this was posted 6 months ago but i'm just now seeing it. a very well produced look at how @chromamoma.bsky.social handled his first magic card illustration. (he has since done another!) i recognized the art as soon as he laid down the first sketch. 🤖 www.youtube.com/watch?v=onKh...

i love the mtgo vintage cube but it amazes me that they have cards like 4mv tamiyo or eternal witness to support time walk (already one of the best cards in the cube) but don't add anything to support oath and then just shrug when it's not good. there are some great options to help oath be viable!

huge announcement everybody! 👇😯

not 👏 enough 👏 pillows 👏

i had a dream that there was a vintage deck called “cobra shops” that ran bladecoil serpent. it makes no sense…but it was sick. (bladecoil serpent)

it is very weird to me that in 2025, where edh is by far the most popular magic format, wotc chose to print firebending with red mana symbols in the reminder text instead of simply spelling out "red mana"... it seems like a pretty easy accommodation to make?

"behold a noggle" one time. please wotc. 🙏 the world needs this right now.

so this teaser confirms that noggle is still a creature type. (for better or worse) the presence of a separate horse serpent card is interesting. kelpie have been beasts in the past. 🐴🐍

i'll be going to lobstercon for the first time next year. i've been really enjoying premodern and the format has been seeing a surge in popularity. 🦞 case in point: last year this event sold out in three hours, but i'm being told that today it sold out in TWO MINUTES. 😵‍💫

NEW FORMAT IDEA: teething wurmlet is played a lot. other details forthcoming. thank you for your attention to this matter.

this line from tam in today's story basically confirms that her mentor can not be jace. if he is immune to her petrification then he would know that and there is no other reason why he would flinch when making eye contact with a gorgon woman. 🙃 NO OTHER CONCEIVABLE REASON!!

i believe this commander format panel rotation marks the end of nearly 20 years of continuous format stewardship from @scottlarabee.bsky.social? a remarkable contribution.

i feel like the technology exists to auto-detect hex values in card art and add sleeve recommendations to the edhrec pages for commanders. is this already a thing somewhere?

a return to lorwyn had many people speculating about the potential return of the lorwyn five. obviously these characters have been around a lot since the original blocks, but seeing them referenced here feels appropriate. so far we're ~2.5 for 5. 🦁-✅ 🧠-🤯 (jace exploded) 🧟-✅ 🔥-❓ 🪓-❓

people don't seem to mind but i'm still flabbergasted that ub sets are 1/3rd legendary. final fantasy has 100 legendary creatures! when i started playing edh there were 450 commanders total. 😵‍💫

every line kirol has is somehow the best line. also shandalar mentioned. 🎆

SHOT CALLED! 🎯 if somebody wants to send me my smartest-boy-ever award, feel free to mail it to my little house where i live.

it’s kind of weird that we’re up to 8 ink-treader commanders when the other 4 color combos have a total of 5 options combined…

isilu is cool and i mean no disrespect but my guy is built like a ventrifact bottle.

you spend a lot more time running around on roofs in video games than you do in real life. there usually isn't even an easy way to get up there. i can barely jump at all. they should add rope ladders or something. there should be a rope ladder that lets me get up there.

big news for premodern sickos.

it's wild that you can listen to so much music on the internet. one minute you're just sitting in silence and then the next minute, BOOM, camp town races.

i love how they made literally everything in this cute pastoral scene a changeling. 👁️👄👁️ the wagon wheels?? oh those aren't rims, that's just rimothy.

maro posted on blogatog today about how garruk's original name was "fendari". this is something we've known for years (see playtest card), and it's probably just a random placeholder, but it does sound slightly similar to "fomori", so i'm going to count it as evidence towards my crackpot theory. ➕1️⃣

the changeling tree concept art is also incredible. 🌳 the magic story podcast also has a few other pieces of lorwyn eclipsed art that i don't think have been shown previously. it's well worth checking out if you haven't. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OpH...

I see folks who want Magic IP supported and given breathing space. Lorwyn Eclipsed stories start Monday, then Tuesday WeeklyMTG is showing Marvel Super Heroes previews. Now, I don't expect story to be sole community focus for a full week. But can you try NOT stomping out your own story with UB?

is this anything

what’s wrong dear? you’ve barely touched your tir-na-nogettios…

the ub related questions always slow me down but i got there. new pb. world record??? let me know if you complete it faster. edhrec.com/games/crossw...

look at my perfect dog. 🐶🍂 (fall edition)

team shit picked up some new cards in tla but the crappers are still winning by a country mile.

"the best part of magic is the gathering" WRONG: scuttling doom engine.

the new @edhrec.com crossword is good. let me know if you can beat my 11 minute record. ⌛ edhrec.com/games/crossw...

fantasy art often involves wish fulfillment and for me that is being a freaky little critter in a hot spring. ♨️

pov: the last thing a fisherman sees before dying. 🎣😮

i hope we get some new eepy giant cards in lorwyn eclipsed. #honkshoo #mimimi 🥱

damn, my holiday theme deck is over before it even started. 🥲

lorwyn eclipsed return to the land of light and shadow dare to enter the ever-changing plane of lorwyn and shadowmoor and discover your true self. release date: january 23, 2026

avatar the last airbender is just one magic expansion out of many, but the addition of 10 "aang" cards drastically changes the initial results that come up on scryfall. aarakocra sneak is just barely hanging on. +2 mace however remains unparalleled. ➕2️⃣

i’ve always thought it was lame that wine was only available in red, pink, and white so i was very excited to learn that they’ve started doing orange now. hoping they’ll try blue or black next. 🤞🍷🔵

sure, modern horizons sets have wreaked havoc on multiple formats, but looking at the art for everdream next to the art for evermind, i think we can all agree it was completely worthwhile.

choose your weapon. 🗡️

when i encounter folks who assume color identity in edh is meant to uphold the color pie it makes me concerned that there are people who don't think the color pie functions or exists in other formats. like, there is no color identity in legacy but i'm pretty sure it's not complete and utter chaos.

northern lights from my midwestern front yard.

a while back they standardized a lot of cards with cost reducing effects to have affinity, but sadly, they did not update sea gate colossus to say "affinity for party". 🥳

i want to call this a half measure but it feels like banning even twice this many cards still wouldn't be enough. 🙃

22 people for the premodern showdown at spanky’s today in kc. i’m on stiflenaught as usual. 🍤 round 1 vs goblins 🏆🏆 round 2 vs uw control 🏆💀💀 round 3 vs goblins 💀🏆💀

the rogue's gallery aspect of outlaws of thunder junction was a bit corny and random but the way the art for cowboy marchesa mirrors the original conspiracy illustration is quite charming. 🌹

the jack-o-lantern emoji should be seasonal. halloween is OVER. it should revert to a normal pumpkin NOW. 🎃🚫
