As a gentleman who strives *mostly* to remain in the F2P corner of Arena... @amytheamazonian.bsky.social is the hero I need. I also get a chuckle every time I see these posts. Usually, the day this happens in the Shop, that's the day I forget to do my dailies. 😅

Tonight during D&D, my con-man Warlock infiltrated a block party (disguised as a homeless man), and successfully stole the uniform off a town guard. He was magically compelled to nap, but I was dying of laughter.

I know I'm broke, Bsky. I'm doing my best. 😭😭

Everyone! Stop what you're doing, and help me with an internal debate! Ragost needs a Command Tower, but I don't want to spend $50+ on the Galaxy Foil Through the Wormhole one. So! Fallout gave us a literal Diner. SpongeBob works in food service, and lives in the ocean. Help me CHOOSE!!!

Saw the deck list for the new Lorehold Pre-Con yesterday. A fair portion of the land base is just cards I put in every deck. The reprint value is bonkers on top of that. I feel like I could play it, unmodified, quite happily. Strixhaven is cool. I'm excited to go back.

With all the stuff going on these days I definitely didn't have "Afroman restores my faith in humanity" on my Bingo card.

See y'all in Chat!

I don't really make a big fuss about me. But I love and appreciate all of you, in our little, cozy corner of the internet. ❤️🤍🥹

Got back from Chaos Draft. Went 2-1, playing Abzan. Was undefeated going into Round 3. Lost. Dropped from first to 3rd, losing out on prize support. Turned to my buddy." If I knew it would have gone down that way, I'd have been happier going 0-3 playing Boros." Got granted a pity pack.

The 9 cards that made me. The early days are overrepresented, but we begin in the beginning. I would not have played Magic, if not for the first three.

Had some ideas for a Ragost deck. Really wishing I had an affordable Alterist. So far my ideas are thus: Gordon Ramsay Memes, with Ragost instead. Demand Answers is "Where's the LAMB SAUCE?!" Harsh Mentor is "Idiot Sandwich". Chef's Kiss is "Finally. Some good effing food."

Just got home from a Chaos Draft, and I went 0-3 (but did it my way). However, My pick 1s were like, $44 in value, and my deck was stupid fun. 😊

Alan? Cooking? Yeah. That tracks.

The Pre-release Promo (un-stamped 😭) Hexing Squelcher, and my Pre-release deck... Azorious Fish Police. I went 5-0-1, and apologized after every game action. I got to feel like @steelcitybrad.bsky.social for one sealed event, and I won, but I honestly don't know how control players sleep at night.

My Pre-release got snowed out. LGS is doing another one tomorrow... I might be able to make it for that one? 🤞

An update: I went 5-3, which I found respectable. My final loss was utterly pathetic, as I got flooded, and Aang was exploded, immediately. 😭

Thursday means it's time for EDH the way it was meant to be played! This week's guests are all heavyweights in the magic community, whether it's in front of the camera or behind the desk running the competitive scene. @mtgkelly.bsky.social @mentalmisplay.bsky.social @veggiewagon.bsky.social

What were your first four Commander Decks?

Day was had! Went to the LGS for Commander! Swapped Borderless Foil Kefka to a buddy for my darling boy, Mog! (Pictured, so people can appreciate the glow-up.) Played some cEDH. Did the thing once or twice. Had pizza. Very good day! Carry on.

Got a hold of the Chocobo Bundle from my LGS. Probably shouldn't have bought it, on account of the crater where my PC used to be. Pretty happy with the results, considering. This makes for my third Traveling Chocobo, and the fanciest yet.

I run my mouth in chat... A LOT. Thanks @mentalmisplay.bsky.social for getting me active! This is your fault. @genomancer.bsky.social @steelcitysteph.bsky.social @steelcitybrad.bsky.social @donifmtgc.bsky.social @jenfilthymtgcasual.bsky.social @thattcgguy.bsky.social I've only just BEGUN! 🤪

AAAHHH!!! I'm so lucky I get to pod with these utterly lovely ladies! I refuse to be chill about it, and YOU SHOULDN'T EITHER!! Come shout at me in chat, and watch me get beat up. I do, in fact, have the most punchable face in EDH.

Boss, has the correct take. I'm a huge fan of Marvel and Stan Lee. Stan said, "Every comic is somebody's first." Same goes for Magic. Every set/product is somebody's first. Keep that in mind, and always try to be kind. I am much happier having new people to play with, and teach about the game.

If you stitch Silly and Nervous together Frankenstein-style, that's me most days. Unless it's February... Then, I'm Sad Pumpkin.

Hello everyone! As you may know, our friend at @infinitokens.com was recently injured during Magic Con Atlanta. This injury has created some difficulties that may result in a loss of revenue. To support our friend, I have partnered with some others to bring you #NotAFundraiser p1/?

I got into and out of queue so fast, I don't have a more current picture. 🎉🦈SHARK ACQUIRED!! 🦈🎉

I'm podding up with some utterly lovely people, once again!! I can't wait!! See y'all on Tuesday! 😎

Also, in rare back-to-back Arena posts, I cleaned up pretty good in a Quick Draft (surprising me.) Playing Boros (surprising absolutely nobody.)

Fleem cosmetics were delivered on Arena! PRAISE FLEEM!

Won (yesterday's) Commander League game. Took people to Balloonland. Lived the dream with Anointed Procession and Ojer Taq. 13 land drops on my final turn. These were the contents of my promo pack. I dunno about fate, but definitely, cosmic irony. Don't tell me Boros can't ramp.

It's an honor, and a privilege to pod up again with these delightful folks.

😎

Am I happy that he got a card? Hell, yeah! Do I think he does something simple, that's not too powerful? Yeah. Am I a bit sad that he doesn't make a vehicle token called Cabbage Cart, that explodes into food tokens? Yeah... 😭😭

Guys, Balloonland! got tags, and I rewrote the Primer. Please clap. moxfield.com/decks/Dv9-FP...

Big mail day. Boats becomes more luxurious. Did I need the Judge Foil Merchant Scroll? No, but also, yes. (It's got a pirate on it, duh!) Stuff like this is exactly why I have 5 half-built decks next to my desk. I'm busy making my beloved decks shiny.

Hey, Commander players: It's actually fun to build a "bad" deck, with a weird restriction. Find a dumb card you like, and build a deck around it.

Today, my Plans got foiled. I'm not mad, though.

Been futzing around with a new Standard deck. Turns out, broken stuff is still broken.

Hey, look. I'm included!! With other cool people!! 😎

Judge me based on my commanders...

If you do one thing today share this link. It has all the details for the Hate Has No Home Stream including participants AND auctions which go LIVE tomorrow. More information will be showing up here throughout the week including some giveaways you don't want to miss! linktr.ee/hatehasnohome

Sunday at 12 pm pst @donifmtgc.bsky.social and I are playing commander with @altr-no-ego.bsky.social and @girldickenergy.bsky.social Going to be a good time! Link below 👇

After some consideration, here is my summary of the Brackets: Bracket 1: Bumper Cars Bracket 2: Toyota Yarii (pl. Yaris) Bracket 3: Stock Sports Cars Bracket 4: Fast & Furious Bracket 5: Formula One Racing I think it's a good description of intent/power. I dunno if it'll be useful, but it's here.

Blue App is on my phone. Gearing up for PAX Unplugged tomorrow. That is all.
