I'm so glad that Zack Polanski is owning the spotlight & acting as a beacon for the UK left right now - because otherwise the Your Party shambles would be absolutely soul crushing, rather than just kind of funny at this point.

Can’t believe it’s Desert Bus time again. Hey, come and hang out while we raise money for children in hospitals. Going live in ~20 minutes, and then staying live for like a week. DesertBus.org

Hiii. 👋 Going to be annoying for a moment. Want to mention that on November 29th, UK Pauper Nationals will be happening with a whopping 100 players already registered! Excited to jam Pauper in a world without High Tide? You can grab your ticket now! 👇 buytickets.at/mtgpauperuk/... #MTGPauper

as @emmapartlow.com once said: “Lethal face card.”

Exercising my wordbending abilities today (it's Limited Set Review season), so I'm thinking about this absolute banger from a recent episode of North 100 Showdown. #MTGxATLA

Quick B&R Schedule Correction: An earlier release had June 3rd as a proposed B&R date. That was intended to be June 30th. The full updated schedule for 2026 will look like this:

None of this was ever about Online Safety, not about protecting kids. It was all about control and surveilance. And if you think that sounds a bit too "tin foil hat conspiracy theory", well, you might want to rethink your perspective.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Find you a man who has his various SCG trophies on show but also a trophy for best soup from a recent soup party > www.twitch.tv/ross_merriam

Really interesting conversation happening on WeeklyMTG right now about ban windows and cadence going forward. Stressing that these dates are subject to change, but here's the tentative dates for B&R announcements throughout 2026. > www.twitch.tv/magic

the very nasty people of Avalanche have been very unfair and hurt our beautiful mako reactors which are so green, so beautiful, we love them, we're all going to see mother

I found the only comment on the High Tide ban that matters:

I know we're quickly moving towards Avatar's release, but I've been thinking about Lorwyn Eclipsed a bunch (I mean, who hasn't?). One thing that's been slightly bugging me about the Headliner card (Bitterbloom Bearer) is the serialization tag. It looks a bit lost on a Rebecca Guay card. #MTGLorwyn

Tomorrow we'll of course be discussing today's B&R announcement on WeeklyMTG, with guests @carmparens.bsky.social & @thequietfish.bsky.social. Drop your top questions here and we'll answer as many as we can on-air. #WOTCstaff

New B&R article just dropped. Lots of stuff to talk about on the tabletop and digital fronts, as well as some notes from @thequietfish.bsky.social on updates to design heuristics. Link to the full article below! #WOTCstaff

For the Pauper players, here's a follow-up article on why we banned High Tide. There's a lot more nuance compared to previous bans, and recommend reading the article if you have a few minutes to spare. magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno... #MTGPauper

B&R is live! magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...?

I made a video about Magic Spotlight Spider-Man Got it finished before Vivi is inevitably banned tomorrow! (I have become the content I once sought to destroy) Watch below!

Thank you to @hamburgertime.bsky.social who reminded me that Noggles exist in Magic: The Gathering.

We are annoyed by the BBC because it in fact embodies precisely what it is to be British now: Cursed by a legacy of institutions & led by a whimpering class of fearful idiots constantly harassed by a hostile media.

just to review, last month: 🚩 musk calls for overthrow of uk government & violence (again) 🚩tories adopt an ethnic cleansing policy 🚩 trump wh bullies bbc into changing leadership

Today is finally the day - Magic B&R dropping around 4pm EST today and I'm thinking the cards I'd also like to see hit in Standard and Modern.

You wouldn't Depressurize a wall. #MTGxATLA

Did you miss Fridays Avatar: The Last Airbender PPR? No worries, the VOD is now available for your viewing pleasure. Big thanks again to @chriskmooney.bsky.social for coming up and sharing the set with us. youtu.be/8jw1BYuyDGY

📌 Reposting this as I've done a bit of end-of-year cleaning with my Linktree and various social media pages. I'm looking to grow my Instagram and YouTube pages for some personal projects in 2026. Check 'em out! 😤 linktr.ee/emmapartlow

I don't know about you, but there's a level of comfort with Ross playing Arclight Phoenix in the year 2025.

I'm surprised this hasn't been done yet.

We have now entered tasty fruit Christmas bread (also known as stollen) season. RIP my diet.

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER DECK DUMP THREAD 50+ decks for Standard and beyond! EOE Deck dump sponsored this time by @powrdragn.bsky.social! He puts out a ton of excellent standard content with an absolutely incredible variety. Help me show him some love and follow him here and on youtube!

If you missed it yesterday my updated Broodscale guide is now live! It covers 2 different lists with full sideboard and matchup guide for each covering 18 decks. Full guide available for a 15$ sub, but you can buy the SB guide by itself without a sub for 10$.

Chris Mooney is so good at what they do. This P-PR is an absolute treat.

I'm well enough to be writing again and couldn't figure out why everyone was buying Persistent Petitoners (as part of the Bestsellers) - then it came to me. This is gnarly. #MTGxATLA

never thought i'd see an accurate descriptor of england in a magic: the gathering set, but here we are

kind of wild just how much of modern day living is millions of people saying “we don’t want this, it’s dumb, bad, and evil” and then like 10 dudes going “lol too bad” and then they get their way

Today I learned that GameFAQs turned 30 years old this week, so don't mind me as my bones slowly turn into dust.

Accessibility nightmare tbh

Normalize having cookies for breakfast (especially if you're sick).

Nan mais y'a un moment quand on charge avec des T'au aussi faut pas s'étonner du résultat

I see the chess clock conversation come back episodically and as someone who actually plays competitive paper Magic, it's jarring. Chess clocks CANNOT WORK in paper Magic. There are WAY too many priority passes in a single turn for any two players, however competent, to properly handle such a clock.

Magic: The Gathering shares similarities with Weiß Schwarz than it does with Fortnite when it comes to reusing assets from IPs as game pieces (not to mention the strict licensing agreements that come with it).

Big day for people who care about other people

One thing I've forgotten from working a 9-5 all of last week, to then working Magic event coverage over the weekend, and then coming back to your 9-5 is the con crud that comes with it all. 🤧 I will become soup.
