I’m built different, by which I mean so incorrectly that it’s almost performance art

Hmm... I may need to reconsider my plans to change commanders when I revamp my mono-red commander deck. Maybe I should stick with Ashling, the Pilgrim?

So I've been meaning to build a Raffine (or maybe Soundwave) token deck for a while, and I think discovering that this card exists might be what tips me over the edge into finally building it:

the Segante video is out now ~ check it out!^^ youtu.be/q7Cpm3tUJNI

Segante in OMENS OF CHAOS was trans from the moment he showed up in the outline, and I never had to fight, at any stage of the book, to keep him that way: all the people involved with this story understood why he was important.

Good morning all! I'm home from #MCAmsterdam and feeling good. Trying to keep those vibes up to surf the seas of potential post-con depression. Anyway, here's a gorgeous sunset I saw on my flight home.

JUDGE AT MAGIC TOURNAMENT: several of your opponents have asked that you not breathe heavily with that glazed over dreamy look in your eyes when you're milling them ME: show me where it says in the rulebook how I'm supposed to breathe

#MCAmsterdam was such a good weekend. I played some games, met plenty of friends new and old, and had so many good talks. Thanks to everyone I spent time with. These events are so hectic, so even a minute's chat is appreciated. 🧵 🔽

Home. Yay. Sleep soon.

Got put in front row of economy on the flight home from #MCAmsterdam. I have INFINITE LEGROOM!

Somehow I forgot to tag @narukamiknight.bsky.social on this one, and for that I apologize. She's extra amazing, of course.

JK Rowling uses her Harry Potter money to fund lawsuits against companies that support trans rights so no, I do not care what Hogwarts house you are in.

Signal boost for lost deck from #MCAmsterdam

Look at this all-star group of people I got to hang out with today!!! #MCAmsterdam #WotCStaff @jaqalyte.bsky.social @wotcmatt.bsky.social @raginglevine.com

One nuance: Tobalow refers to the card’s color, not its color identity. A red instant with a green mana symbol in its text box is okay in the aforementioned deck; that card is red. A red-green hybrid card is not; that card is red and green. #WotCstaff

I'm bad at this social media thing, and getting pictures with folks, but today was a good day at #MCAmsterdam, capped off with a wonderful steak dinner.

Good morning #MCAmsterdam. Welcome to day 2. Let's hecking go.

Seeing this image right after a nap was not the move because I legit thought there were 10 sets and half of them We're just real places. I was not prepared for us to visit the mystical plane of Michigan.

A @warroomedh.bsky.social group dinner at Senior Moustachio 😄 @manatithe.bsky.social @strafulbix.bsky.social @nuclearrayne.bsky.social @maxmakesmagic.com @thadrin.bsky.social @jaqalyte.bsky.social @nuclearrayne.bsky.social

First @infinitokens.com sketch of the weekend.

First game of the weekend here at #MCAmsterdam. Come grab a game with me in the Command Zone all weekend!

I'm here, #MCAmsterdam

#MCAmsterdam : The journey begins. Heading to the airport too early, but happy to finally be on the way!

Ok, I've decided on my deck roster, and these are the 8 decks I'll be (most likely) bringing with me to #MCAmsterdam (🧵, in no particular order)

Hmm.

She's such a repulsive woman to use her money to lash out at others in this way.

A reminder for anyone going to #MCAmsterdam: If you haven't already, trim your fingernails today so that they won't be gross and will also have a few days to regrow so you can pick up cards!

The Inconvenience Store. All I wanted was a cold drink, instead I got a full bath. An art installation on the Toronto waterfront. #EastCoastKin #publicart #Toronto #UrbanGaze

I think the problem with the Rock is that the Rock still thinks he’s really cool while John Cena realized that he’s a ridiculous human being and did interesting things with that and Batista realized he was a ridiculous human being and decided to become Daniel Day Louis

Pisces: You finally settle on a retirement and savings plan, and that plan is “fuck my future self.”

This one?

I hate that I understand this joke, and - worse - laughed.

Tl:Dr for discussion sake, I think it being the entry point to mtg means our whole 'this is the respite from competitive play/mindset/meta' has at least shifted to 'i want to be good at game to beat my friends & play with powerful shit on purpose' & therefore lost a smidge of original intent/spirit

This is extremely true. I still miss silly Commander.

I would love to live in a world where it didnt feel like every industry and hobby I love is having the copper wire taken from it

Long shot, but would anyone be interested in buying this very expensive judge promo Survival of the Fittest from me? Happy to do part trade, multiple payments, etc. It's just gotten far too expensive for me to justify owning it anymore.

🚨 TRANSPORT ALERT 🚨 The metro station Rai WILL BE CLOSED during the period in which #MCAmsterdam takes place. The closest alternative is taking the blue line metro (M52), destination Zuid, and dropping at station Europaplein, which is located right in front of Amsterdam RAI Convention Center

In case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.

Hmm... who should I be supporting from this point in the World Cup now that my two favourites are out? Of the remaining 8 teams, I'd be willing to support Norway, France, Spain, Belgium, or maybe England...

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

The amount of games you see out there called shit like Immortal Glaivekin: Embers of Ashkatan because the devs have been all consumed with making it for seven years and they can't conceive of a normal person reading it and going "what the fuck is a Glaivekin"
