I've said it before and I'll say it again: Canon sets will get way more love than they did five years ago because of UB fatigue. If Nemesis came out today we'd react this same way because it wasn't a shareholder value-induced fever dream with seven different versions of Gus Fring.

POV: You've traveled back in time to 2016 to warn people about the horrors of the Trump Administrations but they just want to play Modern

Yesterday I made the biggest single-card sale of my vending career and it's all thanks to @manapool.com (via recommendation from @shippingshield.bsky.social) - it's great to have an alternative to a certain union-busting TCG marketplace and hopefully I can keep up the momentum!

The Rockies setting their single game franchise record for runs in any park other than Coors is like Elvis winning his only Grammy in the gospel category.

I may not be able to bring fascist politicians and economy and environment destroying billionaires to justice but I can make Amulet Titan players on #MTGO go through the motions. When you have the power to hold people accountable for their crimes, use it.

5-0 a Modern league with this list and then 1-4 the very next one with zero changes. The Wildfire matchup is way too dicey but I also don't want to give up Wear/Tear, so next time will be -1 fetch +1 basic Mountain mtgdecks.net/Modern/izzet... @shippingshield.bsky.social

One of the first jobs I applied to after leaving the Cortland Standard was a junior hockey announcer job that would require a 1,000 mile-plus move. After I sent my application email, the owner got back to me basically right away, impressed with my qualifications. (1/4)

Hey @facetofacegames.bsky.social did I leave a pair of black wireless headphones at the Ottawa RC?

B&R update got me 3-0 at a local weekly, 4-1 in two leagues, and 0-3 1-6 at a 68 player RCQ. Back to Prowess I guess.

RIP Mr. Boros

B&R update got me like

I went 1-5 on the weekend against Boros and my one win was against someone whose literal last name was Boros and had the emblem tattooed on his arm. If the deck gets neutered tomorrow I will not be upset. To be clear, I do not wish a similar fate on Mr. Boros.

If Commander is going to be the bastion of community and inclusivity it claims to be, we have to ditch the bracket system, and you must be willing to play against competitive players and accept your fate when your 1 or 2 with zero interaction runs into Thoracle or Godo.

Omnath, Neobrand, drop. Time to eat my feelings.

Black Saturday in full effect at @facetofacegames.bsky.social Ottawa @shippingshield.bsky.social

Today in my Facebook memories I found a story about a baseball game I was broadcasting, and how one of the coaches got ejected by the umpire because the ump thought the coach was mouthing off at him. (1/4)

Whole lot of Magical gatherings this week. Running Store Champs Thursday, then driving to @facetofacegames.bsky.social Ottawa immediately afterward, then back to Westborough to run my first Modern Monday. And I will have a video of the experience next week. #mtgcommunity ##magicthegathering #mtg

5-0d a Modern league with stock Prowess. First round of my next league got shithoused by Tron. What the fuck even is this format #magicthegathering #mtg #mtgo #modern @shippingshield.bsky.social

This week in whatever this is

I remembered!

I was not selected. I will still be in Ottawa. I will still attempt to pull this off. I will not elaborate.

#Commander #FNM returns to PlayNow Westboro tonight at 6 p.m.! #MTGStrixhaven officially drops, all ages and brackets welcome, more singles for sale, more new friends to meet! (Or opponents to crush, depending on how you look at it)

Not that I disagree with the result nor did I not think Roman was gonna win, but it feels like a waste to have Punk come out to his first 1v1 Mania main event to Miseria and then just lose, no matter how good the match was. #WrestleMania

3 wins, 2 horses, 0 losses. #mtgstrixhaven

God DAMMIT

If I am selected I will film the most aggressively Canadian piece of Magic content I can imagine while in town. An actual Canadian could probably come up with something more Canadian but let a man dream.

More free #Commander #FNM tonight at PlayNow Toys & Games in Westboro, MA! And don't forget the #MTGStrixhaven prerelease next Friday!

My Costco lunch says Hail Satan

10 players for the first #FNM under my watch! (Eight pictured, ninth (me) took the photo, 10th arrived later.) Let's keep it rolling this and every Friday at PlayNow Toys & Games in Westboro, MA! Free entry #Commander every week except for prereleases, including #MTGStrixhaven on 4.17! #mtg #tcg

Running my first #FNM tonight at PlayNow in Westboro, MA. Free entry #Commander every week except for prereleases, buying and selling singles, and more events to come in May including store champs!

Hot take: Not that SOS isn't a home run set, but we are going to hear these comments a lot more about in-universe sets that we might not praise as much otherwise due to UB fatigue. You don't know what you've got till it's gone, etc. etc.

I am in the market for a nonfoil, ethically sourced FoW for my CEDH deck. Glad to know I have one more option.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all my trans friends who are way cooler than I ever could be and have helped me learn so much and become a better person.

I'm just going to become a full-time Mystery Booster sealed hustler at this point. Not pictured: The Natural Order and foil Walking Ballista I popped in the event right after I took this photo. @shippingshield.bsky.social #PAXEast #mb2 #mtg #magicthegathering

What my last remaining brain cell is up to this week NOTE: Thursday @jackboxgames.com charity stream is now at 2:30 p.m. Eastern.
