For this week's second "Drive to Work", I sit down with rules expert @wotcjess.bsky.social to talk about layers. Don't worry, this podcast is an intro to the topic: share.transistor.fm/s/66cff8d0 audio.transistor.fm/m/shows/2145... #mtgdtw #WotCStaff

This week's first "Drive to Work" podcast (#1359) talks about the odd fact that I'm technically a Magic artist. Note this podcast was recorded before Bicycle Elemental was made public: share.transistor.fm/s/a7f4264f audio.transistor.fm/m/shows/2145... #mtgdtw #WotCStaff

My start in Magic was making Magic puzzles. Today, I present my first #MoodSwings puzzle. Can you solve it? #WotCStaff

Squen and Cragg are back with a Marvel-ous guest! #MTGxMarvel

Today’s #mtgtrivia question: What was the same about all the members of the Esper miniteam for Shards of Alara (something that had never happen before or since)? #WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday’s #mtgtrivia question: Planeswalkers premiered in Lorwyn, but dydn’t appear again until Shards of Alara. The plan, at the time, was for them to appear sporadically. #WotCStaff

Today's #MakingMagic column is an advice column where the five colors give out advice: magic.wizards.com/en/news/maki... #mtg #WotCStaff

Today’s #mtgtrivia question: What card type appeared in Shards of Alara, but not the three premier sets before it? #WotCStaff

Answer to the last #mtgtrivia question: Spitting Image. Green can only clone its own creatures (and these days there are usually added restrictions). #WotCStaff

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Here's me & Meris talking about Reality Fracture from the last #MagicCon. #WotCStaff

This week's third bonus episode (#1358) is all about the strategy of Mood Swings: share.transistor.fm/s/9c7837e5 audio.transistor.fm/m/shows/2145... #mtgdtw #WotCStaff

This week's second "Drive to Work" podcast (#1357) is another in my series to discuss every Magic expansion. In this podcast, I talk about Aether Revolt, the second set in the Kaladesh block: share.transistor.fm/s/51880687 audio.transistor.fm/m/shows/2145... #mtgdtw #WotCStaff

Today's first "Drive to Work" podcast (#1356) talks about why we don't change some things even though we're tempted to: share.transistor.fm/s/c65185f7 audio.transistor.fm/m/shows/2145... #mtgdtw #WotCStaff

I love hearing from people enjoying #MoodSwings. : )

Here’s another fun way to play #MoodSwings. #moodswingstcg #WotCStaff

Today's #mtgtrivia question: What Eventide hybrid card would need to add "you control" to its rules text to be modern day color pie compliant? #WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question: Needle Specter. #WotCStaff

Today's #mtgtrivia queston: The art of what Eventide card appears on the booster box? #WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question: Gilder Bairn. #WotCStaff

Today's #mtgtrivia question: What creature, who premiered in Eventide, had art that was so popular it inspired two other creature cards? #WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday’s #mtgtrivia question: Figure of Destiny. #WotCStaff

Something new today: Wizards Showdown! I brought in a cast to draft Marvel Super Heroes (including the lead designers Mark Rosewater and Dave Humpherys!), tell stories, and throw down. Who takes it down? Come and watch!! youtu.be/N4DIOGR5oyE #wotcstaff

Here's @gavinverhey.bsky.social, @grumpherys.bsky.social, @taratheoharis.bsky.social and myself doing a pick-two draft with #MTGxMARVEL: www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4DI... #WotCStaff

Here’s another fun way to play #MoodSwings. #WotCStaff #moodswingstcg

Today's #mtgtrivia question: What was the highest testing card in market research for Eventide? #WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia: Eventide was the only set ever where the chosen lead designer dropped out before the design began. And yes, that required me to step in and lead the design for the set. #WotCStaff

Today's #MakingMagic is part 3, of 3, of my #MTGxMARVEL Vision Design Handoff Document: magic.wizards.com/en/news/maki... #mtg #WotCStaff

Today’s #mtgtrivia question: Eventide was the only time in my history as Head Designer that something happened when putting together the design team. What was it? #WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday’s #mtgtrivia question: Kitchen Finx, designed by @gamemakerfletch.bsky.social. Sean’s wife Heather was fascinated by a chipmunk in their yard, so Sean named one of his designs after it. #WotCStaff

There are many fun ways to play Mood Swings. Here’s my favorite way to draft. #moodswings #moodswingstcg #WotCStaff

Today's #mtgtrivia question: Which Shadowmoor creature had the design name of Heather's Chipmunk? #WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question: When original Theros introduced the God creature type, we considered errating the rare Spirit Avatar cycle. #WotCStaff

Today's #mtgtrivia question: Years after Shadowmoor, we created a new creature type that we seriously thought about errata-ing onto a cycle of creatures in Shadowmoor. What was the creature type? #WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question: My intended answer was Faeries. I forgot we made some with white hybrid. Treefolk went down a color, but had one with hybrid red/green mana. Elementals were mostly black/red but had a cycle of all the colors. So, the answer is there's no answer. Sorry.

This week's third and bonus episode of "Drive to Work" (#1355) is part five, of five, on my series about the design of every Mood Swings card: share.transistor.fm/s/e63f1b72 audio.transistor.fm/m/shows/2145... #mtgdtw #WotCStaff

My first "Drive to Work" podcast (#1353) is about how design is able to create emotional responses in players: share.transistor.fm/s/81347e1e audio.transistor.fm/m/shows/2145... #mtgdtw #WotCStaff

Today's #mtgtrivia question: The eight main creature types from Lorwyn mini-block appeared in Shadowmoor, but all of them had added a new color, but one creature type. Which one stayed the same? #WotCStaff

Answer to previous #mtgtrivia question: When you appeared one day, there was a Shadowmoor booster. When you clicked on it, it opened and showed you all the cards in the booster, but without any text. Half the cards were hybrid. #WotCStaff

Another #MoodSwings Headliner with a message card got opened. #WotCStaff

Today's #mtgtrivia question: Our first teaser about Shadowmoor appeared when you visited Daily MTG on a specific day. What did we show you about the new set? #WotCStaff

Answer to previous #mtgtrivia question: Reveillark. #WotCStaff

I’m going. : )
