Felt like such an adult today coming away with kitchenware and tote bags and not anime merch today lmao I am very happy :)

@rowynnellis.bsky.social lovely meeting you briefly today! It was way too loud to have a proper chat but I hope to see you at a Magic event soon :)

Uhhh Tengu Taiko Drummers were straight FIRE today best part of the day

dead

sweet pick up under the radar solid roleplayer value engine juice isn't worth the squeeze worth a look hugely relevant redundant effect It's hard to be original, but the less your Magic writing looks and sounds like a programming language the better it will be

For @hipstersofthecoast.com today I wrote about the experimental storytelling and artistic possibilities that might linger in one of the most infamously commodified Magic products: Secret Lairs. Give it a read! www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/11/for-...

Me last week: 5 drops are the new 6 drops Me this week: Unless 👀 Fr though some of these are cards I don't see that often that provide the sauce, or even dominate games blog.cardkingdom.com/6-fantastic-...

cheeky little mail day while I wait for my avatar shrines stuff

Positive politics - energising and hopeful - another reason to join the @greenparty.org.uk 👏💚

I do miss how back in the day you had one commander release and it was like the most important day of the year as a commander player, spamming spoilers and everyday to see what the new decks and cards were and then talking about it with your friends

For the first time in like 6-8 weeks I have nothing in my "urgent & important" quadrant, my flat is tidy, and I am ahead on work. This feeling has become so alien to me, that the time I've carved out this afternoon for me has so far amounted to a fat lot of nothing. 1/2

Okay this thumbnail is pure propaganda, I literally said "whatever works" and they're setting me up as some kind of Boros fanatic smh In other news, here's the Top 20 cards I'm excited about from Avatar Jumpstart 👀 ...and they're not all RW 😆 blog.cardkingdom.com/the-top-20-c...

Lots of stuff here that you won't read in most of the legacy media which seems completely uninterested in the backgrounds, associations and possible motivations of those behind the BBC crisis. Why was the BBC having its homework marked by a lobbyist who hasn't worked as a journalist for 20 years?

I just realized something about my favorite cards from different TCGs We're all just in a prison of nostalgia, aren't we?

I think I might have to pick up a single of this It's just right up my street

it really show how far the Overton window has shifted when the consistently good takes keep coming from Tory peers 😵

it will never cease to amaze me just how much of my hair comes out of the vacuum head when I give it a good clean and maintenance session btw pro tip save wooden cutlery/chopsticks from takeout cos you never know when you need a pointy stick that saves you putting your little fingees in things

Physical media forever, btw got a feeling its time to start documenting and downloading performances on youtube just in case

Now that we've all dunked on the bonus sheet, I want to change tack a little. What's your favourite art from Avatar? I'm quite enamoured with the composition, color and dynamism of Jet, Rebel Leader. It's a real treat.

little do they know that they will be added to my ridiculous Watch Later playlist, before I watch the first 5-10 minutes while eating - only to never return and finish them

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC. This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting. iandunt.substack.com/p/extra-edit...

this card is absurd in the best possible way

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

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK. And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there. THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

this is an injustice of grand proportions

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug Going to this was meant to be the alternative to playing another 100 hours of a game I've already played But instead, it's all I'm thinking about. What a brain worm.

Damn, there are some -tasty- 5-drops out there. Here are 5 Five-Drops I can't stop playing recently in Commander. Are you cultured enjoyers of these cards? Do you have another one you want to evangelize about? 👀

Witcher 10 Year Anniversary Concert times with @forceofwilko.bolasgang.com 😄 Getting to meet Percival at the end was awesome! Need to continue this watching orchestra soundtracks thing because it's amazing #TheWitcherinConcert

Got reminded today that this was 10 years ago TEN YEARS Good times

Good thread, and I will add that men DO NOT LIKE IT when women say "hey, you fucked up," and to the extent that women tend to soften the blow with indirectness, it's because men feel like their honor is insulted if they have to take feedback from women.

witcherconcert witcherconcert witcherconcert WITCHER CONCERT tomorrow @forceofwilko.bolasgang.com can I get a "lelele lelele lele le le le la"

Secret Lair #MTG

I thought this was just a comment about the frameless scene cards being hard to read. It took seeing this tweet 3 separate times to realise they were different cards...

Deck updates time! Joshua got some more draw and some more removal, and some protection/burn from Avacyn. Glimpse provides mana for Joshua's flip, and Will of the Jeskai has a bunch of flicker and utility spells we can reuse. I cut Laurine, Uncivil Unrest, Feldon and Bounty Agent.

Accessibility nightmare tbh

Ride the wave, sure But let's keep working on building that wave too. 👇 join.greenparty.org.uk ☝️

i could smell the mustard and the onions

I've aimed for a B2 (in intent) for this first attempt at a more thematic Shrines deck. Happy for it to float up to B3 after I playtest it. Excited to try it out! Also needed Shrine tokens, so made my own with some photographs I took this year 🥰 moxfield.com/decks/nadA8a...

If you're in the same boat as me with wanting to try a shrines deck (or revisit one), here are a smattering of interesting synergy cards that might be worth a look 👀 blog.cardkingdom.com/7-underrated...

I'm kinda desperate to make old Aurelia relevant again by making a Boros version of Isshin, and this is the kind of card that makes that deck work

Gotta find room for this bad boy :0 "How many basics do you even run in 5C?" Great question. But see this as a Harvest Season that leaves behind a +1 to your Shrine count, that might also give you a couple more free Rampant Growths & cantrip before it runs out out of gas. That's a great deal.

Omg - someone call @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social - boys are talking about love. And that it is actually really lovely and empowering to be loved and to love.

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote: "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

You must take my legitimate concerns seriously, ideally without making me say out loud what they are as I find when I do that they tend to sound a bit awful.

i am never gonna laugh obnoxiously at hacking scenes where they try something dumb and obvious as a password breaking attempt in movies ever again

while y'all are buying secret lairs I just bought a fancy ionic hair dryer we need to talk about the real issues facing women in magic and that's how financially demanding it is to look good and also play magic 💅
