This site never ceases reminding me that folks do not understand rhetorical, and otherwise not seeking an answer, questions

I think the question here is not "what is the convoke package you'll use?" but "what're you going to do with the convoke shell?"

your tax dollars are currently being spent to shoot triple the amount of fireworks in DC that Disneyland uses annually to an gay anthem about community centers used in a violently partisan way for which the Village People would almost certainly object

Shards Block Constructed Commander

The Shards Block, too

Wait fuck this kinda slaps in Xyris what the hell how did I not know about this card

hey I don't know how much of a Venn diagram exists between Magic the gathering players and bass clarinetists but I am doing cool things with music and I just announced a cool project

Commander players: "fun" means different things to different people. it finds Stax, MLD (resource denial), Combo, & interaction fun. it finds Competition & "Playing to Win" fun. it ALSO thinks that creating a Thematic (Vorthos) deck & inserting itself into the world of Magic is fun.

If you don't like Rhystic Study, try Heartwood Storyteller

I played cEDH once upon a time but quickly decided that it wasn't for me and it isn't due to the Rhystic Study discourse. I just quickly grew tired of playing a format that didn't go past turn 3 most of the time. How can you enjoy a social game with a group when everyone's trying to speedrun it?

I think this is just an account where I share cool cards now

Happy Disability Pride Month Protect the ADA.

look at my empire dog the bread is $16 dollars and nobody showed up for the fuckin' circus

Whole lotta replies to this post that read like this

oh yay the Rhystic Study discourse is back

I might be reading this wrong, but it appears that, to Clarence Thomas, who wrote the dissent on today's ruling regarding birthright citizenship, the 14th Amendment was "for Blacks only."

"Sport... builds exactly the kind of character that is most useful for the social system. From the perspective of our social (and economic) system — which is to say, from the perspective of those who benefit from and direct it — it is useful to have people regard each other as rivals." - Alfie Kohn

my read: magic design is perpetually caught in a three-way tug of war between "ha ha, do you get it?" and "mechanically important for draft" and "we have to sell 5 commander decks every six weeks" to generate any novelty worth attention

oh is that why I keep losing? OHhhhhhhh

my kind of people (also exactly what I did when they announced the bracket system)

no one: absolutely no one: me: walks around in circles at an SCGCon having a mild personality crisis, listlessly muttering to myself, "Does Bracket 1 need to be its own format after all?"

i went to the ludonarratology conference and everyone insinuated that they knew you through a series of subtle hints embedded in the exhibition hall's architecture, going so far as to manipulate my very behavior in order to convey the depth of their knowledge of you

Damn

my music is getting performed in Australia today/tomorrow and I think that's cool

Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great #FilmSky

Walt Disney didn't build two floors worth of multiplane cameras to realize the complexity of Eyvind Earle's design for Sleeping Beauty and then a castle in an orange grove based on its design so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Bluesky banning Bugs Matrix is a fucking joke. Bugs is one of the pillars of this goddamned website, and this is bullshit

This article is fucking hilarious: consequence.net/2026/06/alex...

I'm just gonna say it The wing mouth freaks me out

Archaeologists: D.C. Capitol May Have Once Been Used For Legislating

what did bugsmatrix do to anybody to get the ban hammer? be too goddamn clever?

Sure enough, someone on Reddit: "Is Fin Fang Foom too mean at bracket 2 tables? I'm only going to remove 2-4 lands per turn"

I resent the video-fication of podcasting. That's just a TV show. Podcasts aren't supposed to be for hot people. They have everything else

Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!

And new fucking art for EVERY card in commander decks whether reprints or not! A few thousand more to artists is pennies on the bottom line overall!

Set releases and preview season would actually have so much more weight. Not to mention the time to enjoy a release or step back for a few months. Breathing room, peaks/valleys of interest, time to celebrate. These are deeply needed things. Plus designers/artists/staff deserve the world.

hey so I'm having trouble working on music today and I was wondering if you'd like to go to Disneyland with me instead

Artists are so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they don't stop to think if they should... Yes. Yes they should

PRIDE MONTH AIN'T OVER YET Y'ALL

Corporations don't make art. (at least for now. and I'd like it to stay this way) Corporations employ artists to make the art.

You've only ever voted for men? Sounds pretty gay to me bro

every once in a while when I think about how Rhystic Study is a Game Changer but Chains of Mephistopheles isn't I am forcibly reminded of when Michelle Visage flashed her tits with literally no warning on Drag Race and bellowed "those aren't breasts, THESE are BREASTS, THEEESE ARE BREASTSSSS"

OHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I will not touch arena until @magic.wizards.com recognizes the union.

AI CEO: our technology will fire 30% of American employees Also AI CEO: we get to pirate everyone’s intellectual property, otherwise we will tank the NSDQ Also AI CEO: it’s not our fault that our chatbot talked those kids into suicide or shooting up the school Also AI CEO: stop freaking out

I want fewer magic sets, that take longer to produce, made by people who are paid more to make them, & I'm NOT joking.

🫵 I love the gay people in my phone that I also get to see irl sometimes

When you hear the upcoming preview panel for Amsterdam is going to talk a lot about Reality Fracture...and the next three main universe sets next year.

Hot Take: UB sets should be smaller, in size and in events. Yes, they are wonderful for bringing in new players. But between the anecdotes coming in about sparsely attended pre releases and the questionable characters on cards makes me feel skeptical about this approach. 1/
