TIL that I have built 2/3 of the Commanders in Alliances.

In case you're as dumb as me: If you want to play a creature and activate the Power-up in the same turn, it costs the written Power-up cost (total). You do not have to cast the creature, subtract the mana value and then pay the rest. The way I was doing the MATH. 🤦🤦🤦

ME @wachelreeks.com @tappytoeclaws.bsky.social and @budgetcommander.bsky.social are playing so come give the Trevor Project money and watch us fight each other with cardboard www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiDO...

So Jimmy and I are worthy of Mjolnir, but @joshleekwai.bsky.social is not? Hmmmm

Reading this card is like trying to read TV static. Give me a text box, I'm begging you.

Get your tickets for The Cookout ‘26 Now! 👨🏾‍🍳 June 19th-20th over at @geekyteas.bsky.social in Burbank from 12pm-7pm pst each day The new Marvel Heroes set also prereleases that weekend! There will be drafts!!! Get a heads up over at @coolstuffinc.com by using my code TTJ5 at checkout!

Finally got my Captain Sisay deck on camera and she didn't disappoint! This was an EPIC game with huge, silly stacks and big swings. Don't miss this one! @strixhavendropout.bsky.social and @itsannamargaret.com were super fun guests. Don't forget to follow them!

I've been a big fan of Summoner's Sending in Excava lately. It's not a perfect Bitterblossom, obviously; you have to exile a creature card to get the token. But incidental graveyard hate and repeatable flyers has been pretty sick!

do not ask the audience what content they want to see. They will not actually show up. I promise. Make something you want to make & if an audience exists for what you’re doing, they’ll come. Don’t worry about thinking there’s “too much” of that thing either. If you wanna make it thats good enough.

I had so much fun recording this episode with Tomer! Getting to look at decks through the eyes of another deck builder is so challenging and exciting! Cool to see how our styles and priorities were different.

Four decks that flopped on Game Knights get another chance at glory in this episode of Extra Turns. Who will emerge triumphant as the winner of the losers? And who will go home a double loser?

Day 285 of Natedogg's Daily Rules Tip: Q: I control Gorma, the Gullet and a random creature. No creatures have died yet this turn. I cast Mycoloth. Can I order my replacement effect so I sacrifice to devour first, then apply Gorma's replacement effect so Mycoloth enters with three counters? #mtg

There are two cards with Devour in the Witherbloom precon, but Gorma officially does NOT see Devoured creatures in time to have them enter with additional counters. Super confusing interaction to put in a precon, but nice to have a definitive answer. Share with your Witherbloom friends!

@wachelreeks.com “Ancestral Landfall” is the peak comedy. Don’t let anyone tell you different. 🫡

First draft of Strixhaven and went 7-0 with a pretty messy Silverquill deck. I was impressed with how well it hung together with a medium suite of targeted spells, except Killian's Confidence. That card's nuts. Ral felt terrible. Duelist was incredible. Researcher lived up to billing, pretty good.

Went to a Prerelease last night and went 2-1 with a nasty little Silverquill deck. I did not photograph it because I’m bad at *content.* Lost to a sick Temur build with TWO Quandrixes and the Izzet board wipe. THEN, I drafted a spicy Witherbloom deck this morning with friends and cleaned up! 3-0

We're upping our game at #MCVegas w/ special guest Super Bowl champ Leonard Williams! He has one championship ring, but can he take down the competition at #GameKnightsLive? Don't miss Game Knights Live on Friday 5/1 @ 4 PM. Badges: mtg.social/MCLV26GKL #MTGStrixhaven #sponsored @magic.wizards.com

I've had this silly Brother's Yamazaki deck idea kicking around in my head for like 9 years now, and I'm so glad Jordan and I were able to bring it to life in the most chaotic commander game I've ever been a part of!

You've never watched a gameplay video like this before. It's a 10 PLAYER COMMANDER GAME! Yes, you read that right. And it's even crazier and more chaotic than you imagine. In the best possible way: youtu.be/CvyRDmwOeCs

Back in September, we filmed a video that is probably the craziest thing we've ever attempted. We've been working on it for the past 8 months and it's finally coming out tomorrow. I promise, you've never seen a Commander game like this one. Can't wait for y'all to see it.

Dragon’s Approach got a new dragon tutor target and I don’t want to cut anyyyyyy.

I owe you an apology, Strixhaven. I was not familiar with your Pony game.

This Friday we welcome @wachelreeks.com back to #packitup for an exclusive tour of the #mtgstrixhaven college campus! With 4 Strix collector packs and 8 hits from the wall of chaos, these decks turned out to be POWERFUL! Friday 4/10 at 12noon PST… #mtg #magicthegathering #chaosdraft

GGGGG @dansheehan.bsky.social has had enough. He's taking Green Commander designs into his own hands. www.cascadecascade.com/ggggg-2/

I HAVE HAD TO BE COOL ABOUT THE BOROS SUN TITAN HORSE FOR AGES. OBSESSED WITH HIM.

For the purposes of spells like Cryptic Pursuit that care specifically about where a spell was cast from... where are prepared spells cast from?

Is Blight the hottest Locke tech or do I need to go to bed?

Played a Golgari combo deck in the Vintage Cube and it was nasty. Splashed blue for Flash and red for Sneak Attack. Channeled Emrakul. Chained Smog. Flashed Primus. Sneaked Torsten. Did it all.

We’re stepping out of the shadows and onto your screens for a new episode of #GameKnights! @jarvisjohnson.bsky.social joins us for a bodacious battle feat. the new cards from #MTGxTMNT. Catch it while it’s still hot: youtu.be/edT3KiM67z0 @joshleekwai.bsky.social @wachelreeks.com @magic.wizards.com

Yall. The response of this has been nothing short of awesome. Thank you. Dan & I really set out with the dream of “what if we could get our favorite mtg writers in a room & cook?” Getting to accept outside pitches seemed like a fever dream but we’re already approaching money points where (cont)

Every day my Norin stickers deck strays further from god. archidekt.com/decks/459497...

Me, getting into Old School like:

I did 2 pick-two drafts at this event and had a ton of fun! Raphael, the Nightwatcher was sick in my first limited deck and even sicker in my opponent's (he had one too). I was playing UR artifacts with a low curve and neat synergies.

We teamed up w/ @magic.wizards.com to host a super fun early-access #MTGxTMNT live-play event at our studio a couple of weeks ago and got to try out the precon, the new Turtle Team-Up product (super fun!) and of course DRAFT NIGHT. The limited environment seems sweet. Check out our best pulls:

Is this Dominik Mayer turtle art??? Neat!

Now that’s a patriot
