fallen empires turns 31 today, the set that fucked up on every possible metric and should've killed magic dead, and yet...

Cracked open my 1924 copy of The Forerunner yesterday to find a few of the facing pages had never been cut after folding. Doubt I should fix that now

I've been playing my own minigame on here for a year now where I delete any tweet that results in more than two follows. Highly recommend, keeps me humble

Realizing my profile picture on here (inherited from Twit) is from over seven years ago. Time flies

the greatest magic writer ever strikes again and again and again and again www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/11/one-...

Fans have always been trailblazing in ways Magic only picks up on years later •Alterists were ahead on borderless cards and art style experimentation •Proxy makers were ahead on visual design and frames •Custom card designers were ahead on using low resolution art assets from outside properties

i hate the hybrid mana debate youtu.be/VNQV6gKFtZw

Early exit polls are showing the hybrid mana freaks at 11%, no changes at 15%, and an astounding 71% for requiring all Commander games to also be Planechase, using a shared planar deck. The players have spoken

i owe so many video game designers an apology

the mtg/linguistics/trans nerds have translated "death before detransition" into phyrexian.

Let's go baseball

Praying for my five-leg parlay to hit (Dodgers win, score 6-4, ten innings, I get P1P1 Lotus in Arena Powered Cube, Fleem dies)

Found a trove of Magic player reactions to a smaller satanic panic, incited in August 1999 by a church in Colorado against Pokemon. Green links are saved and functional, blue are not. •MTGnews Forum •Original report from The Denver Post.

If you're giving Magic cards to trick or treaters, PLEASE note on each card back in sharpie what bracket the card should be played in. It seems obvious to us, but most kids don't realize that Magic (Commander) is a game about obsessive optimization, not fun. Try to start them off on the right foot

Incredibly proud today to share my 300th episode of Casual Magic! Today, I asked my dear friend @timswheelbarrow.bsky.social to interview a community member we've never had on the show- me! youtu.be/nyoYQ99InsQ?...

Pauper Commander Is Sick. We let it rip with our pal @travisnorman.bsky.social in the latest episode: youtu.be/nBucyUjY4Y0 Special thanks to @toomuchdew.bsky.social for supplying most of these decks! #magicthegathering is fun.

Mark Painter, one of Wizards long time (over 18 years) marketing art director, passed away and his celebration of life was this past weekend. Rest in peace Mark, you made things that brought us together and shared joy.

Looking for a scary story tonight? Maybe something you can listen to while cooking dinner? We’re trying something new: a YouTube version of our recently released audiobook version of Chef’s Surprise by Sonia Orin Lyris! youtu.be/YYXUC3A8P_c?...

I know this is going to sound *crazy*. But I Write Robots. Just FYI.

My secret belief is the combo of Jace comics and his role in setup for Reality Fracture risks reviving the tired "too much story focus, too powerful, Magic's mascot, etc" sentiment from a decade ago. Which is why they should lean into it. Jace, Reality Sculptor. Maybe he gets eaten by a wurm too

you can tell this is a game 7 because it's the sixth inning and none of the players have left the stadium yet. even the shortstops are sticking around even though you don't really need them. this is playoff baseball

Thread where I'll post uncarded art I've scanned over the years. Volrath, Evincar of Rath by Kev Walker (The Duelist #23)

My favorite pastime is purposefully looking distressed in photos. This 2022 entry remains near the top

*Apologies for work-Andrew* @parker.luckypaper.co hits on an important point in this article, albeit indirectly. Celebrity endoresements, cross-branding, and licensing agreements are built on the notion of "borrowed equity," where it is believed that all parties benefit from the shared experience.

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

At this point, they need to go to turns

It's 9 years later, so I feel safe calling Homesick (and the ensuing run by @stormwaltz.net) one of the greatest moments of all time for Magic's story

The #MTGxTMNT set will mark the first time we are able to summon a Catholic creature in Magic

It's a chilly day in October. Remembering Kessig by Adam Paquette for Planechase 2012 #Vorthos

Preordered from my local bookstore today!

Scammers really aren’t sending their best, was this text designed to seduce a 15 year old in 2002?

desperately wish I had had this article to read and reference 10 or so years ago, but glad to have it now

What a damn good MagicCon

It's fucking humiddddd

I'm under the dragon for a game, come get booklets

Mull or keep

ME: yeah could i get the impossible burger with cheese. THE VIZIER WHO'S BEEN ADVISING ME: ahh, an excellent choice sire. an imitation of the genuine article. there are some "friends" of yours to whom it bears a passing similarity ME: you want anything VIZIER: [chuckles] what i want is of no import
