Late-night thought: I hadn't thought about it before, but the moment that I fell in love with Magic involved an unsummon effect. It was Makihito Mihara's Repeal recalculation, miscounting his mana with a storm deck, figuring his outs in real time, and not giving up despite audience and pressure.

Cast yourself as the villain

I wish I didn't have to announce this:

Random thought: I think a Star Wars Pre-Prequel series would be cool. I'd like to see more about Sifo-Dyas, Darth Plagueis, Count Dooku, Qui-Gon Jinn, & more. The fall of Dooku, betrayal of Plagueis, manipulation of Sifo-Dyas's visions...even the origin of the Skywalker prophecy would all be cool.

Hey #edh: What are your decks with the weirdest mana curves? Why are they like that? For me, Dromar Dragons looks weird, but has a lot of Omens/Adventures for early interaction. I also have Kaza Free/Reduced Spells and Brinelin snowballing 6+ drops.

Trans rights are human rights. If we cannot protect the rights of the most vulnerable population of society, not a single one of us has rights.

love to my trans friends. fuck SCOTUS.

The Skull Symbol is dead. Long live the Skull Symbol!

So proud of the community for rallying and rebuilding the Skull Symbol. Special thanks to @eldercleric.bsky.social, @seraphsix.com, and Harlegwyn for doing a yeoman's job and lifting me out of the doldrums. Y'all are best!

The @arsenalmtg.bsky.social Discord server is dead, with the hacking of my (Coach J Ro)'s google and discord accounts. A new one will be made, but may take some time. In the meantime, my new Discord account is un5umm0ned5kull

The good news: I have access to this account The bad news: Struggling to replace the verification email

RIP Ron Spears What's your favorite Ron Spears card?

Whatever I do to be important, I guess I'm doing it well 😅 10 away from 2K!

For the morning crowd:

Update: my balance was impacted by fees that I didn’t even know I had and now the balance is at -$57, which puts me firmly in overdraft fee territory. I am in need of any and all assistance you may have to give. It’ll probably be higher soon. This sucks.

Hey #edh: What do you know me for? What do I do that's important?

If you’re in a position where you can help, the link is below: PayPal.me/lilkalki I seriously hate asking. But I sometimes need to swallow that pride. I’ve been trying not to. I know when to say when, though, and it’s been tough but yeah. Thanks.

Haircut! Don't mind my ugly mug.

Today is a good day to celebrate and support Black creators! If you are a Black creator, especially in the nerd space, please consider posting what you do below and also how we can buy it or support it, if possible!

Juneteenth seems an appropriate day to celebrate heroes, especially a build where they work together and support each other. Check out my latest article, about assembling a super team of diverse Heroes who care about and support each other: edhrec.com/articles/bui...

Explain your @ I'm a teacher and wanted to come up with an alias to protect my identity. Summoned Skull represents YuGiOh, the first time I felt accepted by a gaming community. Unsummon was a key card for teaching my Games Club players about the concept of tempo. Accepting others+teaching=me

Copying something someone made on UE6:

BTW I am proud to say that I have more decks with Erratic Portal in them than Sol Ring in them.

Hey #edh: What's a commander deck you've built around a card that wasn't your commander? One of my favorites is my Krile Baldesion Azorius Wizards deck, called "Expanding Force", which was built around Azorius Aethermage!

Made some adjustments to Azorius Wizards (on the left) and Rakka Mar Flamekin (on the right):

Late-night thought: "...we can literally win games with Steve Rogers’s butt implants." Is a sentence I just wrote for an article.

Gotta love karma doing what the courts won't.

How I feel seeing the name removed from the Kennedy Center: (translated: "Tell my son...I want him to know what time his father died." "No; he won't even know your name.")

Watching the @edhrecast.bsky.social episode about bizarre mana curves and sifting my decks, which I didn't consciously build on a mana curve... They are STAGGERINGLY normal. Weird thing to say.

Biting the bullet and teaching myself rudimentary video editing so I can finally make use of my gigantic pile of stream vods 😅

Group chat, in theory: Awesome! I'm involved in something and people actually wanted me in it! Group chat, in reality: Mumble grumble all these notifications 😅 JK Please invite me to group chats!

Got 2 spots available after a cancellation! Any style available! I've been painting my butt of lately and I wanna make more cool stuff! DMs open!

Finally got around to making a Starter Pack for the awesome members of the @arsenalmtg.bsky.social Rules Committee! Check out these awesome folks! go.bsky.app/FL7jBus

Hey #edh: What makes a game memorable to you?

Nearing 2K! For having completely restarted my following from Twitter/X, I'm damn proud of getting back to about half of what I had on there. I've said before that having a following feels like a superpower because I can use it to amplify voices that need it, and I stand by it. Thanks!

‼️ HALT ‼️ 🛑 STARTER ✋ PACK 🚨 INSPECTION I need 9 more cool people to follow to make it to 1k followed! Post your favorite starter packs, and be sure to include ones you’ve made. Here’s mine: go.bsky.app/45GN8mv

Hey, #edh: What does Kurt, Pitlord look like? Kurt Cobain Kurt Vonnegut Kurt Russell Kurt Warner None of the Above

WOTC, deciding the setting for their next UB set:

Not completely abandoning the Pokemon type trios, but I think I might go back to the Typal bounce decks for a bit. I feel like making 12 decks that embrace both of the things I'm known for, content-wise, is a bigger accomplishment than I thought and I should probably be prouder of it.
