I only played one Game 3 this entire RC

watching @pg8.bsky.social play izzet affinity and the casters are like "why tf is there a cactuar in the sideboard??" as if my king of games wouldn't run the lil guy lil friend tech 🙄

10th at the RC. Couldn't draw at 12-2 and got smushed by amulet. It's a great time to never play modern again!

every round is going to +30, the amulet players are doing their part

it's looking like another good day to win a magic tournament

Good luck Houston gamers, y'all better get Amulet banned for me

I was bored so I wrote a thing. It's very stream of consciousness and maybe not that good content idk. Also I'm having some technical difficulties updating my website so I instead copied it to a gdoc for now. Much jank, have fun. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I don't really buy the zero sum comp/casual nonsense; the words written in the text boxes these days are completely fine. Magic isn't worse because of Commander, it's worse because there are twice as many cards and they all cost twice as much and half of them are a shitty reference to a TV show.

Here it is: 18K words on how to win with Sanctum Amulet at upcoming RCs. It's the best deck to play in modern - even if you're just okay at it. Put a ton of work into this one, so it's $15 or a $5 sub (comes with all my other articles). @fireshoes.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/140190...

Does anyone know of any places to print custom playmats that AREN'T Inked? Trying to get some more of the Did You Have Fun mats but Inked turned to absolute shit since the last time I used them.

still hate this little shit btw

Nah man a big part of why the UB stuff makes me sad is cause I know it's extremely popular so they're going to keep doing it despite it making the parts of the game I deeply care about worse. Like I know a bunch of people are going to buy the 6th marvel set but that doesn't make my FNM fire.

Respectfully I think something that your argument and many like it miss is that zero sum or not: The "soul" of the game that we so love is being eroded Even if UB works out AND we get a competitive scene again as part of the result, a lot of the "magic" is lost

i do love edge of eternities booster draft though

ok this might be a surprise to everyone but wow i hate Modern

Another 1-2 draft and a nice 9-7 at the PT. Amulet is totally broken why the fuck is this allowed in this format

If you're going to play Amulet Titan, you need to come prepared. Very, very prepared. #PTEOE @pg8.bsky.social

Hi all, I left my tote at the venue yesterday with all of my magic stuff, lost and found don’t have it so if anyone has seen it/found it please reach out! Photos attached but is a raccoon tote with 3 deck boxes inside containing grixis, my draft deck and my promos, appreciated @fireshoes.bsky.social

These are not cards designed for players. These are cards designed for shareholders.

4-4 day one of PTEOE. Pretty sure that qualifies me for worlds????????

Ready to game

I Love Modern

god gamer

split the finals

These are my cool burn cards.

I love Krava of the Swarm he's my favorite commander character I want Guy With Spiders For Feet in paper

it is our obligation as fans to loudly demand that WotC print these cards in paper because we all love (checks notes) Krava of the Swarm so much. He is my new favorite character and I want to use him as my paper commander

I Love Modern

not a rookie's card

I've historically been more pro-ban than most, but I really don't think you need to ban cards when blue/red is the best deck. That's just the game functioning as intended. They left Volcanic Island out of Alpha, and that was your chance to try the other color pairs.

I've been trying to fight the good fight in Standard, but uh, can someone lend me 4 foil Vivi Ornitiers in Orlando next weekend?? 😅 #mtg #SpotlightPlanetary #SCGOrlando

go is solvable morons

Pokemon has a giant ass arena where thousands of people are watching the juniors TCG finals??? we need this at magic worlds ASAP this is sick

Picked this deck box up from @ultimateguard.bsky.social and I was so excited until I flipped it over. Looks like my art was extended with ai. @magic.wizards.com needs to make sure their partners don’t do this. I would have happily extended this for a couple hundred $$. Instead it looks awful!

Most media demands some amount of suspension of disbelief to enjoy in. But what if everything is working against that suspension of disbelief? Can the Magic of the media still be maintained? A few thoughts about wrestling & Magic: www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/07/its-...

Heartworm - the retro, fixed camera survival horror inspired game I have been working on for five years is out NOW on Steam. Please check it out if you're into that sort of thing! And if you enjoy it, leave a review as it really helps! Thank you store.steampowered.com/app/1257030/...

2-2 today. Pretty happy with my list, if I understood the Roots deck better I would have swapped after day 1 but cauldron was still real nice.

me in 2019: oh wow i get to work with my favorite artists this is so cool me now: hey chris rahn have you heard of the card 'mind goblin'

why is there an RC the weekend before PT1 on the opposite side of the continent

i do not like the final fantasy set.

Thinking about it more it's kinda weird that Modern (a competitive format with a Pro Tour coming up) and Legacy (a beloved casual format) both got no changes for the reasons the other one should be using.
