This song feels incredibly relevant today.

Day 4 of the flu, all I want is a beer and a cigar, instead I’m drinking… a Diet Coke as a treat and laying on the couch

Buy tickets so Triske can play slay 2 pls

I had a close friend betray me and the PM community we shared for over a year. I don’t know how to process all these feelings right now, but if folks can drop some memes or send their best I’d really appreciate it. I tried to reach out and get his answers and came up cold.

#My9MTGCards A few of these would churn but 5-7 solid for sure.

fuck dude im so fucking cool "im playing pokemon leaf on my switch 2!" "im playing god of war ragnarok on my playstation 5!" bitch im playing BLACK OPS 1. ON THE WII. SHUT THE FUCK UP

5 Runs into Slay 2, initial thoughts: -It's definitely a "First game but more" sequel in single player mode, but definitely worth price of admission for a new slate of enemies, elites, and bosses. -Cardpool takes a lot from the original for the main 3 characters, two new characters seem busted.

This sick day kinda rocks aside from the being sick part.

Got wife approval and checked the bank account lfgggggggg

Realllllly hoping I can bcp this year, has the best event vibes this side of lobstercon.

Didn’t plan on being sick today but I could’ve picked worse days!

*massive magic convention with thousands of people and vendors: “meh...” *some 200-500 person thing with two backpack vendors, one magic artist from the 90s, and a cash bar in some weird ass building: ”now this is what I’m fucking talking about”

Major fever, likely flu from all the travel, cancelled all my fun this week to try and heal. Any fun bullshit phone games or Mindless sitcom recs appreciated

#boomermagic has brought me more joy than any other period of me playing magic.

but of course this is just because im a boomer who doesn't play Standard and plays way less limited than I wish I did so here I am existing in bliss

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

Ive long said that “when there is a way for me to support a rebirth of magic written content from more than a single author, I’ll get out my checkbook”. @cascadecascade.com, here is my checkbook (metaphorically). (Also put in the wrong shipping address if someone can help with that pls)

Travel is exhausting, but glad this last leg has been with my favorite person. 6 hour drive is all I have left before a catchup-filled workweek.

#mtgPauper announcement tomorrow. biggest thing I’ve ever done. stay tuned. @fireshoes.bsky.social @emmapartlow.com @themaverickgirl.bsky.social @nerdtothecore.com

Found my old GameCube, Wii, and Wii U as well as three working GameCube controllers (one wired two wavebird) and all my old guitar hero peripherals! Gonna have a sick basement-that-looks-like-the-late-2000s setup.

*when someone tells me they don’t like the smell of cigar smoke and no one asked them

Personally, I think UB should be made only as Secret Lair and Commander Precon products.

Today was compelling and unexpected. My great friend @darthpinkhippo.bsky.social and her partner Lauren are so lovely.

we can't be precious about magic's future when every single decision nowadays is rooted in the collective past of an aging demographic

Flowers and art date :)

Limited podcaster to progressive politician pipeline be like

I’ve never been more excited for a piece of magic writing.

Asked my wife if I could go to Boston cube party and C4AC summer this year. She said she wasn’t delusional enough to think I’d actually cut back, but that maybe I was and didn’t know I was going to them this year. she said she hoped I have a good time and no worries. 😅😭

Howdy, gamers. 👋 Emma here, and I'm here to bring you some exciting news about CubeCon 2026! There's a lot to go through today, so let's dive in! 👀 #CubeCon2026 #MTGCube

Very based article from Parker.

Last post we're makin' about it: This coming Friday is the cut-off for both the Forgetful Pixels playmat AND the Rhystic Studies Big-Ass Dragon tee. Get 'em here: stitcherssupply.com

Im so demoralized, i just have to laugh at this point. Ive not had a leg of travel after i landed in New York without problems.

Starting to think Im not built for travel. Not that I won’t travel, but that the wear of planes, trains, and automobiles need to be strongly justified. Time with family, seeing magic friends, and attending special events *may* meet that cost, but I think I’ve underestimated how frayed I come home.

As of now, still stuck in WV. Likely not getting back to Madison tonight. I am so tired.

Convinced two coworkers to cube with me because our flights were delayed to hell.

Much like the war on drugs, in the war on proxies, proxies have won. Eternal format locals across the world now permit proxies. Premodern, Cube, and Old School (outside the scandinavian countries) broadly allow proxies.

Been on the road for 8 days, gonna be back in Madison for 16 hours only to jump back on the road. Grateful for a fun adventure that didn’t require more than 4ish vacation days, but Christ I am tired.

TREVA'S FUCKING RUINSSSSS (COUNTERSPELL IS THE PICK)

Hypehypehypehypehype, Parker is probably my favorite active magic author.

I wish I was able to talk with my former right-libertarian self, because I miss something that version of myself had: immense hope that there were solutions that don't involve force to social problems. Unfortunately, I think it's about time the government seizes data centers and shuts them down.

Based, planning on submitting something at some point.

Playing best of two cube with @improphilo.bsky.social, @worklifevalue.bsky.social, and others this weekend has me thinking it should be my default orientation for Thursday nights. Gets people home faster, orients it around fun over competition, and prevents “well I have to wait for the 2-0 match”.

Draft 2 on Saturday was @islandponder.bsky.social’s alternate history vintage cube. Tried to go big early with reanimator but started taking more aggressive cards in pack 2. Some very weird signals in the draft Played against 2 opps w/ multiple pieces of power ea; had to get out the mud w this one

Certified sicko, 1-1 with this oath Bant pile.

R1 punt lost against friend of the Noah, Forrest, in zonal synergy. Good reminder to think “would the attack all button kill them.”

I’m ready (for espresso that will prep me for the cube draft at 10)

ITS TIME

The hat and the cigar. You're driving with the Driving Cuber, baby. anyway live at 10 AM with the greatest cube event in history: @cubeforacause.upkeepnewyork.com ft @scottmirts.upkeepnewyork.com and @andy.luckypaper.co www.twitch.tv/luckypapermtg

Day 0 for C4AC!!!
