You want me to get excited about a #MTGMarvel article? Make Mine Mechanics. I wrote about the new and returning mechanics in the newest Marvel extravaganza here: magic.wizards.com/en/news/feat... #WotCstaff

I’m pretty happy I was allowed to get away with the reminder text on A Chaotic Night in Vegas. #WotCstaff

They said the Vegas Golden Knights were unlikely to be Western Conference Champions. Well our friends at Fanatics have found an even unlikelier scenario. #ForgedinGold

Leonard Williams is awesome and a good example of how you shouldn’t judge people only by the unfortunate professional football team they play for. youtu.be/TRkEuLAG95Y?...

If you can prove to me that there's a game in progress waiting on your rules question getting answered, your chances of an answer go way up. #WotCstaff

This is, as they say, a mood. #WotCstaff

Working on a new deck. #ForgedinGold #StanleyCup

I was standing behind Mark for a bit while he was working on this. I'm not saying there was giggling, but I'm not *not* saying that either. #MTGxMarvel #WotCstaff

Very late to this party, but I finally got around to watching Heels. Absolutely loved the show, and I’m sad they won’t get the chance to wrap up the story.

I have made noises. #ForgedinGold #VegasBorn

Come meet Mark, play games, be moody.

Not to get too personal with you all, but tonight is my first shower after surgery and I'm really excited. Then tomorrow is my first PT appointment after surgery and I'm really not.

The Marvel Universe comes to MTG Arena. #MTGxMarvel mtg.social/MSHArena

Today’s big adventure was putting on a t-shirt. Today’s big adventure was a big mistake.

I’m supposed to be taking some time off post-op, and we’ll see where things are in a few days, but I feel I could write some phenomenal reminder text right now.

As they were wheeling me out to the car after my surgery yesterday, I told all the staff thank you and see you next time. Also, I'm smashing that like and subscribe button. Most laughed. A few seemed horrified.

Brain: Arm, do something. Arm: … Brain: Arm, move a little bit. Arm: … Brain: Arm? Arm: … Nerve blocks, amirite?

She did great. Everyone did great. I mostly laid there and whined.

Headed to the hospital for a small procedure to get my shoulder working better. Hoping my anesthesiologist has a great day.

If you’ve ever seen me, you probably know that I am not a lifelong or avid gymthusiast, so my recent attempt at fitness has included some revelations. Me: One 15-minute session, please. Elliptical: Certainly, sir. Elliptical: And your 5-minute cooldown bonus time. Me, gasping for air: What?!

Imagine we were bringing back the concept of the mana pool (we're not), but we wanted to modernize the metaphor. Where would you store your floating mana these days? #WotCstaff

We've been doing this for about eight years now, and my height advantage continues to get smaller. I do not approve.

Recently joined a gym, and the people who work there are relentlessly positive, upbeat, and not quite prepared for my level of sarcasm. I might bring in doughnuts next time as an apology.

Had a dream about being at #MagicCon and running into coworkers whose names I didn't remember. Now that I'm awake, I don't know if they were people I made up or real coworkers whose names I don't remember.

A deck can have any number of cards named Hare Apparent. (Most have zero.) #WotCstaff

Happy Mother’s Day, no matter how nontraditional your motherhood may be.

Happy Mario Day to everyone with just okay penmanship.

The fourth card in this sequence is Forgotten Ancient. The sequence is the four cards created by the "You Make the Card" promotion run on the Wizards site, going back through time starting with the most recent and ending on the first one. Spiritmonger was a predecessor to this promotion. #ManaBonds

What comes fourth in this sequence? Card 1: Waste Not Card 2: Vanish into Memory Card 3: Crucible of Worlds Answer: Coming next! #ManaBonds

What comes fourth in this sequence? Card 1: Waste Not Card 2: Vanish into Memory Card 3: Coming sooner than Card 2 did. (Sorry, got distracted.) #ManaBonds

What comes fourth in this sequence? Card 1: Waste Not Card 2: In about 10 minutes Hint: Sometimes the specific printing I choose to show is relevant. Sometimes it's not. It's mostly not in this case. #ManaBonds

The other type of question I included in the #ManaBonds game was a sequence question. In these questions, the four cards form a logical sequence. You see the first three cards in that sequence, one at a time, and you have to determine what comes fourth. Often there is a range of possible answers...

My cats have figured out that suitcases on the bed probably means we're disappearing for a few days, and this is sad. They have not picked up on the nuance that suitcases on the bed could also just mean that we're unpacking, and this is less sad.

Answer: Each of these four cards includes the name of anther crd gme, issing a lettr. The other four games are Gwent, Fluxx, Lorcana, and Hearthstone. How many clues did you need? See you tomorrow for our first sequence question. #ManaBonds

Card 1: Gwen Stacy Card 2: Essence Flux Card 3: Lorcan, Warlock Collector Card 4: Heartstone Answer soon, because who wants to wait until tomorrow? #ManaBonds

Card 1: Gwen Stacy Card 2: Essence Flux Card 3: Lorcan, Warlock Collector Card 4: In about 10 minutes #ManaBonds

Card 1: Gwen Stacy Card 2: Essence Flux Card 3: In about 10 minutes #ManaBonds

Let's try another #ManaBonds. I'll show you four cards, one at a time. You tell me what very specific thing they have in common. The earlier you get the answer, the more theoretical points you score. Card 1: Gwen Stacy Card 2: Coming in about 10 minutes.

All four cards served as inspirations for Future Sight "Magus of the ___" cards. In the actual game, two teams got it after only one clue, scoring the max. Congrats to everyone who figured it out! I'll have another question some time tomorrow. #ManaBonds

What do these four cards have in common? Card 1 is Moat. Card 2 is The Abyss. Card 3 is Eladamri's Vineyard. Card 4 is Future Sight. The answer is coming at 4:40 Pacific. (I don't know, if this becomes a regular thing, maybe I'll do answers the next day or something.) #ManaBonds

What do these four cards have in common? Card 1 is Moat. Card 2 is The Abyss. Card 3 is Eladamri's Vineyard. Card 4 is coming at 4:20 Pacific. #ManaBonds

What do these four cards have in common? Card 1 is Moat. Card 2 is The Abyss. #ManaBonds

One game I presented at #MCVegas was Mana Bonds, described as "a game where you must discover the commonalities between Magic cards and other bits of Magic-related information that is certainly unlike any other connection-based game or TV program you may have previously encountered."

My body: Drinking water constantly during MagicCon was a great idea. Time to put the water bottle away until… Also my body: Uh, you could drink water all the time? Body: Farewell, water bottle. Enjoy this shelf. The next con is only… Body, crumbling to dust: No, you had the answer! Just…

Touchdown, Seattle. (It’s not football season; it’s fine.) MagicCon is the best week. Special shoutout to all the folks in the Black Lotus Lounge. Good chats all weekend, and I’m so gratified you like the games and formats I helped cook up for you. Until next time. #WotCstaff

I first played Mood Swings about 15 years ago, and then became more involved as it became more and more real. Was thrilled to contribute in some small way. And now you all get to see it this summer! #WotCstaff

Leaving Las Vegas is playing at the airport. Not sure if lucky or if they just have it going on a loop now. #MCVegas ➡️ Home

Been a jam-packed #MCVegas so far, and the hits just keep on coming. Looking forward to some Strixhaven drafts today and maybe another visit to the Cat Lair…

We’re cruising through hour 5 of the Grand Melee event. The Accelerators have begun. First up: Howling Mine. “Do I love you all any less? No. Do I want to love you from a greater distance? Starting to.” #MCVegas #WotCstaff

Said chaos.
