Arc Reactor and Doctor Doom seem like really good fits for Mono Black Ugin decks in Standard. This deck is sure to frustrate your opponents on the MTG Arena ladder. youtu.be/M42K3yiuvlQ

Ok, taking notes on this brew for Squirrel Girl.

Seen Namor see play in Izzet spellslinger decks....huh, that a surprising...and at the same time not so surprising development. (The day Stormchaser leaves standard will be celebrated by some players)

Afternoon reminder that the first tech of the season is out, and it's a Galactus triple-tech! Streaming some jank tonight at 8pm, come chill! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY-b...

Tempo Doomsday being back is fantastic

I say and I say this again I find Fantasticar doing well in Doomsday absolutely hilarious.

I will say, I have been enjoying the Marvel Jumpstart event in the arena. Fun set overall the jumpstart one.

Hmm, set released, no secret lair news or new spoilers....can use this week to enjoy the set.... ... .. knock on wood.

Standard Challenge Top 8 decklists for Wed, June 24 (34 players) #mtg #mtgStandard Selesnya Offense and Jeskai Black split the final!🦡🙅🏆 Jeskai Black also gets 3rd🙅 Dimir Excruciator finished 4th⏳ Jeskai Lessons takes 5th👩‍🏫 Jeskai Artifacts at 6th🤖 Mardu Discard in 7th🗑️ Izzet Prowess gets 8th🥋

When you make the realization one of the reason for the cards from Marvel Superheroes that copy legendary creatures/artfacts...is becuase the fact the set has a high amount of legendary creatures over non legendary creatures.

There are a lot of amazing, talented Creators who make me happy who should be bigger than they are. Who are some who are doing creative Magic deckbuilding and theory?! I personal heart @girldickenergy.bsky.social. Fae gets it. We have a lot of similar likes & playstyle.

#SpotlightMarvel Vegas is almost here! This weekend, our limited team trios will battle their way to winning their own matching set of Infinity Gauntlets. Who will rule? We shall see! 👊 mtg.social/SpotlightMSH#SpotlightMarvel

It's been a hot minute since I last wrote something here I had some extended thoughts on how we took a wrong turn after one of the [worst/best] products in recent times www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2026/06/stor...

A Planeswalker's Heart

While I am still trying to figure out B&R prediction for next week...from hearing every legacy bloke...it sounds like this might be a pontential consideration...that or at least be restricted.

So many iconic pieces from Ron Spears over the years, many of which I grew up with when I first got into Magic. Rest in Power and Paradise, Ron.

2 Days until we are done! I am so proud of this project and thank you everyone who has shared and hyped it. I appreciate all the support that people have been able to give. We are up to 54 physical calendars sold so far! I would love to get that rookie number up www.kickstarter.com/projects/831...

50% Squirrel. 50% Girl. All nuts. youtu.be/gDOR8xMZhrc

Just a reminder to all our mutual friends, our buddy @unsummonedskull.bsky.social is discord hacked. Do not reply or open links until the situation is confirmed to be corrected. If you have to remove his account from your server, understandable, but set a reminder to check in on him in a month!

Thor, god of Thunder works perfectly in this big red Axonil damage deck in Standard. It kept finding different ways to win, mostly in a single turn on MTG Arena. youtu.be/diT4RnNKarw

Oh yeah it's a neat 4 in one card. Also saw that @dork4short.bsky.social had made a short on it. youtube.com/shorts/Ed-54...

After playing a back to back jumpstart pack with it in the arena....I will say, this card is pretty fun.

Also for the love of god DO NOT CLICK THE LINK HE SENDS

Heads up: If you're getting random DMs from @unsummonedskull.bsky.social on Discord or Twitter, the accounts are compromised. Please do not respond until he has a way to get his accounts back. If he is a member of your Discord server or a server you mod, simply kick his account for now to mitigate.

Note to self make (flcl, lain, and Clamp type) anime girl flash sheet alters of playable cards to afford all these cons I'm aspiring towards for the next six months

It's with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of iconic artist, Ron Spears. With a flair for the fantastic, Spears's illustrations have transported players to planes across the Multiverse for over 20 years🌻magic.wizards.com/en/news/feat...

Between Dungeon Crawler Carl and The Amazing Digital Circus we've got two sleeper hits based around people being ground under the heel of capitalism powered by AI, and I dunno maybe the kids are trying to tell us something.

Today would be a good day to make Goblin King a Noble. #mtg @magic.wizards.com @mtgdad.bsky.social

Bluesky banning Bugs Matrix is a fucking joke. Bugs is one of the pillars of this goddamned website, and this is bullshit

The Fantasticar is going to be a problem. 5-0 10-0 🏆

THEY GOT BUGS. AGAIN. #freethebugs

Phage and Akroma are cards many will go to when they think of Ron Spears, but for me, I think about this Exotic Orchard from Bloomburrow. The perspective, the color, the astonished expression of the little mouse. It has everything you could want on a Magic card, and yet, you still wanted more.

A singer 600e from the late 60s. My sister expressed interest in learning to sew. I have been keeping an eye out for work horse machines at thrift stores. This has a lot of the modern functions with all steel construction and more for $35! Just need to buy a new power cord and clean/grease her.

I do a pretty wide variety of styles. My sketches and simple texture alters generally take half an hour to an hour. Ink drawing more like 1-2 hours? Digital drawing usually take somewhere around 4 hours? Wider range there. Alters vary wildly, but more than the others.

Using those same 2 costumes as examples, in BRL, and counting materials ONLY (so no equipment), my Sinclair was somewhere around 3k and my Jinshi was somewhere around 1k. But beyond specific project stuff, over the past few years I dropped probably 4k on equipment

To #4: extremely dependent on the character. I make all my stuff completely from scratch, my Jinshi took a month while my Sinclair took a year and a half. Cost is complicated because I own a lot of expensive equipment, and each project has different requirements for that. (+)
