I do not think it’s smart for the long term to imply that being Pro UB is progressive and anti UB is exclusionary. Massive oversimplification of a complex issue and one that paves the way for people mistaking consumerism for political engagement

Designed my own Jaws because why not? "Shark smells blood" was a fine take but I wanted something that felt more evocative of the movie. Both an homage to the slow burn of the Jaws theme and a mechanical homage to the fact that everybody would've been fine if they just stayed out of the damn water

It's simple, just kill Alchemy, move its budget into digital universes within sets for each UB, eventually print a masters set of the big hits, effectively silence most of the loudest UB critics

The way my feelings on UB would change if we had more of these sets

Product fatigue stuff doesn't really phase me and the scalping stuff doesn't effect me too much but I am genuinely sad at what's been done to Standard in all this

I don’t need WotC to stop catering to big spenders, I’m fine with collector boosters being expensive, but I’d just ask them to look at what products are supposed to be accessible on ramps for new players and then print those products into the ground

If a sitcom wants to run more than four seasons, one character has to become borderline magical and another has to become so dumb they couldn’t survive on their own

Gonna be parting with some Magic-adjacent stuff over the next few weeks as we make the move across the country and I downsize my collection a bit! Prices are marked and DMs are open for offers. RTs for visibility to other Magic folks would be appreciated!

Lmao finally, a commander that breaks Secret Partners. “Are you my ally? Prove it”

I’d kept my cat lair sealed for nearly two years and today decided I wanted a second copy of this Descendants’ Path and hoo boy what a surprise!

Kept EDH data for a year! Game count was 123, win count was 37! If I were doing this again, I'd track less info about opponents (largely useless) and more about turn count and stuff. Unfortunately I will not be doing this again as it feels like homework!!

Just in time for your year-end music lists, @arsenaultrivera.bsky.social and my follow up to last year's Pop Girlies episode has become available to the public! Come learn Sabrina Carpenter's color identity!

It's that time of year.

This is neat!

Spread was immaculate tonight

Did this last year…how does it hold up?

Specifying every ingredient’s origin but the milk…coward behavior

Never fun to time out for your first two turns but probably VERY not fun to come back to this board lol

Hey gang, since the algo here doesn't seem to punish you as much for speaking outside your niche, I'll be mostly posting on @dansheehan.bsky.social. I'll post new episodes of the pod and stuff here but otherwise plan to keep it all to a single account for as long as that works
