Sorry for the cussin earlier. It will never happen again 💜💜💜

The tension between personality and field of study of Strixhaven’s has bugged me a bit and I couldn’t explain why. Thankfully, this article helps tease out that tension Stop reading what I’m saying and read this article instead! Your brain will thank you! 💜💜💜

Ryan does an incredible job here of studiously (unsurprisingly, as he’s Ryan) analyzing how Strixhaven blurs the line by dividing students by discipline & personality. I couldn’t explain why I, an English major and logophile, bounce off Silverquill until he did. Mandatory for yr Strixhaven syllabus!

I think the next print Magic book should be a sort of “meet the parents” style comedy where Itzquinth and Blech get engaged and have to meet each other’s parents leading to culture clash which is a theme in the Omenpaths arc (and Phelddagrif shows up too) 💜💜💜 This could also be the Netflix series

Some neat mysteries inside these Magic cards when you open them up 💜💜💜

✨ ✨ ✨ You will now feel compelled to read Omens of Chaos O00Oooooo ✨✨✨ #mtgart

Following the absolutely stellar debut of GiGi Wellplayed on the Spell Slayers last month, the staff at The Herald has worked tirelessly, day and night and afternoon, to try and come up with a drag name as good as that.

Here is one of the many articles that covered the closure of the Syracuse office.

The best time to pick up Omens was two days ago, the second best was yesterday, BUT THE CURRENT BEST IS NOW

Four days remain before the release of OMENS OF CHAOS! Four reasons to pre-order the book: 1. It will make me smile. 2. It increases the chances of more print Magic fiction. 3. Pretty promo Command Tower. 4. If we hit the NYT list, I get to hit @grayhaem.bsky.social with a pie.

Do you have something you would like to donate to the prize raffle? Please comment below or shoot me a DM either here or discord and we can set something up. I'd love any and all help on making this be as successful as possible! Reposts for visibility appreciated.

“We were initially concerned that Generative AI could be used to create similar crossovers, even with characters outside our control. Luckily we saw the product Sora was putting out, and knew it was only a matter of time.”
