I don't care what anyone says. This is art.

How big is the Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise Lego set? This big. White Cheddar Cheez-It for scale.

Reasonable Concern: I'm concerned that starting conflicts by removing (capturing/eliminating) leaders of other countries may cause problems globally. I don't think this is a good idea. Typical Online Response: What!? You support tyrants?!

The format, Tiny Leaders Reborn, is responsible for my recent rekindled appreciation for Magic. The built in restrictions of TLR have made me look at cards, both new and old, through a different lense. It's also glorious that the decks are so easy to shuffle.

I love UB, I also like to offer support to those with different tastes. In that vein, here is a picture those with the fear of the Zza can use.

An explanation of why I almost exclusively make satire/joke bait-like content on TikTok now. Context: I've been making daily content on TikTok for roughly 3 years now. Most of what I make has been light-hearted, funny, but truthful opinion content about Magic. Fast forward to the last 6 months.

A lot of people are expressing how much they dislike Universes Beyond, which is okay, you do not need to like it! I made this handy flow chart to help handle the influx of Universes Beyond sets in Magic: the Gathering. Be willing to disengage from hobbies that you no longer enjoy.

Some sketchy dude behind my local CVS was selling TMNT MTG commander decks out of his trunk. Did I get ripped off?

Anyone have any removal on hand? I could really benefit from removing this one from the board.

Are you running this in your WUBRG decks?

I see him more now than I did when he was alive. I rate the experience 0/10.

Magic The Gathering Universes Beyond: Canadian Olympic Curling

MTG TikToker: Why can't we ignore politics and just play magic? Me: Probably because one party wants my friends and loved ones to suffer or cease to exist. But yeah, card games.

The Harry Potter X Magic speculation floating around is a fantastic gift in disguise. The hateful pieces of garbage can't help but gleefully reveal themselves in the comments of videos and posts. Time to get that blocking finger limber.

Them: How do you keep your mental health in check? Me:

I'm still batting 1000 with playing paper Magic every day of 2026.

UNIVERSES BEYOND MAGIC X CREED

I'm so defeated. Why do I know in my heart that when/if the current administration loses control, the new administration will call for unity and forgiveness, read: no accountability.

Packs or Singles? A primitive data dive: Dataset: Non-Foil, Non-Showcase, Base Set, Standard Legal cards from Lorwyn Eclipsed. Collector Numbers 1-273. All rarities included, split into value ranges. Pricing: TCGPlayer Market Value as of 01/24/2026 Conclusion in the comments.

I have played paper Magic every day so far this year. With the world on fire, this is what is keeping me tethered to sanity.

14 years ago today was my last day as a high school math teacher. I still have nightmares every Fall. They typically continue until late Winter. I'm beyond glad that I took that first/last step that day.

Why does a Vorthos love the new Magic set? Because it's a Lore-Win.

My Snapple cap told me bamboo can grow 3 feet a day. Bamboo's shoe budget must be through the roof.

As a father, there are not many entries lower on the list of people I would want to hear from after the untimely death of my child than him.

I don't know what Vivi and Fblthp are up to. But, they better save me a seat at the table.

9 for 9 on playing paper Magic every day in 2026. Tonight's format: Pack Battle

I remember how it felt to tap a land for the first time. It was a plains. What was the first land you ever tapped?

8 for 8 on days in 2026 playing paper Magic. Today's game brought to you by PDH Kheru Goldkeeper.

I am 3 for 3 with days in 2026 playing paper MTG. Let's f'ing go!!!!

Dear Magic Players, Please have fair expectations for our return to Lorwyn. Be excited for and open to the new things it has to offer. Make room in your heart for this set and don't let nostalgia prevent you from enjoying it. Don't compare the two, but look at them as extensions of eachother.

Be safe, have fun. See you next year.

I would not be upset at all to see this hit the battlefield under my opponent's control.

You ever just feel like the thing on the Legends card Undertow?

Hey fellow magic players. I have been posting a series over on TikTok every Mon-Fri since late September where I start by saying a Great Card is bad, and suggest a much worse card. I start each post with: "As a professional magic player..." I am NOT a professional magic player. Check it out.

Play these cards together. #magicthegathering

We finally hung this up, after having it for nearly a year. That grass is looking at bit lush for post-apocalyptic California.

This Season, As You See Everyone Posting Happy Videos Telling You How It's The Happiest Time Of The Year You May Begin To Ask: Why Am I Depressed? Please Know You Are Not Alone. Many People Struggle With Depression. Reach Out If You Need Help. The World Is Better With You In It. See You Tomorrow.

Dear Dudes who are Magic players. This is a perfect example of how not to act online. Don't do this shit unless you want to air out your whole ass and announce that you are super fragile:

Half-Truths are NOT Whole-Lies.

My father passed away. Him being gone isn't a problem. If anything, it's a net positive. The things happening between those of us still alive on the other hand... I could certainly do without that shit.

Magic The Gathering dad joke anyone? Share with a Magic Friend who might need something silly in their day. ❤️ #magicthegathering

When strangers online use family-adjacent terms with me, I like to lean into it. Bro: By the way, how's mum? Unc: Dear Niece or Nephew.

I like to analyze parts of my body as if I'm looking at a new species. It gives me a feeling of awe for something I typically take for granted. Today's subject, my partially conjoined toes. TW: FEET

Comment thread on a TikTok video where I review comments left on my "As a Professional Magic Player" videos. Context: I start the videos with "As a professional Magic player" and then proceed to provide objectively terrible play advice.

I think the most concerning part of this is that no one is pointing out the obvious theft of that piece of tape. Where is the original piece of paper!? On the ground somewhere?! What if somebody slips on it!?

Leaving the fair.

At the fair.
