Hey, random question, but does anyone know of a list of every dish cooked on the TV show The Bear? I want to know for normal, MTG-related reasons

I know defender isn't the flashiest keyword, but woof

Been toying with this little turd in brawl on Arena. Could be fun B4 commander in paper though, I think. moxfield.com/decks/o8mglA...

I'm not a YuGiOh guy, but I've seen some Cimo videos where he was interacting with MTG and Hearthstone folks I've followed. Genuinely saddened to see someone who seemed like a real positive force in his community go.

Hehehe. Drafted Hate-Berzattos again as a four pod. Ended up with a 1st place Golgari Foods deck, 2nd place Orzhov (but mostly W) Stax (me), 3rd place Izzet Affinity, 4th place Gruul Madness. Great night!

We read everything, baby!

Did 2 Arena Cube drafts so far. 5-3 on an Azorius artifact aggro deck built around candelabra + academy. 1-3 on a Naya Lands deck built around Zuran + Crucible + Fastbond. Lesson learned, tempo matters!

New submission guidelines just dropped :) Let us read your work :) :) :)

Didn't have a chance to post this the other day, but I really loved the convo re: poetry & cube from @ryanoverdrive.bsky.social and Jane on this week's 180MTG. As someone who straddles the line between indie lit writer and Magic player, it was very cool seeing these interests align!

I know that Ranked Brawl is something that many players are excited for, and I want that format to be as fun as possible for everyone to engage in! Here are my notes on Brawl format management, including suggested bans, rebalances, and cards to monitor: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Still tuning, but I'm back to playing 5c Sliver Aggro

I love this dumb card. Perfect encapsulation of casual vs competitive.

Shuffling Hate Berzattos and came up with this fun pack 1 pick 1

We’d like to kick off this week with a series debunking some common union myths. These myths are spread to try and scare you away from your right to organize with your fellow workers, and the biggest antidote for those fears? Facts.

“We don’t care! Stop thinking so much! Stop engaging with our products as the result of artistic design and craft! We make products, okay? Not art. Products! Stop looking at and talking about our ‘art’ and just buy our fucking products!”

This is one of the ones I'm prouder of writing so far!

Weird quirk I just came across linguistically. Magic players often use the word "errata" as a verb in casual speech, and often in the past tense. But "errata" as a verb doesn't seem to exist much in writing, so "errata'd" or "errataed" doesn't seem to have a standardized spelling. Weird.

Fleem on

If you want there to be a Magic Community, you got to be building something run by & for the people who make & play this game. Like adding your name to UWOTC's open letter, demanding that Wizards recognise the union & stops trying to scare workers into submission. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcl...

Uh, just got some very cool news!

RIP Fleem

Some people might wonder, why did we decide to unionize at Magic the Gathering: Arena? Our union started because those of us working on MTGA were frustrated with our working conditions, and like many of you might do with your co-workers, we talked to each other about it. #uwotc-cwa

I've been thinking about this deck all day. Goldfished a couple times last night and the Sagus felt really, really good.

Anyone know if the play at tube with the square caps is discontinued from UltraPro. Got one a few months back and have been looking for more and struggling.

Lack of changes to standard does reinforce the feeling that maybe it's time for me to just dump it for pauper and cube fully

Updated all my mechanics posts on Substack to have the art crop instead of the full card as the thumbnail so the social media cards aren't messed up. It looks so much better now!

Chat, this card is really funny:

I've been shopping an essay about Time Stop for a minute. Probably would need to retool it a little for an audience that has played Magic before, but man this would be a cool landing spot!

So you thought, with your MTG Arena employees unionizing and your company trying to bust their union, that the best thing to do was to post a meme about how you overwork them? This is beyond parody.

New post going live later tonight. Delayed by mother's day

3-0 on a Grixis Tinker/Grinding Station sacrifice combo deck. Gross stuff!

Thursday night cube deck. Sitting on 1-0 at the moment:

Sheltered by Ghosts is a fair, but deeply evil Magic card

Do I need to slot Gray Merchant in here somewhere now???

Anyone know if the play at tube with the square caps is discontinued from UltraPro. Got one a few months back and have been looking for more and struggling.

WotC declined to voluntarily recognize our union by Friday, May 1st. While we're disappointed in this delay, together we remain strong in our convictions. We look forward to sitting down at the bargaining table so we can make Arena better for workers, for Wizards, and for our players. #UWOTC-CWA

I might have entered Hell Queue from trying to play Oops too many times on Timeless. Oops

Just opened up a bunch of packages from my week-old ManaPool order. A bit disappointed to find UB versions of cards that I didn't think I ordered UB versions of. I think the whole UB thing just makes me tired at this point...

Really funny that the allied color pairs are the evil school and the enemy color pairs are the good achool

Reality Fracture. The last several years of Magic have been building to this moment, and today we peel back the curtain on what awaits you in the Echoverse. #MTGFracture

Working on a list for a desert cube right now and probably added like 100 potential cards last night. Having MDFC's in the mix makes it really easy to build draftable pools

I've had this Ken Baumann piece on tab in the back of my computer for a couple days, and damn, is it so reassuring to read. I hope it'll brighten your day like it brightened mine. kenbaumann.substack.com/p/education

Your voice really matters right now. If you would like show your support, join us in requesting that Wizards and Hasbro voluntarily recognize our union by signing our petition at cwa.org/uwotcletter

I've been looking at building a control element into my selesnya pauper deck and it's really strange that there really aren't any good W-board wipes? That's usually the color I think when I think sweepers.

When you're eepy but the new build of your pauper deck isn't going to play itself at the LGS tonight

Y'know, as someone who skips all UB sets, SOS is a little disappointing to me. It's not bad, it's just the inevitable down set after so many bangers in a row. Probably my least favorite since DSK? But even that one grew on me over time. Maybe MKM?
