I’ve decided I’m just going to call Matt a Principle Gix Designer from now on.

do you think gamers would be less upset if they replaced yellow paint with a trail of bananas coloured specifically for the character that needs to go in that direction

Little known fact that the Rules Management team doesn’t handle the tournament rules. But we are a fine place for feedback on them! #WotCstaff

Hmm… 🤔

Alright, I'm going to talk about one of my biggest reasons for unionizing on the Arena team. Forced relocation, aka "RTO" (Return to Office), "WFH protections" (Work From Home protections), or more recently "Ways of Working." Buckle in for a thread.

It has always been and will continue to be a huge pleasure to work with Eric Levine. (Trivia: We also used to work together for ChannelFireball a lifetime ago.) Congrats and well deserved! Now, will you please get around to fixing my issues with rule 614.12? The last rules manager was a slacker.

There are a few cards from Doctor Who Commander that I’ve been wanting to build Commander decks around for a while. I think I’ll start with Me, the Immortal. #WotCstaff

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

Magic judges and Magic fans!!! Come talk to me and folks from the rules team! We’ll be hanging out behind the stage in the 💙blue💙 ticketed play area most of the weekend. Happy MagicCon, friends! 🤩 #WotCStaff #MCVegas26

Spending my day with some of the coolest folks in the multiverse! 🤩💜 #WotCStaff #MCVegas26

On my way to Vegas! Who am I gonna see there? #WotCstaff

Hello World, we’d like to introduce ourselves. We the workers of the Magic: The Gathering Arena team have come together to unionize as United Wizards of the Coast - CWA! 🧵 unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/announcing-united-wizards-coast-cwa

me: difficulty options in games are meant to be used. if you have more fun with a game on lower difficulty hell yeah play it that way. if you're into it, that's what matters. also me: if i ever turn down the difficulty on a game i really like them i will have failed all of my ancestors.

Imagine Doom (the videogame), you know, the doom game you've always known. You walk, you grab the shotgun, shoot at some baddies. You run, shoot, maybe unlock a secret area. You can imagine it, right? Well, this is the thing. Now you have Doom running in your brain. Doom runs freaking everywhere. :D

A new job opening has appeared on my team! Want to template Magic cards (and many other things)? Can't get enough Magic and/or my witty banter? You can have it all! jobs.hasbro.com/job/Renton-T... #WotCstaff

One of the Artemis astronauts stood up immediately after splashdown and started collecting his carryon bags even though he was seated in the back row of the capsule.

One point the mechanics article glossed over: A resolving spell with paradigm is always exiled. This matters for the second and subsequent card with any given name. Even though that spell isn't setting up any new copies, the card is still exiled. The reminder text is clear, hopefully. #WotCstaff

Sometimes that’s all feel you can do.

I finally watched Superman (2025); it came out around when my daughter was born and I’m finally finding time for stuff like that again. Anyway, it kinda slapped IMO. Was it perfect? No. But it was fun, it knew what it was about, and was a breath of fresh air compared to the genre at large right now.

You ever think about how Barroom Brawl works in a giant Grand Melee game? Well, now you have. You’re welcome, or I’m sorry, as appropriate. #WotCstaff

A question I have been asked a lot is “What happens if Shark Shredder brings back a creature with first strike?” Since that new creature hasn’t dealt combat damage yet, it gets to deal combat damage in the second combat damage step with the slow creatures that don’t have first strike. #WotCstaff

MTG rules trivia: Grand Melee is also a format where you can sometimes have different spells on multiple stacks at the same time. Magic is wild! #WotCStaf

Thinking about Woodcaller Automaton. #WotCstaff

I would be lying if I said I haven’t ever considered renting a storage unit for my Magic collection.

Don't mind me, I'm just over here thinking about what weird stuff I can make happen if you mutate your commander onto Volrath's shapeshifter. You know they pay me for this? #WotCstaff

I just finished ep 3 of the new #Bridgerton season. I think I’m supposed to be sad, but honestly I just feel like Mrs. Crabtree was 100% right.

The way costs and effects are sometimes talked about, it's easy to think that they never overlap, but that isn't true. Costs appear inside of effects all the time. Any time you see "[Do something.] If you do, [do something else]," that first action is a cost, per 118.12, inside of the effect of ...

Coworker: This interaction doesn't make sense, can you explain it? Me: Yes, but you will need context. *Writes probably too much about layers and why they exist, with pictures and examples* Coworker: Okay, but what if it didn't work that way? Me: Honestly, I ask myself this question all the time.

Hello world! I finally opened an account on the blue place. So, what’s up here?
