the best card in the new Avatar Set... is maybe Gran-Gran? 👀

ok so what are everyone's new halloweens resolutions

Happy Halloween!

This is the way In the pods I play in. If someone draws a sol ring, they immediately exile it and replace it with something else. Because c’mon.

Your friendly neighborhood @benbrode.bsky.social is back, taking his Spiders-Man up against the villainous @covertgoblue.bsky.social! Will the costumed commander damage hater take the day? Or will the Fluid Felon steal the show? LIVE: youtu.be/53s-5RKAdGE

Today's the day! Don't miss what's guaranteed to be a wild show :)

First of all, Waffle House is DELICIOUS

WHAT?? HOLY SHIT

I’ll be at MagicCon Atlanta starting Saturday! Hope to see you fools there! 🤘🤘

it should be illegal to print a magic card and not also make a foil version available

pitch to keep Commander games from going too long, inspired by my most recent 3-hour Commander game. After opening hands, shuffle 2 "BOMB"s into each deck. Bomb 👇

Is WotC gonna fix Lesson cards for Commander???

Back in the rap game after all these years... www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ9T...

There has to be a better phrase than “nontoken permanent” 🙄 Oh right, just say “card”. Tokens aren’t cards.

Why does Wizards keep putting Japanese language cards in English boosters? Can’t people just buy Japanese packs if they want that?

My alter ego, Mr. Cheese

Commander needs something that forces a game to end soon after the first player gets eliminated. My pitch: MAX Life is 40. The maximum halves each time a player dies. 40 -> 20 -> 10

unban *these* in Commander, you cowards

if i was in charge of commander

Looking through my old yearbook and realizing i've let a lot of people down who asked me to 'keep in touch' and 'stay cool'

We've made great progress over the weekend on restoring services to the app stores. The Apple App store is now up and running globally!

AMC Theaters is on DoorDash now. In case you were looking to pay high prices for popcorn from the comfort of your home

WHEW. MARVEL SNAP is back online in the U.S. But to make sure this NEVER happens again, we’re working to bring more services in-house and partner with a new publisher. This is the start of a new era for MARVEL SNAP.

IS MARVEL SNAP BACK ONLINE IN THE US??

We've been working around the clock to bring MARVEL SNAP back up in the U.S. and hope to have it back online within 24 hours. We'll update you once it's back up. In the meantime, global players should be able to continue to play with no issues.

FWIW I am hearing that VPN software will allow you continue playing Marvel Snap in the meantime

Unfortunately, MARVEL SNAP is temporarily unavailable in U.S. app stores and is unavailable to play in the U.S. This was a surprise to Second Dinner and our publisher Nuverse. We’re actively working on getting the game up as soon as possible and will update you once we have more to share.

The books I read in 2024 - book of the year was Outlive by Peter Attia

ROUND 2. FIGHT! 🥊 We're back taking another swing at speedrunning a Commander game with @benbrode.bsky.social & @drlupo.bsky.social. Hope you're ready for a Collective Voyage! 👀 Watch the full episode here: youtu.be/kxrN5V-BrRw

Hijinks is back at home this week @drlupo.bsky.social and @benbrode.bsky.social! But uhhh... we have a problem. Ben Brode literally can't lose this game! 😱 Watch the new episode here: youtu.be/d5N0c1YJW-Q

Is this my most creative deck or least creative deck? 😅

I've been thinking about how much I hate Commander Damage in Magic, and how some people love it and love building around it and I have a solution I think would be cool. Imagine a set of cards that you can start the game with to power you up or modify the game. Kind of like Conspiracy cards. 1/4 👇

this dog i just saw is max chillin

The holiday party fit 😜

do y’all think Dr. Dre is still d.r.e. or nah

Holy cow Wicked was super good

The last 9 minutes were closer to torture than anything resembling basketball

Sometimes I sing the theme song from the old Batman Nintendo game and think to myself, “fuck. what a great soundtrack that was.”

I’m suing Hot Pockets

And they were never seen again

Someone who lives on my block went to outer space today. I’m happy for her, but it really drives home how much I didn’t go to outer space today.

I am a Circadian Sneezer. Yes it’s a real thing. I sneeze every day around 9:30am. It’s very weird. Hard to find data on why this happens. What is the name for a scientist who studies sneezes? Sneezeologist? Anyway I need a sneezeologist on this site to tell me if I’m dying or not

This was a SUPER fun game! Congrats on 50 episodes! 🥰

I beat Pokémon Pocket!

Bluesky is cool! So far I prefer Threads; it’s more active and the algorithm feels better to me. But I’ll post both places for now. 🫡

Hey there, don’t be scared, my name is Ben Brode

Get toasted, scrubs
