Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!

More like UncoolStuffInc if you ask me. I won't be supporting them moving forward.

Chapter 14: "Slop it up!!!"

One from the archives today - a 2020 piece that still feels relevant today. blog.cardkingdom.com/the-cards-yo...

I was a union employee at a large company for over a decade and I became a union representative because I care about my fellow workers. UWOTC-CWA has my full support.

Hey @cirithungolband.bsky.social One Foot in Hell came out almost 40 years ago. Can you please talk Metal Blade Records into doing a deluxe reissue like the other albums? 🙌

Somebody needs to check on @defiantmartyr.bsky.social since the first artwork for the mono-white Liliana from Reality Fracture was shown.

What are the strongest new cards from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Commander? Continue? seems like a really good one, but I wanted to make sure that I'm not missing anything.

I'm not really familiar with Fallout and I've never seen the TV series, but I really want to build a deck with Lucy MacLean, Positively Armed as my commander. She lets you do some really interesting things.

Happy birthday @thehermitdruid.bsky.social! Consistently one of my faves.

First group is nonfoil, second group is foil, and third group is halo foil. I will be trying to trade into a nonfoil Urza's Saga and Wasteland so let me know if you got those ones.

I'm surprised but I managed to buy the Secret Lair within about five minutes once it actually went on sale after the delays.

I'm going to try to buy the Secret Lair, but I expect it to go badly. I'm really interested in a few of the cards, but I'm also not going to worry if I miss it since they're just reprints.

I'm not in favor of a hybrid mana rules change in Commander, but I'd accept it if it happens. What I really don't want is a future where hybrid cards are printed way more often and there are so many hybrid cards that are staples that basically every Commander deck plays a significant number of them.

Have you seen the latest article by @thehermitdruid.bsky.social? This guy literally cooked. Nathan explores the flavor of #MTGxATLA through The Cabbage Merchant and he even created a beautiful recipe inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender. 🥬🔥 www.playedh.com/articles/the...

Been missing those from the garden cooking videos and my thoughts on Magic? We got them both in one place for you now @playedh.bsky.social Enjoy some smokey, spicy charred cabbage and have a read. If you make the recipe, tag me and I might have something for you 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6h5...

So did you miss those “Bloomburrow” style videos? The newest article series I’m starting on @playedh.bsky.social is called “The Flavour of Magic” where we talk about the Ludonarrative of Magic cards and pair it with a recipe you can make at home. Charles Cabbage Ft: www.playedh.com/articles/the...

"Charles Cabbage" 😂Never change, Nathan

Update: Tooth has been removed. My wife is helping me transcribe and edit and we will definitely have the finished product this week. @thehermitdruid.bsky.social 🤟

I broke my tooth and it's very painful so I'm writing this to hold kyself accountable to @thehermitdruid.bsky.social for the article we've been working on for @playedh.bsky.social that he has worked extremely hard on.

In this article, @defiantmartyr.bsky.social talks about the awesome Pendragon fan format and sits down with the @pendragonmtg.com Rules Round Table to discuss how the format was created. Check it out! www.playedh.com/articles/pen...

As usual for Rebell, this is awesome! Everyone did a great job. Especially impressed by @thehermitdruid.bsky.social as usual.

A reminder to all Commander players that you can die to commander damage or infect when combat damage can't be prevented even if you have protection from everything and your life total can't change. #MTGEternities

I love how I'm already seeing people talking about how they think #MTGxSpiderMan is boring and predicting it isn't going to sell well like they haven't already had several chances to learn their lesson about Universes Beyond being insanely popular.

Legends never die. Rock on Prince of Darkness. 🤘

Okay @cirithungolband.bsky.social what does the "S.E.P. in "Velocity (S.E.P.)" stand for? I've listened to it tons of times and I still have no idea.

Over the past three months, I learned everything I could about Final Fantasy – from its rich history to its massive cultural impact and the many in-jokes shared among its fans. In time, I understood why it has captured the hearts of players everywhere. 🎥: youtu.be/II7MQKqrcj8

In this article, @chiefisdeaf.bsky.social talks about what he thinks the future of the Game Changers list will be like and why some cards wind up on the list, using newer cards as examples. Check it out. www.playedh.com/articles/the...

Randomly found this bakery today and did a double take when I saw the name. #wotcstaff

Also I mentioned the other project I want to do for #BetterDaysMTG and this event. My hope is to share recorded stories from people impacted by suicide. Right now I just want to get an interest list together docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

G'morning Phyrexia! We have an announcement about our upcoming Praetors Pride Block Party Fundraiser with @streamforacause.bsky.social! Unfortunately, due to a number of factors - logistical delays & team member injuries - we have made the call to postpone this event until the weekend of July 18th

It's my birthday on this, the 24th day of pride. You are legally obligated to share my shop. And be gay. I don't make the rules, I just get paid to promote them. www.inprnt.com/profile/jord...

"Listen to my story. This...may be our last chance." My last Commander lore article for #MTGxFINALFANTASY is here! This time I'm covering the complete story of Final Fantasy X - the subject of the Counter Blitz deck. Check it out now at @coolstuffinc.com! www.coolstuffinc.com/a/paigesmith...

Narrator: "The wait was, in fact, far from over."

Time to reseason the cast iron pans again.

Filling in for Lyght! I'm playing a slightly different version of the list focusing on standard melee beats and naya power matters with a little bit of sneak attack mixed in. Excited to see what the low power beats have in store for us! list: tinyurl.com/TIFAMELEE V Stream about to go live below V

I've been waiting to restart these Twitch streams with @defiantmartyr.bsky.social for a while and I'm so glad that she's back. I've gotta give her all of the flowers for always doing a great job. 💐

I'm a man of my word. #MTGxFinalFantasy

Final Fantasy is finally here after a super long preview season. In this article, @chiefisdeaf.bsky.social talks about his favorite cards from the set to add to your decks or to build as the commanders for your entirely new decks. www.playedh.com/articles/fin...

My son is hilarious. He kept asking me to watch "Mouse Hand Videos" and I had to do detective work to figure out that he wanted If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. He's fascinated by the fact that the animals have hands and he also keeps saying that they have "mouths to talk" which I think is super cute.

"...so you see, there are only 96 nonfoil copies and 24 foil copies in the whole world, so it's a good investment." 🥹

We don't use TCGPlayer for prize fulfillment for Patrons because of their repeated abuses against the employees that made them into the company that they are today. The recent actions only further cement that policy.

I'm no longer buying cards from TCGPlayer or its parent company eBay.

Out running errands and found this cute little sign. 😜 #WOTCStaff
