I think Enter the Avatar state is gonna be one of those >1$ uncommons. Just a very solid protection spell in Commander, with evasion and lifegain as the cherries on top.

This was the original illustration I did for the BG Insect token. When I updated the design of my tokens I couldn't find it, so I had to paint another one. The other day while looking for something else I found it! So I did a few changes and now it's G inset haha.

The issue that I have with this Jumpstart release is that I was so happy to see this card previewed, but that was because I thought it was in the main set. Vanilla creatures are so nice for setting the tone of the world, and I miss when they were just in sets.

I do miss how back in the day you had one commander release and it was like the most important day of the year as a commander player, spamming spoilers and everyday to see what the new decks and cards were and then talking about it with your friends

This is the most Boros-ass black card I've ever seen (in art and effect -- just replace the life loss with damage).

MKM was a disappointing set under many aspects, but the Mia Boas full art basics are without a doubt some of the prettiest I've ever seen.

True for most sets. Bring back blocks!

Play more Blood Moon in Commander

Everyone ten years ago when The Force Awakens came out: “Wow, this is dumb. Why are the fascists just doing the exact same plan again?” Everyone now: “Oh.”

Funny how often there's a direct proportionality between how wrong one is about something and how confident they are about it

I only discovered recently the existence of this awesome version of Mulldrifter and I'm in love. Immediately got one for my cube.

I love to see, week after week, Premodern cards spiking in price. To note that most of these have modern reprints that are much cheaper (and legal in PM), but the original old border versions are getting quite pricey, which speaks for the popularity of the format! #mtgpremodern

Which makes me think btw that Rampant Growth is a very strong card and too many Commander players disrespect it because it only gets basics. Y'all don't play enough basics and also don't respect the power of 2 mana land ramp enough!

This is the first time that Rampant Growth gets a functional reprint. Pretty wild!

With the Standard ban, this card should get quite a bit cheaper. Commander players might want to get their copies, card's very good.

What is testing even?

For the Pauper players, here's a follow-up article on why we banned High Tide. There's a lot more nuance compared to previous bans, and recommend reading the article if you have a few minutes to spare. magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno... #MTGPauper

Bye bye High Tide!! Now I can play Elves again in Pauper 😍 Also bye Vivi and Entomb! Curious to see if Mystic Forge and Oops will dominate Legacy now that Renaimator and Nadu have been hit so heavily?

Great card in #mtgpremodern!

Ban day!!! Vivi and/or Cauldron getting banned in Standard is a given. Personally I also hope for a High Tide ban in Pauper, and for multiple bans in Legacy hitting Reanimator, Mystic Forge, Nadu and Oops (don't play the format but I follow it a bit).

So, as I've seen some contrasting claims and ended up a bit confused myself, help me out: As far as I understand, with the proposed hybrid mana rule change for EDH, Shu Yun could helm a Jeskai deck, but be in the 99 of a Jeskai, Azorius or Izzet deck. Is that correct?

First time I own playsets of these in my life. You can tell I'm not a blue player lol

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

Did you know that these 2 cards from #mtgxatla are originally from Portal: 3 Kingdoms and are being reprinted for the first time 25 years later! #magicthegathering #mtg #mtgcommander #commander

Universes Beyond...

This card is very good. It's probably going to be another one of those where people will focus way too much on the 7 mana Blood Moon ability, not seeing that a 2 mana 2/2 Menace that makes nonbasic lands enter tapped is already very strong.

Drafted my Cube for the first time and had a blast!! Managed to draft a pretty sick Rakdos aggro/midrange deck despite another player in the pod also drafting Rakdos (he had a more aggro version), but got land problems in the first matches and ended the draft 1-2. The winning deck was UWB Control!

This can reanimate the shuffle Eldrazis, just saying

I completely agree with Rebell. Not gonna start the discussion here again, but give her video a watch.

I made it almost to the end of episode 3. It's cute, but the animation definitely shows its age.

Interesting watch youtu.be/6mcwwDC3mMY?...

Theros basics appreciation post. This set has some of the prettiest basic art I've ever seen. Too bad it's not old border!

Sleeving the basics for my Cube and watching ATLA for the first time. Let's see, I'm curious!

Interesting Stoneforge Mystic target

Next stop: Antwerp! RC Antwerp is (likely) going to be my last event of the year. Belgium is a very special country for me, so I’m really excited to do an event there for the first time. As it’s now tradition here’s the food token I’ve made for Belgium. Who am I seeing there?

Blazing Spectre spiking must be because of Premodern, right?

Masterpiece

The bonus shit

Presenting my tribute to the late Drew Struzan, creator of my favorite poster of all time: THE THING

If the bonus sheet must be this bad because of IP constraints, they should just get rid of it

Few things annoy me as much as parents who let their kids do whatever they want, including disturbing other people, in public spaces.

Can't believe that Celestial Colonnade was 60$ in freakin 2018!!! Absolutely wild.

Magic: The Gathering shares similarities with Weiß Schwarz than it does with Fortnite when it comes to reusing assets from IPs as game pieces (not to mention the strict licensing agreements that come with it).

Recently I had a Pauper game on Madness Burn against White Weenies that I won thanks to an epic top deck that made me think of the "omg it's Lightning Helix!!!" Pro Tour moment 😁 Opponent at 3 life with a huge board, sends in a lethal attack. I have no blockers, so I have to use a Lava Dart 1/2

Goblins won the last 5 monthly Premodern tournaments at our 2 LGSs. A friend of mine on BG Goblins won twice, then I won twice on RF, then he won again yesterday, defeating Devourer combo, Stiflenough (twice) and Sligh. Goblins domination! 👺 #mtgpremodern

I haven't watched ATLA (yet), but I can kinda infer the story from the cards, which is pretty cool

Interesting, a red card that can destroy enchantements
