Okay I’m giggling at including these two in the “Spark or no Spark” quiz The answer is uh… 😅

Here we go!

Repping Baltimore with an Underarmor Polo today

Just a quick, friendly request: I’m an SO bad at names especially if our interactions are primarily online or at previous cons where everything is a blur. If we’re meeting and I don’t immediately say your name it’s lost in the haze of childhood concussions, plz help me.

Well, well, well. What packages are these? Better come to the Loremaster Monarch panel tomorrow at 4 to find out 🤔

What @byjacobparis.bsky.social and @myhandsareblank.bsky.social are doing with D00DL at Magic Cons is museum level educational programming for the public under the auspices of a gaming convention It’s truly inspired engagement You should make time to see it

I just realized MagicCon Atlanta is in the same time general time period as PAX Unplugged next year… I may just let the boy choose which we go to 🤷🏻‍♂️ So maybe you will all see Arjun at a Magic event next year. Or maybe I’ll skip MagicCon.

2PM Eastern, I know a bit of what’s on there and it rocks

I don’t look that terrible for being up 5 times with the 3yo last night and walking what felt like five miles from the MARTA 😅

I’ve been in Atlanta for five minutes and already seen @iwriterobots.com and @flavorpromatt.bsky.social

Someone on my flight has the Magic manga I think I might be going to the right place

Diya is old enough now to know that daddy going on trips means presents when he gets home. She has requested a Beauty and the Beast LEGO set. So if any of the vendors at MagicCon have one of those let me know 😆

TSA pre-check deck check, didn’t even need to pull them out this time 😌

What a weird response. Pretty clearly like a bot or something?

I have reached the stage of travel where I miss my family and am questioning my life choices. I haven’t left home yet 😅

If you’re looking to catch me at MagicCon this weekend, reminder that the best times are during my Meet & Greet on Friday at 5, and at the Loremaster Monarch panel on Saturday at 4!

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

This rocks, his Tobias Whale was basically Tombstone already (the characters are basically the DC/Marvel versions of each other).

This 100%, I've found myself playing maybe 2-3 Commander games a day at these events, max, if I want to do literally anything else. I'll be bringing six total decks to play over 3 days.

Adding the Rani of Jhansi to civ 7 is sweet as hell, not gonna lie. She was a hardcore freedom fighter who was one of the main leaders of the first big rebellion against the British, and was martyred for the cause. A hero to this day. civilization.2k.com/civ-vii/game...

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

YEEPPPP not looking forward to this shitstorm

A neat detail about Through The Omenpaths is that the symbiotes appear to be an invasive species. We see Tethix getting the jump on an Azorius guard while Viggo appears to be on a more fairy tale-esque (Eldraine?) plane.

Having trouble sleeping so posting this one early before I doze off (⁠~⁠￣⁠³⁠￣⁠)⁠~ spider Jace #jace #jacebeleren #mtg #spiderman #gatewatch #mtgart #magicthegathering

Gravity seems to be doing a pretty good job so far

Do you remember? It’s my birthday today (yes, really)! That means I can invoke the sacred social media rites of the PROMO THREAD! let’s boogie

My 9yo is currently going through all [number redacted] of my Commander decks to "see if there's one I'm not really using" and has also been dropping unsubtle hints that he wishes he was coming with me to MagicCon Atlanta. I think I might actually have to bring him next time.

Alright Gundam TCG, I’ll come back for another round

Something like 70-75% of H1-Bs are given to Indians in medicine and tech. Highly skilled folks we desperately need in these sectors. I wonder if this will finally move the needle for the desi MAGA uncles

Hell yeah

Okay there it is. Also, is that really state center? This is the kindest angle I’ve ever seen for the MDH building 🤣

In advance of #MCAtlanta, here's some personal but broadly applicable tips for meeting a creator you like: 1) Introduce yourself with information that will help me place you, even if we've met. Use the name I would know, and tell me from where. Cons are a blur and I'm bad with names to being with.

Man, how did Maryland get left off this

I think my favorite part about the #Elspeth comic is how Elspeth is drawn. The absolute anger and the injustice against her is so visceral. It screams “I did everything right and you’re still doing this to me??” Also bonus Ashiok because how do you make a character without eyes look so shocked

In honor of Dark Horse's *return* to Magic: The Gathering, I wanted to note that technically, the original Dark Horse run was also Untold Stories! Called 'Gerrard's Quest', it used Tempest as a frame narrative to tell the backstory of the Weatherlight crew!

Mission accomplished!

Out TODAY! For less than a pack of Magic cards, and available digitally! If you want Magic media outside of web fiction, this is your chance to show them. If you're a lore fan: buy it, don't just read a summary from someone who did.

I'm about an hour into Star Wars Outlaws and every single woman in this game was engineered to appeal to lesbians

Extra Life secret lair Play-Doh: Squishful Thinking Revealed by WeeklyMTG Love Academy Manufactor being in this!

You know what I appreciate about K-Pop Demon Hunters? They didn’t set it in “Seoul York” or that stupid thing they do in kids movies where they set something in a half American version of a foreign city.

My first Spider-Man Lore article is out! www.coolstuffinc.com/a/jayannelli...

Man those prices came down, huh

Traverse the Multiverse like a planeswalking professional! Follow Natalie and Harless on a trip through some of Magic's most famous settings. Watch Now: youtu.be/0zFbXKV2rMg

As a straight white guy, I've rarely been mentioned there, but it's great to see what was essentially the MTG home for bigots get shut down.

THIS WEEK

‘ANDOR’ has won the Emmy for Best Writing in a Drama Series. See the full winners list: bit.ly/EmmyWins25

Anyways, tested glossy stock. Undecided. (Find me anytime after the Friday preview panel for a copy at #MCAtlanta)

Oh, someone on the Strange New Worlds art team is definitely a Magic fan, huh
