Got a new pup! Say hi to Snowball. (3.5 months old, Maltese)

It’s time to go from making games to BREAKING them in this ultra-high-powered episode of #ExtraTurns w/ special guests @benbrode.bsky.social @blackneto.bsky.social and @persephiroth.bsky.social. Don’t miss it: youtu.be/ajR_Y5KS80Q?... @wachelreeks.com

Marvel Snap Draft mode is now live! (and it rules) www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO8e...

Called it

It so refreshing to hear someone talk sense about Commander Damage.

You might hate it, but if Magic made this set, the game would double in size

Yo, MTG - let's kick it! For our ONE HUNDREDTH episode, we are joined by @benbrode.bsky.social and @thesixler.bsky.social for an epic battle - a rap battle, that is! Thanks to everyone who has helped us get to this milestone! LIVE: youtu.be/RzvSrM-1cB0

Ok but why not just “Whenever another artifact is put into your graveyard”

Planeswalkers

My pitch to slightly fix FTA in Commander - Player 1 gets no free mulligan. - Player 2 gets 1 free mulligan - Player 3 gets 2 free mulligans - Player 4 gets 3 free mulligans

Come enjoy my masterpiece deck in action, then check the beautiful custom deck at snapstonewielder.com

when WotC makes these super sick textless cards, i wish they would print the text on the back of the card at least Or like, a QR code to the scryfall entry 🤪

I'll be at Wondercon today and tomorrow - if you run into me, please say hi!

feels like this is disingenuous @kitchenaidusa.bsky.social

who on the Commander Committee hates it when green players put lands onto the battlefield we need to talk

I'm sure there's some exciting unbans today but OOOH can't wait to read about updates to the RESTRICTED list

I created a website to manage rotisserie drafts with friends: mtgrotisseriedraft.com Have you ever done a Rotisserie Draft? They're so fun!!! Thanks to @davetron.bsky.social and @gavinverhey.bsky.social for inventing the 12-set format and introducing me to it!

Made a website to help manage draft tournaments for funsies: TonightWeDraft.com

It's the return of @benbrode.bsky.social - this time doing REAL MAGIC! - along with the debut of @jimdavismtg.bsky.social doing Goblin shenanigans. Who will prevail? The fliers (WHO REALLY FLY!) or the little green men? LIVE: youtu.be/mghH7bh7qKI

@scryfall.com Any advice for how to search for MDFC's that are castable in a mono white deck? (not a commander deck, i don't care about identity). I expecting something like front_mana= and back_mana= but can't find a way to search the sides independently.

yooo pack it up was super fun www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOGe...

Can’t believe it’s already the season finale of season 1 of #packitup! We’ll be airing the finale episode of our 1st season next Friday 1/2 at 12noon pst @benbrode.bsky.social joins as a 1st time guest, & OFFICIALLY changes the show forever 🤯 Tune in for the live premiere next week. Cheers!

This was an incredible game

In MTG, why do only damage spells tell you what the source of the effect is in the card text? And why do they use a different tense? Murder should either say "Murder destroys target creature" or Lightning Bolt should say "Deal 3 damage to any target".

damn this combo is nuts

Embarrassing. We have some work to do in 2026. I would like to apologize to my play group.

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...

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