The Welcome Decks in the PAX West swag bag is what got us back in the game. I’d argue that ended up with a positive ROI for WotC :P Anyways, throw these in every major nerd convention for the next year and I assume that’ll likely double the player base :P

When working on the Brothers' War set, I named the ocean between Terisiaire and Aerona the Visceral Sea to provide a diegetic explanation for why Flood-Age Kjeldorans called homarids "viscerids" (They invaded from the Visceral Sea.) I might be the only person who cared about this, but I fixed it :3

It's taken me a long time to really internalize this, but I think what Brennan is talking about here is something that Sheldon talked about a lot with respect to Commander, and most people don't understand it in the context of Magic.

"When the world meets its end... could you be there with me?" Today's alter is this full-art Wrath of God from promo art by Yumeko for the final volume of "Destroy All Humans, They Can't Be Regenerated".

This is a public service announcement for Kill Team players: speak with your cousins across the aisle who play Magic: the Gathering and ask if they have spare spindown life counters. These are d20s whose numbers are printed sequentially and they make great wound counters.

The longer I look at this the more confident I become that this is exactly what my dog's internal monologue looks like.

One of the coolest things I saw this weekend was part of a “Cube” curated by Matt (I am only 90% certain on name) who buys PT draft decks from players and keeps them in individual cases. Players draft three decks from a selection on table and play beat two out of three a different deck each game.

MagicCon Vegas is done and dusted. Incredibly heartwarming running into so many Canadian Highlander players, both old and new. Was sick to meet a ton of folks that I got into signature collecting (my bad but not really).
