Jake's post from Twitter is really good. You should read it.

Shared my thoughts on the current state of Magic and Universes Beyond, and the problems the current direction presents - even if you're not a hater youtu.be/CW7pXZfiw0o

Tried something a little different (which is always risky!) with today's video, going over a masterclass game from Willy Edel from #SpotlightPlanetary! 📺 youtu.be/N4j7Uv_lRR4?... 📺 @fireshoes.bsky.social #SCGOrlando

I did some analysis of the recent @magic.wizards.com Standard meta & things have really shifted - not a huge sample, but looks like Mono-R Aggro is unseating Izzet Cauldron, Dimir Midrange is rising, & Mono-G Aggro has come up @optimustom.bsky.social @azoriusi.bsky.social @fireshoes.bsky.social

T8'd the sunday challenge, I can't get enough of this format! Forgot to pack in the Scorching Shot, so 14 card sideboard 🤷‍♂️ Mirror is getting popular. As much as I like Twinmaw feeding itself back into the deck, having removal for Hellkite might be too important from now on @fireshoes.bsky.social

On my way to Tampere, Finland for some #Premodern and this drops. #spiderman! Wonder what the original request was…hmmmmm… #mtgart #magicthegathering #mtgpremodern

I think these sets don't have a soul. It's not a risk to take someone else's IP and repackage it with bells on. It's the same level of integrity as a Happy Meal kid's toy. It's cheap, temporary and easily forgotten. It's okay to want to make money. But money hates risk. And originality is risky. 5/

From every capitalist point of view, UB sets are a complete success. However, what I've realized is that I genuinely have no interest in sets or cards that feature an IP I don't care about. And it's fine, but I do feel sad. It sucks having originality sacrificed on the altar of commerce.

I never thought i’d be here, but I won Spotlight Orlando! Glad all my hard work paid off, had great opponents all weekend, and definitely made my dream finally come true. Thankful for all my friends and mutuals that guided me along the way, couldn’t have done it otherwise! @fireshoes.bsky.social

it's morbin time

effective today, I have resigned from working with Ultimate Guard, as I can no longer support the company's creative or business decisions.

among the many issues plaguing contemporary play design is "draw a card"

cavedan scored back-to-back 5-0s with laa11's Railway Onslaught brew. Link is to laa11's article about the deck (the black sideboard splash is post-article). As of Friday, laa11 also had five 4-1s in six leagues. The deck is also only 20 tix on MTGO. #mtg whatifbrews.substack.com/p/fighting-v...

As always, in the week leading up to an Arena Open, I host a call for some top streamers to discuss their thoughts on the format. Big group this time for EOE, but if anyone is interested in listening in, I've shared the link below drive.google.com/file/d/13i8m...

For fans of “Drive to Work” that always are trying to remember “when did Mark talk about this?” #WotCStaff

An amazing new resource for Magic enthusiasts/designers/etc was just released: drivetowork.browse.show It's a search engine for every one of @maro254.bsky.social's Drive to Work episodes -- you can type any phrase, such as "for those who don't know", and it will return every* time...

Saw this from Tumblr and it really resonated with me. If you engage with/talk a lot about HP stuff, you can and should do better. I don't think people realize how much referencing this stuff continues to give her power and makes the trans people around you uncomfortable.

PLEASE STOP SHOWING SPIDER-MAN CARDS I just want one week with my silly little space ships. PLEASE.

Skill Issue deck guides 📖 End of July Update: 35 guides added, and over a 100 in total! 🤓 Highlight is a very meaty Modern Necrodominance Primer posted by @EuleB_ in the Necro discord, and is in the style of an academic paper - really cool work 🧑‍🎓 #mtg #mtgguides @fireshoes.bsky.social

New podcast for the brewers out there! #mtg Madcap Experiments - Episode 1 Making Munitions This episode takes a look at some fun new cards from Edge of Eternities and tries to build some decks with them. First up is Weapons Manufacturing, with a couple of Nutrient Block lists to follow.

First days of 17Lands data for EOE draft are out. Treat those with caution but don't ignore them. And if one thing is clear: Green rules supreme. As a color, as a collection of individual cards, it is clearly best and at the same time - underdrafted compared to its power. 1/11

Early access thoughts! I played a sweet UW control decks, a couple of Gene piles, and some medium blue decks

me in 2019: oh wow i get to work with my favorite artists this is so cool me now: hey chris rahn have you heard of the card 'mind goblin'

Instead of a post-ban deck guide, I documented the journey that led Sanctum to register Wild Ride-Vivi prowess. I went 7-3 in constructed and Toni Portolan piloted it to top 8! What happens when Sanctum tries to build the best deck better than the competition? www.patreon.com/posts/how-to...

He loves latinas 😏🥰

Ketchup (wish he was on bluesky) did an amazing breakdown of OG Killer Instinct arcade, going in depth on all the mechanics that were incredibly ahead of their time for 1994. Give it a watch! youtu.be/57mxSDcb36E?...

Played Omni to a 7-3 constructed finish at the Pro Tour. Liked some of the innovations other players brought; this is how I'd play the deck in the future. Going -9 combo +9 control cards postboard vs Prowess worked very well for me! Link: moxfield.com/decks/fPG-EF... #HareruyaPros @moxfield.com

Someone recently asked me the omnipresent question "how do I get better at Magic/Limited gameplay?" Gave some thoughts + an important add on from @neo-mtg.bsky.social for those curious about my answer
