Not enough of a gamer to have "games that shaped me", but these are the ones I've sunk the most time into (outside of Tetris and Bubble Bobble variants during commutes)

Lil guy spawned inside a wall, with no way for me to interact with him or get him out. I think I'll call him Sorin.

Get ready for the long haul people. Time to start pestering WotC until they print the other 75 cards in this cycle.

Proust Baking Company Recalls Thousands of Madeleines

Set story pages have been added for every qualifying set between Alpha and Secrets of Strixhaven! Since each links to previous set and next, it's one continuous chain from earliest to latest and back. #Vorthos

I was about to speculate on how the Reality Fracture timeline hinges on these two getting the immortality spell rather than Eron, to explain how the heck they're still around, but aparently this card in from a new Mystery Booster set instead 😅

Good to know Everett would hate those "seamless" adds for Ground News in YouTube vids as much as I do.

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

Rafiq was defintely 1st. I think I then build Garza Zol for all the cool UBR cards that didn't fit the 1st deck. Not sure if Chainer & Intet I were 3 & 4 or if they came later... Could be I had just two EDH decks until Commander 2011 came out and I build like 6 decks at once with those legends.

If The Clone Saga was comics accurate it would keep adding additional chapters to itself.

Happy (early) Birthday Vorthos! If you didn't know: Magic gained the term "Vorthos" 20 years ago as of the 31st! I'll link the original introduction to Vorthos article below! What does being a member of the Vorthos community mean to you? What aspect of being a Vorthos do you enjoy most? #Vorthos

Amateur. We complained about the Mending for a solid decade. (I didn't actually, I quit the storyline community for a few years because it stayed negative for so long)

Information about the missing final page of Oasis!

If I had a nickel for every consecutive "If I had a nickel..." meme on my feed, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

These all seem like good suggetions for Magic's current Commander & UB-heavy form. I'd also give the P/T sword/shield (or some variation on that) another shot. I've seen a bunch of new players mix up which number is which, and other TCG's also use symbols or colors to differentiate them.

Not what it looks like

I will never not bump someone's attempt at making Magic Legos ideas.lego.com/projects/efa...

Quick @scryfall.com syntax question: If I search "type:legendary", the results don't include Khod, Etlan Shiis Envoy. If I search "type:legendary art:dominaria" it does. So I don't really get when playtest cards are/aren't included. Is there a way to make sure whether they show up?

I'm not following as many Dutchies here as on the old place, so now my feed is mostly just the Star Wars stuff, but yeah, the internet feels very strange this date.

The lack of information given to artists about the card they were supposed to be illustrating back in the day never ceases to amaze and amuse me.

Do it! Become one of the literally handfuls of people who have read the Harper Prism novels!

Some great choices here! Theft of Bayende (from the 1995 anthology Tapestries) is incredibly arresting, and probably the bleakest thing ever published under the Magic name. I genuinely don't think I want to re-read it now I've become a father... (this is an endorsement of it's quality writing)

With more and more of the usual suspects having gotten cards over the last few years, and some very obscure references having appeared in the MoM Planeshift set, I'm looking forward to seeing Captain Wineberry in Modern Masters IV.

If I had a nickel for every time I saw someone bring up El Jaguar, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it is weird Kurt Busiek and @ifdestroyed.bsky.social did so one week apart in januari 2025 😅
