We decided to run it back! Two Buckeye Brawls in one year. Over $8K for the food bank. Community magic is something special. Can’t wait till the next one. #mtg #premodern #mtgpremodern

This happened a couple months with my aunts estate. Not as big, but was still a surprise State has a claim no one knew about, takes almost everything.

if millennials could afford homes this wouldnt be a problem but this is going to hit the generation like a truck

Come out tomorrow to The Retromancers Oct PM monthly at The Forge. Giving out spoopy alters for those who dress up

I would like to see somebody run on swinging the pendulum back. No, actually, you don't have a Constitutional right to sic 40,000 Belarusian bots disguised as sexy grandmas underneath every WNBA highlight in order to make an entire sport about the existence trans people. Stop accepting that premise.

The Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering teams at Wizards of the Coast have just announced they're unionizing. In a letter of demands, the union has urged Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast leaders to stop pushing generative AI. https://bit.ly/4hMhPzG

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

We don't make videos, we don't podcast, we just let the writers write. We're trying to prove that there's still an audience for written work about a thing we all love and word of mouth helped us sell nearly a thousand issues last time. It would rule to get over that line this time around.

This is a deeply personal issue for me. I'm asking, please donate to your local food bank. Food security is a complex problem. It was very large. Now the Republicans have made it absolutely colossal. Please help, now and throughout the year.

Server with no life behind its eyes: Welcome to Chipotle, would you like to try our Magic The Gathering special? It comes with black bean lotus, the five tex-mexes, thyme-twister, and ancestral recalled spinach. Me: What about— Server: Time guac is extra.

Doing research on Scryfall for a future episode and I realized: There have been MORE new Legendary Creatures printed in 2026 than Non-Legendary Creatures. I knew it was bad, but... damn.

Not sure why Max is listed over Shroom, but what an event

Definitely in the rip your own jeans, damage your cards, camp

I really can't stress enough that my issue isn't with the look of the cards, the artists are brilliant, funny, & sick! Moreso my issue is that a grungy aesthetic is being extruded through multiple layers of marketised collectability. Don't wait for Levis to do it for you! Rip your own jeans!

A Magic card is a piece of art. A Magic card is a testament to creative ingenuity. A Magic card is a memory. A Magic card is expensive. A Magic card is free. A Magic card is the best thing you've ever seen (a Scaled Wurm) A Magic card is the worst thing you've ever seen (a Scaled Wurm)

I’m bad at Bluesky. Played in the BCDL Premodern event on Sunday. Golden Replenish 5-1 for Top 8 & a swift exit to Burn. Had to play several homies in the Swiss which was a bummer. Love community mtg GAT ⭐️⭐️ Mirror ⭐️🫩⭐️ Moneyball ⭐️🫩🫩 UW Control ⭐️⭐️ GW TerraOath ⭐️⭐️ RG Goblins 🫩⭐️⭐️ Top 8 Burn 🫩🫩

Played at PEACE, a premodern charity event, in Michigan this past weekend. Lost last round to miss a small shot for Top 8 and missed top 16. Had a blast! Met and caught up with some many great folks. All events need an art table. Community Magic is great

The Onslaught block has a special place in my heart since it's when I started playing magic. The reveal of the Nivea card feels like the perfect excuse to make an Akroma token. #pixelart #mtg

the popularity of Nick @ Nite was really funny because you’d be in high school in 2008 with friends who were longtime fans of The Golden Girls

I know people are tired and overworked, but I feel like oftentimes they’re offloading a creative (and, on some level, rewarding) activity to free up time that they’ll ultimately spend scrolling on their phones—thereby further reducing their brains to mush. it’s a vicious cycle of meaninglessness
