Glad to be an inspiration!!
Fun fact: they were in my vision design file for the original Commander Legends. I'm a fan! Maybe someday. :)

Today we made a few changes (and shared plenty of thoughts) around Commander. There's a pair of articles up on the website, and I have a video covering everything.
What happened and why? What are we looking at?

My design! Tried a LOT of things to get this to work, many different designs. For a while it just flipped until it hit a single creature, but concerns about always hitting the same creature.
The thing I'm most proud of on this card is adding flashback. There's never just one random encounter!
Continually impressive!!
Really appreciate you and your work ❤️
Today, we are doing the Commander Format Panel member rotation I mentioned when the panel formed last year. Thanks to everybody on the panel for their work, and a warm welcome to @budgetcommander.bsky.social and @highermtg.bsky.social!

You can read the detailed writeup I and the PFP wrote here: magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...
Today, after a trial unban period, we are re-banning High Tide in Pauper. This is due to a combination of power level, impact on player experience, and impact on the format as a whole.
Interested in a more detailed breakdown?

I keep a copy of the Dutch version of the plane at my desk:
1v1 Magic is full of lessons and strategies you can use to up your Commander gameplay.
This episode, we’ve enlisted help from some of the best of the best: pro players, competitive streamers, and hall of famers.
Get ready for a ton of level-up moments: youtu.be/5kDU67RVIhY
I want to recognize that we've moved the timing of this update multiple times. That's not the kind of communication we strive for. However, with B&R earlier, it now makes sense for Pauper to line up with other formats instead of going a bit early.
Expect a full check-in then!
Hi Pauper players! I wanted to provide an update on High Tide.
With the wider Magic B&R announcement moved two weeks earlier, we will now be making our check-in (and any potential B&R update) that day as well. So that's November 10th. You'll hear more at that time!

What are your favorite commons and uncommons for Commander OTHER than just top staples? Hit me with some faves!
Here's one that has been a big overperformer for me. Chips in for a ton of damage, and pretty easily to start making a 1/1 every turn with this in many blue decks. Nice card!
#wotcstaff
Really glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Come for the Pauper content, stay for the Gavin ASMR that is the last 15 minutes of the video!
As a kid, I fell in love with Star Trek - the exploration, characters, and dilemmas alike. So it was incredible to lead design a set covering the whole series! (Shout-out to @ethanfleischer.bsky.social who led vision!) I can't wait for you to see (and draft!) it in November 2026.
Engage!
