You Have To Care How thoughtless art paves the way for AI slop and how I'm freeing myself from it.

Did low effort content pave the way for AI? While it's easy to blame big tech, the recent onslaught of slop caters to an audience that has proven time and time again that they prefer quantity to quality. I talked about what it looks like to reclaim your taste and, by extension, your self respect.

The decks are gorgeous with original prints, but tons of reprints and preprints are available!

This shameless plug brought to you through enjoying gameplay with Dark Confidant; Tarmogoyf; Venser, Shaper Savant; Greater Gargadon; Momentary Blink and many other "past-their-prime" goodies.

With card design lowering prices of 00s staples and Shock Lands getting more reprints, it is a fairly affordable chance to play a Standard format that is enjoyable far past its ...time. RAV-TSP-10E has a what still appears to be diverse, deep metagame. retrotcgs.com/2025/09/13/r... #mtgweird

🏆 Vintage Booster Battle: Prop 15/3 | Limitless January 18, 2026 - Prop 15/3 format - Retro Pokémon TCG

Trying to find an old standard mtg deck with Shared Discovery and Beastmaster Ascension to no avail.

I think a lot of that era of #mtg content has rotted away😭 the mtgo event deck database getting thrown away was a big sadness.

@moxfield.com Love the site! Any chance that a tagging feature can be added for historical formats?

Example: I created Invasion Block Constructed decks but have no clean way to communicate the decks are from that format. Even if I add to title and search "Invasion Block", a lot more decks show.

Waybackmachine appears not viable through "what's happening" page. I want to find ALA-ROE with m11 Standard lists🥲

Any hints on where to find old, like 2010, Magic Online deck lists? #magicthegathering #mtgo

Had no clue #mtgworlds was happening until i turned on twitch to aid napping

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Glad not all "i learned commander" stories are tragic! #oldpersonyellsatcommander

Enjoy those commons 🥰 #mtgweird

Oops wrong link before 😅 retrotcgs.com/2025/11/09/a...

Hehe. Thanks!

@wheeler.bsky.social do you need a reason to acquire more pokemon cards?!

Wrote a quick intro to WotC GLC (Gym Leader Challenge for Base-Skyridge Pokemon TCG). Format didn't exist in 2003, but it could've! It's a great way to enjoy playing with many Mon that are not viable in more widely played retro formats.

Grats!

FYI: Canlander is the 100-card-baller format out here.

So @tolariancommunitycollege.com took me to @totlgames.bsky.social and I convinced him to buy an expensive Gengar 🤣🤣

2-player draft is super fun. Can take a lot wilder implementation than the more traditional take on cube, like this one based around Meddling Mage (& similar cards): cubecobra.com/cube/list/in...

The #1 is: old constructed formats; not simply Legacy, but maybe Legacy 2012? Maybe... 2007 Standard 👀

Anyone headed to Laughing Dragon mxp tacoma on Saturday?

thinking to bring Invasion Block Constructed and 2007 Standard decks for peak casual gaming 🤠

pack examples didnt load correctly 😅

It took a few hours to sort out the print runs, but pack creation is fairly quick once done.

Was hoping to find the source file. ... but just found pictures. Pack has rarity slots, slots are populated by taking a sheet and adding cards in sequence.

Here is an example of some packs, and the "Common 2 (COM2) sheet.

Print runs are sick. I maintained them for my first "Fantasy set" and balanced the table meta of commons/uncommons somewhat just through that design knob.

Sometimes, print runs are wild. Don't recall the set, but think it was 2010s era that had two sick black uncommons side-by-side on sheet.

they are huge for retro pokemon, to the point where a format is referred to as "Hare2" (Hareyuya2 is the Pokemon line of stores AFAIU).

fucking Saitou lol

I don't know if he is planning on going, but I have been eyeing it!

no worries! I requested but his response was not the confirmation for which I hoped. 😅 He figures the main event will probably eat most of his time.

A friend that loves IPA draft will be in attendance. I have asked him to draft your remaster!

(I am building something similar and want the insights. 😻)

Rarely log into MTGO to play cubes (but a sick, creative design likely gets me playing once with my dwindling play points). Was heavily enfranchised ~10 years ago.

Not enough high-profile #mtgweird mindset to expose masses to other cube experiences... & not sure how Daybreak runs Cube events now.
