Quietly settling royalties to a single translator after plaigarizing their work for flavor text is so much like licensing Paramount franchises

Playing in my first cube tournament on Saturday. Despite my low skill and nonspike attitude, I need to study since top 8 gets to draft Ohio

Not trying to be a bummer, but my immersion was broken in today's story by Gaddock Teeg incessantly asking every other character "How much did that cost?"

A good chunk of the New Testament could have been skipped if, at the Last Supper, Jesus initiated the kill rubric in Judas' titan engine to charge soul bombs that could destroy Hell

Text on the image reads: Chapter 1: Out of This Wood. Behind, a large figure that looks almost draconic until you get to the head, stands amidst a sky of purple and blue. The head of the figure is a whirl of clouds with an eclipsed light sitting in the middle.

The first episode of the #MTGLorwyn story, penned by @seananmcguire.bsky.social, is here! Four first-year Strixhaven students stumble through an Omenpath to a strange new world.

The first would be the interpretation of stalling. The new definition would be that a player has to play at a pace to finish the game on time. This means that a player can not play slow at the first, middle, or later stages of the game. Andrew Finch you can play a slow deck but can not play it slowly. This is all up to the Judges to interpret.

The second item was a change in the card sleeve rule. As of September 1st a player will no longer be allowed to ask an opponent to de sleeve. The ramifications of this are apparent. Worn cards are now allowed and not considered marked. Alpha cards are up in the air and the official stance on these will be announced August 1st. The Tommy Hovi rule is still being considered, i.e. a player can force an opponent to sleeve. This will not take effect this year.

Part two of the meeting will be written later this week. The main focus of this discussion was the lap dance that Mike Long had with his Cadaverous Bloom.

The annual DCI meeting includes a floor rules change where players can no longer ask their opponents to desleeve their decks.

Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos (Magic: The Gathering) Peek inside Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos (Magic: The Gathering)

If you want to support Magic Story and see Magic’s own IP be successful enough that it can’t be ignored, one of the easiest things you can do is preorder Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos. If you can’t do that, or already have, share the book’s website so others can:

I'll happily cede on the months-ahead timing of it! Why wouldn't you preview those this week, get the hype built for orders, then do a non-preview episode next to simply clear the way for Eclipsed

I see folks who want Magic IP supported and given breathing space.

Lorwyn Eclipsed stories start Monday, then Tuesday WeeklyMTG is showing Marvel Super Heroes previews.

Now, I don't expect story to be sole community focus for a full week. But can you try NOT stomping out your own story with UB?
