Derek (Mana Critics)

My favorite cosplay at MagicCon Atlanta so far @tymhn.bsky.social

And thank all that’s holy you did

@mtgcritical.bsky.social said it best - I’m so mad that I’m gonna buy a bunch of this

October set. Made a huge production about not being able to tell us anything, but Maro assures there’s a huge innovation they weren’t sure they could pull off.

I’m kind of a Universes Beyond hater, but this one’s exciting

J/k, Squirrel Girl crushed it

Out of everything shown from the next Marvel set, the preview panel audience was easily most excited about these villians 😅

The novel doesn’t replace the web-published stories, it’s in addition to 😄

Secrets of Strixhaven - theme is “the step right after college”, exploring some of the plane outside of the campus. But, new characters just arriving at the school, so I guess at least *some* of the set is still in Strixhaven. Also, we’re getting a new by *Seanen* ****ing McGuire!!!!1!

Llorwyn First Light - Llorwyn in DnD, coming out in late November, but sounds like it’s digital only? Hopefully this means juicy worldbuilding for us Vorthos’, though.

New “Draft Night” product, containing product for a 4-player pick-2 draft. “Curated for 4 or 8 player draft experience.” They say they’re planning to keep doing these for all sets going forward.

If I’d known this was what Atlanta was about, I would have brought Emrakul

Ozur made this song and let me help and then Ozur and @jettyfox.bsky.social made a video out of it and it’s so exciting and nerdy and I love it so much please watch it kthx

We have both stared at it for a while, and have no ideas 😅. Pursued Whale got me stuck on Moby Dick, but…that’s not a song

I sang it at Andy when I played the card. He tolerated it.

I don’t often play red…but when I do, I’m absolutely running trash like Goblin Warrens. Bonus Zoyowa.

Doing nerd stuff for which I am underqualified

@mariahtekulve.bsky.social Beautiful work!

I really love how my eye is drawn to the big flower in the foreground, then (because it's out of focus) slides right to the sitting figure, and then I follow her gaze to the prone figure, and then I see what she's doing with her hands, and the flowers end up tying the whole thing together.

I've been out of touch - is the Vorthos community liking Through the Omen Paths?

I love this one in particular (enough to immediately buy something from the artist's online store) - I realize non-combative art stands out largely because it's in a game about conflict, but it still stands out.

Have I accidentally become the bad guy from the first Care Bears movie?

Ponder iiiiit

I’m sure it’s fine either way, but you should call it yours “sussy baka” instead of “mid.”

[my 7 year old pulled this term out of nowhere last night, and I’m…processing it]

Checkmate, Wizards

I adore this

PRIME TIME is in the set?! I poured over the main set for a good bit over the past week, but somehow totally missed that the bonus sheet was present. I guess I thought it was Collector Booster only! Full of delights.

2-1 prerelease. Was undefeated until the last match, when I ran up against a rival Bahamut! Of all the ways to lose, that was a pretty silly-fun one.

Dragon’s Lair Austin has some good security for their prerelease kits. I know I’m not gonna try to steal from a Tonberry

Horde Magic - Limited Edition 2.1 - dsmootz A Magic the Gathering PvE variant for a single player using a Limited (Draft or Sealed) deck.

Yeah, my thing is basically "Horde for Draft/Sealed decks". It's been a few years since I touched it, but I made it all pretty when I was: homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/_5UrN0...

It's also got links to articles about OG Horde Magic
