At this point, my grail is a boring one but it's a practical one:

All 10 ABUR duals - currently on 6 out of 10 with the ones that produce red left to acquire. MagicCon Amsterdam will hopefully be the ticket to get those 4.

C.S.C. brings you a 2nd group of Girudo Ambassadors ready to show off their decks!

Joining the pod this week:

Joe Kilcarr - @joekilcarrva.com
Kaede Usagi - @usagikaede1.bsky.social
Nasim from FAF - @findingafourth.bsky.social

Check out the action this Sunday on Twitch or spectate on Girudo!

Help if you can, signal boost if you can't, friends! 💙

Ah man, that probe looking sick too

The 9 cards that made/represent me

Here’s mine.

Scrubland was the first ABUR dual I got, Wheel was the first reserve list item, the three legends I am known for locally (Mayael was the power creep button in 2013), Delay is something more people need to run, my namesake then the pocket ace and a new favourite wrath.

Baleful Strix

Yo, which secret lair is this from?! This is so dope!

The world sucks.

I'm raising money for @translifeline.org for @cmdrsealed.bsky.social. I set a stupid goal I'll never hit. Lol
I'm not gonna raise barely anything compared to the Prof lol.

If you can give awesome. The world sucks but we can still to do good .

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

This idiot just 1v9s people with such ease - it is comical

I remember a game where I had a Wheeliod deck and 2 people cloned the wheeliod - it was messy.

A circular logo with a red and black border and white background on the center circle, with a red lighting/flame shame interlocked with a black brush stroke making the shape of a skull, reminding of both red and black mana symbols from Magic. On the black frame it reads "THE GATHERING" on top and "ANTIFASCIST" below.

I will forever treasure that time someone told me "the best part about Magic is The Gathering".
And I believe in a MTG community free of fascists.
So with the help of some friends I made this design, and I'm sharing it with you all so you can print it, share it or do whatever you want with it

You. Can't. Copyright. Stolen. Content.

Fuck GenAI & Fuck the UK Government for even thinking about this.

A meme of a summoning circle with the words "Catastrophic Gen Ai Bubble Collapse" in the center.

One day this stupid thing will work.

Wait a minute......

I find AI companies clear intent to use an abuse the UK for all it's worth then bounce, and the UK government allowing it because they think it'll make them rich fascinating.

It's like watching children be tricked out of their candy. But their candy is an entire nations wealth and lively hood.

If you’re part of any creative groups, unions or other organisations in the uk you should be passing news like this along and spreading the world. News like this gets has the chance to be overlooked but if enough organisations kick up a fuss things can change.

200,000 pesky Green Menaces and counting!! 💚

Welcome to the Party!! 🎉

Let's transform our country together 🕊️🙏🏽🌎

This is also my take whenever shit happens

People who talk to me know my stance on things that happen, I'm not just gonna post on it for clout if I don't have anything meaningful to add to the discussion

100%
I feel both angry and helpless all the time, but my ass posting that on the socials won’t help anything.

Just gonna focus on the work, and hope it can make someone feel calmer for a few minutes.

A buncha internet funny people don't owe you takes on every bad world event.

We should make sure our people know we stand on fucking business - I DO think you're a coward trying to remaining neutral when there's children being bombed - but no amount of posting is gonna magically make things BETTER.

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it

we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

Haven't had the absolute dream of either Cloud (Midgar) or Riptide Gearhulk carrying the thing yet but likely will soon

i second this, especially for the smaller sets. the UB commander decks from the last few years have been full of really cool designs and tend to be nice micro environments, and designers don't have to worry about how to support them in limited.

Weekend being weekending - two new cards for Dragonlord Ojutai (my boi) worked well, Buster Sword especially. Quinn was right about that thing - by a lot.

I'm enjoying the fact that people are happy with the set.

As for me personally, there's no hook. I read through the set and nothing jumped out. I intended to skip the set anyway so that's no issue. Shifting to solely maintaining the decks I have this year and it's an adjustment for sure.

The set's honestly...there for me.

I made peace with the fact that it exists as a set but there's no hook. No reason for me to grab anything from it and that's ok.

Hey you! Yes, you!

Got some video editing work that needs doing? Hire this man!

I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.
