I was soooo close to getting Mythic this season, but I kept yo-yoing in Diamond 1 and couldn't quite seal the deal. #wotcstaff

"Oops all Batterskulls."

I think I ended the game last night with 12? #wotcstaff

Symbol Status {2}{G}{G} Sorcery Create a 1/1 colorless Expansion-Symbol creature token for each different expansion symbol among permanents you control. “Everyone break into teams. Weaponry, you’re with me. Nature group, meet by the palm tree. Stoneworks and metalworks, follow the anvil. Everyone else, gather around the giant V.” —Sword of Kaldra Illustrated by Liz Danforth

I remember toying around with a stipulation commander deck where each card had a different set symbol....mostly as an excuse to play Status Symbol.

Easier than I thought, but a whole cube? Godspeed. #wotcstaff

Curved out in my last ECL draft...the synergy is real. #wotcstaff

Appreciated!

Not to brag or anything, but I paid a stupid amount of money for a professional pics done.

Gonna get those brain glamour shots.

If they don't find you handsome...

Now I wanna watch some the Red Green Show eps.

Correct.

Now you got me thinking about describing movies using video game terminology.

Groundhog Day is a roguelike horror with dating sim elements.

Aurora Awakener for 5 into Omni-Changeling might be the best feeling I've ever had in a draft. #wotcstaff

Prerelease is one of my favorite events.

It's an event where all kinds of players get to experience something new together. Even better if the store treats it like a celebration—love decorating and dressing up for prerelease.

I remember seeing a little kid trip at a MagicCon and in the moment of shock where they're realizing what happened, I quickly motioned to the adults and gave the kid a booster pack.

Complete shift from getting worked up to being excited about getting a free booster. #wotcstaff

In a players mind, what does it mean to spend 4 mana?

3 mana? That's basically 2 mana. 2 mana is two mana, but one mana is basically free.

5 mana is kind of like 6 mana, but 7 mana is 10 mana.

Washington State residents: they’re trying to pull online age verification bullshittery here too. This bill would require people to upload their ID/credit card to view online adult content. You can complain to your reps here: app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2112

Slightly diminish a band:

Blink 181

Look, I just met the Gastrals and Esquie. Hard to believe it gets better.

Finally started playing Clair Obscure...and y'all weren't joking about how good it is.

I've been avoiding spoilers, but damn has it hit *just right* so far.

It's got that Warhammer 40,000 aesthetic.

Or the generic store brand version of Doctor Sleep.

Cube Cobra Overview: Imposter Syndrome This is a brand new cube!

My buddy Noah built it: cubecobra.com/cube/overvie...

I'm not gonna do the math, but I think some of those scaling name-matters cards would often lead to very unfun games.

Could be good includes in a wacky cube where Omnipresent Imposter is a 1-of though!

The meme is Brian and says: the crushing weight of two extremely manageable tasks at once

Flipping Throne of the Grim Captain was everything I dreamed of.

Omnipresent Impostor {2} Basic Creature — Shapeshifter Changeling Omnipresent Impostor has all card names. As you search your library for one or more cards, you may choose Omnipresent Impostor as one of those cards. (For example, if you search for two land cards, you may find Omnipresent Impostor and a land card.) 2/1 Illustrated by Francois Dery

Playing Imposter Cube—a cube packed with Omnipresent Imposters and cards that take advantage of that. #wotcstaff

Riding ferries kicks ass.

Joke answer: cards with "Ascendant" in their name.

2000: 1
2003: 1
2005: 5
2007: 1
2010: 1
2021: 2
2022: 2
2025: 3

An upward trend of 2-3 in recent years versus 0-1 (not counting an outlier) isn't "often", but it's a fun coincidence. #wotcstaff

Your gaming is too powerful.

I'm never gonna draft a TLA deck as crazy powerful as this one. #wotcstaff

My American mind has no clue how they claim no artificial flavors on a product that's 50% shelf-stable cheese powder.

Or finally transcended.
