Excited to see things coming together!

Live long (enough to become the villain.)

One of my hot takes is "strong color requirements for 1-2 color cards is good".

Love having cool cards that reward fewer colors. #wotcstaff

....riiiiight. Derp.

Dryad Arbor Color Indicator: GreenLand Creature — Forest Dryad (This land isn’t a spell, it’s affected by summoning sickness, and it has “{T}: Add {G}.”) “Touch no tree, break no branch, and speak only the question you wish answered.” —Von Yomm, elder druid, to her initiates 1/1 Illustrated by Eric Fortune

Inevitable Betrayal Color Indicator: BlueSorcery Suspend 3—{1}{U}{U} (Rather than cast this card from your hand, pay {1}{U}{U} and exile it with three time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost.) Search target opponent’s library for a creature card and put that card onto the battlefield under your control. Then that player shuffles. Illustrated by Franz Vohwinkel

How do you feel about Discover 0 into no mana cost suspend card? Too cheeky? #wotcstaff

Can confirm—Mary Kathryn is an absolute gem of a person.

Getting to work with incredible folks like her is one of the best perks of the job. #wotcstaff

The trick is getting the fun deck good enough that you can do the fun stuff. Mana, card flow, answers. #wotcstaff

Tempted, but I got a bit too much on my plate for another con so soon.

Hope you have a good time!

View from Above {1}{U} Instant Target creature gains flying until end of turn. If you control a white permanent, return View from Above to its owner’s hand. “This air feels so heavy and thick.

Some of my faves. #wotcstaff

I had a guy TRY to start a fight with me outside the Waffle House. Almost counts?

- 4 games of Commander
- 2 MB2 Drafts
- 2 Unknown Sealed events

Top left drawer.

Couldn't even wait until you got back to the office, huh?

I saw you pass by and wanted to call out how sharp you looked!

Super happy for ya!

I dunno, looks like a mull.

Here ya go. #wotcstaff

And by FOEND, I mean FIEND.

Two things to know about me:

1.) I'm a FOEND for Unknown events.
2.) Matching things up to folks who'd appreciate them is awesome.

Asking @maro254.bsky.social questions about magic designs and HIS OWN BLOG is a special kind of hubris. #MCAtlanta #wotcstaff

I'm half convinced there was some sort of failed cloning experiment in the late 80's and we're all just Danny Devitos from Twins—didn't make the cut for super soldier.

Oh yeah, I get that a lot.

bsky.app/profile/mtga...

I'm not usually a meet and greet kinda guy!

But it turns out that the kind of folks who'd wait in line for cool people are fun to talk with.

As a long-time @briamgilbert.bsky.social enjoyer and recent @ifycomedy.com aficionado, meeting BOTH of them at #MCAtlanta was such a treat. #wotcstaff

I need himb. #wotcstaff

Can confirm. Is cool. #wotcstaff

Landlând for Dandân. #wotcstaff

I heard that too, but not sure *where* in the Omni. It's a big place!
