Red Elemental Blast

The card I would love my dog to be has already been done!

I’ll peruse the archives to see if anything stands out.

You have my attention

10… 11… er I guess 12? 13 magic cards to get to know me? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A little birthday present to myself because I deserve nice things.

RomancingTheStones - Twitch The home of Magic's greatest formats in Austin, Texas.

I didn’t make the top 4 of the Romancing the Stones Schools Out! Middle School webcam league, but that means I get to be in the booth when we stream the top 4 tomorrow at 9pm EST!

Catch us on twitch as we bring you the final 4 players of this league!

Ended the most recent Romancing the Stones Middle School Webcam league 5-1 with the latest update to what I’m calling Rob Red until someone gives me a better name.

I added Cave-Ins this time and they slotted in beautifully. Go figure that free spells are good!

Top 8 to follow!

Congrats to those from the Romancing the Stones crew who went to the Oklahoma Land Run and finished 17th, 12th, 11th, 10th, and 3rd in the vintage event today. 🤘

I heard there were over 100 people in the event today.

I love being part of a local community this strong!

Long live webcam leagues.

Today’s BnR announcement reads like…

I did record this event. I’m working on removing the downtime and hope to rebroadcast it in the next week or two, family life permitting!

Also, can we get a round of applause for reaching 38 vintage events in this long running local series? Good job RTS!

The list and other top 8 decks: mtgtop8.com/event?e=7029...

Managed to make the top 8 of the Romancing The Stones 38 Vintage Event with 29 players. I played a UR Breach deck that featured some new FF cards. I wanted to sleeve up a vivi and found the list featured on @iamactuallylvl1.bsky.social stream.

I played 74/75 and had a lot of fun.

Happy Father’s Day to those who celebrate.

Really looking to get my shit together and start playing magic again.

Dad life is great, but dad life plus magic life is 💥💥💥

Your intermittent reminder that you have an REB emoji on your phone.

What is sicko con?

Finally getting around to talk about this cool mail day. Managed to find copies of these cards from the board game Warlock. The art served as the art for the original playtest card for REB.

A friend of mine has started calling my kiddo BEB, pronounced B(eh)-BE(e), short for baby.

I’m not sure if I should be offended or impressed.

Recently acquired another play test REB. This time a Canadian Gamma Play Test card.

Stoked to add it to the collection!

All of these pale in comparison to the gift that is my beautiful baby girl. She only just arrived but has already stolen my heart.

As a member of the newly minted Beta Generation, it seemed only fitting to share some of her heritage with her.

Yes!

As the story goes, when Richard received his proofs, he didn’t think anyone would be interested in them. They eventually were thrown out, having only given out a handful.

Now they are hard to find because they literally do not exist in the same numbers as other proofs.

Another gift to myself at the end of last year was this Italian proof. It is my first proof of a Richard Thomas REB that isn’t M30.

Richard Thomas proofs are very difficult to find and I feel lucky I was able to snag this when it became available! I’ll need to get him to sign and sketch it!

One of the gifts to myself at the end of last year was a complete set of signed Pyroblast Proofs. Not quite REBs, but certainly the same vibes.

Richard Thomas proofs were mostly destroyed so it is difficult to find any REB proofs. These do a good job of scratching that itch.
