I guess the proliferation of alliteration means you'd sometimes have to shift to a different letter:

The Minister Mix
Barnage, Brimson Bhaos

It would help if the card names on Arena/MagicOnline were easy to match to their offline counterparts. So I propose:

Octor Doctopus, Plaster Manner
Slider-Span, Meb-Winger
Pider-Spunk
Bider-Spot
Gwider-Fren, Spree Spirit
Kenom, Bling in Vack
Amazing Mider-Span
Wider-Wyte, Speb Barden
Pity Cigeon

On paper, Magic still knows the difference between a "face-up thing" and a "thing that's face up."

Is a "horizontal heirarchy" an oxymoron plus typo, or is it some entirely new but, presumably, hereditary thing?

Thank you! I can't see it when logged in. But if the post has not been deleted but this is rather just an effect of X's increasingly crumbling infrastructure, then that's two good pieces of news at once.

Second draft, second trophy, but only 7-2, mainly due to wonky mana base.

First draft with #MTGEternities, first trophy, EZ 7-0.

Secret all-star was Kavaron Turbodrone, enabling all kinds of warp and tapped synergiesโ€”all while killing the opponent at speed, whereas station proved a little "stationary" in comparison. (Kavaron itself was still a gas Planet of course.)

I'm doing research for an article. Does anyone here have a link to (or version of) the post/image that adapted xkcd.com/2347/ for Magic, with everything held up by Scryfall?

No. That is just literal Hitler playbook: plausible deniability to some degree but also a constant challenge to underlings who vie with each other to be seen as the most useful/loyal.

Their own card may not be explicit about them being lovers, but the flavor text of this other card here is. (Someone at Wizards once confirmed that it references the same mythical founding daddies of Meletis.)

Actual gayest shit in Magic is the current mulligan rule. (It says you have to put 1, 2, 3 cards on the bottom before taking your 2nd, 3rd, 4th mulligan. So โ€ฆ according to the very rules, almost all players don't bottom enough.)

Am I losing my ability to see or does this article, with a headline focusing on the deck rather than the player, not contain a list of said deck?
