Wow just a nameless friend huh. Celes is one of my favorite characters from my favorite FF, so she better be in a good home now!

After rotation got back in the standard leagues and building more Sarkhan decks. This Mardu build really leverages Neriv+Nova Hellkite combos and is a blast! Plays a lot like the BR Dragons deck back in DTK standard. #wotcstaff

The “deku solos street-tiers” meme is one of the most laser-targeted-for-me internet jokes in many years and I am so here for it. This image has me cackling every time

Glad to hear it! I also enjoy Void, trying to find clever ways to turn it on and get the most value is fun

I started playing The Witness for the first time and now my brains perception has been irreversibly altered

I think i saw a GDQ run of it once but haven’t played it. Is it available on switch?

What is this? Fan made kaizo level of something?

This is something that actually made me rage. So disrespectful and trying to take advantage of older people.

Card draw spells are hard to interact with because they don’t pass through the battlefield, unlike eg Phyrexian arena. If you can draw a ton of cards uninteractably and just bury your opponent on that axis, you can pick the slowest win condition imaginable.

No, the core conceit of the card was always looking at the top X where X=lands. But it didn’t always have kicker and varied how many cards you got to take.

High praise from a known UW-obsessed gamer!

Numbers Big! This is my favorite Spacecraft, it really conveys the "nuke it from orbit" feel. I think we only made a single change to this card ever, which is unusual. I've got some casual combo decks brewed up with Screaming Nemesis and Pain for All I'm excited to try out!

Biotech Specialist has been an integral part of some of the most fun FFL decks I've played in the last few years. I've always got a soft spot for cards that can deal ~12 damage out of nowhere, and the Specialist can certainly do that with enough setup.

Nova Hellkite looks unassuming, but there's neat synergies with Warp that makes it very fun. I will be building lots of Sarkhan Dragon Stompy decks when Edge releases :). I pitched the ability to add a small amount of utility in the right metagame. The art is also amazing!

Balancing card draw spells is difficult. Make it too easy to draw too many cards at once and there's no incentive to turn the corner and end the game. We changed Consult a million times, but I love the final card. It can find your 3rd land or give huge selection in the late game.

It's been a while since I've done a good ol'-fashioned design thread, so here are four of my favorite cards from Edge of Eternities #wotcstaff

man on the flying trapeze

Nope I got that one much faster!

I’ve been practicing (very easy) yo-yo tricks to show my 4-year old niece and I finally did an impressive-looking one twice in a row! She’s going to be in awe :)

Won some prizes at FNM tonight with a fun Goblins deck. Felt nice to get some use out of my Goblin Mountains :)

It’s not widely appreciated but I am in fact a man of many talents :)

Went 3-1 at FNM with this Sultai Dragons deck. Teval is a super fun card to walk the razors edge with. Casting a fully kicked Three Steps for 2 mana and only losing 1 life is quite the feeling. #wotcstaff

One of my like top five favorite things about life on planet Earth is happening this afternoon at 4:27pm Eastern at GDQ (twitch.tv/gamesdonequick) — incredible Mario players sight-reading custom levels. If you haven't ever watched something like this before, I cannot recommend this enough.

Edge of Eternities Design: Allusions vs. Tropes What are allusions and tropes? How do they affect Magic design? And how did Ethan Fleischer bring his passion for space-opera literature to Edge of Eternities?

Great article from @ethanfleischer.bsky.social. This is something I think about constantly with Magic (especially the last few years) and where the line is when an allusion goes too far.
