JD, Bracket Builder

I met a player at my LGS who I only ever saw playing Bant decks.

They had a variety of decks and played several different formats, but only ever with Bant colors.

When I asked them why they never played black or red, they sighed wistfully and said "Well, I'd love to, but I'm Rakdos intolerant."

Apropos of nothing at all, Gamegenic makes the best accessories on the market and has tons of different color ways, including some of my favorites.

Picked this deck box up from @ultimateguard.bsky.social and I was so excited until I flipped it over. Looks like my art was extended with ai.

@magic.wizards.com needs to make sure their partners don’t do this.

I would have happily extended this for a couple hundred $$. Instead it looks awful!

If you get that working again I would love to use it!! It would save me a fair amount of time working on deck techs.

@evynfong.bsky.social I know artists don't usually get proofs for Universes Beyond, but is that the same for your secret lair arts from the Final Fantasy drop?

Thank you @magic.wizards.com for letting me preview Ashe, Princess of Dalmasca from FFXII! 💖 #mtgambassador #MTGxFinalFantasy
So, what do we think of Ashe? ✨

As promised here’s my preview card! Thank you Wizards for the free preview card for Final Fantasy! I never played XIV but I’m gonna do some work with this card in my Cloud deck! 😎#MTGxFINALFANTASY

I love when a random rules interaction spirals a board state out of wack. We had a game yesterday where someone’s Etali attacked and in response an Avenger Interrupter was played which made it so the Etali player couldn’t cast any of the free spells and that was awesome

This Card is nuts. I can't wait to play this as my commander #MTGXFinalFantasy #BracketBuilders #MTG #Commander

This card is a cool commander for bant counters as a kind of Ozolith in the command zone, you don't even have to use the mana Yuna makes to cast the creature spell so if you find a way to untap her you can stack the +1/+1 counters. #MTGxFinalFantasy #BracketBuilders #Commander

An interesting mono blue blink card that also doubles up endstep triggers! Those Overlords in standard are coming off suspend even quicker now! #MTGxFinalFantasy #Standard #Commander #MTG #BracketBuilders

Dark Confidant is BACK IN STANDARD!! This is now the second playable version of this effect in standard, and this one doesnt even require attacking! Mono Black is shaping up nicely with this, Cecil, and the Demons Package! #MTGxFinalFantasy #Standard #MTG #BracketBuilders

#1: Jeremy and I met through a college club that we ran together, but Kai joined the friend group through a mutual friend! We got into Magic as a group not long after when Jeremy recommended Kai and I to try the game. -JD

#3: Before playing a single game of commander, I bought a bundle of AFR thinking I would get most of the set in one box! Imagine my surprise when I got less than 10 packs and not even a quarter of the set! - JD

This is day one of the new channel that me and my friends are launching! We aren’t quite ready for full videos yet, but we have a lot of shorts and daily posts going live starting today!

The Calls of Regional Championship Bologna - Just A Babbling Brook Last weekend, I had the pleasure of working as one of the Appeals Judges at the Regional Championship in Bologna. It was a great time and I’d love to do it again, but it was also easily the busiest ev...

Brook Gardner-Durbin wrote about his weekend as Appeals Judge in Bologna. You should read this if you're going to be playing the Regional Championship.

"Cori-Steel Cutter was certainly the card of the tournament – and not in a good way. I had so many appeals about this card I lost count."

I was so convinced that we would get it in the last secret lair, but at MagicCon I joked about this w/ Evyn Fong and I wound up getting what might be my new favorite card:

“We have to abandon the culture of incrementalism” is one of the most hopeful sentences I’ve read in a while.
