everyone is focused on the "edh players are slop hungry pigs" part of the thing that guy wrote, but I'm pretty interested in the "competitive players are fine diners who have kept this restaurant alive for generations" angle of it

Got myself a beautiful loved playset of Mishraโ€™s Factory. A very nostalgic card from when I built my first Magic deck and Iโ€™m happy to be reunited with them even if I may never get a chance to play with them.

Merfolk is super fun in Premodern! Been playing casually on the side to refine this deck and I'm having a blast!

I just trophied with Legacy Merfolk! ๐Ÿ 

This list felt amazing. Got some Hullbreacher snipe action and killed a saga with Harbinger. Hexcatcher was MVP for sure.

I'll post the video tonight. It will be in Japanese though if that's cool. The first video on my Japanese channel. @fireshoes.bsky.social

This is a rare moment in history where you can play the same deck competitively from Standard, Pioneer, Modern, to Legacy. All Kaito Dimir Tempo.

I have nothing in mind, but I want Modern to have the option to nuke a big problem if it exists instead of making us suffer for months or even a year.

Even monthly B&R announcements would be better.

I am once again hoping for Wizards R&D to unban emergency bans.

Reminder that card power level is very dependent on the format itโ€™s played.

Sowing Mycospawn to Modern players: โ€œyeah itโ€™s whateverโ€

Sowing Mycospawn to Legacy players: โ€œTHIS IS BROKEN. How could Wizards print this? Ban it! What were they even thinking!? Un-print immediately!โ€

Mono red aggro? Ideally they are dead before they cast this cast.

Organized Play Can't Exist Without Judges | Commander's Herald Would Magic be Magic if not for judges? Longtime judge Elliot Raff goes to bat for judges in light of recent discourse.

Seems like a decent time to remind people that I wrote an article about the woes of judges as it relates to Organized Play last year.
We're fighting a losing battle. Nothing has changed and it seems unlikely to.

Congratulations to @emmaskyeward.bsky.social for cashing with the best performing Merfolk deck at #RCCharlotte!

Funny thing is that her list is based on this 5-0 where I accidentally won with 3 Phantasmal Images sideboarded; they are sort of useless. So she impressively cashed with a 72 card deck.

Standard is maybe possible because this acts like a lord in a format where there arenโ€™t many. (Sorry about the late reply, I just learned my notifications were turned off)

Itโ€™s the hero Modern deserves, but not the one we need right now.

You know, in some way I think the experimentation of all the new cards shoved into the twin decks are probably hurting it more than helping it. So in this case, maybe removing too many sacred cows removed the identity of the deck :P

Unbanning Splinter Twin was a mistake.

The illusion that it was the best Modern deck ever, unjustly imprisoned on the ban list, was better than unbanning it and ruining its legacy by being utterly unplayable.
