I think what we are seeing is a growing number of players slowly being pushed over Magic's trust thermocline. Enshitification also seems accurate. There's a growing sense, at least locally to me, that the quality, value, etc. of Magic is rapidly falling while the price continues to go up.

My copy of the October issue of Tabletop Gaming arrived today. It’s nice to finally see the finished version of my article on Duel Masters and the modern TCGs inspired by it.
If you’d like to support my work, please consider heading over to their website and picking up a copy of the issue.

Bummer! I love the original Tron. The last sequel wasn't that great, but I had hopes for this one.

I take it the new Tron movie is not good?

Yikes! I've been meaning to get into the game for awhile (finally got my hands on a bunch of cards at a great price) but still need to get my hands on a rule book.

This has to be one of the best ads I've seen in years.

My first article for Tabletop Gaming Magazine is in the October issue, which is now available for purchase!

I explore how modern TCGs are tapping into the design of the most influential TCG since Magic – but it’s a game you’ve probably never heard of!

After a slow summer, we are back in the swing of things with a Primer for Marvel's Spider-Man!

Don't get me wrong, all three of those sets are a race to the bottom as far as the overall health of the game goes. Fun limited formats though!

Yuck!

If enough of us band together, maybe we can convince Wizards to make it so ;-)

If hero is a creature type again, its time to restore my girl to her title.

That might be a Boomer take, but I think this will go down in Magic history as one of the worst sets for the overall health of the game.

I've got no attachment to either the FF or Spiderman IPs. One of them was at least a full set, draftable and playable on Arena the same as on paper. The other feels slapped together last minute, and damages the future of digital MTG by not being the same online as it is in paper.

I loved it! It was very well done. They found an interesting way to tie all the interviews together.

I’d watch that YouTube video.

New episode is up! How powerful are Spacecraft? How big of a role will the warp mechanic play? What are Lander tokens? How often will Special Guests and Stellar Sights cards appear? All that and more, but remember, in the cold Void of space, no on can hear you complain you're mana screwed.
