Think YOU can stand atop the Judge's Tower?
Or will you be crowned the most Forgetful Fish of them all at Dandân challenge? 🐟💭 #MTGCube

The latest noises from Western govts about recognising Palestine as a state are a worthless attempt to wash their hands of blood while rewarding Israel’s genocide with the disarmament of Hamas. There may not BE a Palestine by Sept, and there will certainly not be a Palestine if they have to disarm.

Huh did not know we still had one of these

Morning bath aka “act extra cute so mother will remember to give us breakfast” time 👯‍♀️

Packing level: expert

So, who's BEHIND all this Shoebox-ery? 👀
We're extremely fortunate to have an incredible roster of experienced staff from all corners of the Magic (and especially Cube) community!
Let's start off our staff highlights with a familiar face -- @niphette.bsky.social! 👏✨ #MTGCube

the cuuubiest cube

I once 3-0’d a LOTR draft by splashing Sauron in my GW hobbits deck

I want to clarify-- this is, barring catastrophe, the very final push for aid. Helping me here means I can support myself AND pass on the fortune once I have more breathing room. Are you upset about the rising threat to LGBTQ people? This is how.

I think my record is like 3 turns or something 😭😭😭

This sounds super fun! An interesting variant on team play

This is a good reminder, thank you. I do think it’s valid to feel pigeon-holed and condescended by the assumption that romance is the one thing that’s needed to appeal to women, which is equally a manifestation of the misogyny you’re describing

I also just saw the “poking into” in the next sentence 🤢

He probably thought he was being so funny as well. This is pissing me right off and I haven’t even gotten out of bed yet

That’s right Wizards, clearly the way to get more women playing is to cut the measly amounts of material support you were putting into projects that actually made a difference, and instead make pink mana or whatever this is going to end up being! Because that’s What Women Want!! 😘💖💖💖💗👌👍

"penetration with people who identify as female"

Woah, that is one of the most disgusting, old man executive terms to be described as

Also, I'm not just a Kpop and romance fangirl, I (and many others) are well-rounded humans with other hobbies and heaven forbid enjoy the magic IP.

What the fuck 😳

How am I supposed to function when Scryfall is down???

1/3 of people in Gaza haven’t eaten for several days in a row. Huge swathes of the population are facing famine conditions.

But this isn’t a famine. It’s forced starvation at the hands of the Israeli death machine. It’s genocide.

And our government is complicit.

One time I was extremely hungover in Alberta and I ordered a side of bacon, two slices of toast, and a side of gravy for breakfast so I could make my own butty. And a fruit cup, because, you know, healthy eating and all that

👀👀👀

Definitely a coincidence, but a happy one! 🥰

lmaoo

fr it feels easier to do three of them at once than one at a time and I can't explain that

(I can explain that)

(it's adhd)

LPT: I strongly advise against moving apartments, planning your wedding, and making a convention at the same time 🥲

fair fuckin play haha

lol WUT what kind of salon is this?!?

Cool hoodie and also sick jerseys in the background!! Haha I see what you did there with the framing

Tag urself I’m left ✨ emoji
