The Cardboard Ledger: 2025 Rob reviews the tape on 2025; the highs, the lows, and what cards we'll be thinking about when 2025 is long behind us.

Every December, I pull up every card printed that calendar year & start Remembering Some Guys. It’s a more intense undertaking by the year, but scrolling through & recalling how you felt when a card was revealed or when it first hit the table? Rewarding.

yes! maybe we take for granted that almost every magic card is used. what else in our lives do we unequivocally buy that is previously owned? so cool to imagine the lineage.

I got into Legends of Runeterra for a minute and one day I logged on and I had a deck that didn't function remotely the way it did the day before, and I logged off forever. Magic being ever-changing but not being all that agile in changing is a huge part of the game's beauty.

i've been thinking about how magic could never, ever be founded post-2005ish, that it had to be made exactly before the internet but grow and flourish through it, and its main logistical drawback (physical cards) will become its most enduring quality against an increasingly ephemeral digital era.

Really enjoyed Rhystic Studies' look at Fallen Empires, a set very dear to me. Sam speculates that Homarid Explorer in Dominaria may have been inspired by a puzzle sent to R&D by @loreleywrites.bsky.social, though notes that Loreley dismisses this theory. I can shed some light! (🧵)

Small @rhysticstudies.bsky.social tee restock!

When all was said n done, we had about 25 extra tees around the Stitcher’s Supply offices. We’ve put them up for sale. When they’re sold out, they’re sold out.

Fallen Empires was an abject disaster that should’ve killed Magic dead. 31 years have passed. We're all still here.
