It truly is a sad reflection of the world we live in today that this is a genuine question people are asking. Being patriotic shouldn't be relegated to a specific political party affiliation

Semi-retro tech gadgets. All of the variations of phone designs pre "smartphone rectangle" were awesome!

I'm not nearly as anti-UB as everyone else seems to be. But some upcoming crossovers have gone too far. The more that Magic becomes the everything game for everyone, the less of an identity it has as a game for anyone at all. I think that fear is at the core of the anti-UB push. #mtg #secretlair

Going on a short hiatus while I move. Should be back to streaming and uploading vids in a week or two. In the meantime, let me know if there's a deck/format you'd like to see me play. #mtg #magicthegathering

@magiconline.bsky.social I was just playing Vintage Dredge and it looks like there's a bug now where neither Creeping Chill nor Narcomoeba is triggering when put into the graveyard. I've also seen issues with not being allowed to dredge with an opposing Narset in play on occasion

My bigger concern is the future of the format and how things will look for eternal weekends this year. There was previously an understanding that a B&R would be on Sep 30. But this B&R now says the next announcement is Nov 24. Is this accurate? And will there be a chance of bans pre-EW?

@carmparens.bsky.social I personally think every deck having to pack so much grave hate to respect UB and oops while both decks have strong pivot plans that can juke hate is a problem. I appreciate your focus on the format and difference of opinion though (1/2)

Really missed the mark with Legacy; and with the next B&R being in the middle of EW's we can basically guarantee that we'll hear "we don't wanna make changes this close to major tournaments" in November. This was your chance, and now we're just stuck until 2026 at the earliest? Great...

Can we please get some clarification around B&R scheduling? There was previously an understanding that a B&R would happen every 3 months (June 30 and September 30). But this B&R now says the next announcement is November 24. Is this accurate? If so, why? What will be the cadence following that?

NO BANS IN LEGACY?!?!

That is quite frankly ridiculous. The fact they tried to justify it by reference a single challenge to justify the health of the meta when over the weekend the challenges had 12 top 8 placings for the deck... Just... What are they doing?

I understand maybe not lining up with all of the cards people were calling to ban in legacy but ZERO changes is insane!!

Some unfortunate life circumstances have popped up so I won't be able to upload a video or stream this week. Hoping to be back uploading the following week or so. Let me know if there is a deck you want me to play when I'm back

I can't wait!

Painter goes brrrr! 🔴🎨

Did we just become best friends?! Enjoy my Urza's Saga that can make constructs forever, but can't be Wastelanded! #mtglegacy

I like turtles - Commander (Archelos, Lagoon Mystic) A deck created using Moxfield.

In honor of world turtle day, here's a sneak peak of the turtle themed, bracket 1 EDH deck I'm building: moxfield.com/decks/ByEgXg...

All cards (apart from basics) must have a turtle and/or shell in the art. 🐢

I'll always enjoy Painter but it's fun to play other formats and experiment with different decks every so often to keep things fresh. I just played some #mtgmodern Eldrazi Tron on Twitch (more on Friday) and planning to play an off-meta deck for LGS #mtglegacy. Any thoughts on what it might be? 🤔
