I haven't drafted Mystery Booster 2 or Final Fantasy before, so I'll try to do so at least once each during CommandFest Tacoma ✌️

Excited to see what happens. Will there moments of, "Oh, hey, I know you?" I'm prepared for and OK w/ radio silence 😅 It's been 5+ years since I was most active in Magic!

I haven't been to a Magic convention since February 2020, in Reno! Go easy on me, CommandFest Tacoma 😄

Taking it slow with re-immersing myself, so I:
- didn't build any new decks
- only updated ONE of my EDH decks with newer cards that I missed out on from the past few years

Fun to collab with a video game streamer community ^_^

Just for the sake of announcing a theme for Video Games Are Good's annual 24-hour stream event.

My partner and I make an appearance in this vid!

The Magic card Cruel Tutor, in a borderless, full-art printing that is a close-up of a human face. The rules text of the card is placed precariously over the upper life of this face.

Halloween Costume Idea:

Print out a paper mustache that says:

Sorcery
Search your library for a card, then shuffle and put that card on top. You lose 2 life.

The Magic card Power Play, mentions "you are the starting player"

The Magic card Power Play, mentions "you are the starting player"

The Magic card Gemstone Caverns, mentions "not the starting player"

The Magic card Gemstone Caverns, mentions "not the starting player"

Magic has the concept of "the starting player," by which you can refer to other players as not "the starting player."

What's the best term to use for rules text templating to refer to the player who is last in the turn order?

I'm workshopping this:
"You're (the) last (player) in (the) turn order"

- Author writes book.
- Book not consumer-friendly, just stacks of printed paper.
- Only 20 copies.
- I read book digitally. I love book.
- I want 1 of the 20.
- I could home print. Can read that way. But not trying to read book.
- I want 1 of the 20. Has history.
- Don't want fan-made jacket cover.

Yeah, each Bluesky post is sorta like a breadcrumb, with a thread like a trail of them 😄 Beautiful analogy.

Man, @wobbles.bsky.social is getting me in trouble 😭 I'm glad you asked me for clarity, @wubrg.bsky.social .

I can only imagine how many peeps are scrolling by their Bluesky feed, seeing my responses to Wobbles' ponderings on my earlier post, & making an incorrect assumption about my proxies ethos.

I don't understand what you mean.

- I play in a 100% proxies webcam league (for a different TCG, but same principle)

- I would proxy any of these Unknown / Playtest cards.

- I want to own a physical object that DOES represent a game piece but its physical nature isn't important to me for gameplay

Thank you for requesting this. This is magical, and I love that song. :)

Adding art would decrease the value I currently find with this card.

It doesn't matter how "beautiful" this thing looks.

It can look like it was written in MS Word, w/ zero graphic design & zero art, for all I care.

There is a Wizards-sanctioned card object out there that is making a statement by pure words alone that means something to my history as a Magic fan.

I also don't see a difference between a Bradley-printed Lightning Bolt & a Wizards-printed Lightning Bolt when it comes to playing games. 🍻

The Wizards-printed object has sentimental value to me whereas a Bradley-printed one does not.

Oh right the date is literally printed on the card lol 🤣

Wow! I didn't realize this cardc is that old!

Wow! I appreciate you taking the time to respond with a photo.

Looking forward to possibly looking at this card in person ✨ (You never know how schedules and such end up unfolding during the event, so I won't be getting my hopes too high. :) )

Oh shoot! Looking at your profile pic, it's also triggering hazy memories for me! Maybe a GP or MagicFest around Oakland?

Amazing! Great to have at least this hazy memory resurface ☺️

I'm having trouble parsing this sentence. Can you rephrase?
