One minute of a soulful piece of writing is worth 5000 hours of slop. Keep fighting the good fight

I consider myself very lucky to have opened awesome cards at this Pro Tour draft!

I’d argue Giada has two!!

andrewvt.bsky.social @andrewvt.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
No. I would’ve heard. Easy fix, let’s call up Jadzi.

Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy? The Living Guildpact, that Jace?

Congrats! Keep making stuff. I like it all

The best way to play this is with a friend irl who is just “little brother”-ing you and spectating and commenting

The most popular magic format, by far is “cards you own.” That’s why OG Future Sight flopped hard even though competitive players, loved it, too complex

Wandering Ones, which I believe has the best flavor text in the history of the game youtu.be/-JbKAgPuiDY

Make sure the volume is up!

It does a good job blanking the first removal spell they cast afterward!

My attendance at Eternal Weekend this year depends entirely on if Fantasticar is banned in Legacy. Not super interested in taking 16 damage turn 1 over and over. It’s just the new Oops but with much better support, aka “a deck that should definitely not exist at top tables” in a healthy metagame

From your lips to gods ears My fear is vintage only then throw legacy to the wolves

andrewvt.bsky.social @andrewvt.bsky.social · 02/08/2026
It’s a lot of fun! NYC also has a great legacy FNM scene with lots of people happy to lend out decks!

Konami would reference this in some of their other games…

Any decks you’ve seen that have been kind of unexpected?

andrewvt.bsky.social @andrewvt.bsky.social · 27/07/2026
These are all on gold World Championship blanks, for a vintage cube. Bazaar and Mishra’s Workshop are by the very talented @modflyalters.bsky.social! The Gilded Drake is by a friend of mine named PokeSoap on IG. I figured Charizard would be a perfect flavor fit for a card you trade away!

So which deck would you like to play more, but is currently a bit weak?
000
andrewvt.bsky.social @andrewvt.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
If you could design a card to make one of the weaker decks in pauper more interesting, what would you design?
000
andrewvt.bsky.social @andrewvt.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
Yes, it was explained to me that different stores had different pins to give out with sales or purchases, and the guy from TOA had specifically gone for Loot as it was a “good one” lol
010
andrewvt.bsky.social @andrewvt.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
Possibly from the blind bags? I have a 3D loot pin with similar art.

I’ve always been told the best thing when downsizing like this is to try to convert it into one other thing. “Sold my collection to pay bills” mentally doesn’t ring as nicely as “sold my collection to pay for master’s degree / new fridge” etc etc Hope it takes a weight off you worrying!

andrewvt.bsky.social @andrewvt.bsky.social · 05/07/2026
If you play this turn 1, great! Drawing it turn 5 feels a little bad. Classic design

Does the article cut off in the last sentence?

andrewvt.bsky.social @andrewvt.bsky.social · 05/07/2026
I specifically chose not to attend this week due to Fantasticar. It’s showing up in doomsday, tempo, storm, and also now just spawning its own archetypes. A card insanely powerful and ubiquitous with terrible fast play patterns that have zero counter?
000
andrewvt.bsky.social @andrewvt.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
I would love to know what the most representative cards are at each bracket! It would be fascinating to be like “these 5 cards really only appeared in bracket 3” etc etc Or alternately, are there cards that are like unicorns and only appear in their respective brackets.

Dark mode vs light mode type stuff?

That’s less important for a short story contest for example. But I’d argue academia has the issue of falsifying data / experiments to deal with first. There won’t be a watermark if a foreign student uses AI to rewrite a concluding sentence into more easily understood language, for example.

andrewvt.bsky.social @andrewvt.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
Everything needs to get read at some point. But if there’s 30,000 entries and 500 get flagged as 95-100% AI, those just get read with a cursory glance. The goal is not to be perfect, just to really try to get that time back. What sorts of essays or stories were flagged in your example?

andrewvt.bsky.social @andrewvt.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
Pangram (which a lot of teachers use) is very good at detecting AI in the sense you could put 10,000 human written stories in and it would only flag around 1, so very few false positives. It’s a start Basically, just set aside those stories that are over a certain threshold of suspicious.

Is the next banlist only a month away? Legacy would be way healthier without this guy

Wait until the professor uses it to build a merfolk deck in his latest video

I am down on the record as a huge AI hater, as an English teacher. In the first month of my 20$ Claude subscription, I’ve probably saved my colleagues around 50 hours of work formatting documents, organizing student data to make it easier to understand, and using it as a Google Drive assistant.

The real answer is that the Suess estate is strangely overprotective and for example, his elderly wife only let Illumination remake The Grinch because she personally liked the minions so much.

Might be acknowledging the secondary market if they do that, they would have to do something like: choose one creature, one sorcery, one enchantment etc

Question: if I input a complex commander list in your site, will it explain some of the packages to me???
