i asked my wife who has the three elven rings of power during the lord of the rings and after a long moment of consideration she came up with “liv tyler’s dad,” “the lady elf,” and “the main dude.”

someone walks in my front door and then 100 minutes later, 32 years of my life are gone. sold my entire magic collection, 63 duals, tabernacle, foil cradle and monolith and wheel and so much more. trying not to cry even if i know it was the right decision.

Looks like Apple is doing to discontinue Rosetta 2 support after the next couple years, which I guess makes sense because most apps switched to being Apple Silicon native years ago. (except for Arena, which is still broken unless you run it with the much slower Rosetta 2 mode)

I've been playing Historic since the beginning of the format, and I think this may well be the worst meta I have ever seen. The fact that the recent B&R announcement didn't even mention the problematic cards (Sorin/Elendra) has me convinced that Wizards simply doesn't care about the format at all.

i don't tweet about magic often these days, but suffice to say: i don't think it will ever again design a more broken Bo3 Historic deck.

39-7, plagon is a fair magic card that draws 6 cards for 3 mana.

is it called science FICTION because there’s no bureaucracy? or excel spreadsheets?

i stopped posting on @bsky.app a year and a half ago because they didn't do polls yet. now i'm back and it's still not a supported feature. is it too much to ask for a social media website to have polls with five options, so i can ask what the best magic color is†? †it's blue

IF YOU'RE A MAGIC PLAYER AND NOT FOLLOWING ME YET you probably use Bluesky at work or in public in which case kudos for your good judgment.
