Crunched some numbers and came up with 4 Lab/6 Imprints as the best split so I'm trying that out with more Talismans to compensate for the loss of green sources. Live in 5 at twitch.tv/ross_merriam

I was unsuccessful in getting a Creator Pass for MagicCon: Detroit, but I did manage to get an Early Bird Weekend Badge - so I'll see y'all there! I’m unsure of my plans yet - but expect an unofficial Pauper meet-up, much Canadian Highlander, and plenty of Ross Pro Tour-posting. 🥳 #MCDetroit

This card’s a real quiet sicko for Pauper that I feel like barely anyone’s talked about. Bogles gets to play this with both First Strike AND Trample. And if they somehow kill the Creature you get it back, which is important in a deck like Bogles with so few of them. This one rocks.

I would like to see more Lander tokens in Magic.
Lander
Token Artifact — Lander

{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: Search your library for a basic land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.

Went 2-3 in a five round (!!) Prerelease. Played Esper Control for the first two matches and then pivoted into Red-Green splashing black for removal. Green felt shallow originally, but apparently playing your bombs is the way. 🤷 Empower Jace is a super interesting design, though. #MTGFracture

The Legend of Kyoshi
{4}{G}{G}
Enchantment — Saga

(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter.)

I — Draw cards equal to the greatest power among creatures you control.

II — Earthbend X, where X is the number of cards in your hand. That land becomes an Island in addition to its other types.

III — Exile this Saga, then return it to the battlefield transformed under your control.Avatar Kyoshi
Legendary Creature — Avatar

Lands you control have trample and hexproof.

{T}: Add X mana of any one color, where X is the greatest power among creatures you control.

There isn't a ton I want from Reality Fracture, but Ajani's Anguish is a slam dunk for Anzrag. Such a clean bit of design. 👌 #MTGFracture

Draft this card face up.

As you draft a card, you may draft an additional card from that booster pack. If you do, put this card into that booster pack.

Why wait for answers?

Been feeling under the weather and spending a lot of time of bed lately. In an attempt to try and not go stir crazy, what was your "eureka" moment in Magic? This could be the moment you knew you wanted to play more Magic or could be a different moment (or cool play) altogether.

Been extensively testing this commander deck out with pods for the past few weeks so I feel comfortable enough to make a video about it. Hoping to make @emmapartlow.com proud with my take of abzan bunnies (It also means a lot because so many people gave me bunnies, can’t let them down lol)

Creature — Elephant Soldier

This spell can’t be countered.

If a spell or ability an opponent controls causes you to discard this card, put it onto the battlefield instead of putting it into your graveyard.

Started picking up some odds and ends for Karn, Gilded Guardian. I think I want a Bracket 4 deck since I have a couple of 2's already. Couldn't pass up buying a pile of Mirrodin basics, though.

the point of freeing yourself from the prison of ego is not getting there you’re not gonna do that. never gonna happen. the point is cultivating a practice of routinely asking “wait, I am too into my own shit here?” in every aspect of your dealings at least once or twice a day. anyhow good morning

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Hexproof (This creature can’t be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.)

Bogles are very tasty if you can get the skin off. It’s getting a blade on them that’s the problem.
