Chandra is the only founding member of the Gatewatch who isn't dead or desparked. I hope we get to see her processing that. #MagicTheGathering #Vorthos

The following things are both true: 1) The Survey (TM) was apparently for finding potential MTG playtesters and was asking about familiarity with IPs. 2) It is reasonable to go completely feral anytime someone in a suit even whispers the name of the Shitty Wizard IP, to keep that rail electrified.

Hey, y'all. "Innocent until proven guilty" is a term intended for the court system, where a defendant isn't guilty 'til a trial finds them to be so. It doesn't mean that you don't use your own fucking common sense & good judgment to stay away from bad people. You're not imprisoning them. Thanks.

My favorite Echoverse variant is Titanbones, who was originally named MEGABONES, all-caps included. It's a very silly concept shift but I find it very satisfying

Eugenics is the tool of the oppressor. We do not need it. We will not use it. Hate to break it to you, but this means: Mentioning “the gene pool” The concept of IQ and BMI Standardized tests “Gifted” AND “special” education Rawdogging viruses “Social Darwinism” “Effective altruism”

This is why I’m continually sad that the community settled on Bluesky instead of something like Mastodon. I know the mod team for my Mastodon server. I have a personal relationship with them. I know for a fact they’re pro-trans, and that they put up with exactly zero terf nonsense.

Scryfall is redefining what a card being "full-art" means in search, and adding a new term: Translucent. Since the introduction of the is:default and is:atypical designations, one issue has surfaced from their definitions: cards with translucent frames (Eldrazis) were not showing up as "default". 🧵

Reality Fracture might be "The Jace Set", but it finally lets me upgrade my 'Oops All Chandra' deck to it's intended form - 101 portraits of Chandra Nalaar; A commander deck where every single card has a picture of Chandra on it.

Astounded and pleased by how much mileage DB has gotten out of "Tucson or Bust". The 22 year old me who wrote it thought it would be forgotten after a week, and it's turned into an anthem lasting almost two decades. Life is bizarre.

Remember when we spent a year of people being obnoxious because they had to look at one (1) card per set of the same Legend, complained loudly because they thought Magic had a new main character, and then acted like they won something when his planned arc ended.

Echo-Karn originally called his artificial plane "Aurum", but then one day Memnarch coached a team of Myr to win the big baseball championship, and as a prize got to rename the plane to "Mirrodin". #MagicTheGathering #MtGFracture #Headcannon

Jace Haters: I hate Jace because he's a boring, one dimensional know-it-all. Magic Story: Jace is a complex, multidimensional character with failures, flaws and redemption. Jace Haters: I wish they'd write something cool, instead of this boring one-dimensional Jace-slop I don't bother to read.

The Echoverse overlay only lasted a couple of hours at most, so the explanation for why your favorite character doesn't get a mirrored version could easily be that they slept through the whole thing.
