Amazing what a little perspective can do. Only after something broke could I look back and see how I was contorting myself and making excuses for it. How deference warped into self-erosion. I'm very glad to say I've emerged from an awful summer feeling better than I have in years

I'm just going to say it. Teaching middle school kids who aren't certain they actually want to learn how to play Magic is hard. Untap, upkeep,...... Pay attention..... Draw😂

Those of you that know me well probably remember my very problematic Teshar build. 😈 Thinking about a making a #PendragonMTG version. What trouble making cards would you add to this pairing?

Tethmos High Priest
{2}{W}
Creature — Cat Cleric

Heroic — Whenever you cast a spell that targets this creature, return target creature card with mana value 2 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield.

“Death is tyranny. Like all tyranny, it must be opposed.”

2/3
Illustrated by Mark Zug

Glamdring, Foe-hammer
{2}
Legendary Artifact — Equipment

Instant and sorcery spells you cast cost {X} less to cast, where X is equipped creature’s power.

Equip {2}

Suddenly a sword flashed in its own light.

Gleam of Death
{3}{U}
Sorcery — Adventure

Mill six cards, then put all instant and sorcery cards from among them into your hand. (Then exile this card. You may cast the artifact later from exile.)

Seriously considering a Toll Collector/Hulkbuster #PendragonMTG build. Does this make me the monster I think I am 😅.

Kazuul's Toll Collector
{2}{R}
Creature — Ogre Warrior

{0}: Attach target Equipment you control to this creature. Activate only as a sorcery.

Travelers are advised to bring extra swords, preferably shiny ones.

3/2

Hulkbuster Armor
{4}
Legendary Artifact — Equipment

Equipped creature has base power and toughness 9/9 and has flying.

Equip Hero {3}

Equip {6}

“You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry either, Banner.”
—Iron Man, Tony Stark

Illustrated by Maxim Ruabtsev

Assault Strobe
{R}
Sorcery

Target creature gains double strike until end of turn. (It deals both first-strike and regular combat damage.)

When breaking someone’s face once just isn’t enough.

Watermark: Mirran

Illustrated by Kev Walker

Brass Knuckles
{4}
Artifact — Equipment

When you cast this spell, copy it. (The copy becomes a token.)

Equipped creature has double strike as long as two or more Equipment are attached to it.

Equip {1} ({1}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)

This is also my favorite word in the English language. Simply because we threw enough folks out windows that at some point in history someone said, "Well, I guess we need a word for it now." 🤷‍♂️😂

There is no higher compliment! I (@grubblethorn1.bsky.social) started playing Magic with my best friend literally at the kitchen table. Been chasing that feeling since '97. So when I read comments like this it makes me feel like we've gotten it right. ❤️

Here's a preliminary build for this pair. One thing I love to do is use cards in an unconventional way. Almost all of the "Gain control" spells don't specify an opponents creature which means they are great ways to give haste & untap your own creatures. #PendragonMTG moxfield.com/decks/iHf5kN...

Happy father's day to all my MTG dads out there! Being a good dad has nothing to do with biology and everything to do with loving the folks in your life for who they are not who you think they should be. That's means a lot more of you are dad's than you might realize.

Deep depression, panic attacks, & imposter syndrome hit me like a freight train. It got to be that I couldn't bring myself to interact with anything I loved outside of my immediate family. Long story short please take care of your mental health because if you don't it'll do it for you. 2/3

OK as promised, here is a brief explanation of my prolonged absence. I've been a teacher for 21 years now, but these last few years have been very mentally challenging. Teacher burnout is real & I got hit by it hard. 1/3

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

So what are your favorite emote phrases & how are you using them? BTW If you're spamming anything just to be annoying; no one likes you. 😂

000

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

15. I PRACTICED FOR THIS I only use this in a friendly manner if someone emotes a shocked or friendly emote at something cool my deck is doing.

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

14. WRONG ANSWERS ONLY I actually haven't found a good use for this one yet.

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

13. CLASS IS IN SESSION Only used on the last rope before an opponent is auto-booted.

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

12. IMPECCABLE TECHNIQUE My opponent has done something really cool or flashy or are clearly teaching a master class in how to whoop my ass.

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

11. ARE WE DOOMED... I'M PRETTY SURE WE'RE DOOMED I'm about to die & and I acknowledge you played a good game.

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

10. WHATCHA UP TO Used after 1 rope in hopes they were just in the tank figuring out how to murder me.

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

9. TIME... IT WILL NOT WAIT This is pure rope banter.

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

8. THERE IS NO WAR I BA SING SE if I'm wide open for an attack I'll say this to be silly in hopes that I may receive some mercy. (it never works 😅)

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

7. I AM MELON LORD This is similar to "that's rough buddy" if it's been a fun friendly game I'll sometimes emote this at the end, but if it's a last second rope in hopes I'll quit before all the timers burn down then it works for great snark.

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

6. THAT'S ROUGH BUDDY This one is multipurpose. If somebody emotes "Lands am I right" I say it in condolence. If somebody is being a nuisance and spamming your go or other such responses & yet I still have the win, then they get this.

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

5. MY CABBAGES Somebody board-wiped or sniped my most important piece on the board.

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

4. WANT TO PLAY A GAME This is usually my first response to roping. It's in hopes that maybe they aren't being a jerk but just stopped paying attention.

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

3. YEEHAW This is just silly so I might use it if I'm going off or if someone else is doing something bonkers.

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

2. WHAT IN TARNATION If some one is about to kill me on turn 2 or 3. 😅

100

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

OK so I promise to do a post later that explains my extended absence, but until the enjoy this one about MTG Arena emotes. Here are my favorite phrases & how I use them. 1. HOWDY If someone starts a game with hello I respond with this. Unfortunately most people who say hello also spam your go 😂
