I paid nine hard earned mana to cast The Unspeakable in a commander game. And my “friend” killed it the following turn. I don’t think I’ll ever emotionally recover.

Missed last MC for my wedding, but we're so back and officially going to #MCAtlanta! 🥳 I'm hosting some Precon Commander events (two have sold out!) and hanging in the command zone, so come say hi! #WOTCStaff mcatlanta.mtgfestivals.com/en-us/magic-...

Don’t mind me over here loving my blue ones. 👀

Playing through my first Tactics game (yeah yeah, I know) and wow is it great. 🙂 People should have been more aggressive getting me to play sooner!

“Pain…and Panic! Reporting for duty!” 🫡 Another great Oogie Boogie Bash! 🤩 And in case you were wondering what 11 pounds of candy looks like, wonder no more!

Didn’t make it as far as I’d had hoped in the #Lorcana Nationals, but still a heck of a weekend! 🤩 Here’s looking to season 3!

It’s earlier in the morning than I prefer, but excited to be heading to Disneyland for the #Lorcana National Championship weekend! 🥳

When you lose one too many times on the ladder and switch to a counterpick deck. 😡

Hit end credits on Splatoon Raiders! 🥳 Really great game! Didn’t expect to enjoy a strictly story-only expression of the game, but the level up and customization system alongside the quick raiding format was fantastic. Highly recommend and am excited for post-game content!

Back from vacation. Surely my children behaved themselves and did absolutely nothing in my absence. 😬 #WOTCStaff

Have a great time! 🙂 If you can snag any of the Lorcana Collector boxes later this week, I’d be forever grateful! 😉

Heading home to Seattle after the most amazing mini-honeymoon. 😍 From winning Ultimate Disney Trivia and becoming pirates, to relaxing on beaches and eating way too much ice cream, it’s safe to say we’re cruise bois now! “While at sea, not all my jokes have to land.” - Me to Alex, far too often.

Couldn’t imagine the big day without my “I Do Crew” of besties (and my 1pm Celsius). 🥰 Thanks for lifting me up!

It's only been a couple of days, but we got an early "sneak peek" from our wedding photo gallery and I'm already obsessed. 😍 Prepare for me to be extremely annoying with photos of this perfect day for a WHILE. 📷 PC: @rovecoast

I’ve also spoken about this amazing little fellow too, but putting them here to make sure folks know I love ‘em. Gavin continually checked that I liked the design (very considerate as I had been trying to steal the art myself for a different product (very inconsiderate). 😈

Daniel Holt @imdanielholt.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

This little buddy may seem random, but they actually showed up for the first time in the Neon Dynasty world guide (and maybe in the background of other final arts?) Now they have their own card! I made one pitch to Gavin to make it a bit “less weird” but I’m so glad he kept such a neat design!

Some MBC cards have started finding their way into the wild, so I wanna show some of my favs…obviously Kamigawa! #WOTCStaff Boss Uramon was a major figure in the original trilogy novels, but never got a card herself. This felt like the place to finally fix that wrong. 🙂 And she HAD to have shadow.

Got married in a castle yesterday. Highly recommend. 😎 #Husbands Here are a couple of pics I stole from friends while I wait impatiently for the professional shots to come in!

I don’t think it’s any secret this goes great in Cid decks from FIN. #WOTCStaff @josephmschultz.bsky.social looking at you 😉

Bachelor party today with the besties! 🥰 The whole day was a secret schedule of activities, filled with lewd donuts, escape rooms, spa treatments, and a lot of good food. But the best part was definitely spending the unplugged day together. Love these guys!

Daniel Holt @imdanielholt.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Next week, after 11.5 years, I get to marry this man. 🥰 From one of our first pictures together (2014) to earlier this year, I still catch him looking with those proud and supportive eyes.

Bought an extra prerelease kit as I left the event and glad I did…got one of my chases! 🤩

Prerelease number 2! No enchanted this time though 🤷🏻‍♂️🥲

Coming Summer 2027. 😎 Very grateful for the reception of Neon Dynasty and able to be a part of another return to Kamigawa…and lead some exciting game design this time around. Thank you all for the support and love of my favorite plane! ❤️ #WOTCStaff

Last night is what dreams are made of. 🥹 Truly incredible show and Hilary is still amazing. Haven’t felt those kind of nostalgic emotions from an artist in a long while.

Alex: “I’m getting sleepy.” Me: “Well you better…WAKE UP! WAKE UP ON A SATURDAY NIGHTTT!” 🎶 We’re ready for the Duff. 😬

Spent the morning cheering on friend and testing buddy Ryan Simpson in the Sharp Gaming CCQ! #Lorcana Unfortunately got knocked out during Top8, but had a hell of a run. Out of 210 players, he was only 1 of 4 playing 🟡🔴 Boostie Bois! (Ryan on right)

Kicked off the birthday weekend by seeing one of my fav bands live for the first time! 😍 They opened for 5 Seconds of Summer, but they should have been the headliner.

Just finished binging this new show on Disney+. Highly recommend checking it out for feel good magic school vibes (mostly focused on their sports teams). 😍

Got a handwritten birthday card from the Delta desk agent today when checking in. My birthday isn’t even until July, but this was such a sweet gesture! 😭

Ended up 4-3 and missing Day 2, but played some great games and am proud of my run! Wish I had more time to practice leading up to the event. 😅

Made it on feature match round 3 and win 2-0! 😎

We’re here at DLC Indy for the main event Day 1! Everyone else may be “paws” up for Dog deck, but paw-pcicles are my one true love. 😘

Daniel Holt @imdanielholt.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Got second place in set champs today running 🟢🔵. Fun time and one last ride with Clarabelle before rotation. Now back to testing for DLC Indy next weekend! 😎💪🏻

Gay brunch before playing some Magic at the PrePreRelease! 😬 A time honored tradition. @bengineeringtv.bsky.social @james.loadingreadyrun.com

This was probably the trickiest card (in terms of both rate and mechanics) to get right in the Doctor Doom deck. If you know me, you know I love my pillow fort playstyle and WILL hold a grudge if you attack me. “Now YOU’RE my archnemesis!” 😤 Plus, Fantastic Four flavor. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #WOTCStaff #MTGxMARVEL

A fun thing when designing the #MTGxMARVEL Doom commander deck was making canonical enemies of the hero decks themed as that deck's foe. Ex - The Frightful Four punishes the Fantastic Four's noncreature spell theme. Killmonger benefits from Wakanda playing their artifacts. #WOTCStaff
