iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. I love marketing and sometimes we overlook the small things. Hope everyone has had fun at their prereleases this weekend! (8/8

A birth if you will. Both of a new reality, a new multiverse, but also a new version of himself and ‘a child’ in Tam. So to blanket the packaging in baby blue subconsciously tells our brain, this is new. This is something ‘born’. How we feel about that is up to the viewer / the player. (7/8)

“He has clearwater blue eyes with a small brown freckle in one” “When creating spells, Jace's eyes shine bright blue with magic.” So it makes sense that the marketing team would choose a color that is commonly referred to in eye color. But to go a step deeper, Jace has created something new.(6/8)

Lastly, baby blue is primarily usually used in two ways: to reference newborns, or when describing eye color. Jace’s eyes are always a highlighted feature in his artwork and even his wiki: (5/8)

Jace, Vyrn’s Prodigy (the flip Origins Jace) we lovingly call ‘Baby Jace’. And since this set deals with his history and trauma, I can’t help but think that baby blue is a nod to the players and reference. And from a storytelling angle, baby Jace had a real moment that that hit my heart (4/8)

And we know the Theorist’s primary color is actually white (aligned with his strict, rigid view of how the world should be/work). Blue + white = baby blue. But color choice rarely is that surface level. To me, the deeper marketing choice lies in: 1. Culture reference 2. Representation (3/8)

Older versions of Jace had a much deeper, richer tone of blue closer to how we identify the mana color in Magic. Mostly because at the founding of the Gatewatch, each walker represented their individual color of mana. Most of the Gatewatch walkers haven’t strayed from their color sans a few. (2/8)

Speaking of the baby blue, let’s talk marketing because I actually LOVE the color choice of all the Reality Fracture boxing / packaging. I’m not sure what its actual Pantone code is (help a brother out) but why choose baby blue? High level, it’s a combination of old Jace & the Theorist. (1/8)

I adore the Digimon TCG and recently came into a large bulk collection. So now I will be turning those into Magic cards and tokens. The first of many: Monarch Greymon

Digimon card ST5-06 Greymon altered to a Monarch token for Magic the Gathering. This Greymon is purple and black with pink fire around him so the added elements are pink and red to highlight

Thank you! I’ve never raised a Dratini in game so that was fun

Happy first day of fall from your local nonbinary Libra Have a shapeshifter pride token as a treat (or trick?)

Shapeshifter token from Duskmourn commander which depicts a skeleton covered in drippy wax. This token is altered with paint markers to have the Nonbinary flag colors radiating outward from the skeleton

I had my doubts when @scoopphase.bsky.social was in his build phase during an interview for @cmdrsealed.bsky.social but it’s so cool to see an uncommon commander make it to finals. Sometimes budget versions of powerful staples can work, ya’ll
