Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Even imagining the direction he received was to call back to the other card’s finished art, I still don’t see the problem 040
Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Ok you have a different set of axioms. But do they produce better results on thought experiments or real examples of making decisions and tradeoffs? 140

Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I really loved each in their respective primes. One I would sac to Recurring Nightmare, the other I would cast before Day of Judgement. A versatile game piece in both eras. 030

Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Respectfully, it seems like you just haven’t updated beliefs enough based on what he actually does. Very action oriented and NY impact oriented while his peers who ask the party for permission and “read the room” are the ones you should paint as ambition-first. 010
Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 18/07/2026If it’s not too late, please @magic.wizards.com do not make people who had years and years of HoF eligibility eligible again without multiple new top finishes. Let’s focus on how great JED is not whether Wyatt Earp really did clean up the game in 1988 or whatever. 2142

Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 19/06/2026The other one has a joke so you notice. I didn’t hate it. This one I think actually does better with no reminder text at all than the twice version. 030
Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Funny in the same set WotC was smelling their own farts over another reminder text for the double power up creature, they give us this reminder text. One of the worst of all time imo. 150

Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 26/04/2026I really hate that people try to sneak assertions into your head with “Reminder: [my claim]” 070
Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 20/04/2026I think it’s ok to cash out the ranking or playability or pick ability into a grade if that matches viewer expectations and use. Was suggesting prior step that converts cleanly into one grading framework you then present. 110
Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 16/04/2026My favorite idea is rank the cards (pick order them) and then have a formula for converting the rank into a grade. More work is the issue so of course I (a viewer) like this idea. Another idea is to just curve the grades. “Sorry that’s too many C+ some of these cards are by definition C or C-“ 350
Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Big fan of your limited set reviews @chordocalls.bsky.social and @neo-mtg.bsky.social but we really need to solve the grading standards mismatch. You guys still get to play the same number of cards and cut the same number even if one of you gave all of them 1-2 grades higher grades. Ideas to fix: 1121
Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 16/04/2026The film contains the wisdom of an allegory. That chaotic consequences of powerful technology are harder to predict and contain than they are to create. You’re sort of implying wisdom can only be conveyed in arguments? 010
Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 09/04/2026And they should board in reverse order so the shame walk occurs in front of the maximum number of people in better cabins. “Alright first up is group unwashed masses.

Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Was thinking more about your thread and broader than mtg. Conversations about neurodivergence that have gone mainstream tend to focus on a recently expanded tent of accepted divergences but not necessarily acceptance of disability and divergence with all its inconvenient variance.

Matt Sperling @mattsperling.bsky.social · 17/03/2026One of the downsides of proxying talking points used to be “if you use fan art, opponents won’t recognize the card”. Meanwhile there’s under 10 people on earth who could recognize all the real versions now. 3142
