@melissadetora.bsky.social drafts with Team Magic Jank as a tradition at the end of cons because she’s wonderful. At #MCVegas, we extended the opportunity to con-goers. It was a blast, but because Melissa is so amazing, we had so many people we had to turn away lots 😢. We’ll make it bigger next con!

As the Vision Design lead on Secrets of Strixhaven, my job was to figure out what the set should showcase. We build out a whole card set to do this. All cards change over development, with just those “showcase” points shining thru. Here’s a few examples: (1/7)
