So apparently Zoombinis isn't the cultural touchstone I thought it was. It came up a week ago and NOBODY seems to know it. HOW?!

Forgot to post this yesterday, but #MTGFracture Prerelease #4! Never having issues casting two different triple-pipped 7-drops in a 3-color deck? Turns out, Heartwood tokens *really* help. #wotcstaff

To the tune of Bangladesh by Ian McConnell (share.google/IWDb3nD2DTC6...) You never draw cards with Gristlebrand. You never fill your yard up for a Living End. Never suit up a Boggle. Never Mind Twist a whole hand. You never storm a billion copies of Brain Freeze.

"Survivor" is my new favorite go-to for those times when you don't have something to save. You choose it when there are no survivors. #wotcstaff

Choose a creature type. Destroy all creatures that aren’t of the chosen type.

A real thing a coworker said when I realized my fortune cookie was missing a fortune: "Unfortunate." Still a little bit mad about how perfect it was.

It just occurred to me that: 1.) "Mox" and "Opal" are both real last names. 2.) Hyphenated names exist. 3.) Some parents name their children after favorite characters. I'm not saying it'd happen...but a baby named "Jace Mox-Opal" isn't impossible. #wotcstaff

Recently watched a fantastic fantasy trilogy. It's got: -A weary traveller and his companion are pursued by a wizard in a tower. -A ball of fire that's an even bigger threat. -Christopher Lee being cryptic and menacing. -Sean Astin enthusiastically praising potatoes.

Artwork depicts a blue-skinned alien officer in a red uniform aiming a phaser, with a red beam cutting across a desert landscape. Illustrated by Elizabeth Peiró (C 0034, TRK).

Right: Consider the Prime Directive, a blue Instant costing 2U. Choose one — Interfere: Counter target spell unless its controller pays 3; or Observe: Tap up to one target creature and put a stun counter on it, then draw a card.

Panel 1:
Me: "Wow... It's so scary..."
It's a computer with the text "WORK" on the screen. The graphics tablet has Photoshop open

Panel 2: Top down shot of me with a scared expression.
Me: I don't think I can beat it... I'm not strong enough..."

Panel 3: A hand from off screen pats my shoulder "Don't worry..."

Panel 4: It's a faceless man with a T-Shirt labelled "A Sweet Treat." He's holding a blood bathed baseball bat with embedded crooked nails on the tip.

Sweet Treat: "Leave it to me..."
