Sometimes you gotta make dumb ideas into dumb realities. (Overwriting other realities optional.) #wotcstaff #MTGFracture

...and @headology.bsky.social *immediately* humbles what I thought was a killer deck. (Good job.)

I could imagine pretty some cards that would be horrific for a passerby to hear out of context. #wotcstaff

Last week, I started gathering notes on the last year and a half's worth of sets for this year's "State of Design" speech. One of the sets I asked about was Reality Fracture. Since that set has had a prerelease since I last asked, I want to post the thread again: www.tumblr.com/markrosewate...

Reality Fracture has been out for a few days now, and I hope you're all having as much fun as I am (my most recent draft I named "assassin" with Kindred Judgment to instantly kill with Massacre Girl). Today I figured I'd talk about the Way enchantments! #wotcstaff

You never scheme in Archenemy. You never cast Time Walk on an extra turn. Never Blightsteel on turn one. Never cast Armageddon You never Mirrormorph, transform all your 1/1s into Eldrazis. It's like you play fair. It's like you play fair. #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.
