A few months ago I got to design the staff t-shirt for The Hobbit x MTG! I relished painting some of the pivotal characters and elements of the story. The stylization is inspired by Tolkien's own paintings, and I wanted it to look as though Bilbo had drawn these things in his book.

A stylized collection of images from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Featuring characters Smaug, Bilbo, Beorn, and Gollum, and artifacts like the One Ring, Thorin's Key, the Arkenstone, and Sting.

Seems like a mostly win-win announcement. Will be funny seeing how this is dealt with at big tournaments though.

I agree! It's a hard problem to fix and I'm trying to go in a different direction with my videos when possible. Hoping the established creators torch the grades and one by one 4 hour card reviews sooner rather than later.

Me and @dafore.bsky.social built skeletons for every archetype in Reality Fracture and discussed what we think will work best on day 1. Check it out to get a head start on your drafts and Prereleases! @fireshoes.bsky.social youtu.be/i1DmhMY7nI4?...

Tuesday: a group session on card evaluation, using Fractured Reality commons. Limited card evaluation is a skill you can practise. This is practice with the reasoning shown — my process, out loud, card by card. 10 spots available! 1/2

This card seems crazy to me. Even if it doesn't make waves is constructed I LOVE the design.

I've somehow found the opposite. Podcasts and such are a no-go. But loud metal is the way for me.

Early data for the format is out and it's better than I predicted. Yes, Simic is trailing, but the difference between Rakdos and the rest is not big. Community came prepared and drafted RB high enough that the lane was not outrageously open. Other pairs did well too. 1/11
