So excited for this and the rest of the upcoming @flebpuzzles.bsky.social games for 2027. Strange Jigsaws was an absolute delight and I'm happy to have more to play

I've done a ton of work on SimOrg since I last posted about it here, if you're interested, I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

Neil @neilbefore.me · 12/08/2026

I put in a lot of work to make this happen and I personally love how SimOrg came out so I would appreciate if you checked it out!

Here's a little bit of what it currently looks like :)

Neil @neilbefore.me · 06/08/2026

Yeah SimOrg currently looks _much_ different from what's shown in the video. I think we plan to do an updated video at some point once I get everything I intend to done for my first goal.

Neil @neilbefore.me · 28/06/2026

Yeah I gotta try and trim it down a bit further still too. I did a bunch of NSFW tag blocking but that stuff only works if the posts are tagged out the gate which is tough.

020

Neil @neilbefore.me · 27/06/2026

Did a bit of long-overdue Yugioh feed cleanup and removed some old allowlisted users who are no longer talking about Yugioh as well as hard blocked a recurring NSFW account that happened to be using the term "blue-eyes" a lot. I've definitely been slacking lately so I'll try and keep up on it more

Picked up some new cards for the slop pile. +5 Franchises getting us ever closer to the ideal Magic the Gathering deck.

Several universes beyond cards with a SpongeBob commander deck, sleeved with SpongeBob sleeves

Very happy to get this feature out to everyone! Excited to see what you all do with it. Feel free to tag us if you're doing something cool!

Neil @neilbefore.me · 05/06/2026

I never talked to Alex Cimo. But I wouldn't be playing Yugioh without Cimo. I wouldn't be in this community without Cimo. I wouldn't have these projects that I love working without on Cimo. I wouldn't know almost any of you without Cimo. I wouldn't be where I am without Cimo.

I literally forgot to post that we did this yesterday lmao

Neil @neilbefore.me · 12/05/2026

We're hoping to get Cube in here at some point. We actually did a lot of work towards it a couple of years ago, but we ended up not finishing. It's still something I'd like to get in and we've done a lot of work to make this type of stuff simpler for us to build in the future.

Neil @neilbefore.me · 12/05/2026

Really excited for this one, we've been wanting to do this for quite some time!

Neil @neilbefore.me · 08/05/2026

And in that regard, that also probably makes Prayers an unlikely hit as well since that's at 3 in the structure.

120

Neil @neilbefore.me · 08/05/2026

It's not about reprint economy, they don't want to make a structure deck that you can walk into a target and buy illegal to play.

I've been dragging my feet on this one a bit but at this point the site is pretty expensive to run, and I've been paying for it out of pocket. It's also given us some motivation to actually push on some of the features we've been planning. Pretty excited to get some of these out!

Neil @neilbefore.me · 17/04/2026

I had to manually kick it back to life lol

Neil @neilbefore.me · 17/04/2026

yeah it froze while bsky was having outages for an extended period of time today. should be good now in theory

110

Neil @neilbefore.me · 10/04/2026

I wanna give a huge shoutout to @convoke.games. Last night we were facing an issue on the platforms, and one of the devs quickly hopped in and worked with us to investigate the issue. And they had it resolved by morning! If you're looking to play paper commander online, Convoke is the way!

Finally got in the intended sleeves for The Slop Pile. Really ties everything together

Neil @neilbefore.me · 07/03/2026

got to use this one today with @daimax.bsky.social @skarlon.bsky.social and @chloeaster.bsky.social. responses were mixed.

Neil @neilbefore.me · 07/03/2026

I think we can up those numbers

Neil @neilbefore.me · 07/03/2026

SpongeBob Squarepants, of course, there's no better fit IMO

Neil @neilbefore.me · 06/03/2026

I'm also extremely open to suggestions, especially on cards that will up the number of franchises. This is definitely a deck that I'm looking to "upgrade" with every new Universes Beyond release. But I'm also sure I missed some UB cards that could fit well within the deck mechanically.

Neil @neilbefore.me · 06/03/2026

ready player one secret lair when

Neil @neilbefore.me · 06/03/2026

didn't make the cut in this iteration, plenty of horrible Avatar cards already in the list though

Neil @neilbefore.me · 06/03/2026

the real heinous thing about it is that it's actually pretty fun to play and reasonably threatening at the table

Neil @neilbefore.me · 06/03/2026

Behold, the worst deck I own. A deck I lovingly refer to as "The Slop Pile". A fully functional Universes Beyond commander deck, organized as all MTG decks should be - by franchise of source material. This is Magic the Gathering as Richard Garfield intended.

Neil @neilbefore.me · 18/02/2026

it's most likely this tbh. I think creator openings are probably not being shipped much earlier than the boxes are being shipped to stores.

000

Neil @neilbefore.me · 16/02/2026

should be all set, cleaned up a couple other things that I wanted to get rid of as well

010

Neil @neilbefore.me · 16/02/2026

Yeah I'll get rid of that one haha

Neil @neilbefore.me · 21/01/2026

did a quick update to prevent new posts from the user that was flooding the yugioh feed with the same post over and over. one of these days I should put something together to make management of the users and such a bit easier haha

3-1 at locals this week playing primite odion. I've been super unhappy with the format the last couple months and none of the decks i have access to were clicking with me or uh....performing at all. a friend sold me his odion core for cheap and then Coder, Neil, Chloe, and Momo helped me build.
