Recent reprints of cards with more general names like Reprieve make stuff like this a very soft reprint target imo

I just think the amount of time per year my hobby spends going Funko Mode is getting a little untenable for me personally

Lemme tell ya right now, if you've been looking for a lil publication that puts out best-in-class Magic writing with the same level of reverence as good sports or pop culture outlets, you are going to have a very exciting late February and March.

A lot of people are asking if the goblin is dead but it’s clear to me that he’s never been more alive

This is sorta what people are talking about when they say you can't really opt out of UB lol

Feel genuinely bad for my opponent, who pulled off Bitterblossom Bearer/Mirrorweave Crown at the exact moment that it would kill him

Like I'm sorry that wizards didn't take the 12 hour games and constant apology.doc format into account when designing their card game

Mr Pie Break @piebreak.bsky.social · 30/01/2026
Also a very myopic format, some of cEDH's most vocal boosters seem to truly believe it's larger and more relevant to players than regular Commander and treat every card designed and format decision made as though it's a poorly made cEDH decision rather than a decision made without considering them

Like I get that it was a mid pandemic set so a lot of us memory holed people went nuts for Strixhaven one!

Mr Pie Break @piebreak.bsky.social · 17/01/2026
Strixhaven is interesting because I feel like before it was released, everybody rolled their eyes and thought it'd be dollar store Harry Potter, then it came out and everyone loved it, huge hit with fans, then as time passed people started dismissing it again as dollar store harry potter

Is there a way to like...get a refund for this? Dude's just sitting on every pack but releasing them just in time to not get sent into autodraft

One of God's mightiest creations was the idea that generated this set of functioning cards

Playing against the dominant deck in standard means getting slow punched by a grandma from a Nickelodeon cartoon while your opponent draws twenty cards and if this were a hypothetical someone made up for why they didn't like Universes Beyond I'd tell them to tone it down a little bit

I don't want to hear one peep about the mole until we get ancestral recall out of standard again

How do you like them?? I’ve thought about getting some

Mr Pie Break @piebreak.bsky.social · 05/10/2025
If I were tweaking these, I'd make mode 1 of lighting a cig one discard, one draw and I'd make both Joes a little more costed

And frankly if we want to talk about the politics of these stances, implying that greater synergy between big ticket IPs makes for greater inclusiveness in the game’s broader community does a whole lot more legwork for corporations than it does for anyone marginalized
070
Mr Pie Break @piebreak.bsky.social · 01/10/2025
I’m a big proponent of the idea that our politics lurk in most of our decisions but assigning such strong political affiliation to the consumerist faux-battleground of UB vs non UB is silly at best and manipulative at worst
150
Mr Pie Break @piebreak.bsky.social · 01/10/2025
There are people who want an inclusive game with a specific creative focus, there are racists who want as many IPs as possible and I actually think it’s kind of gross to use the implied spectre of minority persecution as a trump card in arguments about Spider-Man magic cards
180
Mr Pie Break @piebreak.bsky.social · 01/10/2025
I do not think it’s smart for the long term to imply that being Pro UB is progressive and anti UB is exclusionary. Massive oversimplification of a complex issue and one that paves the way for people mistaking consumerism for political engagement

Designed my own Jaws because why not? "Shark smells blood" was a fine take but I wanted something that felt more evocative of the movie. Both an homage to the slow burn of the Jaws theme and a mechanical homage to the fact that everybody would've been fine if they just stayed out of the damn water

You have no idea how quiet I'd be if there were universes within versions of big UB sets, I'd be like a lil mouse, not a dang peep

Mr Pie Break @piebreak.bsky.social · 08/09/2025
It's simple, just kill Alchemy, move its budget into digital universes within sets for each UB, eventually print a masters set of the big hits, effectively silence most of the loudest UB critics

The way my feelings on UB would change if we had more of these sets

Like I think a lot of product fatigue stuff comes down to people having an uncomfortably addictive relationship to product, social media, or both, but seeing standard get flooded with new cards, some of which can only be played online through weird loopholes, just feels bad! I love standard!!

Mr Pie Break @piebreak.bsky.social · 19/08/2025
Product fatigue stuff doesn't really phase me and the scalping stuff doesn't effect me too much but I am genuinely sad at what's been done to Standard in all this

It's one of my favorite decks! There are just lots of cool cards for the archetype in red and white that she doesn't get access to

Loooove that land animation commanders are showing up with red and white in their identity, it feels better than blue with Tatyova
