I really enjoyed the ribbons myself. Didn’t find them until Saturday, but I was glad I did. #wotcstaff

I’ll always love competitive Magic, especially the Pro Tour. Nothing can stop me from watching on a Sunday! #mcamsterdam #wotcstaff

Good morning, #MCAmsterdam! I’ll be hanging out with @sammamagic.bsky.social near the ticketed play stage today; I’ll be there from 1-4 PM plus random intermittent times. We even have a sign with our job titles on it! #WotCStaff

Either she’s right or I’m taking splash damage here.

I put Relaxo in this gym on the second day of vacation. Since then people have added to the gym and even fed Relaxo to keep the gym afloat. I leave tomorrow. Gamers of Maine, give me back my son

And in case you were wondering, it’s clearly haunted.

“Possibly slightly haunted” is so equivocal. Pick a stance!

Your favorite Magic rules team member (okay there’s a 1/3 chance) is heading back over to #MCVegas with several commander decks and a need to draft more! Come say hi if you see me, and tell me your number one Magic rules gripe (or compliment?) :) #wotcstaff

2-3 this time. Slowly figuring it out. #MTGTarkir #wotcstaff

Eric Levine @raginglevine.com · 13/04/2025

Yesterday's #MTGTarkir draft deck was ... okay. 3-3 is better than last time, but hopefully I can take some inspiration from what I'm watching and reading and keep improving! #wotcstaff

Eric Levine @raginglevine.com · 12/04/2025

Yesterday's #MTGTarkir draft deck looked good but failed to perform - I finished 1-3! Oof. I think I made some poor mulligan decisions. Going to take it slow on drafting and mulligan decisions this weekend. #wotcstaff

Eric Levine @raginglevine.com · 11/04/2025

Oh also here's yesterday's 2-3 draft deck. It was bad! I probably should have prioritized mobilize creatures and low-drops more early in the draft... except I think I was in the wrong seat for that, which speaks to a different error. I'll draft again today and see. #MTGTarkir #wotcstaff
