This is the most confident I've felt in my appearance in probably a good chunk of my life. Now if I could lose a little bit of gut I'd be probably the best I've felt and looked in years

Welp most of the people at work seem to like my hair, while a good amount seem neutral or at least good at hiding their dislike. My boss however seems very much to not like it, but oh well can't please everyone and I'm almost certain I can't be fired for it so that's good

Well Prerelease was solid. We went 2-1 in 2hg. Very fun time. We played emrakul every game My friend got all the hits. Emrakul, kwia vigorbloom and green garruk. While I only got one mythic. But it was like... One of the ones I wanted most

It's so sad. Im trading in my ancient copper dragon and my rhystic study today. I love these cards, but I just really want a box of reality fracture, and I cannot justify buying one with cash right now. So this is what I have to do. I'm also just sick of waiting to see if rhystic will be banned

I like that my lgs has done away with prizing for Prerelease and instead just gives everyone a couple extra packs

Im finally being a little bit more true to myself today. In the grand scheme of things Its not that big or important. Im not coming out, or moving or changing jobs or anything like that. All it is, is that I'm getting a hair cut I've always told myself no for. And dying my hair. Something that I

The kids I play Pathfinder and magic with in a shocking twist voted on call of Cthulhu to try. Mind you I say kids, they are all 15-17 and pretty mature but I was still surprised that out of 10 options it tied twice and one out in the final vote

Man what a freaking bummer. Im fine that Pathfinder ended. I wasn't the biggest fan of running it, but now no matter what system I run next, I lose a player, and that sucks and now I'm all bummed out

Statement from Volkan Baga’s art broker Mark Aronowitz

Hi everyone. What started as an exciting day celebrating the reveal of Volkan Baga's new Jace card quickly turned into a difficult situation when questions of art theft were raised online.

I want to provide some clear context: Volkan followed the exact creative brief he was assigned. In fact, he specifically checked with the art director prior to painting regarding the background swirl and overall mood, and was instructed to proceed with that exact composition.

Wizards of the Coast has since issued an official statement clarifying the matter:

"We’ve seen some of the discussion around the art of Jace, Multiverse Architect by Volkan Baga and Breach the Multiverse by Liiga Smilshkalne and wanted to make a few things clear.

First, the art direction given to Volkan was to directly reference this piece into the art. Much of the visual storytelling in Reality Fracture centers on Jace utilizing or incorporating powerful magic he has learned from events he has experienced. This was a direct, intentional call back to that moment to indicate that, in his efforts to rid the multiverse of Phyrexia, Jace had become the very thing he sought to eradicate.

Second, Volkan created this piece traditionally, from a first sketch done by hand up through the final painted version.

Finally, Magic has long created visual callbacks in its art to evoke connection through its shared multiverse. This has spurred some additional internal conversations about how we communicate those callbacks to artists who create iconic pieces, but it is very important to us to create a shared world that feels unified. This includes use of symbols, characters, and important moments throughout art.

We’ve been in contact with both artists and appreciate measured discussions around these important topics."

Creative misunderstandings happen, especially when reference material is involved, but Volkan worked entirely in good faith and with total professionalism from sketch to final oils. Thank you to everyone w…

What do you mean I ordered two of the same Jace's just different art? No I would never do that. Gosh darn it that's annoying. Oh well. At least they are different arts I guess

Im so stoked that I preordered the Jace precon. It looks so weird but cool

That magic video that came out today hinted at two new loot cards. I assume one will be in the precon. Then that got me thinking. It'd be really cool if the precon was the life of Jace and had a ton of notable figures and events from his life. Either way can't wait to see what's in it

Geez. Trying to figure out bathroom renovation stuff is awful. I hate this, but my wife insists we need to upgrade our bathroom and while I agree... This gives me so much undue stress

Id say the only thing I'm a little bummed by is that there aren't that many rare echoverse legendary creatures

Samwise Spamgee @samwisespamgee.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Obviously this statement is subjective and I understand that other people are different, but... I find it shocking and baffling that there are magic players who don't care about the story. Like yes it helps that the game is well done but still. I was introduced to magic story well after I'd been

Im a very creative person, however my application to creative stuff I'm doing is so mechanical that I cant seem to experiment, because in my mind if I screw up, Ive ruined whatever I'm working on. It also makes it very hard for me to apply new ways of applying whatever I'm doing

I saw a comment today of someone implying that the writing in reality fracture was awful and I'm like... Are you stupid? How could you possibly believe the writing was bad. Even if you dislike Jace, the writing was some of the best magic story writing we've ever had

Ok. I am done trying to explain to people that Jace hasn't deliberately chosen any of the echo verse changes after his literal start with "no more suffering" It's exhausting to see people seemingly continue to blame him for things he no longer has any control of. I get it, people hate Jace.

Two things can be true at the same time: 1. Canonically, most of the Echoverse is comprised of unintended consequences of The Theorist's meddling, rather than purposeful decisions. 2. It is really funny to imagine Jace just personally dislikes Mowu.
