Not saying they couldn't double-batch, but... 🤷 not sure how likely it is

Maybe Warlock is replaced with Sorcerer, since Warlock is already an Outlaw.

Fwiw, I can relate in a small way. Feels like everyone around me is succumbing to AI and just refusing to care about anyone but themselves (but not really even themselves because it's all self destruction) It fucking sucks

Genuinely: I love it when they staple extra spells onto permanents, and I love that we have a new (but familiar) mechanic here. I do empathize with folks who are going to have trouble distinguishing between Vengeances, Omens, and Adventures, though.

A PM at my work hit a new low today: tossed our bug tracker into Claude and had it "verify" the fixes instead of... you know... verifying them themself. I'm so sick of this nonsense.

I cannot imagine a life more boring, unfulfilling, uninteresting or devoid of meaning that one entirely made up of my own preferences. Interacting with things made by other people & ideas with intention put behind them that challenge me, stretch me, etc. is 95% of the flavor of living.

Yep, based on some quick brain math (and assuming no other nonlands on board), this seems correct. Very explosive result.

*squints* For some reason, I thought Omnipresence only let you cast creature spells for free. This is... potentially bonkers.

I believe the ruling is supposed to be, you call for a judge and the pack is replaced with a playable one. And they've confirmed that God Packs won't be a thing in Arena limited (store packs only). So this seems like a non-issue.

I've had an idea for an article about Commander mana bases for a while, but I am not a writer*. Still... could be worth a try *Much as I enjoyed essay writing in college, I didn't continue afterward and skip-flunked out of Creative Writing (realized it wasn't a good fit for me early)...

Friendly PSA: Don’t outsource your creativity and critical thinking. (And ESPECIALLY don’t outsource it to a machine built on deception, destruction, and depletion of natural resources.)

They say 7 mana spells should end the game. Well...
Corporeal Projection
{U}{R}
Sorcery

Target creature you control gains myriad until end of turn. (Whenever it attacks, for each opponent other than defending player, you may create a token copy that’s tapped and attacking that player or a planeswalker they control. Exile the tokens at end of combat.)

Overload {3}{U}{U}{R}{R} (You may cast this spell for its overload cost. If you do, change “target” in its text to “each.”)

The Elder Scrolls Legends was neat when it was still live and receiving updates. Had a whole set for Skyrim, a whole set for Oblivion, one for Morrowind, one for ESO and some of its expansions, some unique stuff... Obviously Magic would go to Skyrim first, but what I'd give for Morrowind...

I was flipping through cards for my cube last night to make some swaps, and... it was just a joyful time. Seeing each of these cards made me so happy.

SlothicMania @slothicmania.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Agreed. There's a lot here that work really well with other pieces, but Emperor's just so good by herself.

SlothicMania @slothicmania.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
If I was being smart, I'd probably pick Emperor. But... I don't anticipate the life gain lane to be occupied, so I may pick Germinate or Rattleback Apothecary, hoping the other wheels.

I made some swaps in my Spellslinger cube, adding in a bunch of cards from Secrets of Strixhaven, The Hobbit, and Reality Fracture! cubecobra.com/cube/list/c4... P1P1?
A cube pack with: Haunted Ridge; Lingering Souls; The Wandering Emperor; Germinate Recruits; Waterbending Lesson; Dramatic Reversal; Dai Li Indoctrination; Rattleback Apothecary; Brass's Bounty; Wild Magic Surge; True Ancestry; Primal Boost; Blue Sun's Zenith; Somnomancer; Alisaie Leveilleur.

Exactly. I really don’t mind that there aren’t any legendaries in here; it’s great value for the price and it’s almost all playable. The Underworld Breach alone was enough to get my interest, the rest is just a great bonus

As someone who ignored graveyards (except to exile them) for far too long… graveyards are fun, actually
Vanille, Cheerful l'Cie
{3}{G}
Legendary Creature — Human Cleric
When Vanille enters, mill two cards, then return a permanent card from your graveyard to your hand.
At the beginning of your first main phase, if you both own and control Vanille and a creature named Fang, Fearless l'Cie, you may pay {3}{B}{G}. If you do, exile them, then meld them into Ragnarok, Divine Deliverance.
3/2

Personally I'd treat people playing Harry Potter Magic cards the same as I would someone casting Invoke Prejudice, or who unrolls a playmat to reveal an AI generated bikini model: "Are you aware what this conveys?" [No] "I'll hold your hand through this..." [Yes] "Find someone else to play with."

My prerelease deck. The first round of the night was with an Izzet deck that I quickly changed between rounds to what you see here. Craftwork Crusher is bonkers. moxfield.com/decks/Yf39Vu...

Prerelease 9/25/26 - Reality Fracture - None
Went 2-1. Opened with an Izzet deck that ran very poorly, then quickly scrambled to put this deck together for the last two rounds. Sideboard has the rest of the pool.

100% agreed. There's a few on here that I'd probably take out, or at least downgrade, based on their season quality and relevance dropping off in later seasons. Pre-Netflix Arrested Development should definitely be on here, but holistically... maybe not.

I finally took some time to figure out MTGO earlier today; I saw someone mentioned a 1-player mode you can use to test and I got to just tinker in a safe space. There's a heck of a lot more Pauper in my future.
