IMO this is always where the MTG x Marvel partnership was headed. Inevitable you might say (not sorry). SPE and MSH were proof of concept and now WotC gets to tell a unique Marvel story through the medium of Magic:The Gathering. And that is cool as hell. #MTGxDarkhold

What a great day for pitchers. The whole White Sox gang, Grant Taylor in particular. Drew Rasmussen on 8 innings of one-hit ball. Old man Cole. Young Jacob Misiorowski solid in his first playoff outing. San Diego by committee. So much talent. #MLB #MLBPlayoffs

Rewarded my poor performance at #MTGFracture prerelease with two Collector Boosters (gambling is bad). Pulled a foil borderless Liliana the Faultless (truly stunning) which I think will go straight into Arbaaz Mir and a foil showcase Loyal Tutor whose price I suspect will go up. Maybe. I hope.

Headed to my first of at least two #MTGFracture prerelease events. Between the story, the card quality and diversity, and what looks to be a complex and intriguing limited landscape, my excitement is very high. Already feels like a classic and I’ve not even touched cardboard.

If you tend to blame your failings in Magic on variance while attributing successes to skill, you'll never become a good player. That's because your player mentality is defined by your sense of entitlement to win and not by your willingness to improve.

Hexing Squelcher has been fine / fair in every format where it has been played and it does more than Samut, Tyrant of Naktamun. The people losing their mind over this card need a reality check. Topical pun intended. Yes, I do know that split second forces the current stack to resolve immediately.

New: Macklemore will donate entire $1M of his earnings from Ed Sheeran's tour to six orgs helping Palestinians — and invites Robert Kraft to match him. Says he wants to center Palestinians being killed + journalists & aid workers who keep going. "Their risk is of a far different order than mine."

With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom.
I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation. Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.
That is what this has always been about. Not me. Not a tour. Not the headlines or the controversy. It is about Palestinians right to freedom, dignity and safety in their own homeland. I want to center the parents carrying their children into hospitals without the basic resources to treat them, and the physicians, paramedics, journalists and aid workers who keep going back in. I want to center the organizers and activists who have paid real costs for standing with Palestine. Their risk is of a far different order than mine.
Just yesterday, 15 year old Muhammad al Zinati was killed in an Israeli strike while rushing to help aid worker Sherif Lubbad, who had already been injured. He was a child. Both were murdered. Both should be alive. And the ones still under the rubble, whose names exist only in the memories of people who may not have survived to speak them. Writing a check is one of the least costly forms of solidarity available to me. I am doing it because I can, and because these organizations are doing the work while much of the world debates it.
But aid alone cannot address the conditions that make it necessary. This is a manmade injustice, and I believe it requires immediate political change. Palestinians have lived for decades without basic rights and should not have to wait another day to be free. That is where my focus will remain. I will …

I cannot stop thinking about Puppet Crafting. #MTG #MTGFracture With three great colourless cards for this in Standard in Nutrient Block, Gingerbrute, and Valgavoth''s Lair, you can play any colour pair, taking the deck in any number of unique directions.

Nutrient Block
{1}
Artifact — Food
Indestructible (Effects that say “destroy” don’t destroy this artifact.)
{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life.
When this artifact is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, draw a card.
“What flavor do you want, Sami? Bland, dense, or vanilla?”
—Tannuk
Illustrated by Francisco Miyara

Gingerbrute
{1}
Artifact Creature — Food Golem
Haste (This creature can attack and {T} as soon as it comes under your control.)
{1}: This creature can’t be blocked this turn except by creatures with haste.
{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this creature: You gain 3 life.
Sometimes, “as fast as you can” isn’t quite fast enough.
1/1
Illustrated by Carlos Palma Cruchaga

algavoth's Lair
Enchantment Land
Hexproof
This land enters tapped. As it enters, choose a color.
{T}: Add one mana of the chosen color.
It is the one chamber whose location never changes, the rotten, rancorous heart of Duskmourn itself.

The more I use it, the more convinced I am that “Best,” is the way to sign off an email or letter. Because if you ignore the comma, you’re basically saying, “If there are others out there with my exact name, let me declare on this day that I am the best of them.”
