Magic tweet of the year. Maybe the decade. Poignant on release week.

does this combo work the way I think it does? #Premodern h/t @mtgbanding.com
Reflecting Pool.  Many people tell me it's the tallest Magic card, by a lot!Spreading Algae.  Make America Green Again!

Sets used to be flush with commons like this that it’s correct to play in Limited 0% of the time. Now virtually every common has SOME Limited value and that’s for the better.

For me, it wouldn’t be a Magic card, but my postcard invitation to the first Pro Tour

By 2020s standards, these lands stink. IMO they were included in OG Strix because an enemy cycle was needed to round out Standard, the SOI Port Town cycle was the only viable unfinished cycle, and they were reticent to start a new cycle ene colors first. Not to be an indelible feature of Strix.

Tangential perhaps, but Cursed Scroll and Mishra’s Factory would like a word.

White took a mauling from Anarchy, but White at the time was grossly overpowered.

I somewhat credit Ice Age for containing mostly sane color hosers after Alpha’s were so oppressive. And the CoPs would get repeated in Tempest and essentially Urza’s Saga so no deduction to IA for that.

Sol @targetplayer.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
Ice Age got WAY too much criticism from Pat and Cedric imo. That set was a shot in the arm for Magic, like Alliances, undeserving of association with FE/CH/HM. If nothing else it deserves its flowers just for introducing cantrips.

Been slacking on adopting this platform, but I had a pretty good run on Saturday: Got up at 4am to win the 308 player MTGO Limited Qualifier, Lorwyn Eclipsed sealed/draft.

Unusually early for a game to make social commentary like that. And then came PS3, a scarcely connected mess that did nothing to resolve PS2’s cliffhanger ending, since the PS team was diverted to work on Sonic.

Sol @targetplayer.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
Phantasy Star 1 was the greatest 8-bit game of all time. PS2 was my first Genesis cartridge. I absolutely loved it...until the last 1/3 or so. Even with the included 100+ page hint book those Dezoris dungeons were unfun hard, especially the ones you traverse via pits.

No idea! I’m super new to ATLA, having been introduced during MC Atlanta, so many of the characters are unknown to me, and I haven’t thoroughly perused the cards. GLHF!

There’s rarely just cause for splashing for removal anymore, and not splashing should be the default. Splashed cards should be useful and swingy no matter when they’re cast.

Decked Out is, though, so you’re…33.33% of an ambassador? Repeating of course

if one goes by my 2000 deck tech, it’s the hermit, but do what makes you happy …as I do by calling two-color decks by the color words and not the ravnica guilds

The secondary market demand and $ value of the PTQ participation promo Tifa. The card WE ALL GOT for signing up for $135, I sold to A DEALER on-site for $400 - and apparently I could have gotten much more e.g. on eBay.

It’s hilarious how rigid they were about “nonblack” in that era, and even funnier that the lone exception was made for common 2 mana instant Terminate

Its sister card Aura Mutation was a sideboard banger at the first Pro Tour with Invasion, Chicago 2000, where the top dog was Fires/Saproling Burst and where Kibler became Dragonmaster

Hilariously, the Necro-Donate deck adapted by adding Mox Diamond and the Masques Peat Bog lands, remaining the best deck in Extended for one more PTQ season before the banhammer finally came down on Necropotence.
