I'm still caught on the Harry Potter thing. Controversy aside -The HP franchise 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵 able to move beyond the original series with consistent success -Comparing a game tie-in story with dozens of authors to novels with a singular vision is silly -Jace was never to MTG what Harry was to his series

so funny that Reality Fracture episode 4 seemed to have Opal implying the Echoverse Gideon died and she got over it, but the card preview indicates Echoverse Gideon is alive and well, so now my headcanon is that Echoverse Liliana and Gideon are **exes** and THAT'S why she talks about him like that 😂

Last night, we had to say goodbye to Minerva. I would like to thank everyone who gave us financial and emotional support during her health journey. Assistance with her end of life costs and Harley's ongoing cancer treatment through Gofundme would be appreciated from those able. Thank you all 💜

Two years ago, I made a video coming up with a what if scenario for every block/set for a hypothetical Planar Chaos 2. I wonder how many Reality Fracture ideas I managed to accidentally predict: youtu.be/qpglv3XANAs?...

It's funny but understandable how strongly they want people to know that Jace IS NOT doing anything untoward with the Echoverse people

Something I'm endless fascinated by is how Jace was conceived as WOTC's perception of the archetypal Magic player of 2007 dtwtranscripts.blogspot.com/2014/03/1012...

I relate to Jace because I also have a soulless semi-daughter who will probably betray me at a pivotal moment

I don't know if I've seen anyone point this one out yet. Jace has issues.

Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)

There are a lot of funny flavor texts based on a pun or some sort of absurd scenario. Those can be great, but it's also nice when we get more subtle humor

I don't understand why people would pay extra for collector boosters. The cards taste the same.

I like that a bunch of Hobbit cards have names like "bad vibes goblin," "fundamentally unlikable rabbit," and "that damn crow's at it again"

The Hobbit set should have an alternative victory card where if you can remember like six of the dwarf names you win "Thorin, Fili, Kili, Baby Bjorn, Dasher, Prancer, Nixon..."

if I can be real transparent, I ABSOLUTELY 100% understand the frustrations around influencer marketing right now, but my feed being full of "I hate ALL the ambassadors and always have!! I've just been WAITING for everyone to hate them as much as I DO" has been pretty discouraging. [1/3 pls read] 🧵

I've complained that Greensleeves' first card depicts her as a magical entity brought into a world where all her loved ones are dead, when the culmination of her arc is sacrificing ultimate power to help people and stay with her family. My selfish hope is to one day see a human creature card for her
