Really the God Pack card should just be a copy of the XKCD finally freeing you from the MindVirus of Magic
Im as surprised as you! I didn’t think it was possible.

This seems like a good change. Reducing the number of worthless, warped foils in play boosters is a substantial improvement for limited play and increasing the EV for boosters via low probability hits makes singles cheaper

Fascinating update from l0gr1thm1k, who curates the Data Generated Vintage cube. Huge fall off of people actively updating their cubes on Cube Cobra. Magic will outlive Cube? #mtgcube
This list looks a little more "normal" to me. The quantity of data I filter on and use to make these cubes has been declining over the last few years as fewer folks are updating vintage cubes. I usually only sample cubes taht have been updated in the last 90 days. A few years ago I was gitting in the 40-50 range of cubes updated whenever I sampled, whoih made the sample fairly robuts. This quarter there were only 9 cubes updated, making choices in the cube highly idiosyncratic. Sampling thosecube highly idiosyncratic. Sampling those recent cubes did allow us to include Bilbo, Theif in the Night, but overall the cube looked off by having more pet cards present - to remedy that, i went back to sampling over a longer window - the last 365 days. this yielded a bit more of a vanilla vintage cube; so we traded brand new most recent set inclusions for cube stability - seems worth it to me. I'm still not bothering to maintain this list in paper any longer, but this is a list I could enjoy!

It's moxtober, I guess. Day 1 - Witches
A custom mtg card. A black uncommon enchantment costing 2B, with the following rules text:
Whenever a creature you control dies, choose one. If the creature was named Festering Newt, choose any number instead —
• Each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life. 
• Surveil 1.
• Target creature gains deathtouch until end of turn.

The image, lifted from ArtStation and credited to Morten Krebs, shows a body disintigrating in glowy purple triangles over an altar in the middle of a swamp. A dude in the foreground is being pulled into its gravity.

In 2017, I created Moxtober, a Magic version of Inktober. Create anything MTG-related (art, writing, etc) to fit daily prompts. Most popular w/ Magic design hobbyists! This is Year 10 of Moxtober. I'm 100% hands-off & the community still keeps it alive. 😭 Here's the 2026 prompt list they created.
Moxtober 2026 prompts: 1 - witches, 2 - double, 3 - toil, 4 - trouble, 5 - fire, 6 - boil, 7 - cauldron, 8 - bubble, 9 - blood, 10 - bold, 11 - resolute, 12 - poison, 13 - toad, 14 - eye, 15 - newt, 16 - knock, 17 - wood, 18 - beware, 19 - wing, 20 - something, 21 - wicked, 22 - share, 23 - sting, 24 - salt, 25 - maw, 26 - laugh, 27 - pain, 28 - secret, 29 - midnight, 30 - hemlock, 31 - thane

Today I decided to talk a little bit about the mirrored legends of FRA. These cards were very difficult to design and develop: They have loads of constraints and high expectations. We were up to the challenge though, and I think they turned out really sweet! 1/N

This was a brief retelling of the tragic tale of 2023's March of the Machine: Aftermath product. Maro hits the points that matter to him and the business unit, but I think a player perspective would also be helpful. Here are even more things that were wrong with MAT.

“He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence, moving from topic to topic so that no one had a chance to interrupt him” Spoiler review in alt text
Angel Down by Daniel Kraus

This book was fantastic and everyone should read it. A war novel with a solid helping of cosmic horror when an Angel falls into a WWI battleground. The “one long sentence” gimmick is well managed and doesn’t detract from the experience

Interesting alternate history of Indian Independence. I really enjoyed the character work and the rebel organizing, but I really wanted more alternate history world building. Mostly the time shift seemed like a device to avoid the complications of the actual decolonization process

Bring Back the Gathering: How to Save Competitive Magic | Articles | Magic: the Gathering - Metagame
Competitive Magic is at a crossroads. Once defined by packed local events, Grand Prix weekends, Pro Points and a clear path from the local store to the Pro Tour, the game has gradually shifted toward a more casual identity. In this article, Andrea Mengucci looks at what Magic: The Gathering could do to rebuild its competitive ecosystem, from Organized Play and format accessibility to better promos, stronger incentives and a renewed focus on giving players meaningful reasons to compete.

Jammed some Invasion block with the disciple this weekend. Lesson learnt: Cavern Harpy is an absolutely busted Magic card. Paying 1 life to dodge removal, then picking up and recasting a battlemage? Incredible. The 7 year old got his revenge doing serious damage with a Zombie Boa in our next game.
