Trophied a last minute mixed up draft with Naya stats ft. a deathtouch pinger combo. If it were up to me every set would have a way to make your own Visara the Dreadful. Barbed Batterfist has gotta be my favorite limited common. At one point I had a 7/8 vs a 6/8 and then I equip--WOW! #WotCStaff

I did a Bo1 TDM draft challenge run from platinum to mythic only playing ally color decks (and 1 monocolor deck). All praise to Ojutai, Silumgar, Kologhan, Atarka, and Dromoka! Here is a thread of my best decks and lessons I learned for drafting the format. 1/12 #MTGTarkir #mtgdraft #WotCStaff

Please help. Which of these is the opposite of ludonarrative dissonance? * Ludonarrative Consonance * Ludonarrative Harmony * Ludonarrative Resonance #gamedesign #ludology

Not ready to think about Spider-Man? Immerse yourself in a panel on the Aetherdrift design process instead! youtu.be/rzLiyD3pkaE?... Come for the in depth worldbuilding, stay for this cameo of Nicol Bolas being wielded by a Grizzly Bear. #MTGAetherdrift #MCChicago #WotCStaff

I crossed the finish line! Got from bronze to mythic in Bo1 Aetherdrift draft before it’s time to leave for #MCChicago, where I’ll be on a panel on Sunday about the design of the set from start to finish! #MTGAetherdrift #WotCStaff Here is a thread to talk about my winning draft decks! #mtg #draft
