Friendly reminder that this is a video from someone who is being paid by the casino to play a slot machine to show you how great slot machines are. The problem is that by the time YOU play the slot machine, it'll be paying out quarters instead of dollars. As a wise man once said, "Buy singles."

Anyone have a clue what this backpack is called or what it might be worth? Acquired it with a collection and can't find it on the manufacturer's website

This Saturday. I'll be doing pack prizes for pod winners in the Command Zone (it's a single 8ft table) and will have light refreshments. Cash preferred.

My final Mana Club for the foreseeable future is up. I talk about looking for things in the Magic community I desperately needed to fix in myself. Thank you to everyone who sat through the constant reinvention and need for validation. I'll see ya when I see ya. ❤️

I remember a time when someone would see someone else had an original idea years earlier and decided against trampling over them to produce derivative content for a channel that already has a million 'contents' going. Am I the sinkhole?! 🙃

There's a tension between Ambassador product serving as soft pay for creators and what it COULD do in communities. No judgement if people need to crack it and sell singles but I'm here to applaud this ⬇️

My 2022 album Tales of Etherspace is still a decent intro to my work. Its 16 tracks cover both my accessible, "musical" side but also my weirder, abrasive "experimental" side --all in tight timeframes (longest track is just 4 min!). etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/tales-... Headphones recommended!

Genuinely grateful for the people who keep sharing this work. Mike is a real one. Someone trick him into coming to Denver.

I love reading @jakebrowne.com because I'm about the farthest from knowing anything about the nuances of pro tour Magic. Hard to ignore a phenomenal storyteller though: manaclub.substack.com/p/33-greatness

Reddit really failed this person. "Yes, you can play Pauper!" No, you can't. Not with random bulk commons. Pauper Commander? With whom? Becoming annoyed with the community being 'technically correct' over actual helping people. Help new players. They don't know what they don't know.

Had to peace out in the finals of a 64 but I think I was cooked against a very good Nadu deck regardless. No one wanted to draft artifacts today. Moved off a P1P1 Reanimate in draft one, draft two was a blur because I was writing. Good to be back in these after a break.

Seriously bummed to be passed on for a Tarkir: Dragonstorm ambassador spot. It was the set that brought me back to Magic, is the format for the upcoming Spotlight Series in my city, and I'll be writing extensively about it. Does anyone know if a Magic writer has ever been selected for the program?

The giveaway is getting preeeeeetty good over at Mana Club. It's like that Pizza Hut program from when we were kids: a lil treat for reading. If a reader doesn't claim the weekly prize, I add something and roll it all over to the next issue. Wouldn't be possible without my friends at PropagandaMTG.

Hi. If you’re reading this, I don’t care if you’re still on X. Every major platform and service we rely on harvests our data—it’s the dystopia we live in. Staying doesn’t mean complacency, and leaving isn’t a cure. We all have different needs, and fighting each other over it won’t fix the system.
