Our next game was just announced (and this time I was the design lead! First since Battle Bosses)

This year, I spent my Birthday at work and I could not be happier about it. 2025 marks 10 years since I joined the Magic coverage team. Pro Tour Aetherdrift was my ~50th Pro Tour as part of that team. Can’t think of a better birthday than getting to do this for a living 🙂

🏆 Congratulations to Matt Nass, winner of Pro Tour Aetherdrift!🏆 Known for his prowess with combo decks, it's no surprise that Nass was able to outmaneuver the field with Domain Overlords to secure his first ever Pro Tour victory. Congratulations again, Matt! #PTDFT

Saw some absolutely unhinged takes re: cheating today. Absolutely ran the gamut from no one did anything wrong to everyone is always cheating to it’s nbd to try and go back entire turns. I know we’re so back meme, but I genuinely feel there is a real need for much improvement.

We have a trophy for the winner of BDM Presents Grand Melee Full Box Sealed Mystery Booster 2!

2 things I know: - The Domain mirror can be a ridiculous slog - Matt Nass trained for this for years in the forges of the Krark-Clan Ironworks. #PTAetherdrift #MCChicago

My Hauntwoods? Overlorded. My doom? Impending. My land tokens? Baby, you KNOW they're Everywhere. #PTDFT

Primeval Titan and... Sylvan Primordial? It's been a weird week at the Movers and Shakers. infinite.tcgplayer.com/article/The-...

While you're at MagicCon, TAKE. PICTURES. WITH. YOUR. FRIENDS. I can not express how important they will be to you one day.

Self-signal boost for friends coming to #MagicCon #MCChicago who would like to take the train direct from O’Hare into the city.

Recovering from the flu. Am miserable.

Haven't been online enough to know what the consensus is on Aetherdrift, but after a handful of Arena events I've been a big fan of how the Speed mechanic has played out in practice. Very much a... race to achieve max speed and level up your cards. Makes for some fun and nonintuitive combat choices

Especially in these times, people will often attack me for my career choice following “children’s card games.” I don’t think they realize I was covering natural disasters before this. My journalism mentors PhD was in Trauma in Journalists. The brain can only take it for so long. Too many body bags.

Did the hard thing today & finished my silly article about Music that I didn't want to but it is done & I'm proud of a sentence or two open.substack.com/pub/caljones...

Well said. I can’t imagine using ChatGPT. I’ve written professionally for 18 years straight now. I wouldn’t even know how to compose an article if I wasn’t building it as I went. I don’t know how other people work, but I outline very little. I tell myself a story & let my fingers do their own thing
