Good luck, gamer!

Absolutely, yes. Magic is already a premium hobby without tacking on licensing fees from other IP. The prices our local store put up are under MSRP, btw. On every single item. This is absolutely not how you price a product when people are hurting financially. Even luxury hobby items.

I didn’t even think about the licensing fees for FF when they started previews. Had no idea it was going to be LOTR expensive. I totally agree with you on the insanity. This is ridiculous.

Instantly donated. I love this fundraiser and will donate every year.

it amuses me that the image shows a somewhat readable card. In practice these things are completely illegible and useless.

Game 2 of r7 was a shitload of fun to watch. I had to watch w/out sound while playing commander and had to guess your reasonings. Just a fantastic game. Sorry the event didn’t break right for you but man that round was sweet.

Glad to see you’re here on bsky. Was missing the screencaps, twitch clips, and deck lists

As a lowly NVIDIA employee, I agree today's been a bit harsh. I still think it's a good place to keep some money, however. The new 5080 and 5090 consumer cards release on Thursday and that should be good news for investors.

Been awhile since I thought of either of these cards. :) I used Instill Energy on my Royal Assassin to kill two of my opponents creatures per turn. I never could get Nether Shadow to work. It was always just too weak to do much.

Fun to play with Awaken the Woods :)

You have to completely ignore him when he talks. He just runs his mouth with literally no thought behind it. He lies with nearly every word. He babbles with every other. He very rarely follows through on anything so just let paw-paw ramble on and don't waste energy trying to figure out wtf.

2b: When Trump lies about something my plan is just nod and smile and say, "Sure, Donald. Whatever you say." It's January 6th, 2025 and I'm already tired of him. I'm just so god damn tired.

My scryfall regex search didn't omit MDFC cards so my "9/10" comment was totally off. Eerie Interference is still the shortest card name with 7 e's though :)

comment in response to post
10 cards have 7 e's in them. 9 of them are MDFC cards. The only one that's not is cards.scryfall.io/large/front/... which is also the shortest name

Highly recommend you watch @tolariancommunitycollege.com 's video on it: bsky.app/profile/tola... He goes over all the archetypes, bombs, etc. An excellent video.

It is but I think it’ll be slower

So far it's been quite nice. It is much much quieter though. Makes it hard to doomscroll.

Muscle memory has me opening random internet news websites and I really really don't need that today. Stupid fingers. Stupid brain!

My favorite artist in all of Magic was there so I got this done:

Mission accomplished! Got to meet Shivam, the Professor, and PleasantKenobi. All 3 were beyond gracious enough to talk with me for a few minutes and that was super awesome. Thank you again!
comment in response to post
I'd like to meet @shivambhatt.bsky.social, @tolariancommunitycollege.com, and other Magic people. Extra credit if I can get a game of Commander in with them. I know a thousand others want to do the same thing so my odds are low. :/

cards.scryfall.io/large/front/... Obeka has been a lot of fun. Usually you have wait an entire turn cycle to take advantage of upkeep triggers but if you hit with Obeka, you get them immediately. Initiative, Monarch, etc are very very good. My list is here: www.moxfield.com/decks/GoKIGH...

Upheaval is a reach and you know it. I forgot about Acid Rain. That's on me.

I'm confused. There's no blue land destruction?

This was one of my favorite cards when I first started in Revised/Legends (same as you, iirc). Schuler's art sparks lovely memories for me. I remember being stunned it was reprinted in Ice Age. :)

Eh. I work from home. Besides, where else can I get scintillating discussions about Palisade peaches, random polls about college-level abstract math theory, blatant age jokes directed at @tolariancommunitycollege.com, and occasional lesbian insights about Minnesota?

Wait. It’s already better. @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is here.
