  1. it's a quandrary, how do you put a headliner vitally important planeswalker character on common cards so he's fundamental to the themes? Well, it seems you make a version of him that sucks pants. #magicthegathering

  2. as a designer you choose where you're putting the most complex ideas, where you're asking players to focus, or you just overwhelm them and they drop out. Empower Jace is consuming a LOT of that complexity budget and I can imagine how necessary it is to put jace on common cards...

    but it does not look worth it -at all-. #magicthegathering

  3. Empower Jace doesn't strike me as bad but I do assume that the second I'm not drafting Reality Fracture I will never see any of these cards ever again #magicthegathering

  5. Has my brain been cooked by non-stop spoiler seasons, or are the Reality Fracture reveals coming really slowly? We're supposed to have the whole set by the end of the week, right?

  6. We had a super fun Commander night today. So fun that I forgot to take photos today.

    In the third and last game, I managed to take my Zinnia, Valley's Voice deck to victory by taking out all my three opponents in my last turn.

  7. By Mark Rosewater's own standards of parasitic mechanics being bad and shitting on Kamigawa block forever, Empower Jace has to be one of the worst new mechanics in a while.

    I'm excited to play the set but I'm looking forward to hearing his thoughts on how this is different or innovative aside from just stapling surveil and card draw onto stuff, and forcing awkward permanent types as an limited archetype.

  8. I want to build new commander decks and I have ideas for them but as soon as I start all motivation leaves me. Any tips?

  9. I think I secretly want to be a heel.

    Dredge is no longer good. Me: Modern stinks

    Land destruction at 9-2 in the RC. Me: Hmm.... 😳

  10. Sometimes I feel draft is my favourite way to play Magic, sometimes I feel it’s a good Commander pod with good friends, but increasingly I’m having to admit to myself that my favourite way to play Magic is the Scryfall advanced search syntax.

  11. Card night was fun, Garnet, Shroofus, and Sam/Frodo all notched wins :D Pod got a little fussy towards the end of the night as one player took a 20 minute turn and didn't kill anyone :P Still, good times.

  12. Master of Barbs looks like it'll be good in that red-white token/warleader's call deck. #magicthegathering #realityfracture

  13. Congratulations to Jun Hao Zhang, winner of our Riftbound: Vendetta Summoner Skirmish! The new set is coming soon. Stay tuned for our Pre-Rift events to be announced!

  14. Tam, to Karn: "Hey, um, I'm also the product of a megalomaniacal planeswalker's deeply unethical scheme to 'fix' the multiverse, and I also inherited his spark when it inevitably blew up in his face. Uh, any tips on living with that legacy?"

  15. I think Conjure and Gareth One-Eye Tech can mostly be pulled into alignment, I think drafting cards from spellbooks pretty much works. It doesn't make printing a card with a SCROLL BAR on it is reasonable. #magicthegathering

  16. RIP Alchemy. You were my gateway onto Arena, and I definitely have problems with some of your cards and ideas, but I like that you tried. #magicthegathering

  17. Innistrad was finally invaded by a threat that would give them a serious fight - More Innistrad.
