Was just browsing a couple Trek subreddits and the response to these cards has generally been much more positive than in some MTG spaces. That includes a number of folks talking about trying to collect the full set or getting back in after potentially decades away. UB doing its job I guess.

Sounds like the Star Trek fans are happy with the cards. That's good to hear.

If you can't start looking at cards like "magic mechanic with Star Trek art" rather than "star trek card" idk what to tell you cause this card is FIIIIRRREEEEE

At the end of the day...with MTG, if a card is bringing people joy and not harming anyone....that good. Whether in-universe or universe beyond. A hobby is meant to be enjoyed. Also, with UB...designers want to make cards around there favorite things and you can tell by the love they put in it.

I've been so happy to see most of the cards today, but I'm still struggling in trying not to let the Trek negativity get me down. This is the first UB I've really been *this* pleased with and just lingering in the back of my mind is this post from Hobbes.

I got super demoralized around Spider-Man because I finally was really excited and everyone's absolute just immediate hate turned me off so completely

Speaking of random commons, this card being all flavor text is perfect and I love it.

LevDev Quandrix Gradulate@levdev.bsky.social · 8h ago

Cynical as many can be about UB, the amount of joy a random draft common is bringing to players and Star Trek fans is cool to see.

Hey Magic the Gathering BlueSky, if you're wondering why the Intro Deck cards were dropped into the Card Gallery... Here ya go for the "why": The biggest Star Trek convention of the year is starting today.

Badgey should always be hit with whatever vehicle you have available to you. Preferably a California class starship though.

🔥🔥El-Sayed/Tlaib 2028🔥🔥

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 10h ago

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

Abdul El-Sayed’s win represents a big blow to the politics of bygone days. Because if one campaign can show that *that* much money and *that* much old guard support doesn’t guarantee victory, it cracks open what can be imagined. It widens the aperture of what’s possible.

Will This Be AIPAC’s Biggest Defeat – Ever?

Prem was on hand in Michigan to witness the nail-biter between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens, which appears to have gone down as an astonishing failure for AIPAC.

Secret Lair is doing the thing that everyone wanted and I haven't seen a million videos covering it. When no one got the Goblin Storm deck it was on everyone page, complaining. This community needs to be more positive news oriented. I want everyone to know the good news.

At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.

"Uncomitted" was a primary movement, not a general election movement. El-Sayed endorsed Kamala Harris.

Delta Nupe@itsnotuitsme1911.bsky.social · 17h ago

El-Sayed won. I’m urging Black Detroiters to STAY HOME and be “uncommitted’ like El-Sayed was for Kamala Harris during the general election. Dearborn voted for TRUMP instead of the Black Lady. I’m encouraging Black Detroit to vote for Jill Stein or Trump , like the Arabs in Dearborn did in 24!

El-Sayed pretty much has this. Steven's is failing to meet or exceed key markers statewide in MI. After Hong likely wins WI governor next week the narative of socialism only winning on the east coast will be completely shattered.

Going to have to decide which basics to run...

Ok, so what I've settled on here is that this is for some kind of lovecraftian/hellraiser style Phyrexian reanimator deck. What are the best spells for that thematically? I'm not looking for anything too generic, no zombify. I need Eldritch and horrific.

I'm not a Miku fan and have no personal interest in this deck, but this is a great change.

Good news

Lol this sucks, like, in general. You'd think a luxury brand would do better after charging so much, but capitalism gotta do its thing. Can't wait for every car to start pulling this shit 🙃

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Ads Take Over Car Dashboards Despite BMW Promising It Would Never Do That:

Got to take Mr Foxglove for a spin tonight, very cool. Dropping a Starwinder onto the field mid combat is very strong and I highly recommend it. Also triggering Moonshaker Cavalry 4 times in a turn. Surprisingly I did not win, that honor went to a Yarok deck that I probably should have killed first.

Can confirm that Shorikai in Gundam form is a sweet proxy. I have one and I love it.

Reya Artbringer - Graphic Artist 4 Hire@kompreya.com · 4d ago

Welcome to August! The Shorikai proxy I designed in the style of an old discontinued Gundam TCG is this month's KoFi member reward. Plus, I'm going to try to design a Pilot token to go with it, and maybe even try to design a 3D printed mini gunpla kit. Try being the keyword. Stay tuned!

There are at least *three* right-wing text-based social media sites, one owned by The Actual President, another by the richest man in history, and all of which openly foster white supremacy. But those are not the ones every op-ed page in the western world is sneering about

All the cards from Mystery Booster Commander have been revealed! But what's up with the rulebreaker mechanic? I thought I'd make a short video talking about it for those curious: youtube.com/shorts/A9GHt...
