Magic exhibition in Minnesota? Can’t wait to see it myself!

The word is out A full run Magic: The Gathering art exhibition at an art museum is coming next year. Finally. This is real. The call for art is live! mmam.org/call-for-art...

I had the opportunity to help create 5 new basic land cards (like this Island) that will be sold on Arena in June to raise money to protect Rainforests and Barrier Reefs! Each card is inspired by some of the Magic found in our natural world. Read more here: magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-...

This absolutely rules! MPR 🤝Magic 🤝 Good Luck High Five! I grew up in Minnesota playing Magic at the Wizards of the Coast store in Mall of America. 🫶

I love MPR with all my heart so I was ecstatic to be featured on All Things Considered today! 💗

There was a bug with today's Qualifier Weekend so we are rewarding all players 2 additional wins. If you finished with 5 wins, expect to receive a day 2 token and play tomorrow!

There's a bug with Qualifier Weekend Day 1 where 2 Losses causes elimination instead of 3. We'll be granting all players 2 additional wins on their reward track, so if you got 5 wins in the Day 1, you'll still qualify for Day 2 and receive an Entry Token for tomorrow's event.

We are renaming Explorer to Pioneer and adding 11 new cards to the game! I wrote more about this change here: magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-... #wotcstaff

For Six Drop Saturday, checkout this card I made for Alchemy: Bloomburrow on Arena. The original design in this slot had technical issues so we had to create an alternative design for “payoff for an Otter Spells deck.” Storm on Lightning Bolt felt like a wild and exciting dream to build. #wotcstaff

For Six-Drop Saturday, here's a card I made in Battlebond! It was designed to be a potential Natural Order target in Legacy (which it did see some play as!) but also has shown up plenty just slammed for 6 mana on Commander tables. #wotcstaff

Pioneer Masters is coming to MTG: Arena on December 10th and I have 3 preview cards to reveal from the upcoming set! #wotcstaff First up with a new art piece by Yohann Schepacz is an Eldrazi classic. It’s Void Shatter!
