Dear @donnycaltrider.bsky.social and @basiclandbin.bsky.social Your article in @cascadecascade.com made me smile and want to share one of my pet decks (WB Talrand), as well as a few cards I've altered to have white borders myself 😊 cheers 🤘
we are pleased to announce that all writers for Issue 2 are getting paid $200 an article! This is a marked raise from Issue 1s $135, already a rate we were very proud of. This is, once again, possibly because of every reader’s monetary support of the publication. Thanks gamers <3

The crew! If you know, you know. But seriously, having all five of us in one place was so amazing, I knew I had to commemorate it with a photo. We're all mostly behind the scenes guys, but these gentlemen are pillars of the MTG community. #MTG #MagicTheGathering #MCAmsterdam
I'm going to try and do a little #MCAmsterdam photo thread as best I can, no promises (It'll probably be mostly food)
