THAT'S MY FUCKING BOY RIGHT THERE! My first pack I ever opened was an 8th edition booster that came free in a magazine. I had no Idea what Magic was, I was a Yugioh Player. But 2 cards stuck in my head. Unsummon (it was a cool dragon being sucked into a portal), and GIANT MOTHERFUCKING BADGER!
Walking with @nuclearrayne.bsky.social one evening in Amsterdam, I mentioned my love of The Royal Scions. One of my favourite cards Today and a packidge arrives... IT'S ONLY A BLOODY AP OF THE TWINS! THANK YOU SO MUCH RAYNE! Gonna have to get @paulscottcanavan.com to scribble on the back one day
IMAX time baby Can’t wait to get out of here at 3am 😅
Another #MCAmsterdam in the books. What a great fucking weekend. Getting to meet people new and old from across the world is always an incredible pleasure and events like this always refuel the soul. I fukcking love this game and the people around it and I can't wait to do it all again next year!
Couldn't get everything I wanted signed at a MagicCon: Amsterdam, but made a good dent. Canlander continues to look fancy, and excited to get more signatures next year. 🥰 #MCAmsterdam
this is glorious juxtaposition between something very silly and something very serious. thanks to @emmapartlow.com for screencapping 😅
Check in took 10 minutes. Security, including bag search and swab test took 10. Going much better than the flight out!
JK Rowling uses her Harry Potter money to fund lawsuits against companies that support trans rights so no, I do not care what Hogwarts house you are in.
Half call-out, half reminder for the weekend 😅 @florianherold.bsky.social I need to find you and get my erode signed! @inkeyjay.bsky.social I need to find you and get my preordain signed! @michaelkatchan.bsky.social i need to find you and get proxies! And gush about your work to all 3 of you!
#kiblergoogle when does badge pick up close today? Not gonna be there till 5 at the earliest
On a flight 2:45 later than planned. BUT I am £215 richer so there’s that. And the staff were very helpful about the whole thing so could be much worse

So, with me likely here for a while and in the spirit that Kristen has started it’s time for a DAMATMWCDYP. (Don’t ask me anything tell me what Canlander deck you’d play)
Kristen@narukamiknight.bsky.social · 3w agoIn the airport, so DAMATMHYA (Don’t ask me anything tell me how you are)

I'm going to be in MagicCon Amsterdam these weekend! Idk if anyone here is going but would love to say hi, play or something, sign some cards even
Nicky Barkla is a new to Magic artist. I was unfamiliar with her work but had to check because I refused to believe that this represents her generally quality. Sure enough, it doesn't. Some of her stuff is incredible and I hope she gets to do more for MTG. www.instagram.com/nickybarkla/...
PleasantKenobi@pleasantkenobi.bsky.social · 3w agoThis is the ugliest fucking card I have ever seen. Holy shit, is it HIDEOUS.
Today in rankings no one asked for Muse hit 10 albums this month gone and having had them on repeat for all of June I have decided a definitive Wilko album ranking From best - least good represented by my go-to favourite song from the album
You do 1 set of proxies and google ai makes it your entire personality I can’t search my name as otherwise the actor just pops up Also ‘prominent content creator’ is a hilarious lie
MaxMakesMagic@maxmakesmagic.com · 4w agoWell, I don't get a photo, but everything else seems mostly good! Maybe would have liked a little nod to cosplaying. tbh if I wanted to seed things in Google I would write LLM-friendly summaries on my website to coerce its results 😅
Another thing about Canadian Highlander is that you'll start with something simple as say Mono-White Aggro or Medium Red, you'll sneeze and then surprise! You're now playing a four-color pile that Isn't-Czech-Pile-But-Actually-Is-Czech-Pile and you've now completed the rite of passage into greed.
