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...

Every con, @gavinverhey.bsky.social and I have a tradition of celebrating our joy and friendship and the value of gathering together. It is absolutely my favorite thing to do at magic con.

This year our goal is to provide #TrevorProject & #TransLifeline with $150,000 of support. The best way to help is to attend the #Magic event that is as unique and joyous as the people we support. Get tickets at CommanderSealed.com and help our LBGTQ+ allies

Today, after a trial unban period, we are re-banning High Tide in Pauper. This is due to a combination of power level, impact on player experience, and impact on the format as a whole. Interested in a more detailed breakdown? #wotcstaff

1v1 Magic is full of lessons and strategies you can use to up your Commander gameplay. This episode, we’ve enlisted help from some of the best of the best: pro players, competitive streamers, and hall of famers. Get ready for a ton of level-up moments: youtu.be/5kDU67RVIhY

Hi Pauper players! I wanted to provide an update on High Tide. With the wider Magic B&R announcement moved two weeks earlier, we will now be making our check-in (and any potential B&R update) that day as well. So that's November 10th. You'll hear more at that time! #wotcstaff

What are your favorite commons and uncommons for Commander OTHER than just top staples? Hit me with some faves! Here's one that has been a big overperformer for me. Chips in for a ton of damage, and pretty easily to start making a 1/1 every turn with this in many blue decks. Nice card! #wotcstaff

Come for the Pauper content, stay for the Gavin ASMR that is the last 15 minutes of the video!

As a kid, I fell in love with Star Trek - the exploration, characters, and dilemmas alike. So it was incredible to lead design a set covering the whole series! (Shout-out to @ethanfleischer.bsky.social who led vision!) I can't wait for you to see (and draft!) it in November 2026. Engage!

Really special week at Wizards: the Commander Summit. We brought out everyone on the Commander Format Panel who could make it for three days of talking, collaborating, and, of course, playing Commander! So happy to be surrounded in working on this format with so many smart and passionate people. ❤️

Hey Pauper players! Wanted to give an update as we end August - we're still evaluating High Tide. The format continues to evolve and we'd like a bit more time. You can still expect a check in (and option to ban) before the Nov B&R date, in late Sept/early Oct. Thanks! #wotcstaff

What card would you put in THIS deck? 😆 I can't wait to see whatever deranged deck somebody builds with this Unknown prize card: #wotcstaff

Seems good #wotcstaff

Got my weird promo Kor Skyfishers signed here at GenCon. How many of you even knew these existed??? I look forward to defeating people in Pauper with my signed, no expansion symbol cards that advertise the website for the very game we're already playing: #wotcstaff
