Now that all of #mtgfracture has been revealed, I am excited to go in depth on Empower Jace! I am very proud of it. #wotcstaff

Today I decided to talk a little bit about the mirrored legends of FRA. These cards were very difficult to design and develop: They have loads of constraints and high expectations. We were up to the challenge though, and I think they turned out really sweet! 1/N

Now that all of #mtgfracture has been revealed, I am excited to go in depth on Empower Jace! I am very proud of it. #wotcstaff

EMPOWER JACE IS HERE!! I consider it my finest professional accomplishment (so far). Look forward to me yapping about it at length once the full set is spoiled! #mtgfracture

Today marks ten years to the day that I first exhibited my games at a convention (GaymerX 3 in San Jose). I went into the convention as someone who basically designed things at random and, after many interactions with congoers and booth neighbors, emerged a great designer

My final thread on #MTGEternities is about void! Void has a very lengthy development history, and I hope I have time to capture it all! #wotcstaff

Today's #mtgeternities design thread is on Warp! You might be surprised to find out which card first inspired this mechanic... #wotcstaff

Today's design thread on #MTGEternities is about Station! Station came from our earliest exploration into what "Space Magic" should look like – our big question was, "what differentiates sci-fi from fantasy, and how do we capture that mechanically?" #wotcstaff

A while ago I built @travisnorman.bsky.social's JundJund and it was super fun. With input from some Play Designers, I developed a tweaked list, and I've posted it on Moxfield if you're interested #wotcstaff

Greetings, terrans! Xu-Ifit has resurrected my social media presence as a baleful space skeleton for one purpose: To yap about #MTGEternities. Look for posts comin' down the posting chute over the next week or so!

I designed this, and I'm really happy with how it came out! Some thoughts: • It's blue and black because I felt those were the colors that best fit Precious and an artifact strategy in general. The Universes Beyond joke is cute but was done on a previous HOTR (Byode) #wotcstaff

I’m incredibly honored to receive this Heroes of the Realm card for my work on LTR! What should its Precious be? Surely it holds the Aetherspark dear… #WOTCstaff

It's time to announce the schedule! Thread below with the details, you can also find the schedule on the event page. All in all, the stream will go from 10am Pacific till 8pm, and I will be on the whole time hosting, introducing, and sometimes joining my wonderful colleagues!

Hey everyone! Using feed-based social media is bad for my health so don't expect me to show up often, but when I do it'll be to offer design insights into sets I worked on (and the occasional dumb joke I can't resist posting). #wotcstaff
