The Muckslinger Gang This piece is 7 years old, originally commissioned when I first started working for MTG, on Arena China exclusives as a Gruesome Menagerie alternate. Seems it's found it's way back around to paper, and as a legendary set of misfits. Quite the leg up, Jund weirdos

Vintage Magic the Gathering art! What a surprise to learn that an unpublished oldie for Magic finally gets a release! There are a couple more in their archive that have yet to see the light of day, so you never know.🤞

"It's not climate change, it's likely just someone not putting out a cigarette proper-" AND WHY IS ALL THE GRASS IN ENGLAND SO DRY THAT A COUPLE OF CARELESS CIGARETTE BUTTS COULD ENGULF THE NATION IN FLAME???

People will find their excuses to continue to purchase Tim Hortons. They'll say "oh but I'm not buying the HP donuts so it's fine" or "I'm just one person, it doesn't matter if I do it". My experience continues to teach me that "everyone is an ally until it costs them something".

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

2 Israeli settlers were killed yesterday when a Palestinian they were attacking managed to take their gun off them. That man, Farouk, was then killed by the IOF, along with 3 of his neighbours & the fascist state has launched vengeful pogroms in response. This is Zionism, & always has been.

4 more Palestinians have been murdered by Israelis in the occupied West Bank. As Nida' Ibrahim reports, since the beginning of this year 86 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank & Israeli settlers operate there with total impunity.

A small reminder from a Deaf Magic player: MTG Arena STILL does not have a visual cue for if an opponent chooses to shuffle off a Ponder. Wotc Staff has EXPLICITLY told players to just "turn your in-game sound up". This problem was brought to their attention 6 months ago. NOTHING has changed.

A discord message from WOTC_Abar (Alex):
What Jared said. If you are playing against an opponent with ponder,k I would encourage you to turn your in-game sound up for maximum information.

If the player chooses to shuffle, the game will make the shuffle sound effect.  If they keep on top, you will not hear the shuffle sound effect. 

It's obviously not an ideal solution, but hopefully that's at least a helpful tip for now.

stop. if you think the existence of a warrant is part of the conversation in any way, you cannot, by definition, argue that it makes any difference whether the guy they killed had a warrant or not. because right guy or wrong guy, an arrest warrant isn't a death sentence.

BREAKING: BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) - Homeland Security secretary said man killed by ICE in Maine was not the target of warrant, Maine Sen. Angus King says.
