The gang has arrived at MagicCon!

Dunno if y’all are ready for a barrage of Minecraft AND Magic content. “We don’t want to hear about how you put hats on salamander tokens, we want more weapons!” “What’s a chicken jockey? Some kind of a mount from Aetherdrift?” …are the two entirely made-up scenarios I’m hearing in my head. 😂

Okay since I don’t have the problem I used to have on Twitter, with a gigantic audience that cared mostly about Minecraft, and because more Magic-playing friends and mutuals keep finding me here, I am seriously considering merging my split accounts back into one.

Does anyone have recommendations for three-ring TCG binder replacement pages? I'm looking for top-loaders, so they quit flying out while people turn my trade binder's pages, and ideally for them to be fillable from both sides. I liked Dragon Shield's but can't find top-loading.

Magic detectives, I bought some custom extended art inner sleeves and I forgot which one this was for 😂 Any ideas?

Hitting my Drannith Magistrate with a Saw in Half in response to removal feels so good that it should be illegal.

Last week I ran a 12 hour, 40 person Magic: the Gathering event at the Mojang office! Coworkers, friends, and local industry devs brought food and showed off their Easter-themed decks. We had a raffle with fabulous prizes, including Minecraft-themed tokens and playmats!

Six months ago I sent Graham a resealed pack with 15 alt art Ice Outs and it made its way into a streamed draft. 😅

Just some custom, fan-made, Minecraft MtG designs I've been messing around with. Creating top-down designs of things I know and like is always a relaxing activity. Would you let me play these at your commander table? 😁

I forgot to post the results of this after it went at Desert Bus this year, but the Minecraft tokens and signed playmats I put together raised over two thousands dollars for Child's Play!

I finally got in a game where I got to pick all ten numbers 🤣

Assuming that you play Talion on turn four, you can play another non-legendary Talion on each of your following turns, and the game goes long... what order are you picking the numbers 1-10?

I went 3-0 in the Lorwyn Eclipsed draft! 🎉

Magic pals- I’ve been making custom tokens and sending them to be professionally printed, but I’m looking for someone who is better/faster at it than me, who has some image editing skills, and can partner up with me. If you’re a Minecraft fan I will make this worthwhile for you. 😁

Banging my little drum again for any Magic players who collect planeswalkers, I have a little Facebook group for people to talk and share. There are dozen of us! www.facebook.com/groups/58849...

Hanging out on the Secret Lair site so I can get in line for the line. The site is going for blackout on which errors it can throw: 500, 502, 504; I'm halfway expecting a 418 to show up!

Shouting into the void: Commander decks over the years have featured oversized commanders, which I don't get, and thick commanders, the same size as the actual commander card. But since they can do an alternate, not-legal commander, could we start getting some lenticular cards or something neat?

What's the most absurd hoop you've jumped through in a game of Magic, just for laughs or to style on the table with something amazing? I'm thinking back to an April Fools acorn commander game where my buddy pulled off Battle of Wits by bringing multiple other decks into the game and combining them.

A few weeks ago, I wrapped up MarcCon 2025, a mini Magic convention I organized for my 40th birthday. A secret goal I set for myself: dust off my CE Black Lotus and surprise slam it in its first in-game appearance… but only by copying a friend’s Garth One-Eye commander. I did it!

Hear me out: for Universes Beyond, keep the ones that really don't have a Magic vibe like Spider-Man or Doctor Who to commander decks, scene boxes, and the like. While I don't *love* UB in standard, mostly due to the prices, I don't mind as much if we get, say, Elder Scrolls rather than Marvel.

I know this isn't a great card early game, but I'm still kind of surprised that this card doesn't see more play. I only ran across this because of its new printing.

Rankle’s obnoxiously mismatched manabase update. Each and every swamp must tilt someone somehow. It has become an exercise in creativity. If 1 is “white-bordered”, and 10 is “Black Lotus but sharpied over to say Swamp”, I think I’m operating at like 2-6. We can go deeper.

This is what you are funding @ultimateguard.bsky.social when you make HP licensed products A billionaire who uses her massive wealth & influence to bully, harass, & strip the rights of Trans individuals - who make up a sizeable amount of your customer base

The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

I’ve been buying and recommending @ultimateguard.bsky.social deckboxes almost exclusively for a while, but with today’s shitshow I’ll be looking for alternatives. Anyone know of deckboxes with the same form factor as Boulder 100s?

Hey @ultimateguard.bsky.social are the marginals on these boxes post-licencing worth directly funding anti-trans policy? Or do you just generally hate queer people? Asking for my audience, & those of my other creator friends xoxo

i really like ultimate guard boulders and katana sleeves. too bad i'm never buying any of them ever again.

Looking for a way to speed up your deck building on Moxfield? Just drag and drop them in from @scryfall.com! #MTG

Picked this deck box up from @ultimateguard.bsky.social and I was so excited until I flipped it over. Looks like my art was extended with ai. @magic.wizards.com needs to make sure their partners don’t do this. I would have happily extended this for a couple hundred $$. Instead it looks awful!

PLEASE STOP SHOWING SPIDER-MAN CARDS I just want one week with my silly little space ships. PLEASE.

Every time I see a Final Fantasy card I’m reminded of how much more I saved and how disappointed I’ve been. Collector booster boxes are $1,300+ or out of stock. I once again want to throw money at WotC but can’t. Looks like EoE will similarly outprice me. I can’t even whale here Jesus Christ.
