If it’s not too late, please @magic.wizards.com do not make people who had years and years of HoF eligibility eligible again without multiple new top finishes. Let’s focus on how great JED is not whether Wyatt Earp really did clean up the game in 1988 or whatever.
I won a box of cards by figuring out I should put Thor and his hammer into my deck.
Lost our win and in at SCG Vegas. Fun event as always with team limited. Good luck to @tommartell.bsky.social in t4
So Cal folks, this is good people running a good cEDH event. Help sell it out! topdeck.gg/event/the-fi...

Funny in the same set WotC was smelling their own farts over another reminder text for the double power up creature, they give us this reminder text. One of the worst of all time imo.
If any Republicans want to have an obscure wide receiver-off I will wipe the floor with them.
Big fan of your limited set reviews @chordocalls.bsky.social and @neo-mtg.bsky.social but we really need to solve the grading standards mismatch. You guys still get to play the same number of cards and cut the same number even if one of you gave all of them 1-2 grades higher grades. Ideas to fix:
GPU’ve Got Mail Prompty in Pink When Harry Met a Model of Sally Look Who’s Token
Benjamin@benjaminschneider.ch · 4mo agoyou've got mail (1998) but they're both talking to claude
Rhystic Study and Mystic Remora remain legal in cEDH, so I had fun playing Legacy and Premodern this week. Vote with your feet. (I also voted with my words in the @highermtg.bsky.social poll)
The “Secret Lair IS that bad” to “Proxying stand alone decks and formats and RL cards” is NOT that bad pipeline keeps humming along
I know what needs to be done about the copy my Rhystic Study meta. I just don’t know if I have the courage to do it. cards.scryfall.io/large/front/...
Little bit of old little bit of new at last nights cEDH meetup. Revived Slicer with some new cards and brought my Superior Spider-Man deck as well. Both decks performed great! Still feeling reluctant to invest time in cEDH tourneys with Rhystic legal and the yap for draws meta, but meetup v fun
Bluesky overindexes on humorless scolds and people doing identity formation by arguing with something you didn't say but that doesn't make it an echo chamber; it means the place has an institutional culture, and I much prefer that culture to fending off Nazis with a block button that doesn't work
What could be more normal than an opponent casting Unbury targeting two Gloom Ripper?
Formats get “solved” when cards like Cori Steel + Vivi aren’t reasonably beatable but what does this change accomplish? That players with less time to practice submit decks that crash into the brick wall? That enfranchised players know the format is 💩 but can’t prove it? I don’t get it.
Robert Taylor 🔥@fireshoes.bsky.social · 6mo agoLike, I know they think there is this big problem with data access and metagames getting solved quickly, but like, look at the tremendous churn we have in current Standard. Large competitive events with full data create amazing formats!
Lorwyn Eclipsed sealed deck is a great way to get in touch with all the things that are not fun about sealed deck.
Rhystic and Remora are so miserable for length of game, play pattern, and color balance in cEDH. They’re getting Brainstorm in Legacy “pillar” treatment. “People strongly associate the DMV with long lines, so we aren’t taking this clear step to shorten lines” type justification.

10-6 to re qualify. Needed to snag some more draft wins to break through. Fun event.
Went 5-0 in standard to finish day 1 with a 6-2 record. #PTLorwynEclipsed
Paired against my best friend (best man at my wedding) round 1 of #PTLorwynEclipsed
Although Kai Budde was initially a hero of mine during his great run of PT wins, he then became a friend and teammate for many years. He is one of the best to ever pick up a card, but I’m so blessed that the first thing I think of when I hear his name is his smile.
Won 7 boxes of Avatar Play Boosters. They shipped me 1 box. Off to customer support we go.
Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.
They’re gonna realize the spoilers for the next set at the current set’s prerelease was an advertising bridge/accelerator and make it a thing. (I hate it here)
