Been playing a lot of limited to help locals with protour prep. This is my fav deck so far, always killed with mill or burn. Double Tidecaller was nuts and it’s making me consider it for cube.
NO! I am not looking to expand my professional network. I am looking for 7 unemployed friends with flexible schedules who can host a cube draft or ttrpg game once a week.
Updated Rock list, cut most the white! Put together AngelFire so I can still cast some stp. #premodern
Junk my beloved ❤️ #premodern A lot of printings & lands to upgrade plus deck layout skills to gain. But this is the most excited I’ve been about constructed since I bought 4 goyfs in 2016. Sideboard is a WIP targeting my local meta of rdw, money ball, & tog.
i feel like i've been seeing a flare up of zionism and anti-arab sentiment online lately, so on this relatively algorithm agnostic platform i do feel an obligation to restate: free Palestine. no one is free until Palestine is free. i will fight to live to see Palestinian liberation.
Can't possibly hit the nail on the head any harder. Luke is on one
"AI is upending of the psyches of people who build and sell the technology. It’s startling to watch the raw, almost gleeful desperation of these (presumably) bright folks as they completely submit themselves to a product that demands they shut off their minds and critical faculties."
I started playing Magic in 2006. My friend @deinonychus9.bsky.social started in 2020. We're exploring the nuances in starting the same game 14 years apart. 2011 features Mirrodin Besieged, New Phyrexia, M12, and Innistrad. We also talk about Zombies, Game of Thrones, Skyrim, and bans in Standard!

I joined the cool kids and built a premodern deck. Barely any of the cards are the correct printing but I am pumped. Overly complicated deck pic to come.

It took 12 drafts of GTT to finally kill Pack Rat and all the Swords of XY from the cube. Too weak for today, too strong for the past. Gotta send em to a farm up north where they’ll frolic in commander decks.
Apparently I’ve done this before?? I just finished day 1 so I went to find the day 2 recording and YouTube showed me as having watched it half through already 😅
The next two days of work are slow for me, so I started watching the full broadcast of ProTour Theros. Sooo many cool decks & players & segments!

I do not want to work today. I want to play magic and cast Huntmaster of the Fells.
Got pics of 1 of the 3 team drafts from today :) This was my winning team where I 3-0d with The Rock
8 hours of cube planned for today 🤩 excited to jam some recently acquired goods

I got to do my first stone soup draft today and it was so sick. Wish I got a deck pic, was on some UR affinity nonsense with mana crypt, fleshraker, and Traxos. This card was a surprising all-star
My fomo with all these Shoebox posts is immense. BUT seeing people’s cubes laid out is sick, I hope the weekend is a blast and yall post a bunch of deck pics!
the mtg/linguistics/trans nerds have translated "death before detransition" into phyrexian.
My Bodleian Cube update prior to @shoebox.gg cubecobra.com/cube/blog/bl... Bringing in some old favorites that are recontexualized by the changes since they left the cube. I can't wait to see many of you there and hear about your drafts of the cube.
So many people in the sports industry are territorial. Turf battles and big egos often spawn costly litigation. The Green Bay Packers, Grambling State and UGA take a different path with each using a "G" trademark: They smartly negotiated use agreements. www.sportico.com/law/analysis....
Grambling Scores ‘G’ Trademark as UGA, Packers Give Blessing
The USPTO approves the "G" trademark for Grambling State after the school, Green Bay Packers and Georgia figured out a way each could use a similar G.
