Magic: The Gathering writing has a short half-life. Historically-important articles are taken offline every year. This sucks. That's why I'm launching Library of Leng, an index of 32 years of Magic writing. 150k+ articles, 20+ sites, fully searchable. library-of-leng.com

I've been a big fan of retrospectives looking back at things like Magic: The Gathering and video game history. Since I write lots of MTG content, I figured I should do that myself! My first major retrospective article is live now, covering Modern Masters 2013! www.coolstuffinc.com/a/paigesmith...

My friend @mtgscribe.bsky.social had a great idea for an article about the fundamental heuristics of limited gameplay. So great that I’m doing a series instead, starting with limited manabases & general deck composition! www.patreon.com/posts/153143... @fireshoes.bsky.social

riwhobbies.com/jeskai-blink... Wrote about my take on Jeskai Blink on Modern without Ephemerate. The Modern RCQs are starting soon and this is my weapon of choice. Shares appreciated to continue bringing you free content on behalf of RIWHobbies!
