@bugsmaytrix.bsky.social recently praised Hero of Bladehold and I remembered how much I loved pairing her up with Geist-Honored Monk back in Scars/Innistrad Standard. Even moreso after a dear friend gave me a foil to match. If I could get @shivambhatt.bsky.social to marry them, I would. 🥰

When I see these cards it makes it even more reasonable to me that Rhystic / Smothering gotta go. Bounding the effect to once per turn is the fair way of providing this effect in FFA

If I post here, do people see it? I had a fun mtg content idea and was going to start posting here. Adding extremely cool old card for engagement.

I’m excited to reveal Delighted Halfling, my first card for MtG's Hobbit set. It was a pleasure to paint this small Halfling child! Thank-you to Art Director Sarah Wassell for bringing me onto the project, and to Wizards for giving me this preview card to share. #Hobbit #MtG

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

WotC declined to voluntarily recognize our union by Friday, May 1st. While we're disappointed in this delay, together we remain strong in our convictions. We look forward to sitting down at the bargaining table so we can make Arena better for workers, for Wizards, and for our players. #UWOTC-CWA

God it just can’t stay this bleak forever right. Like we’re gonna do solar and the seas won’t cover the coasts and we’ll stop betting on societal collapse and remember that we’re here to be kind to each other right.

The Trump administration has approved the acquisition of 9NEWS' parent company, TEGNA, by Fox31's parent company, Nexstar. Nexstar issued a statement praising President Trump, who says the deal will "help knock out the Fake News." Nexstar has declared itself "the anti-fake news"

After all of this they still nag checked me and took all my shit apart. I broke down crying. I hate this so fucking much. I am so tired of this. This isn't fair.

Another example where I just assumed/thought/read the vaccine rollbacks were a done deal BUT NO. They were illegal, immediately challenged in court, and overturned today. Keep suing and don't believe any of it.
