Intro: I'm Cary. I run a Magic story search engine (@mtglore.bsky.social), I'm on The Vorthos Cast, and I wrote a zine about Gatherer comments (mtglore.com/players-just...).

I'm a free agent in it for the love of the game. Simple as that.

I think part of the reason this website can be a little messy is that, like early twitter, it tends to reward people for posting constantly and the type of person who posts constantly in 2025 is very different than the type of person who posted constantly in 2011

Very disappointed in the new Nebula Award eligibility information from SFWA that allows partially-generated works to be on the ballot. See 9.11.2.
www.sfwa.org/complete-neb...
This shouldn't be difficult. #noAI
11 In order to be eligible for any award, the work must include at least one (1) credited writer. Works that are wholly written using generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible. Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and the nature of the technology’s use will be made clear to voters on the final ballot.

Just got my acceptance email for the Greenlight Fund!

I'd say check your inbox, however they awarded me all $1 million for my pitch: reviewing the Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 original soundtrack.

Honored, grateful, humbled, etc. Best of luck next year!

today, I venture to ask: what do minotaur fingers look like?

as it turns out, the answer has to do with the visual conventions of mythology and high fantasy, the history of Magic, and how we manage the alienness of fantasy realism.

give it a read!

Playing in my first cube tournament on Saturday. Despite my low skill and nonspike attitude, I need to study since top 8 gets to draft Ohio
Ohio Type 1 Cube The Ohio Type 1 Cube evokes feelings of playing Vintage (aka Type 1) in 2003 at a small game store in Ohio.

Not trying to be a bummer, but my immersion was broken in today's story by Gaddock Teeg incessantly asking every other character "How much did that cost?"

A good chunk of the New Testament could have been skipped if, at the Last Supper, Jesus initiated the kill rubric in Judas' titan engine to charge soul bombs that could destroy Hell

The first episode of the #MTGLorwyn story, penned by @seananmcguire.bsky.social, is here! Four first-year Strixhaven students stumble through an Omenpath to a strange new world.

Text on the image reads: Chapter 1: Out of This Wood. Behind, a large figure that looks almost draconic until you get to the head, stands amidst a sky of purple and blue. The head of the figure is a whirl of clouds with an eclipsed light sitting in the middle.
