My thoughts about the changes to the brackets and commander changes being considered.
1) If Urza and Kinnan aren't considered game changers, I'm not sure it makes sense for Seedborn Muse to be listed as a game changer. They do similar things - lots of mana - in different ways.

I am going to be at MagicCon Atlanta all weekend and hope to meet and play some commander games with other Bluesky folk.

I've lived in D.C. for the better part of two decades. Nearly my whole adult life. Something folks aren't talking about--a giant elephant in the room--is the amount of "brand protection" going on right now.

I don't mean fear of Trump or political persecution, although those can overlap.

This crap that so many in the media and political realms - including way, way too many Democrats - are doing right now, to try to convince us that Charlie Kirk was one of the good guys and is an innocent victim, is nothing but gaslighting on a national scale.

Anyone who votes against the Epstein bill and against the brave women who testified at the capital today is scum undeserving of continued existence.

Just finished making changes to 10 of my decks to reflect expansion of the game changers list. In most cases I replaced tutors with less efficient tutors or some sort of interaction (about 50/50). I swapped in Clever Concealment for Teferi’s Protection in two decks.

I am really loving Tarkir Dragonstorm. All of the commander precons are excellent, and I am finding myself slotting a lot of the new cards into my existing decks. Not counting Aetherdrift Verges, I have already slotted in mor Tarkir cards than I have from Aetherdrift.

I have received 11 emails in the past week asking for donations to various Democratic campaigns and causes. I have responded to each one with the same message: I don't plan to donate a cent to any campaign or to the party until Chuck Schumer steps down/is removed as Senate minority leader.

Start acting as an actual opposition party. Sen. Schumer needs replaced as the Senate minority leader immediately. I will be making no donations to any Senate Democratic race or to the DNC until/unless he is replaced. I hope many others will make this same pledge.

The more I play in the new brackets system, the more I think mana base optimization should be listed as one of the benchmarks differentiating the brackets. A more optimized mana base - ABUR duals/shocks/fetches provides speed/consistency beyond what one associates with precons.

As Republicans pull back from doing in-person town halls to avoid criticism, Democrats should be stepping in and doing town halls all over, including in Republican districts, to inform people what the GOP is doing....

I was too busy playing at MCChicago to attend the reveal events or pay much attention to what was revealed, but now that I'm home, I've been giving the stuff a look. I remain extremely excited for Dragonstorm. Tarkir is one of my favorite MTG planes, and the art is so stunning.

I had a great time at MCChicago, played a lot of great games using the beta bracket system. Overall I think this system is in a good starting place, but I have some thoughts, including suggestions for consideration.

I had a wonderful time at MCChicago this weekend. Played lots of great games, playtested the brackets. More space for play, things were less cramped in the art and vendor areas. Well organized, tons of fun. Kudos to the organizers. Looking forward to Atlanta.

I am not a video gamer and have never even watched someone play Final Fantasy, but a) it's cool to see the amount of joy some people are getting from these spoilers, and b) though I don't know or care about the IP, I can appreciate the cool new cards.

Some thoughts about the commander brackets and mana bases. Since bracket 2 is supposed to reflect decks as optimized as typical modern precons, optimized mana bases - ones with shocks, ABUR duals and fetches - might be noted as a benchmark for bracket 3+.
