Announced yesterday, Wizards has begun an official partnership with TCGPl@yer.

Just because it's not in the news anymore doesn't mean it didn't happen.

There are tons of options for buying cards and sealed product at competitive prices.

I'll link my favorite below, and I encourage you to as well.

This morning my 3-year-old got me out of a slump by telling me to tell my coleagues that I am Spider-Man. That made me feel like a real super hero.

(I don't know why my coleagues needed to know, but I obliged. Now the office knows why I take bathroom breaks, whenever there is a siren going off)

MTG Wiki covers all aspects of #MagicTheGathering, which mostly break down into five topics.

#1: Products. Every core set, expansion, Secret Lair drop, and miscellaneous Magic release gets coverage, and editors work hard to keep up with new products.

Die Zeit porträtiert eine „Whites Only“ Siedlung in Arkansas samt schicker Fotostrecke, und schreibt dazu in den Insta-Slides über den Gründer, einen Antisemiten und White Supremacist Überschriften wie „Orwoll, ein Rassist?“ (Sein Projekt wird auch von einem australischen Neo-Nazi unterstützt).
Zeit Screenshot: „Orwoll, der Rassist? Er, der diese Siedlung nur für Weiße aufbaut, sagt, er würde sich nicht damit befassen, wenn Menschen ihn als Rassisten beschreiben würden. Eher erzählt er von Nachrichten, die er bekommt, in denen Leute schreiben, dass er wenigstens ehrlich sei.“ Mein Kommentar: „Ist der Mann, der einen weißen Ethnostaat will, ein Rassist, fragt man sich nachdenklich bei der Zeit.“ Screenshot X Orwoll: @Aarvoll_ „David Duke nearly became governor of Louisiana in 1991, garnering more than a half million votes. There were White Pride rallies in the 80s that filled stadiums. We are further now from victory than we were 40 years ago, not closer. We aren't pressing hard or fast enough.“ Zeit insta slide: „Orwoll, der Rassist? Er, der diese Siedlung nur für Weiße aufbaut, sagt, er würde sich nicht damit befassen, wenn Menschen ihn als Rassisten beschreiben würden. Eher erzählt er von Nachrichten, die er bekommt, in denen Leute schreiben, dass er wenigstens ehrlich sei.“ Orwoll X Screenshots: @Aarvoll_・28.06.25 „Organized Jewry is coming after me for having a White neighborhood“ @Aarvoll_・28.06.25 You'd think this was a schizo post, but that's actually what's happening Q21.“ Screenshot RTTL website: „Does RTTL want to bring back the Jim Crow Act, segregation, discrimination, or the holocaust? RTTL is not a political organization and has no intent to shape public policy. We hope that our politicians will enact the best policies "=) ensure a positive future for our nation.“ „Is RTTL a Nazi organization? The Nazi Party existed in Germany from 1919 to 1945. The year is currently 2025 and we are in America. Draw your own conclusions.“ Screenshot X: @Aarvoll „The term "Aryan" as an ethnonym wasn't unique to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European peoples. It comes from the PIE root *áryas, which meant "noble", and was probably used as an autonym, in some form, by Pontic Steppe derived aristocracies all over Eurasia. It's a controvertial subject and modern etymologists will deny it, but the Proto-Germanic "Abala", the Irish "Éire" and the Greek "Aristos", all meaning "noble", are probably all related to the PIE "*áryas". It was a word that referred to a single ethnic ruling caste that dominated many societies, it basically meant the same as the modern European concept of aristocracy (most European aristocratic lines descend from Germanic equestrian conquerers). Aarvoll @@Aarvoll_•31.05.25 Famous "American" classical music composers like Gershwin, Copland and Bernstein (all Jewish), don't capture the uniquely American classical style that developed in the 19th century“ Zeit insta-slide: „ZEIT-Autorin Rieke Havertz ist nach Arkansas gereist und hat das Gespräch mit Gründer Eric Orwoll und weiteren künftigen Dorfbewohnern gesucht. Die Reportage findet ihr unter dem Link in unserer Bio.“ Mein Kommentar: Bei der „Zeit" spricht man mit einem Rassisten und Antisemiten, dessen Projekt von einem australischen Neo-Nazi unterstützt wird. Screenshots Orwoll auf X: @Aarvoll • 27.06.25 „Jews on Reddit found out about Return to the Land, and now they're all riled up against us. God forbid a single explicitly White community should exist... This is a losing battle for them if they decide to press it. They get a state and nukes but we can't have a neighborhood?“ @Aarvoll_ „Tom Sewell will be sharing his own experience with intentional community in Australia. Many thanks to him for making the time to speak at our conference despite the trials his group has been through recently.“ Photo: Sewell doing a Hitler salute

The Amazing World Of Tomorrow
A comic strip titled The Amazing World of Tomorrow. A food delivery robot cooler drives down a sidewalk. It crashes into a rental scooter. It backs up. It crashes into the rental scooter again. The scooter wobbles. The scooter falls to the ground as the food delivery robot backs up again. A driverless taxi crashes into both the scooter and the food delivery robot sending them flying.

I'm excited to play. Hi, excited to play. Nice to meet you. Don't forget to put out your playmat. Is it on fire? I'm playing a Reaper King scarecrow deck. That's outstanding in the field. I'm playing Sygg merfolk. Sounds fishy. I'm playing my Kiora octopus deck. Do you know how to make Kiora laugh? With ten tickles! I was stuck in a dad pod! cardboard-crack.com

Bracket 1: Chromatic Lantern works really well in my candles/lights artwork deck.
B2: Lantern is AMAZING at smoothing my colors.
B3: Lantern’s not the best, but it helps and I have nostalgia.
B4: 3 mana rocks aren’t worth the slot.
B5: This deck usually wins before turn 3.
