I do miss how back in the day you had one commander release and it was like the most important day of the year as a commander player, spamming spoilers and everyday to see what the new decks and cards were and then talking about it with your friends
I realize that a common response would be “I wouldn’t”
But
It’s 2016 you run wizards. You realize and know that commander will be the main way people play magic moving forward and there no internal pushback against this.
How would you change your design process/product releases/game philosophy.

For the first time in like 6-8 weeks I have nothing in my "urgent & important" quadrant, my flat is tidy, and I am ahead on work.
This feeling has become so alien to me, that the time I've carved out this afternoon for me has so far amounted to a fat lot of nothing. 1/2

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.
This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.
And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.
