Hello bsky! 👋
I'm Higgins and I have been a CCG/TCG gamer for 31 years.
This account will be for my Magic: The Gathering thoughts, decks, & general musings.
In addition, there might be some Dead CCG content sprinkled in, as I am also a huge fan of the Decipher Star Wars CCG & Middle-Earth CCG.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

There is unfortunately a LOT of homophobia, transphobia, racism, misogyny, and ignorance still alive and well in the Magic the Gathering space as well as other fandoms. Our job as a community is to keep these individuals out of spaces we create. Call them out when you see them. Be the change. ✊🏾

Gotta say, seeing so many TMNT cards obviously seeded into Lorwyn Eclipsed prerelease kits leaves a pretty sour taste in my mouth.

What are some of your most valuable cards in your collection? Either monetary value or nostalgic value!

And with that narrative description I really want to play my Pioneer deck right now.
1/6 #scryfallrandom is absolutely busted in pioneer and other formats where you can throw giant sentient ships into hell and bring them back from the dead to kill again

New Year, Same Game.
Looking forward to Lorwyn Eclipsed in a few weeks. Yesterday's reveals were really exciting.

Absolutely wonderful trip into my nostalgia.
I was extremely happy to learn the home of Dwarven Ruins' original art.

Fallen Empires was an abject disaster that should’ve killed Magic dead. 31 years have passed. We're all still here.

I used to be able to book a hotel for next year's PAX Unplugged immediately after the dates are known.
This year, everything is already marked as sold out. Hope it's just because it's slightly more than a year out and not an indication I'll be scrambling for a place to stay all year.

It's still 9 months away, but I'm dying to have even the littlest of spoilers for the Hobbit set.
Come on, WotC... Just a taste, please!

Trying to figure out when are the best times for me to post on my tiktok.
So far I'm seeing the best success with around noon and around 5pm.
Guess there's a bunch of MagicTok scrolling on their lunch and dinner breaks. LOL

Friend shows me some cardboard rectangles; says the local sports card shop has them for sale.
Being the LotR nut I was, I'm immediately drawn to the fantasy images & world of Dominaria.
I buy my first pack, Revised Edition, and crack a Shivan Dragon.
"Smaug," I think to myself. I am hooked.

Making an Oona, Queen of the Fae Commander deck has always been a low-key goal of mine.
Well, today, I started brewing with the goal of having it finished and assembled in the first half of 2026.
Got any spicy tech for me to include?

Finally got one of my very first Commanders entered in to Moxfield.
Originally built during the pandemic, I've tweaked the build a little more to not be so reliant on Zirda being on the battlefield.

Two of my major pieces are now for sale with relatively low starting bids. We are auctioning these to help the family of the former owner of these paintings and are not taking a commission or profiting at all from this sale. If interested, visit the Art Market : www.facebook.com/groups/18843...
