My tired brain was very confused why the EDHREC website would post transphobic draft guides

Jess O'Thomson @jessothomson.co.uk · 3d

Mary-Ann Stephenson is here doubling down on the EHRC's transphobic draft guidance. I am more than happy to judge her on that basis alone.

Judge me on what I do, says new EHRC chair after transgender groups’ criticism

People who organize your cards, how do you organize them?

Color/card type/rarity?
Set/rarity?
Card function/value?

I know I’ve asked this before but I just assembled some storage boxes and I’m ready to tackle my collection >:D

My daughter made me an octopus who's upset about being anatomically incorrect 😭

A vivid purple octopus held in the palm of my hand. It's made of felt with white hand stitching and it has only three arms. A cute sad face is drawn onto it with marker.

Same purple felt handmade octopus with three legs, flipped over. On the back in marker is written "HELP! I'm all wrong!"

Diplomoceras (the clippy) and Pseudocenoceras

fantastical drawing of Diplomoceras, a large extinct ammonite with a shell shaped like a paperclip somehow. It is colored in orange and brown tones. surrounding it are eight Pseudocenoceras, extinct nautiloids with round spiral shells, colored tan and orange.

The DM running the Strixhaven campaign we’re playing at school dropped the bombshell that the Phyrexian Invasion happened in-universe and now we all need to figure out how to incorporate that into our characters’ backstories.

Anyone have any favorite Phyrexia/Strixhaven lore video recommendations?
