Magic’s mpreg art gremlin has crawled out of her hole once again. Much like Groundhog’s Day, if she decides to post mpreg art on a given year we get 6 more weeks of no bans

🏆 Jamie cooked with this one. Helps a lot to play against 4 fair(ish) decks and a dredge opponent who mulls to 4 twice, but it still feels good to be exploding some kittens again. Love the innovation. Give it a whirl if you want to try a different flavor of DnT.

I have learned a valuable lesson in the past 2 days and that is: I’m never flying with pets again for the rest of my life
We are finally in Seattle! But guess who yelled the whole flight, crawled out of her sweater, broke out of her carrier TWICE, peed herself, somehow managed to bite through her upper lip and got her tooth stuck so we had to find an emergency vet clinic on our very first day 🤡

There’s still hope for DnT playable monster hunter cards 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 recruiter of the guard one time
We care a lot about the worlds we get to celebrate, and Secret Lair x Monster Hunter didn’t quite come together the way it should have. We hear you, so we’re heading back to the drawing board to rework this Superdrop. More to come.

🏆 Got the back-to-backs from last week with another trophy tonight! Exact same list as before. Love the Ambroise take on the list and I'm looking forward to revamping it more after a few weeks off while I move.

🏆 Another Cloud trophy on tonight's stream with a few edits.
+ Abandoned Air Temple, Seam Rip, March, and Winter Moon
- Plains, Shadowspear, Kirin, and Canonist
List continues to greatly overperform. Winter Moon was the most glaring omission I saw from the initial list, happy to have it back.
