Corbin Hosler @chosler.bsky.social · Feb 24
This year, I spent my Birthday at work and I could not be happier about it.

2025 marks 10 years since I joined the Magic coverage team. Pro Tour Aetherdrift was my ~50th Pro Tour as part of that team.

Can’t think of a better birthday than getting to do this for a living 🙂

Picked this deck box up from @ultimateguard.bsky.social and I was so excited until I flipped it over. Looks like my art was extended with ai.

@magic.wizards.com needs to make sure their partners don’t do this.

I would have happily extended this for a couple hundred $$. Instead it looks awful!

I was going through old articles about my decks for a project and after an absurd amount of searching found this 10-year-old gem by @chosler.bsky.social
Posting it for both the nostalgia and so that I don't lose it:

Deck Tech: Slivers with Adam Bowman
Like everyone playing in Grand Prix Pittsburgh, Adam Bowman faced some rough games on Saturday. In one game against Jund, he was forced to mulligan to four cards.

Long line today at the Oklahoma City airport, but another flawlessly executed departure on the books.

It’s the little scare you get when you see a precheck line that makes you feel alive.

On my way to Magic Spotlight Indianapolis!

With any luck, they don’t have the backing Fox does, and will instead just go out of business entirely when the jury finds that they owe a billion dollars.

Just came out of A Minecraft Movie. It was basically The Eras Tour for gen alpha.

Most insane movie environment I’ve been in since Endgame. Cosplay, kids and teenagers, shouting lines, wild applause and cheering multiple times.

The children truly do yearn for the mines.

On a huge heater right now in Aetherdrift Limited right now. 21-4 in my last 3 drafts.

Big fan of this Draft format. Came up and just short of double Mythic last month!
