If I had a voice in the decision, I too would vote 👎 NO 👎on changing how hybrid mana works in Commander. Joey's reasoning & opinions align with mine. I strongly feel Commander's color identity rule, a gigantic pillar of the format, is elegant, easy to grok, and a wonderful feature of Commander.
i hate the hybrid mana debate

Some useful information to make sure your feed isn't getting unnecessarily filtered in a way you don't want. I've switched a lot of these to "Warn" in case some of you folks post something that I'd like to see that might otherwise get hidden
Next select Settings, and then Moderation on the next screen. At the bottom of the Moderation page under "Advanced" is a section called "Bluesky Moderation Service" that looks like an info box. It in fact leads to more settings.

My two favorite characters from ATLA are Toph and Iroh, so these are the two new decks I'm definitely building (have already started pulling cards for 'em). How about you? #MTGxATLA

After a long illness my cousin Tom passed away this morning. The summer I was 12, Tom visited for a week & he brought his Advanced Dungeons & Dragons books with him, making me a lifelong D&D and fantasy fan! Which ofc led me to Magic and making friends with many of you. Bless you Tom, I'll miss ya 😢

This feels like a sneaky Lorwyn Eclipsed plant. Leads me to think 2 possibilities:
1. Changeling ability is to be changed to include all non-Human creature types.
2. More likely, there will be a new spin on changeling where the creature is all the major Lorwyn types to tie together typal synergies.

It seems unfair that the snooze button is large and enticing and SO EASY to hit, while the “ok I’m getting up” button is tiny and hard to see 😂

Very very cool!
my favourite thing about #MTGxATLA is that so many older cards are going to see some ridiculous value - namely from Zendikar and Tarkir.
Zada instantly comes to mind, not just as another Ally, but also working ridiculously well with using firebending for combat tricks

I've written close to 3 MILLION words about Magic: The Gathering over the course of 26 years, so I proudly wear #UnofficialMagicAmbassador in my profile even though WotC never considers making it official. I bring Magic content for love of the game, love of my friends, and love of the fans! 🤩😍
