A write up I did for a family of "werewolves" that live in the Walking Fields, part of the setting for Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine. Revisited it yesterday and I'm still pretty pleased with it. It's inspired by the fairy tale of Tsarevich Ivan, the Firebird and the Gray Wolf. 1/3

Used it yesterday to check out tournament coverage of @magic.wizards.com from the 00's earlier this week, looking for when a specific deck innovation was made. Interviews, deck lists, individual match reports—youd be surprised how much was written in that era.

Ever have one of those moments where music that's playing accidentally perfectly complements what's going on?
Pulling up to drop off my parents at the airport this morning:

The names of the original 14 Magic: the Gathering cards according to Austin and Jack on the most recent Side Story. Back in the day you could only play with these, and Ludevico's doesn't really count because it'd make your friends stop talking to you.

Like suggesting you need to floodlight a stadium, when all you need is a torch to find your seat. And I'd argue that most net zero experts are not waiting for new technology to solve the problem - its a willpower and financial issue. We have the solutions, and AI wasn't, and isn't, part of it.

I'm playing Adventure Mode on Forge on my phone a lot lately, and my deck has some real sweet lines. Only starting with 8 life is making things challenging in a fun way.

really don't care if you disagree with me, i think constantly filming everything everywhere is bad, i think the widespread deployment of facial recognition is bad, i think the fact there are cameras everywhere inside of arenas & that increasingly you have to use your face to buy a hot dog is bad
