Most important card in Magic: The Gathering history.
Benalish Hero Creature — Human Soldier Banding (Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding you control are blocking or being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature’s combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it’s being blocked by or is blocking.) Benalia has a complex caste system that changes with the lunar year. No matter what the season, the only caste that cannot be attained by either heredity or money is that of the hero. 1/1 Illustrated by Douglas Schuler

Spamming my non-Magic friends with cards like this and being like "this one reminds me of you".
A card from the game Magic: The Gathering called "Spur Grappler". The graphic depicting a small hunchbacked creature with massive pointy nose, two long horns, and green leathery skin moving through the smoke clouds of a wasteland.

This is the vibe I bring to Magic's Modern format at the local game store.

Cards are in custom sleeves with a crude drawing of a pigeon's butt as the animal looks down through its own legs at the viewer. An on-going game of Magic The Gathering.

Figured out a pigeon-themed Magic: The Gathering deck that might actually be viable for tournaments and my dumb ass decided to make custom token cards for it with pictures I took from my neighborhood pigeons to print somewhere. lmao

Unfortunately I didn't pull the card I really wanted myself but I was able to trade with another guy and went home with the City Pigeon.

Yesterday was International Vulture Awareness Day and I'm still thinking about them birds.

I think my top three in no particular order are Turkey Vultures, Black Vultures, and Egyptian Vultures.
All 10/10 creature design.

This perfectly cut off final page of a chapter sums up Joyce's Ulysses very well in more than one way.

I just bought a stupid ticket to participate in a stupid in-store Magic: The Gathering tournament a couple of weeks from now for that stupid upcoming Spider-Man card set.

I'm just doing it to get my grubby little hands on this legend. 🙏😩

I just remembered that I did play MTG Arena for a bit many years ago. I just re-installed it and logged into my account for the first time since 2021.

Apparently I built a blue/black deck and named it "Piss in the Shower".
I do not remember this.

Hold on, am I recognizing the dog one correctly as the album art for Soft Touch Of Man? I've been obsessed with that release lately.

I fell in love at the train station today.
Pretty pigeon on a light fixture at a train station. Feathers are very splattered with white and grey. Possibly a mix of city pigeon and white wedding pigeon.
