You're giving Trump what he wants. To make change we need allies, activism, and courage. Bravery in the face of injustice is important. If everyone who is economically well off does this then the country never gets better. It's just a surrender and it's exactly what Trump and his people want.

@frankkarsten.bsky.social and fellow Magic.gg writers 🤞 we get another awesome article like we did covering Mox Breach. Would ♥️2 read abt how BK & Colorado locals tested & magnificent draft environment created for Tarkir Dragonstorm. It really shows the Dragon & Clan balance paid off w/6th archetype

Check out how many articles we used to get

I remember tuning in for at least 8-12 years for Magic Arcana. Was it a bit more irregular? Yes, but I learned so much more & we got to engage in a way that Blake R. & likely WOTC execs don't allow anymore (besides Gavin luckily)

Definitely not b/c of MaRo, it's b/c every interaction w/ players is limited to or moderated by those with Media training. Same reason they demolished archive of articles last year, stopped doing

You also barely get to see any game design articles. If you look at how many well written articles came out in early 2000s it just makes ya sad.

Live streams are nowhere near as informative & designers don't get opportunity 2 demo what they've learned & gamers engage deeply. Only MaRo is allowed to

Fantastic event we need more purely draft Spotlight events. Draft fosters critical thinking and innovation in a way that is completely unique from constructed.

WOTC, you can see how many looooong time players came back for this, many of the older players would be able to engage in game they love.

Such a cool display and that Panasonic GameCube and Keyboard controllers are EPIC.

Some display fish they have proudly caught, this dwarfs those photos. Giving the best Nintendo game system the reverence it deserves.

My vote would be The cruelty of Gix, The Brother's War, or Revival of the Ancestors. All 3 are very flavorful and provide fun meaningful choices of what details to translate and which to not.

And here's my thread on Tarkir Legends from Dragonstorm.

Tarkir: Dragonstorm Legends Thread

Anafenza gets her third card. While "The Foremost" was a Khans timeline card, the two spirit versions are current timeline self. In the modern timeline, she rediscovers the kin-tree that the Abzan rebels end up rallying around.
