Here it is: 18K words on how to win with Sanctum Amulet at upcoming RCs.

It's the best deck to play in modern - even if you're just okay at it.

Put a ton of work into this one, so it's $15 or a $5 sub (comes with all my other articles).

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery

If I were to make Magic content to help POC get into competitive magic. What would you like to see? Also on that note. What do you feel or see as barriers that keep you from playing comp mtg. I'm all ears.

“Standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She asks ‘What’s the point of standards?’

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

It’s really cool to see how folks on the worlds team are on average just much much better about process. Playing lots of games starting very early. Expressing opinions with nuanced degrees of confidence, and changing opinions quickly with evidence. Writing lots of detailed testing notes.

10/10 explanation and underlying reasoning for the standard bans, shoutout @thequietfish.bsky.social!! Continue to think this game is in excellent and caring hands 🙌🏼

I think this is somewhat likely, but also a pretty bad mistake if it happens. Profts is too good. It’s *free*, *massive* board presence output for drawing cards at cheap cost. And can’t be traded with favorably. If they don’t ban it now they’ll need to ban it again soon
Cauldron went a long time without being broken, but with excitement for standard going from week one sell-outs to not firing in the space of one season, you can't risk leaving it in the format.

Proft's is very strong. It has the Beanstalk problem of replacing itself, so you can't trade favorably.

all my equipment is the bare necessities & was preowned. many components are cobbled together with various adapters and OBS trickery, I purchased my audio interface in high school 10+ years ago. My shoestring budget is actually a single thread, but my streams look better than 95% of the rest of em.

Magic coverage deserves better. Players dedicate their lives to this game, and I so badly want to give them a platform that matches that level of effort. It’s not that hard, you just have to care.

My draft deck was pretty nice but not without flaws, narrowly won a very tight match

We lost in top 4 :( this was my draft deck, I thought it was pretty sweet! But I faced an even sweeter 2x pinnacle emissary tons of artifacts deck (draft & match was on camera at twitch.tv/nyc_mtg! )

Mamdani embodies a pro-Palestinian politics that truly distinguishes between the state of Israel and the Jewish people, and truly takes antisemitism seriously as its own problem. That makes him a threat to those who want to absolutely conflate antisemitism and anti-Zionism, whether the ADL or WoL.
The pro-Palestine group Within Our Lifetime has already decided that Zohran Mamdani has sold out the pro-Palestine cause... by condemning swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn. forward.com/culture/7822...
Mamdani's first statement on antisemitism as mayor-elect got some weird pushback
After someone spraypainted a swastika on a yeshiva, Zohran Mamdani condemned antisemitism. Somehow, this generated conspiracy theories.
