Met someone at the Prerelease who started playing Magic 8 days ago because they’re a huge Assassin’s Creed fan. They loved the idea after cracking boosters and ended up Prereleasing and having a great time. If you’re wondering why Universes Beyond exist.

Friendly reminder to use non-gendered language when referring to unknown opponents online. A few years ago, a woman reached out to me privately to ask if I could be more inclusive in my videos. So I did. It wasn’t hard, and it made someone else’s day better. You can do it, too.

#MTGIkoria previews are incredibly sweet. But the power creep continues unabated & it worries me. Unchecked power creep is one of the ways games die. It’s particularly tragic in Magic, where such a large part of the game is getting to enjoy 27 years of cards, not just the last 2.

I am firmly against locking Standard-legal cards behind anything other than a normal $4 booster pack. As proven several times, Wizards will inevitably print tournament staples in this space, intentionally or not. This makes Standard more complicated, more expensive and less fun.
