Thor was a great movie. 10/10. Can't believe they made Jane's Thor catchphrase "It's Thorbin' time". Actually unhinged writing.

Broke: Cutting a card from your deck because it's not good. Woke: Cutting a card from your deck because the triggers are annoying to keep track of.

Hot take: Priority order needs to be enforced in Commander games. When someone casts a boardwipe you must ALWAYS ask everyone in front of you "What are you going to do about this?" with increasing levels of anxiety before revealing the counter spell.

Asked a player not to use an offensive term in-game. They ask why. I explain its roots and why it's offensive. They say that's not how they meant it. I said there is really no other way to interpret it - it IS just offensive. They say "don't care" and continue to use it. I...why.

I really do enjoy having nuanced conversations like this about the color pie and magic. In case you didn't know, I am the green color councilor, which means I do my best to keep green feeling green and not like other colors. Let's keep the conversation going. AMA? #wotcstaff

@QuixQuazQuan @MTGRUG @ChrisKMooney Then the changes are working 😋 the whole point of the color pie is to make each color feel and play differently from each other. Pulling back on green's card draw is part of that.
