Before they were fully painted illustrations for Magic the Gathering, they were sketches on paper (with a dash of imagination). Here is a collection of preliminary sketches to some of the cards I've painted over the years.✨✍️✨

A look at the deck and how it might look to address issues it encounters
Last year, Lightning Dodrio with Big Basics took down the Prop 15/3 (Base-Gym) TCGOne mega battle. Earlier this year, the same deck got 2nd and 3rd in the Vintage booster battle.
I wanted to take a closer look before this weekend's DCE Deluxe #retropokemontcg retro pokemon tcg (links following)
That is how i first 2- player drafted! It was invasion commons only😅 liked it a lot

I am mostly building to grid draft but am meaning to try housman for some hidden info (or to push synergy).
Grid draft is really nice when not familiar with cardpool: can take a pic of oppo pool before building! I could see OP burn draft be fun when pool is more focused on limited-like gameplay.
cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

Did low effort content pave the way for AI? While it's easy to blame big tech, the recent onslaught of slop caters to an audience that has proven time and time again that they prefer quantity to quality. I talked about what it looks like to reclaim your taste and, by extension, your self respect.
The decks are gorgeous with original prints, but tons of reprints and preprints are available!
This shameless plug brought to you through enjoying gameplay with Dark Confidant; Tarmogoyf; Venser, Shaper Savant; Greater Gargadon; Momentary Blink and many other "past-their-prime" goodies.
With card design lowering prices of 00s staples and Shock Lands getting more reprints, it is a fairly affordable chance to play a Standard format that is enjoyable far past its ...time. RAV-TSP-10E has a what still appears to be diverse, deep metagame. retrotcgs.com/2025/09/13/r... #mtgweird
#retropokemontcg events on TCGOne for Japanese Boosters this coming weekend.. Play Prop 15/3 for a Team Rocket Booster!

Trying to find an old standard mtg deck with Shared Discovery and Beastmaster Ascension to no avail.
I think a lot of that era of #mtg content has rotted away😭 the mtgo event deck database getting thrown away was a big sadness.
@moxfield.com Love the site! Any chance that a tagging feature can be added for historical formats?
Example: I created Invasion Block Constructed decks but have no clean way to communicate the decks are from that format. Even if I add to title and search "Invasion Block", a lot more decks show.
Waybackmachine appears not viable through "what's happening" page. I want to find ALA-ROE with m11 Standard lists🥲
Any hints on where to find old, like 2010, Magic Online deck lists? #magicthegathering #mtgo
Had no clue #mtgworlds was happening until i turned on twitch to aid napping
steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Glad not all "i learned commander" stories are tragic! #oldpersonyellsatcommander
Enjoy those commons 🥰 #mtgweird
Oops wrong link before 😅 retrotcgs.com/2025/11/09/a...
Hehe. Thanks!
@wheeler.bsky.social do you need a reason to acquire more pokemon cards?!
Wrote a quick intro to WotC GLC (Gym Leader Challenge for Base-Skyridge Pokemon TCG). Format didn't exist in 2003, but it could've! It's a great way to enjoy playing with many Mon that are not viable in more widely played retro formats.

Grats!
FYI: Canlander is the 100-card-baller format out here.
So @tolariancommunitycollege.com took me to @totlgames.bsky.social and I convinced him to buy an expensive Gengar 🤣🤣
2-player draft is super fun. Can take a lot wilder implementation than the more traditional take on cube, like this one based around Meddling Mage (& similar cards): cubecobra.com/cube/list/in...
The #1 is: old constructed formats; not simply Legacy, but maybe Legacy 2012? Maybe... 2007 Standard 👀
Anyone headed to Laughing Dragon mxp tacoma on Saturday?
thinking to bring Invasion Block Constructed and 2007 Standard decks for peak casual gaming 🤠
pack examples didnt load correctly 😅
