Mox Amber is a quiet image painted with meticulous detail – perhaps too much detail for a tiny trading card. Who would commit to such monotony, knowing it would never be seen at scale?

Tears streaming down my face, denial, denial

a piece of non-magic writing out today:

LOCK IN

Of course!!!!

James was one of my first cheerleaders when I got deep into Magic writing, and work like this makes me say that all the more proudly. READ

I know the NYT is the NYT but it’s confounding the way they uncritically report on Pope Leo as a mild-mannered moderate when he published Dilexi Te, an extremely strong call for economic justice

unfortunately have discovered a new retro magic artist I’m obsessed with

Ripples of Undeath to both get creatures into the graveyard and save ones you want!

Mind Maggots for 1) the double-whammy beefy creature/feeds cards to the graveyard/can double it up if Moseo brings it back, and 2) the fucked up art

Thanks so much! You’re right, at some level Prismari has the same limit as Quandrix.

Thanks Neale!!

everyone loves Orzhov as the church/bank of Ravnica, nobody talks about the Simic as the Ravnican physicians. Where is Momir Vig, Out of Network Podiatrist

All my first four debut cards together! Looking forward to prerelease, who’s going?

amazing Dan Ws!

THANK YOU!!! Not only for your as-usual heart-elevating comments but also because I felt insane feeling filling out the quizzes and getting Silverquill and feeling nothing

Today for @hipstersofthecoast.com, I explore the challenge of representing actual schoolwork in Strixhaven and why Prismari does the (subjectively) objectively best worldbuilding among the STX colleges.

Give it a read!
