To be clear I am not responsible for this card, I just wanted the poor kids of these stories to get some
Comforting Counsel {1}{G} Enchantment Whenever you gain life, put a growth counter on this enchantment. As long as there are five or more growth counters on this enchantment, creatures you control get +3/+3. In the grief that followed the Invasion, Willowdusk’s office turned into an unofficial hideaway for overwhelmed students. Illustrated by Chris Rahn
What I love about this card is that I just opened up some Strixhaven notes and in big bold letters I just wrote "THERAPY" at the top, lmao.
They're "adding scenes critical to doomsday's plot"
Right?
I don't want to give the article a click if it's clickbait, but that IGN article headline about the Endgame re-release is something else.
MCU is pretty much finished if they're really adding in scenes to previous films. Jesus, just put the scene in the front of Doomsday as prologue.

I was lead on this project, working on everything from casting to cleanup and many, many hours of painting. Each terrarium has rubber glass for realistic water suspension.
At this point premium deckboxes no longer interest me. A million dollars to the next company that wants to sell me a deckbox for less than $10

Ennis
Ennis is a wheelchair user introduced in Secrets of Strixhaven, but we don’t know anything else yet about it.
So many great Cosplayers in the community love when they get a showcase.
I always appreciate the skill and craftsmanship of what goes into these outfits. Art of Cosplay should be cool!
Today, @vorthosjay.bsky.social is here to tell us all about the all-over-the-place history of Magic story publishing. From HarperPrism to the NYT bestseller list (yesterday!!!), it's been quite the ride.

TFW you write a history of Magic publishing and then a new Magic novel makes some history
I’m busy for one afternoon and this happens?!?
Touching grass is not enough, I need edgy fans to start smoking it
It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize which one you are talking about
An image of a woman wearing glasses with short cropped hair staring at the viewer is overlayed on an illustrated backrgound of the rooftops of Strixhaven. Beneath the woman's picture is text that reads "Meet the Author Seanan McGuire at Bookcon booth #429 | April 18 & 19".
