It's a good day for Magic Story--no fewer than THREE current or previous authors for Magic: the Gathering have been nominated for Hugos. Congratulations @seananmcguire.bsky.social, @valerievaldes.bsky.social, and @marthawells.com !

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.

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.

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.
