ok but what if that long promised magic: the gathering show was set at strixhaven…
asking the community is a great idea for sure. it's harder for newer communities and also for charity events where there isn't a lot of margin to go around. we're lucky in the nyc premodern scene that we can support human artists: www.mtgnyc.com/loot
also if you want to play lmk @boshnroll.bsky.social it would be great to have you!
in response another tournament organizer tried their non-artistic hand at making a non-ai poster and the results and feedback were amazing
you all can make memorable promo materials too
ps go to the premodern peach ball charity tournament on aug 22 in georgia
made this poster in 15 minutes in response to claims that it's not feasible to make promo materials unless you are an artist/graphic designer. is it good? probably not. but will people notice it and remember it more than generic slop? probably yes.
that's how all true new yorkers pronounce it
psa you don't need ai to make magic tournament promo materials
ps registration for nyc's biggest premodern tournament opens tomorrow
nostalgic dreams?
just to be clear I am being sincere about my love for the card! did you see the original artwork was sold in 2024?
100%. I think it was one of the main drivers for me to build the deck when I first got into legacy… I was like wow vial plus avenger is brilliant and exciting gameplay!
‪serra avengers deserve their own post‬
saying goodbye today to my revised duals and promo & taxes cards… thanks for the good times!
call me a brazen borrower on an adventure because I still think about this reddit comment and laugh
horsemanship is gonna wreck vintage after mh4
my mtg hot take is every single mechanic other than banding is a bust and will either not be around or not be relevant in 5-10 years from now, that includes first strike, kicker (already happened) etc
I don't mind the card treatments but the Secret Lair marketing strategy needs some reworking. I get that these things sell out anyway so it's not a high priority but still!
2 weeks out! We're raiding our war chest and piling on the spoils for the players! #mtgpremodern #premodernmagic
weirdly big day for pacifism lovers out there with randy gallegos also posting on his substack about it www.artofthe.day/p/mtg-pacifi...
why did humans stop building wonders like these?

what's wild is that I will run for president someday and my opponent will bring up my old tweets on a national debate like "how can you elect someone whose favorite set is mercadian masques and advocated for changing the magic card back to be flat design"
Force of Habit has to be a custommagic or Un set card at this point right
you are probably correct like 90% of the time though 🫣
