Sidenote on behalf of @scryfall.com:

There will be a visual indicator and a footnote added about Banned as Commander. It will likely be "LEGAL*". It's not there, yet. It will be added. You do not have to submit a ticket about it. Your preferred deck builders will handle banning it as a companion.

I cannot believe how credulously - and prolifically - this stupid TPUSA halftime show has been covered.

Every media member should work in pro wrestling for two years

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

I don’t have many thoughts on commander anymore, but “ban Thassa’s Oracle” has always felt like foolish cause that would improve the experience of nobody at any bracket level.

Love seeing “case closed” on this one. Nice work, panel. 👍🏻

A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?"
And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards."
And you know what? He is.'
Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

🧵We are currently at the lowest levels of approval and sentiment since I started asking my "brief, three-question survey" on Twitter in January 2024.

I have consistently asked three questions, each of which attempt to gauge the feelings of Magic fans about the state of the game, and... 👇

Oof, this makes me very grateful that I run my multi-year CFB computer poll on Sheets.

That kind of thing might be entirely unrecoverable for something held together with as much duct tape and string as my stuff.

I wrote a short story for @magic.wizards.com and it's out today! It follows a young Eumidian deserter who uncovers a strange alien pod. At best, it'll save him from having to "donate" his biomatter. At worst, it's dinner.

...it's been on my to-do list to do this for my Gale/Scion deck for like 3 months.

There are so many cards this is true of, though... but if you play them all, then you're just playing cEDH.

Magic is doing a collab with the god tier radio station KEXP and i swear, if the set doesn't come with a soothing radio announcer telling you that coming up is a Swamp, and then fuckin' Khraungbin playing when you make your land drop, they whiffed the assignment

I've also pivoted Iron Man to a less Staxy brew that focuses on... you guessed it, the Rhystic meta. It makes me feel dirty, but I still want to try it out.

Which I did, this weekend! Early results are that 2/3 games I landed a t2 Tangle Wire. You can take the girl out of Mississippi, etc.

On the cEDH front, I continue to mess around with Gale/Scion Reanimator, even though I'm convinced it's terrible against the current Rhystic Meta.
