This might be my favorite card in all of SOS. I love every part of it: the art is amazing, the flavor text is badass, and the design gives a high floor while forcing you to figure out what cards to play with it to maximize its abilities.
Experiencing spoiler season as a Magic Designer is really weird because I’ve seen all these cards before but I kinda forgot how cool they were so I still get hyped. Anyway I love SOS and I hope y’all will too!
Archangel avacyn and voice of victory?!?! Two great tastes that taste great together!
I built another model. It’s a marble maze and it was frickin hard. My fingers are so sore from pinching and pushing wood but it feels great to be done and it’s cool af. Progress pics below.
The official article on Secret Lair: Dandan went up this morning. It was a dream leading this with @corriganabe.bsky.social, but I cannot stress enough that this wouldn't be possible without @magicstorytime.bsky.social.
Magic's players are its legacy.

I wasn’t on the team so I can’t say for sure, but I know that the 2c decks were intended to be a bigger part of the Capenna limited environment. That said we felt that in retrospect Capenna wanted more manafixing.
The OG tarkir had all 10 gain lands so I don’t think we ever really considered not having all of them. In general 3-color sets need more manafixing and the common dual lands are a good way to supply it.
No, I decided it’s hard enough to get into these that I should try to win the tournaments that I get to play. At least for now. Her siren call is always in the back of my mind
My weekend combined record with Pit Crew Ezreal minus bye was 15-3.
3-0 Miracle Draven
3-0 Draven
2-0 Fiora
2-0 Ahri
1-1 Jax
1-1 Kaisa
1-0 Ezreal
1-0 Irelia
1-0 Sett
0-1 Miss Fortune
Was very comfortable with Draven plans but definitely needed more practice against fringe decks
Preparing for this event is some of the most fun I’ve had, the squad is great 💕❤️💕
I’d bet against Carmen knowing what KDA is
Hell yeah
Update on discord's KDA on the weekend:
8 people
2 Regional Qualifications
4 Day 2s
1 Best of (Ornn)
5 plated cards
Not bad :)
Emerging from social media exile to say I had such a damn good time this weekend. Lost back to back win and ins for regional qualification which was brutal, but had a blast prepping and playing with friends and came out of it with a plated card. Looking forward to Atlanta.
Ggs! I think that was the only ezreal match I played all weekend lol
Finished the Riftbound Vegas RQ at 10-3 and 55th place, which fulfills the “qualifier” part! Proud to say that I’ll be attending the first Riftbound Regional! It was a harrowing day since I started with a loss but won out. Leaving with a Q and a metal card makes a nice weekend :)
Day 2 the Vegas RQ at 6-2! Really love my deck construction, though there is a lot of seal hate out in force. Game is completely impossible to play at 100%, just going to aim for about 95% and play at a reasonable pace.
Let’s fucking goooooooo
Our testing discord went a combined 25-4-1 in the event :)
Went 6-0 at the pre-RQ tournament at Vegas. Sadly the Ahri metal cards were out but I got to at least got to pick up a heavy version of my legend. Riftbound is fun as hell
On this week's #mtgcube conversation on Recross the Paths, I get to sit down with @bsweitz123.bsky.social and chat about Mono-Red! Lots of great insight from Ben's role as a game designer at Wizards of the Coast.

If you want to hear me talk about Magic design, Cube design, and how I’ve applied it to my Monored Cube, check out this interview! I love yapping and you can get plenty of it here.
Based on that description I would guess like 7ish
I did read this thread already! I found most interesting in the difference between the changelings and the hybrid commons.
