Intro: I'm Cary. I run a Magic story search engine (@mtglore.bsky.social), I'm on The Vorthos Cast, and I wrote a zine about Gatherer comments (mtglore.com/players-just...).

It's a chilly day in October. Remembering Kessig by Adam Paquette for Planechase 2012 #Vorthos

Scammers really aren’t sending their best, was this text designed to seduce a 15 year old in 2002?
