"They're the world's most fearsome fighting team!" #MTGxTMNT

This image depicts the card "Heroes in a Half Shell". One white, one blue, one black, one red, one green. Legendary Creature - Mutant Ninja Turtle. Mythic Rarity.

Card Art: This illustration shows four humanoid turtle ninja warriors leaping towards the viewer. Each has his own specific weapon and style. From left to right: A bulky turtle weilding twin sai and yelling, a turtle with goggles on his forehead winding a bo staff to swing, a turtle with a confident smirk wields twin katana at the viewer and a seemingly carefree turtle leaps backwards with nun-chucks swirling in his hands and a wide smile on his face.

Rules text: Vigilance, menace, trample, haste.
Whenever one or more Mutants, Ninjas and/or Turtles you control deal combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on each of those creatures and draw a card.

Flavor text: "They're the world's mostfearsom fighting team!"

This image depicts the card "Turtles Forever". Three mana, one white. Instant. Rare rarity.

Card art: This illustration shows four humanoid turtles drawn in different art styles engaging and interacting with one another. Behind them, the painterly skyline of a city.

Rules text: Search your library and/or outside the game for exactly four legendary creature cards you own with different names, then reveal those cards. An opponent chooses two of them. Put the chosedn cards into your hand and shuffle the rest into your library.

Flavor text: "See you around the multiverse, bros."

Everyone's talking about how Universes Beyond is hurting Magic, but my personal opinion is that the Modern Horizons sets have fundamentally changed the game for the worse far more than all the UB sets combined.

Anything Link to the Past forward should still be rather kid friendly, although there's likely a couple points in every game you'll have to step in and tell them where to go next.

Gunstar Heroes and Streets of Rage 2 are your best bets for multiplayer

Murph @alsonamedjosh.bsky.social · Sep 8

Just to be clear, I really love Spider-Man as he's probably my favorite superhero.

But wow do I personally vibe with the Through the Omenpaths versions of the cards so much more. People just chilling with actual spiders in fantasy settings is just so dang cool.

Started Undertale tonight. Got betrayed by a flower. Flirted with some moss. Got adopted by a goat. I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Playing Mario Party sometimes feels exactly like playing commander where people act like the world is completely against them when the slightest inconvenience happens.
