Leonardo having a WUBRG ability (not being WUBRG) makes plenty sense - he's a W legend because he is the balance that keeps his brothers together, but he has a WUBRG ability because he's the TMNT's leader; when it comes to a fight, everyone falls in behind him and follows his lead.

"This is reality now."

Was expecting a "your reality... has fractured" line to kickstart the inevitable Reality Fracture ARG

Yes, I know. But given the set covers the entire breadth of the franchise and The Last Ronin is both on a card and is one of the most well-reviewed and famous runs of the comic in the last 5 years, I _think_ it's a safe bet that we'll be getting him.

Cowabunga, turtle fans! We're stoked we got to share some slices of #MTGxTMNT with you at #NYCC.

Until next time: magic.wizards.com/en/news/feat...

This image shows the full art illustraton of a humanoid turtle wearing a hooded cloak and leather paldrons. He grasps four different bandanas in his hand as three spectral forms of other humanoid turtles stand behind him supportively.
Across the bottom of the image reads: "The Last Ronin's Technique" art by Adam Volker

Turtles Forever!

There is not one ounce, not one tiny spiked and seething molecule of anti-Universes Beyond sentiment that could even remotely deflate how much I enjoy this as a direction for a card game I adore

I still love Magic, but good grief I also love *this*

Magic: The Gathering @magic.wizards.com · 9h

"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."

Well that's at least one commander precon next year I'll be getting 😅

Magic: The Gathering @magic.wizards.com · 9h

The #MTGxTMNT Commander deck celebrates the power of teamwork. The deck will have one face Commander and five cards with the mechanic Partner, allowing you to have a second Commander in play.

This image shows the packaging for a precon commander "Turtle Power!" product. On the box is an illustration of four humanoid turtle ninjas in ready battle stances. The background is an illustrated cityscape at night.

Partner With, it's called "Character Select"

While Miracle of Sound's discography contains some more famous songs (cough Valhalla Calling cough) I think his Celtic Folk Metal track The Tale of Cu Chulainn is a real sleeper hit amongst them all.

There's something about the Gaelic bridge that just RIPS

#Tokentober - hastily scribbled not an artist edition

Day 10 - 1/1 d/t haste Assassin

Eventually, when the king would not hear his people's cries or petitions, it was assured he would hear nothing again. On such small, cold acts are new hopes built.

Tokentober day 10 - Assassin

A king, slumped on his throne. His crown has fallen to the ground and a thin red trickle of blood runs down from his heart.

Day 10 - Constellation

Tried a ton of ideas to avoid just using the existing Constellation text, all of them were a bit naff.

Then @ellie.wubrgsky.org had an idea I liked, "what if Cosima's ability was a mechanic?"

Adjusted slightly and needs a further rework, but this is the early shell.

I gotta get the Doc Ock Sol Ring at some point. A lot of the Doc Ock cards are very comic book, but that one is pure Alfred Molina and I love it

Day 9 - 1/1 flying Bird

"Child, we weep when spring comes and fledgling birds leap out on their first flight overhead, for we know each one is a loved one's soul, brought back in the great cycle to find the freedom they were denied here."

And we came away with the win! It was a bit of biding my time to build my engines while other players duked it out, but it was soundly helped by a huge commander and a Bighorn Rancher + Skullspore Nexus combo that gained me 30 life in the final turn of the game that saw me to victory!

Yes! I'm super stoked to get a TMNT set - they're such a part of my childhood that I will absolutely look at collecting them at the least. I hope we get a Last Ronin commander!

The card "Teferi Who Slows the Sunset" hit me in a really deep way. I connect my going on HRT as my own "slowing the sunset" - it saved my life, turned back the clock on my mind and body, and, let's face it, is also just a S tier epithet.

explain your username:

all capoeiristas formally receive an insulting nickname based on their idiosyncrasies. my wrestling background led to several awkward in-game grappling situations, so mine is "lula" ("squid"). b/c that username's often taken online i further specified it to my favorite squid.
