Revised, Updated, & Upgraded!

Here's a thread of all the MTG related Starter Packs I can assemble. This time, I'm going to pin the first post to my profile to make it easy to find it.

At the end, I'm going to share a couple of observations that I hope will help Starter Pack creators.

Here we go!

Day 64!

Seriously, @magic.wizards.com, you don't really feel this way, do ya??

#GoblinKing

A graphic of types of headaches, making fun of me for pestering WotC about making Goblin King noble.

People see what they want.

Small minded people see...well, they see the world they way they hope it should be.

Humanity doesn't fit in a box, nice and 'neat.' It's diverse.

Our heroes should reflect that. It's taken us a few years to get to that point. But we shouldn't go back out of fear.

I suspect that people will feel emboldened. 'Oh, April O'Neill was a white chick in the original comic.'

Yadda Yadda Yadda.

Sure Buckaroo. But she's been coded differently over the years. She is as diverse at the fan base.

Get outta here with that bs.

We'll hear about petty racism over and over again as we get closer to the MTG:TMNT set.

Call it out when you see it.

But more importantly than calling it out here, call it out in your play spaces. Notify your judge or store manager if it happens in your LGS.

Don't tolerate hate.

"April O'Neil isn't-"

I couldn't give a crap. It literally doesn't matter.
The character has had multiple interpretations since 1992.
Stop playing Magic if you can't be a decent human being.

This is Brian Merichiko (left) and Dave Crowley (right).

Dave misplaced his Vintage deck filled with cards like Black Lotus at a local restaurant. Brian, an employee there, found the deck and somehow tracked Dave down at the EW and got him his deck back. What an amazing and touching story!

Day 63!

Hip hip hooray, it's Saturday!

Hey @magic.wizards.com, what do you think? Could we maybe make it happen?

#GoblinKing

Two people on a bus, one was looking at a rock wall and is sad, one looking outside at a sunrise/sunset. One is unhappy because the rock wall is 'any other outcome'. The happy one is seeing a sunrise where Goblin King is noble.

Hey, you dropped this.
Yeah, I’m looking at you.

Dr Judge, Tired @mtgdad.bsky.social · 2d

I'm an old and my heart is full. I am so unbelievably excited for this.

Old comic book art of a hurt Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Red eye mask, b/w drawing.

Hey y'all, please consider this.

A little bit ago there was some drama over the banning of a caustic player before EW.

So if you're there, do me a favor.

Thank a judge or staff member - especially staff members.

They help make EW a reality. I'm sure they would appreciate your kindness.

Dr Judge, Tired @mtgdad.bsky.social · 2d

Giving me original art style cards is incredible.

Dr Judge, Tired @mtgdad.bsky.social · 2d

SQUEEEEEEEEE!

Magic: The Gathering @magic.wizards.com · 2d

The #MTGxTMNT set has four borderless headliner cards that feature art by Kevin Eastman, the original illustrator of TMNT. Take a look at that shiny signature stamp! So rad.

This image shows off the card ""Leonardo, Sewer Samurai"". Three mana, white mana. Legendary Creature - Mutant Ninja Turtle. Rare Rarity.

Cart art: This full art treatment is done in the black and white comic book style of original TMNT comic creator Kevin Eastman. It depicts a humanoid turtle leaping over the rooftops of a city. The card boxes are lined in gold and the rules text box is signed in gold by Eastman with a doodle of a samurai helmet.

Rules text: Sneak Two mana, two white mana.
Double strike.
During your turn you may cast creature spells with power or toughness one or less from your graveyard. If you cast a spell this way, that creature enters with a finality counter on it. Power three/toughness three.

I am a red mage.

I am also Donatello.

My spirit is being torn asunder.

LevDev Shenanigans! @levdev.bsky.social · 2d

I mean...the card draw is nice, but, no evasion with the buff hurts this a teeny bit. Keyword is a teeny. Donatello if it makes a different artifact token with mutagen on the other hand....

I'm playing a round of disc golf.

And listening to TMNT soundtracks.

And scanning Bluesky.

Oh yeah. I am SO READY FOR THIS.

Dr Judge, Tired @mtgdad.bsky.social · 2d

It's ok, I have faith.

Dr Judge, Tired @mtgdad.bsky.social · 2d

Jeff @illustratorjeff.bsky.social did custom tokens for a year+.

Geoff @livingcardsmtg.bsky.social (no relation) has done so many photoshopped mashups I'm not even sure he knows how many.

Honestly, I'm inspired by what they and others have done. I'm just a hack playing in the kiddie pool.

But TY.

Dr Judge, Tired @mtgdad.bsky.social · 2d

That was hard to watch.

Day 62!

Good morning NYCC! I can't wait to hear what the UB set will be.

In the meantime, how about some errata for Goblin King?

@magic.wizards.com

#GoblinKing

This is fine doggo is being asked about Goblin King errata. He looks happy.

Dr Judge, Tired @mtgdad.bsky.social · 3d

Soooooo excited.

Dr Judge, Tired @mtgdad.bsky.social · 3d

Sorry for not getting this out sooner, today was a little rough. Productive, but still rough.

Dr Judge, Tired @mtgdad.bsky.social · 3d

Day 61!

One day, Goblin King and others deserving of errata will be recognized.

One day.
