Creature — Human Wizard

Morph {U} (You may cast this card face down as a 2/2 creature for {3}. Turn it face up any time for its morph cost.)

After nearly five years of one of the greatest honors of my life, I will be stepping down as president of Birds of Paradise. Until a new direction for the group is decided, we will be going on an indeterminate hiatus.

BOP! has done amazing volunteer work to increase representation in Magic.

The Spider-Man set was... a set 😬 but it gave us a sweet PDH commander in Green Goblin, Revenant!

The plan: use Blood Tokens & Madness for value, then attack with the Goblin to draw a massive new hand. Full breakdown in the video! 👇

i love me a spider man noir -- not only is this deck sick, but if you are of the pauper commander persuasion, check out the one we brewed up on stream last week. a great excuse to play a lot of sweet cards.

blinging out pdh decks is a hoot. so many sick promos and stuff, not to mention that a lot of the cards in that deck just look great in foil

the uninvited (1944)! a great film for the season

This is the fucking problem with dehumanizing people. I get people are angry, and expressing anger can be healthy.

When it's done in a way that targets people there are going to be consequences and that is a problem

This is why I was concerned about that original post.

I worry that the worst kinds of people will latch onto the 'pigs and slop' language to harass both Wizards & players.

I've seen it before. I worry that this is how a fandom splinters. Usually the next step is bad actors monopolising on it.
