I get what Shivam is trying to say; however, I'm gonna have Urza tap two Glizzies and cast Counterspell

Urza, Lord High Artificer
{2}{U}{U}
Legendary Creature — Human Artificer
When Urza enters, create a 0/0 colorless Construct artifact creature token with “This token gets +1/+1 for each artifact you control.”
Tap an untapped artifact you control: Add {U}.
{5}: Shuffle your library, then exile the top card. Until end of turn, you may play that card without paying its mana cost.

Counterspell
{U}{U}

Counter target spell.

The Magic community: The TMNT pizza lands must be AI, because who puts raspberries on pizza?
I: So like, last week I paid someone to make me a pizza with strawberries AND blueberries on it. Am I AI?

...I may be AI. My pizza says so.

A reason why I could never hate Universes Beyond is because if we ever get a UB set for a Nintendo Game like Pokemon or Zelda I don't think I'd ever be able to financially recover. I might even have to sell some organs

okay I think this new rendering style has some promise.
It's a bit bright, but the palette is a def more interesting

ALSO LOOK AT THIS LIL BABY

I suspect the Spider-Man Comic-Con previews happening during EOE prerelease week may have been a big factor

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process:
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

#Drawtober 2025
Days 1-4

Inktober artworks for the first four days of Drawtober! I'm a little bit behind this year, but I want to see it through again.

I'm not operating from any particular prompt list, so I am open to suggestions!

An ink drawing of a winged figure half-submerged in a dark ichor.

An ink drawing of a centipede with a human eye climbing up an arm.

An ink drawing of a knight character pulling a cocoon from their face, under the light of a crescent moon. They stare intently at the camera with wide and unsettling eyes.

What he claims: All Encompassing Eye

When released, the eye reveals to its wielder the nature of life

What it is: Small Abhorrent Oculus

When released, the iris opens revealing rows upon rows of mandibles and fangs. It attempts to eat the first thing it sees, can be tamed with meat

I find it hard to believe that people use power creep as a reason for not liking Universes Beyond. Yes, The One Ring and Vivi exist. So do Nadu and Cori-Steel Cutter. It's not a UB-unique thing.

My one wish for the TMNT crossover is I really hope Wotc prints Food Chain flavoured as a Pizza Chain Restuarant

Food Chain
{2}{G}
Enchantment
Exile a creature you control: Add X mana of any one color, where X is 1 plus the exiled creature’s mana value. Spend this mana only to cast creature spells.
Every predator is something else’s prey.

I have a mixed relationship with TMNT(grew up with it and fell in and out of love with it multiple times), but I do like what I'm seeing so far from the set!

Sneak is a very much needed fix on ninjutsu, Mutagen Tokens are solid, Mutants are a fun creature type, and Magic art is fantastic as always!

Raphael, the Muscle
Digital :(((
AD: Stephanie Cheung

My first digital piece for MtG, ever. I'm crushed I wasn't able to put my full artistic weight behind this piece, but TNMT meant way too much to me as a kid to sit this one out. I begged my way into this set and they gave me Raph!
