The new Sonic Racing CrossWorlds game lets you race with Hatsune Miku, SpongeBob Squarepants, and characters from Avatar the Last Airbender. Is this just not MTG’s Universe Beyond? Currently, TMNT will also be featured in the game. Can we use this to predict TMNT in MTG? 🤔

Holy shit, I was very close to calling it.

This is the kind of card that would make me want to play Green. Pair it with Gaea’s Cradle, Shifting Woodland, Strip Mine. You name it.

Everytime I watch a short from @veggiewagon.bsky.social and read the comments section, it makes me think when people said “White cards suck” way back when.

Seems like it had more to do with people not knowing how White cards worked versus them actually sucking.

Wake me up when MTGxFF spoils this guy:
February 23, 2025 at 5:52 PM
Now that early previews started for MTGxFF, here are some things I think we’ll see in the FF Standard set or Commander decks:

1. Party mechanic (or some variation) similar to FFXIV’s party system.
2. Class cards like Paladin Class but in Job form.
3. Battle On The Big Bridge as an actual Battle.

Hey @moxfield.com, I talked with @veggiewagon.bsky.social and found some more cards that I think should be Bracket 4. I consolidated a list here for you all to look at. This will be thread to go over my thoughts on these cards.

"Bracket One" - Commander (Garth One-Eye)

Tried building a Bracket 1 Mono-White Vehicles and Mounts deck using the new @moxfield.com constraints and I loved how this turned out. Looking forward to busting this out with my casual playgroup soon!

Hey @moxfield.com, while building a Bracket 1 deck using your system, I realize it’s not catching Soulscour.

Soulscour should be a Mass Land Denial card. I think you can catch it if your algorithm looks for “Destroy/Exile/Return all Permanents” texts that don’t also contain the word “nonland”.

Also, though I don’t know when anyone would do this, you can’t use LED to pay for Ghostly Prison, even though it is a mana ability.

You can activate LED anytime you could cast an instant. You can’t cast instants as you are declaring attacks because no one has priority while you declare attacks.

Not sure if this was intended design, but you can name Sol Ring with Skyseer’s Chariot. It will make Sol Ring cost 2 more to activate. Chariot does not exclude mana abilities unlike Suppression Field. @gavinverhey.bsky.social can you or someone you know confirm this (don’t know who else is on here)?
February 9, 2025 at 5:19 AM
FYI, you can’t use Radiant Lotus to pay for Ghostly Prison.

First thing during Declare Attackers Step, you pay for Ghostly Prison as you declare attacks.

This happens before anyone gets priority. You can only activate Mana Abilities at that time.

Lotus is not a mana ability because it targets.

IMO, The Dragon Prince is a Netflix must-watch show. While people cite shows like Arcane, which covers the basis on class warfare and class inequality, or The Last Airbender, which covers subjects like Genocide, Honor, and Censorship, I think the Dragon Prince gets slept on.

Excerpt from “The Dragon Prince” (spoiler free) that is worth reading in today’s times:

“I had a speech planned for today. It was about peace and love and hope.

But I think I left something out. I ignored something that was true. I denied something that is undeniable: We are angry.”

It never occurred to me that in all the years I was known as the “Mono-White Guy” as an Asian-American man, I never capitalized on this gif:

Hi, I’m Charles. Some of you all might know me as the Mono-White Guy, or the guy who plays all the Mono-White decks at events/shows, or the guy who wrote 42 tweets on why he didn’t run Sol Ring in his cEDH deck. I’m moving out of X and making this my home. Expect more posts soon.
