I’m working on finalizing a new fishy shared library variant I call Red Hot Seizoned Fish, but it is probably just easier to call it “Red Herring.” It feels very “red” the way Dandan feels very “blue.”

Yeah, sounds like my ‘97 build. Awesome. Simple and elegant.

Sweet! I had Boomerang in the earliest version of the deck.

I’ll mention, though it took time and it may or may not have been pressure from the community that made it happen, I DID hear from Wizards of the Coast yesterday. The person I spoke to was very nice and apologetic and I have no doubt they will see to it that I have access to getting a Secret Lair.

I'll have a full article about the Secret Lair Dandan deck from #MCAtlanta on MMORPG tomorrow, but I did want to share a quote from Senior Product Lead Mike Yoon about WotC not including format inventor @magicstorytime.bsky.social in the process. #MTG

Thanks for sharing that. If that ends up true, it will be appreciated. As much as I would have like to have been in the credits, I don’t want anything else but to have a chance to own one.

“Super fun Magic variants to share.”

I never expected or wanted anything when I gave Dandan to the Magic community in 2016 except maybe some feedback and recognition that players were enjoying what I had created.

Well he was working off my work. Nobody at Wizards would have put together Memory Lapse and Dandan, and shared the library without me. Informed players and I know it’s mine even if they won’t put my name on it. I don’t want any money for it. I’m just worried I won’t be able to buy one.

I want to say thank you to everyone who is supporting me and acknowledging my little contribution to this game that has been a part of my life for over 30 years. I am glad I was able to put a little, but long lasting stamp on the game. That’s what really matters to me.

Thanks for posting.

Nick Floyd @magicstorytime.bsky.social · 12d

Thanks, Sam. It’s because of YOU and a few others that many players know who is responsible for Dandan. Much appreciated.

I’d have signed away any rights I had to the idea for a credit and a free deck. I would be happy to have something I did officially published. I guess I’ll just have to settle for that last thing and hope I can get my hands on one.

Heck yeah.

Thanks, Cal. It’s not over yet, but if they were going to reach out and give me credit I would think they would have contacted me by the time it was announced. But I am not really surprised. A little disappointed. But not surprised. It’s cool to see it in print as an official product.

I’ve not seen the full Dandan Secret Lair. I don’t really care if I get credit or anything from it. Rhystic Studies and informed players know its origins. I just hope I’ll be able to own a copy of the official release and not have them sell out to scalpers and stuff like I’ve heard can be a problem.

Nick Floyd @magicstorytime.bsky.social · 12d

Yeah, at this point I expect they won’t even acknowledge me.

Hey MagicCon Atlanta folks — quick Q: did the Secret Lair “non-Commander constructed” product this weekend include the Forgetful Fish / Dandân deck? If you opened one, can you post a photo of the box + decklist or spoiler? (Credit: Nickolas Floyd). Thanks!

We're playing some forgetful fish on the channel tomorrow, and it'd be really cool if you watched it or something...
