Hi everyone, I’m MTGLabMan. I’m new to the community, but not to the game. I’ve been playing MTG since the early 2000s and saw the platform as an opportunity to become a positive voice in the community. I’m always looking to foster a positive and safe gaming experience for everyone.
Newest podcast episode is live. I talk about the issues with the current secret lair system. I’ve been taught it’s best to not just bring a problem to the table, but a solution as well so I also talk about what could be done to improve the system.

Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate.
I’m thankful for a wonderful partner, family and such a welcoming and friendly community that is Magic the Gathering.
Wishing you all a great day with the friends and family you were born with or have found along the way.

Listen to Steph because Steph is wise!
More people in your life than you are probably aware of go about their days utterly convinced nobody likes them, and/or that they're a burden to the world around them.
Let's remind our friends, even if it's out of nowhere, that:
- they're important to us
- we value them
- they make our lives better

Hey @hobbesq.bolasgang.com I know you like little guys, sorry they aren’t goblins.
Newest crochet project. Just some little guys, no need to worry about them. Pretty sure they are flammable to their own fireballs.

To paraphrase one of the late greats.

Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day”
