Which new card this year best lends itself to building incredibly fun -- but janky -- decks? Which card makes you 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 something?

Here are some candidates -- what are your picks?

10th at the RC. Couldn't draw at 12-2 and got smushed by amulet. It's a great time to never play modern again!

every round is going to +30, the amulet players are doing their part

I was bored so I wrote a thing. It's very stream of consciousness and maybe not that good content idk.

Also I'm having some technical difficulties updating my website so I instead copied it to a gdoc for now. Much jank, have fun.

How to Play Chant Control vs Every Matchup

I don't really buy the zero sum comp/casual nonsense; the words written in the text boxes these days are completely fine.

Magic isn't worse because of Commander, it's worse because there are twice as many cards and they all cost twice as much and half of them are a shitty reference to a TV show.
Jake's post from Twitter is really good. You should read it.

Here it is: 18K words on how to win with Sanctum Amulet at upcoming RCs.

It's the best deck to play in modern - even if you're just okay at it.

Put a ton of work into this one, so it's $15 or a $5 sub (comes with all my other articles).

Does anyone know of any places to print custom playmats that AREN'T Inked? Trying to get some more of the Did You Have Fun mats but Inked turned to absolute shit since the last time I used them.

Nah man a big part of why the UB stuff makes me sad is cause I know it's extremely popular so they're going to keep doing it despite it making the parts of the game I deeply care about worse. Like I know a bunch of people are going to buy the 6th marvel set but that doesn't make my FNM fire.
Hearing the conversations around the con, I think heavily enfranchised online folks significantly overestimate how much their opinions on Universes Beyond are shared by the wider player base.

This is not a value judgment of any opinion in particular: just being reminded of that myself, too.
