Maro's articles and GDC talks remain some of the best free resources on game design out there.
Congratulations Mark Rosewater! Today is Mark's 30th anniversary stewarding & shaping Magic. Truly a remarkable legacy.
From leading set designs to tirelessly answering fan questions to your weekly articles to signing cards at any event you attend, thank you!

This is appalling and if Xbox doesn’t do something about it then they’re on the line for this marketing too

Never attended an eternal weekend before, but banning this guy makes me think maybe I should.
@cardtitan.bsky.social did real good with this ban

A group of losers put together an open letter to @cardtitan.bsky.social criticizing their decision to ban Joe Brennan from Eternal Weekend this year.
If you, like me, support their decision, TELL THEM. Message them, email them, show them that you support their decision to make EW safer.

Well written take on UB. And "Yuck your yuck" is going straight into my vocab now
So we have a bunch of UB sets coming to town. I for one don't mind a bit. As long as sets are fun to play - I care very little if the set is based in the invented world of Edge of Eternities, or invented world of Star Trek. If there are Ninja Turtles or their budget version in Kamigawa. 1/

I feel like the biggest parallel for what’s happening with Magic is LEGO. In the 90’s LEGO was entirely original themes but in 1999 the company announced a partnership with Lucasfilm and it paid off big. LEGO is dominated by licenses today and is doing better than ever. 🧵

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him.
A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.
I Am An AI Hater
I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

I got an exclusive hands-on with Magic: The Gathering’s Avatar: The Last Airbender Beginner Box!
This is by far the biggest reveal I’ve ever done in terms of card quantity (over 100 new ones!) but the article itself is more of a preview for curious Avatar fans.

Looks like minipainting has to do without Vallejo paints. First they ignore worker's right and safety in their factory, begrudgingly let them have a few fixes and now they blatantly use Generated Images as their selling point. If you can't support artists I can't support you.

Quick anecdote to say that when I was working at an LGS, the YuGiOh community was massive and constantly gracious to me and the rest of the employees and clientele. We'd cap at 40-ish players for weeklies for seemingly no reason but everyone just seemed happy to have a judgment-free place to play.
always thinking about making a post about how a large portion of mtg players are just outright spiteful towards ygo for no reason and you can see that in these bait posts but also in how they talk about the game in collab vids with yugitubers who just dont challenge them on it
