You're finally awake, you hit your head pretty hard.

Boros Energy? Vivi Cauldron? What are you talking about?

Pioneer was just announced and everybody is excited to try it. Siege Rhino and Wild Slash spiked. I put together Jeskai Humans. Let's jam some games and see what's good.

For @hipstersofthecoast.com, I wrote about the Through the Omenpaths Flavoring Project—an ongoing fan-based grassroots effort to add flavor text to all the cards in OM1 that would otherwise have them!

I’m really happy with this article. Give it a read!!

Tomorrow is my birthday.

It happens to align with No Scroll Saturday, the weekly break I take from social media.

To celebrate another year of y’all being stuck with me, take the day off from social media. Do something that celebrates the time with those around you.

See y’all on Sunday.

As a marketer, this strikes me as something done for engagement online with an audience far removed from caring about the environment.

Been working on something special for a few months now. It's still several sessions away from completion, but it'll get there.

When things are stormy, head towards the things you love.

I won't sign off on a JundJund Secret Lair unless the bonus cards are matchbooks from dive bars in Renton, Washington.

In addition to the #MTGStrixhaven web fiction there will be a full novel set in the school of Strixhaven penned by Seanan McGuire!

Omens of Chaos is a YA novel set at Strixhaven about the first-ever class of interplanar students who have journeyed to the school via Omenpath.

This image depicts the cover of the "Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos" Young Adult novel.
The cover art shows a person casting a magic sphere around themselves. Behind them, roof tops of different buildings can be seen. Across the bottom of the cover reads: "Seanan McGuire. New York Times Best Selling Author".
