Yeah, that's the one.

Trying to remember a rules gag we did a long time ago where we put a three-card combo as separate glossary entries, where each one pointed at the next card in the combo. Does any of this ring a bell? #WotCstaff

I am generally not a Seattle sports fan, (although I do like the Mariners), but the DUMP 61 HERE guy may be the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

I’m sure we’ll be treated to yet another round of unoriginal, intellectually dishonest jokes about being ready for game 1 of the playoffs…

All subtypes belong specifically to one or more card types, so if something loses all those card types, the subtypes go with it. We don’t really want nonartifacts with artifact types, for example. System kind of rests on this, so I wouldn’t expect it to change. #WotCstaff

I do own a luchador mask, but for reasons I don’t care to get into it would not be allowed on stream.

My favorite part of this is I’m the only person who doesn’t get a title. Like “No clue what he does around here. We just hope he doesn’t step on us or eat us or anything.”

I was honored to be asked to be involved with this and was quick to accept. I'll be playing in one game and will be hosting another. Maybe more details to come? Maybe it's all a surprise? I don't know. Tune in! #WotCstaff

I’m sitting in the exit row right behind the lavatories, so while I have plenty of legroom, my seat is still a little… poopy.

What is it they say, “my heart is full”? Sure, but my knees are ****ing killing me. Can’t wait to do it again.

While part of me regrets that I’ll never get to enjoy #MagicCon with the energy of my 25-year old self, that guy would be amazed at what we’ve all built. #WotCstaff

I love it both for its actual purpose and as an additional joke vector.
