Everyone's talking about how Universes Beyond is hurting Magic, but my personal opinion is that the Modern Horizons sets have fundamentally changed the game for the worse far more than all the UB sets combined.

Anything Link to the Past forward should still be rather kid friendly, although there's likely a couple points in every game you'll have to step in and tell them where to go next.

Gunstar Heroes and Streets of Rage 2 are your best bets for multiplayer

Just to be clear, I really love Spider-Man as he's probably my favorite superhero.

But wow do I personally vibe with the Through the Omenpaths versions of the cards so much more. People just chilling with actual spiders in fantasy settings is just so dang cool.

Started Undertale tonight. Got betrayed by a flower. Flirted with some moss. Got adopted by a goat. I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Playing Mario Party sometimes feels exactly like playing commander where people act like the world is completely against them when the slightest inconvenience happens.

My first attempt at participating in our office Canadian Highlander tournament was a rousing success!

Unfortunately that means I am now head over heels in love with this format uhoh

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to @alsonamedjosh.bsky.social for winning the Spring season of Canadian Highlander at @commandcast.bsky.social!!

Esper Reanimator took the cup over Gruul-drazi, with Mono-Red Punisher in third place(me) and a sweet Slimes Against Humanity deck rounding out the top 4!
