Hello bsky! 👋
I'm Higgins and I have been a CCG/TCG gamer for 31 years.
This account will be for my Magic: The Gathering thoughts, decks, & general musings.
In addition, there might be some Dead CCG content sprinkled in, as I am also a huge fan of the Decipher Star Wars CCG & Middle-Earth CCG.

What are some of your most valuable cards in your collection? Either monetary value or nostalgic value!

And with that narrative description I really want to play my Pioneer deck right now.
1/6 #scryfallrandom is absolutely busted in pioneer and other formats where you can throw giant sentient ships into hell and bring them back from the dead to kill again

New Year, Same Game.
Looking forward to Lorwyn Eclipsed in a few weeks. Yesterday's reveals were really exciting.

Absolutely wonderful trip into my nostalgia.
I was extremely happy to learn the home of Dwarven Ruins' original art.

Fallen Empires was an abject disaster that should’ve killed Magic dead. 31 years have passed. We're all still here.

I used to be able to book a hotel for next year's PAX Unplugged immediately after the dates are known.
This year, everything is already marked as sold out. Hope it's just because it's slightly more than a year out and not an indication I'll be scrambling for a place to stay all year.

It's still 9 months away, but I'm dying to have even the littlest of spoilers for the Hobbit set.
Come on, WotC... Just a taste, please!

Trying to figure out when are the best times for me to post on my tiktok.
So far I'm seeing the best success with around noon and around 5pm.
Guess there's a bunch of MagicTok scrolling on their lunch and dinner breaks. LOL

Friend shows me some cardboard rectangles; says the local sports card shop has them for sale.
Being the LotR nut I was, I'm immediately drawn to the fantasy images & world of Dominaria.
I buy my first pack, Revised Edition, and crack a Shivan Dragon.
"Smaug," I think to myself. I am hooked.

Making an Oona, Queen of the Fae Commander deck has always been a low-key goal of mine.
Well, today, I started brewing with the goal of having it finished and assembled in the first half of 2026.
Got any spicy tech for me to include?

Finally got one of my very first Commanders entered in to Moxfield.
Originally built during the pandemic, I've tweaked the build a little more to not be so reliant on Zirda being on the battlefield.

Two of my major pieces are now for sale with relatively low starting bids. We are auctioning these to help the family of the former owner of these paintings and are not taking a commission or profiting at all from this sale. If interested, visit the Art Market : www.facebook.com/groups/18843...

Started a series over on my Tik Tok I'm calling Booster Fun or Fumble.
I'm rating the frames and art treatments for Avatar and eventually older set and new releases.
Lemme know what you think!

Rescued these hits this weekend out of a collection that was starting to develop some mold issues.
I've given them a light wipe down with an antimicrobial and now we'll quarantine them for a few weeks and see if the mold returns.
Fingers crossed they stay clean!
