Unironically Modern playable card, even in a niche, and it makes me so happy

Legit one of my favorite Mill cards of all time - what's your favorite card to pair with it that isn't necessarily a Mill card?

Is the return of Shapeshifters in standard through Lorwyn Eclipsed going to make Mox Jasper playable?

This is such a an important piece from Mark Rosewater's Blogatog talking about how he didn't like commander, and how he overcame that same feeling of his "Darkest Night" that many magic players are going through now!

Hi Mark, this will likely be a long one, so I hope you'll bear with me. First of all I want to thank you for all you've done over the years to make the game that is so precious to me as good as it's.....

Dehumanising language always leads to gatekeeping, othering and emboldens people to attack others.

I just don't understand the sense in essentially saying "I think this is a problem and want you to listen to me, so I'm going to make you feel like crap", like that will lead to any meaningful change.

Store credited these 3 to complete my playset (have one from Legacy Painter)

With Sagas as well - I'm so close to Affinity/8-Cast in Modern/Legacy!

The game was better before "mechanics" and you know I'm right. Phasing and Flanking were a slippery slope that landed you right in a furby's mouth.

PSA to all my mill players - do NOT Mainboard this card in any comp event beyond a FNM or MTGO league (SB it)

It's really doodoo into everything both by numbers of what it's milling for the rate you're paying and chance of it even resolving (b/c opponents speed & counters)

Belcher winning #PTEOE is actually one of the best things that could happen to Modern

1-3 Drop in today's Modern challenge with Mill!

Unhappy with mulligan decisions in Match 2 but overall happy with how I played - just bad beats!

I do think Tashas is really bad in this format tho!

This card is so fucking wild it's hilarious - like no where near bannable based on current possibility space but good lord is it near uninterruptible and an insane finisher LOL

I've evolved my brainrot btw - google dinosaur game at the bottom + minecraft parkour on the right

This will be the Pioneer & Legacy gameplay on the channel until WOTC takes those formats seriously LOL

Honestly not mad at Modern's meta right now - the amount of viable, winning archetypes is pretty high

Saw the meme and wasn't familiar with your game - I (chronically online Shaf) can confirm you know ball
