oh snap I didn't even click the pictures in the tweets from people there, that IS oko, okay yeah that's excellent

MaRo panel highlights: early 2026 return to strixhaven with "all of its themes. The schools, Instants/Sorceries, etc." (I'm excited for more Lessons) modern horizons 3 with DFCs magic x final fantasy set (lotr-style, they called it "a tentpole" which is also what they called lotr) magic x...

I know someone made a gallery of the ones from Minneapolis in May the Backup / Huge Truck joke still makes me laugh: but beyond that I don't think they're recorded anywhere. Someone should tweet at him, says the guy with no Twitter account.

I had not seen that one! That's great.

I don't actually know if there's an official name for them? But the mtg wiki does call them test cards. Gavin designs a bunch for the Unknown event he runs at every Pro Tour ("MagicCon", but I know we're all old.) - most of the previous ones have been heavy on the commander but there's always a...

Gavin Verhey's sealed event at GenCon was today, so presumably the Internet will eventually have all the new Gavin-printed cards. Here's one a friend opened: ...it doesn't say random, then it says roll a die, who knows, you know how it is with playtest cards. But yeah, might be some fun stuff...

Even in Sealed, it was likely not correct. Spells were not fantastic but I mean, Bramble Elemental was your five drop (or if you were lucky, Ghor-Clan Savage), and even four mana could have gotten you, depending on your other colors, a range from Assault Zeppelid to Sporeback Troll to Gruul...

As someone who is bad at Magic, Pack Rat is great because I never have to think about what to do. In the immortal words of some random guy who played against Geordie Tait in 2006:

I am a sucker for bonus sheets in limited so I will never complain, even if I probably will lose to Necro and grumble about it.

this card interested me more when I thought it also triggered off your own stuff (obviously that'd be far stronger) and I don't think it really has a good home in most cube environments, but I suppose I could be wrong since mana curves tend to be more dense at single places than in retail...

...I hadn't considered replicating Changeling Outcast. That's fun.

finally the sliver deck can tear up legacy

Having just tested on my wife, who does not play Magic, I am now convinced that people will always answer "yes". n=2.

Do you let people say "no" to squirrels?!

Rocco, Street Chef has entered the chat I just want him to be good so badly!

I don't think it's that good! But I do think the combo of sometimes coming in untapped and only requiring two attackers outweighs the difference in power between three-mana card draw and a single two-mana free spell. Could easily be wrong. Maybe I just switch back. Definitely like a 1.5 on the...

This is really close to both my include list and my opinions about the set. Big fan of it both flavor-wise and design-wise and also I only really want three to four cards of it for my cube. Stern Scolding hits over 2/3 of my creatures so there's no way I'm leaving it out and maybe also Minas...

While Embracer did purchase them outright, the rights to [specific parts of] the Hobbit and LotR for reproduction purposes, including for movies and trading card games, are owned by Middle-earth Enterprises. (why isn't it MeE? Tolkein's capitalization was very deliberate!)

Huge post that's not about LOTR ahead. Sorry all! I'm sure you know it's not "the exact Magic Online Legacy Cube". The more I think about this, the more it feels like Potter Stewarting - "I know it when I see it", except everyone's "it" is different. I took a whack at being systematic. Wall of...
