- Modern is in a sweet spot right now. You get to pick your 8 favourite cards from the last 20 years of Magic and combine them with 67 Modern Horizons (1-2-3) cards (purchased for 799$) and battle against all kinds of cool strategies
- If you only read or share one thing of mine, let it be this. insaynemtg.com/you-arent-alon… #WorldMentalHealthDay2019
- Why even buy packs, and hope to get the power you want? I’ll sharpie a Black Lotus for 1000$. For another 1000 I’ll spit on your face to make it feel even more like the Wotc experience. DMs open
- The year is 2022. You’ve managed to win the first 3 rounds of the tournament before getting a card from your deck banned. A new record. You normally carry 12 decks with you to each tournament. Round 4 your sideboard gets banned just as you finish game 1. You love the uncertainty!
- Believe women. Don’t welcome people back with open arms who have made no attempts at redemption and are trying to use the community they exploited to monetize their new endeavours. Our community should be a safe place for all. It isn’t right now, but it could be if we all try.
- Here's the MonoU list and sb plans I got to Mythic 1 with. Will probably post a more detailed guide for subscribers in the next couple days. @ArenaDecklists
- I once went to a store that a friend of mine convinced me to play at for an FNM. Round 4 at 3-0 my Boros aggro opponent has 6 creatures or so when I slam down my promo textless wrath “What does that card do?” He asks “Destroys all your creatures” “No, really, what does it do?”
I once called a judge for the oracle text of my own card. I couldn’t remember the order of Cryptic Command and it was relevant during the game. My opponent and the judge found it hilarious. It is one of the most memorable moments for me even though it was long ago. - Call me a boomer, but I miss when Magic cards looked like Magic cards.
- One of the financially stupidest things I did in Magic was to NOT cheat. If I cheated about 3 important matches a year I’d be a million dollars richer. If I been early enough maybe I’d have made a big Magic store or started a Hearthstone Esports team. Or be going to Worlds!
- Replying to @MarcTobiaschI understand you feel bad right now, but the best time to delete this was 5 hours ago, the second best time is now.
- I’ve had many years where I came up short. I often think of all the mulligans and manascrew, or the small choices I could have made to win 1 more game This time I’m choosing to feel proud of myself for a season where I top8ed a PT and won a GP while fighting a battle for my life
- My mom: “How much money does the champion get?” Me: “Not much, but they get their picture on a card” Mom: “Oh then I definitely hope @OndrejStrasky wins, he’s the best looking” #MTGWorlds
