    Some of my friends from @wizards_magic and beyond sent me this great card from Minneapolis. Really a heartwarming moment knowing so many folks are on my side. Beard's getting a little shaggy, though. Do barbers make house calls?

    In non-Magic news, scan reveals between 17-47% shrinkage in various tumors. Blood work, kidney and liver function all A+, thyroid numbers are good. Chemo tomorrow and then only one more treatment after that. All in all, a positive and hopeful result today.

    Hey everyone. You haven't seen me in a few days and won't likely see me anytime soon, as I've had a very bad reaction to a radiation treatment. I'm currently mostly incapacitated. Thanks in advance for shipping those positive vibes.

    Some non-Magic facts about me: 1. Women have the right to unfettered access to whatever medical procedures they deem necessary for their own bodies and no one else gets a say. 2. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. 3. Black Lives Matter 4. Hate has no home here

    Very uncool, @hate_your_deck. Consent is something we value highly in the Commander community. Take down the video(s) in question with no ifs, ands, or buts.

    Just put these two cards into the same deck.

    Hey all. You might notice that I’m not on my way to Richmond right now and have been absent on social media. The truth is I almost died last week. I had developed an infection at the sight of my original tumor spot from 5.5 years ago, as it started regrowing 1/5

    Commander's target demographic are players who are willing to take their opponents' enjoyment of the game into account when building/starting/playing games. Please note that this is independent of power level.

    Yesterday's results not good. Current treatment not working, leaving us with one more thing to try before full-blown chemo. Feel physically fine, so no interruption to normal activities for now. More than happy to join you in a chorus of "fuck cancer," though.

    They've admitted me to the hospital with the diagnosis of pneumonia and partially collapsed lung. Looks like I'll be here until the lung refills. Mood is good. Just considering this a side step in the longer journey. Thanks for the well wishes. I'll be back in action soon!

    Yes, Grist can be your commander. For you rules wonks, please wait for rules update to explain exactly why.

    I was serious yesterday about having cards from a certain artist altered. If you're a Canadian artist who is also anti-Nazi, drop me a DM and we'll see if we can arrange something. I'm happy to spread the work (and love) around.

    This is my call for @wizards_magic to fix the prize structure for the M30 cosplay contest. I know that corporate stuff sometimes happens slowly at the corporate level, but there is still time. I trust you can get it done.

    Folks, we know emotions are high right now, and that's not time to make a considered decision. The Commander RC is listening to what you're saying, taking notes, and weighing options. We'll have something official to say in the near future, and certainly before the SL drop date.
