    Top 4’d Vintage Champs and Top 32’d Legacy Champs!! What a wild weekend of wonderful opponents and great topdecks ☺️ Used the winnings to justify picking up a very exciting Magic card

    MTG tournament tips - don't use sexy bikini anime girl card sleeves in a public setting - when a woman is displeased that her opponent was using aforementioned sleeves and tweets about it, don't go looking through her tweet history for photos to be like "well what about THIS??"

    Generally I'm on "allow people to buy what they want," but not this time. $1000 proxies are a scam. WotC is trying to scam us. If people buy these, WotC will attempt future scams. Do not spend $1000 on proxies. Do not let your friends spend $1000 on proxies.

    If you want to avoid running into this type of player, the best way to go about that is by winning Round 1
    #MTG Hot take: Proxies should not be encouraged. I worked hard for my expensive cardboard and then some people show up with only the "expensive" cards proxied. There's still appropriate times for proxies, but it's insulting for people to shortcut what I've earned. 1/2

    I love that this also applies to MTG Legacy

    Amazing. Imagine WotC had announced that they’re selling a paper replica of the MTGO Vintage Cube (with all of these cards, and proxy beta basics for good measure) for $1000. Now THAT would be a way to celebrate 30 years of Magic.

    We trained an AI by having it read 1000 hours of Magic Twitter and this is what it came up with:

    I’ve been engaging with a few people trying to argue the nuances of the specific sleeves in question, I notes’d a long reply about that below. However, I need to point out that digging through her Twitter photos for pictures is just straight up indefensible and disgusting.

    This card is going to shift the way that legacy decks are constructed. Completely wipes: Delver threats Chalices/Chrome Moxen Mox Diamonds/Explorations/Constructs And it cycles when not needed?!

    This post has given me nightmares for the past several days. It’s too believable.
