I’ve written this down and tossed it away countless times because of family and there’s no real gain to be had from it. Lots of stigma and misunderstandings, viewed as stepping stone when it’s not. Been to therapy over it.
Tired of being embarrassed. I’m Ali and I’m Bisexual.
@pearlythingz
This speaks volumes about who you are as a person. How ashamed you must be of your own life that your project it onto people you don't know just to cope. Seek therapy.
I really hate that WotC took a fictional character, like Aragorn, and may have altered his skin color to black to appease to the masses. Just make a new character or something, ya know?
White people have NEVER done that. They’ve always made their own unique fictional characters
Got Swatted tonight while streaming. So, I guess I've made it as a streamer.
Still processing it all, just dunno who has the time, energy, and that much hate towards me to go through all that. Apparently, they were impersonating on the phone for 30+ minutes.
Hot take: competitive magic is bad for the new player experience on
@MTG_Arena
.
Taking your deck and playing against mono red, mono blue, mono white, nexus, or 20 walker.deck is a terrible experience.
Please add Brawl, commander, or something for the casual crowd.
Thanks
DECREE OF JAWSTICE!
Make a flying shark at instant speed to kill Teferi, get an extra “spell” with Fires of Invention out by cycling, and do some very silly things with Wilderness Reclamation. Super sweet card in an awesome set, thanks

Why does “iconic” matter when it comes to gameplay? Fast mana is fast mana. You ban it all or you don’t. The banning of just Jeweled Lotus and Mana Crypt just hurts players who invested in these cards. It’s idiotic.
I don’t think anything in Magic irritates me more than people playing flip it or rip it and then posting about it. I just don’t get it and think it’s idiotic.
MtG players, the people who argue over the most complicated game mechanics while simultaneously forgetting how human interaction works. Spend $500 on cardboard but not $5 on soap. Keep telling yourself it’s "strategic" while you still can't strategically exit your mom's basement.
Lizabeth Eden legitimately just loved Magic. She is a fantastic streamer. It seems like they looked for any reason they could find to let her go. I flex, shake a shake weight, stroke wiener (dog) on stream, and post shirtless pics on Twitter. Shit's stupid & not fair. Am I next?
Went to the grocery store. Kinda self conscious about rainbow hair in public.
Little boy with his Mom points at my hair and says, “he has rainbow hair, I want rainbow hair!”
No longer self conscious. Thanks little kid! I feel cool now. 😎
Kinda wild that I spend $200~ every time a new set comes out on Arena and play a shit ton, yet I still don’t have all the cards and constantly in need of mythic wild cards.
Arena isn’t F2P friendly. Wish it was easier to acquire cards, we’d probably get more diverse decks.
Feel like Omenpaths take away from new planes. It makes them feel less unique and more like a garbled mess.
It’s like eating a handful of random skittles every set instead of a handful of red skittles.
Feels homogenized. Maybe this is just a thunder junction thing 🤷♂️
Netdecking is cheating and you should get banned for it. You should also get banned for borrowing a deck. You should be banned if you make under $30,000 a year too honestly.
Y’all want Pioneer on Arena 😂 We still don’t have a stable game or a friend’s list.
I’m honestly not excited about Pioneer because I’m jealous it’s not on Arena and feels like Arena is being ignored. Historic is a joke and Brawl once a week is a joke.
Shit’s frustrating.
Played
#YuGiOhMasterDuel
at the tale end of two streams (4-5 hours total) and I already have enough gems equivalent to what $100~ USD would get you.
Then I login to
#MTGArena
and see the 500 coin “deal” or whatever. And it’s just… sad. Money shouldn’t bar the way this much.
Americans were high on nationalism, racism, and xenophobia. I was a brown kid from the middle east that everyone hated and harassed because of my background/skin color. This went on for fucking years.
Fuck your 9/12, because I sure as hell don’t miss it.
If my opponent can try to murder me by putting a GOD DAMN 5/5 flying bus onto the battlefield with two 4/4 flying vigilance death Angels on turn three, I should be able to make a stupid 2/2 zombie by playing my 7th land with a different name. 😡
I skipped three pro tours and fell off “the train” after my son was born. I couldn’t afford the time/money it took to play in a PT, especially overseas while being a single parent.
Poking fun at people who can’t afford a flight makes you an asshole and isn’t cool.
Shortly after I came back to tell chat what happened and that I was okay, I got hit with a hate raid of people calling me slurs and asking me what it felt like it get fucked in the ass.
Feels pretty great btw! Thanks for asking. They should definitely try it. ✌️
To the person who had a SWAT team sent to my house, as I’m sure you’ll read this.
What was it like impersonating someone who is better than you’ll ever be? I can’t say I blame you for wanting to be me.
Hope your life gets better man, also send your Mom my regards. ❤️
Kelsey flew in extremely last minute to get marriage paperwork done so we can start the US to UK move. After running around like crazy, finally married on paper! She flies back SUN
Taking 1 more night off stream. Will do a couple 10-12 hour streams next week to make up for it❤️
Literally my favorite time to stream Magic was during the Early Access events. It was so fun and a great thing for Magic Arena streamers.
Not only are they canceling Strixhaven early access but they are discontinuing it going forward.
What a massive fucking disappointment.
In the midst of all this chaos and before I left London, I couldn’t leave without asking her. She makes me very happy, love her so much. I asked Kelsey to marry me and she said, maybe.
Our relationship is open, so tell your Moms not to worry, I’ll still be coming over.
Magic players: “oh my God so tired of Eldraine, get we get new cards and rotation?!”
Wotc: *new cards and rotation*
Magic players: “what the fuck man? Too many new cards and way too fast.”
Didn’t think I’d be this overwhelmed with emotions. Shaking and crying in the gym parking lot trying to compose myself before working out.
Bleh... Thank you everyone for the support. ❤️

Nadu, a Modern Horizons 3 card was changed to be a better fit for Commander late in the process. The Shuko interaction was missed.
Really wish every set didn’t have to cater to commander.
The story of Nadu is worth reading. TLDR: was changed late in the process, the goal was to make it playable in Commander and the Shuko interaction was missed. I appreciate the in-depth write up.

Can we also change the rarity on cards like lands to uncommon so people can play the game and try out new decks? Let people play

@PlayRuneterra
last night and… Holy Shit… the graphics, the sounds, everything is gorgeous. They even have a rogue lite mode.
I wish Arena was half the client Runeterra is.
Mono Red mages are some of the nicest players I’ve ever encountered. They always say hello, offer dice and tokens, then they proceed to top deck that last three damage and burn your fucking face off and follow it up with a GG!
Don’t know if I should be upset or thank them 👉🏽🤬👉🏽
Was accused earlier for not being bi because I’m married to a woman. That I was doing it for attention/views.
While I never have to prove myself to a random, it felt nice to send them my OnlyFans link that says otherwise. They can subscribe to see 😂
If
@wizards_magic
is going to focus a lot more on Commander because it’s the most popular/played format (that’s fine) can we get more support for the format on
@MTG_Arena
?
I know, wishful thinking, but would love to play a four player game on Arena. Would be a lot fun!
When someone comes out as lgbtq, support them. Don’t say, “who cares, it’s 2023.” Because for some people, it’s hard.
I got this text from my mother for posting a picture with me and my dogs on my birthday.
I have shame and body dysmorphia because I was ridiculed growing up
People love commander so I’ve decided to evaluate every card in New Capenna for commander.
It’s all playable.
If you’d like me to do this with future sets, please let me know and I’ll do it again!
Thanks to Wizards I get to preview a card from WAR. World meet Sunblade Angel.
Seems solid in limited and a fun card to delve away with Soulflayer.

🚨 warning 🚨
If you buy these you can’t use this style unless you own the OTJ copies. I already have a playset of these duals from another set but can’t use this style because I don’t own the OTJ ones.
Really crappy and wish they’d clarify that.
#MTGArena
I hope that Zendikar Rising does something good to Standard. I’ve never not enjoyed Magic like this before.
Maybe I’m being nostalgic but I miss games not being decided on turn 4, haymakers starting at 5+ mana, and games not snowballing so fast over a single fucking card.
Canceled stream and rushed off to the pet ER. Maggie had a seizure then fell off the couch and looks like, broke her paw. At the ER now, will update when I can.
Kinda wild that 4 CMC is the new “I win” in standard. Fires of Invention, Wilderness Reclamation, escape Uro/Kroxa, and Winota. Back in my day we paid 6 mana for Titans! And we thought those were super busted.
Just an update: I was wrong to make plans to visit family over the holidays, and I recognize how irresponsible it is to travel anywhere at this time. My plans have been cancelled, and I hope that everyone has a good Thanksgiving.
All jokes aside. The way some people feel about others selling their body is stigma that comes from social and cultural attitudes. You’re okay with an athlete selling their body to make millions but not okay with someone else selling their body by posting a boob/dick pic.
🚨🚨 FACELESS HAVEN 🚨🚨
CARD IS METAL AS HELLl!
Getting Mutavault vibes from this one. Definitely a staple for new Standard as it is one of the absolute best creature lands we have seen in a while.
The art and flavor are so badass!!! Thanks

Less than 1% of Magic players would turn down a once in lifetime opportunity for $70k+ a year to play in the Masters league of Hearthstone, and stream it when they could.
So please stfu about Savjz already. He brings in way more eyeballs than the average pro mtg player.
Twitch chat: “ALI, WHY AREN’T YOU PLAYING X CARD THAT HAS NO SYNERGY WITH DECK BUT WOULD BE GOOD IN THIS EXACT SCENARIO AND TERRIBLE EVERYWHERE ELSE?”
Ali: *explains why*
TC: YOU LOST BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T PLAY THAT CARD ALI. U BAD BREWER
Ali: 😡you’re Mom is a bad brewer 😡
Wow, 100 cards to build a commander deck. That’s so many cards…
*starts building commander deck from cards I own*
Done! Let’s see how many more cards I need.
*counts the deck*
How the heck do I have a 132 card deck?! Time to make cuts.
*cuts 32 lands*
✨Perfection✨
If this is your opening hand in Boros burn, you should REALLY mulligan it. You are looking for a hand with at least 5 lands, no less. Mull down to four to try and find it.
And always go second so you have a better chance of drawing burn.
Follow me for more pro tips on Burn.
The single best thing about being true and honest with yourself and others is that no one can insult you by telling you what you just told them.
No person is your friend who demands your silence or encourages you to suppress yourself.
Much love,
happy

Didn’t drop a match with Chromatic Black in the 10k cube standard qualifier. We’ve been playing this deck on twitch for the last month or so. Deck is great, better than Rainbow Lich at the moment!

Need the break from magic arena for my mental health. So dissatisfied with arena.
Good guy and Magic pro, Reid, writes a *FREE* Commander/EDH article with his opinions on card choices and how to play the *fun* and *casual* format.
Some people get upset.
Must be nice to have no real problems in your life that this of all things is upsetting. 😂
*Breaking News*
Magic players discover how much better and efficient their deck is when they only have 1 and 2 cmc spells.
Lurrus is forcing people to play good decks without any spicy or pet cards.
