(Graham) Unironically love that Arena didn’t fix the glitch with the new Dominaria battlefield that makes bear pets just sit in the middle of the field, facing the wrong direction 😂
We've seen the article alleging workplace issues in the Card Kingdom warehouse.
We’ve spoken to our contacts at CK, and let them know that we consider the positive treatment of their employees important to our relationship, and that we will continue watching this situation.
“Wanna see me do a flip??”
Meet The Astrotorium’s most resilient daredevil, Devil K. Nevil!
We even made a video on how it actually works, available at
Peep the Witherbloom Witchcraft revel video over here, but for those looking for those crisp, brand new, high res card images look no further than this tweet (and then the next 3 :D) 1/4
Now that they’ve added a Raccoon subtype one set too late, this is a petition for

An example of the perfectly normal table-talk you can enjoy in the latest episode of ELDER DRAGON SOCIAL CLUB, as the players experience the Wheel of Precons 😄

Seven years later, it looks like popularizing “Magic Card or Metal Band” is finally paying off 😄
(Fun Fact: We wrote that into Friday Nights because the meme at the time was “card that describes a bowel movement” and, strangely, Wizards didn’t want that in the show 😏)
This week on the Friday Night Paper Fight, the long awaited return of Beejlander! Tune in at 5PM Pacific at for what is sure to be an absolute mess of Magic stream!
This game of ours changed the course of LRR in ways we won't ever be able to fully comprehend.
The experiences we've had, the places we've been, and the incredible people we've met these past 14 years are beyond anything we could wish for.
Happy 30th Magic: The Gathering.
For the first time since Theros: Beyond Death back in January of 2020, join the LoadingReadyRun crew this Sunday for a in person Pre-PreRelease for Innistrad: Midnight Hunt.
We’re still taking things easy, and there’s no out of town guests, but it’s a first step :)

For the record, we don’t have a Kaldheim preview card because there are SO MANY awesome MTG creators that we can’t all get one every time.
That’s the reason. We’ll get one next time.
We’re very cool with this.
Especially when...
KALDHEIM PRE-PRERELEASE CONFIRMED!!
🤘🤘🤘
Fun fact. This was the 7 year anniversary of the PPR. The first PPR, for Shadows Over Innistrad happened way back on March 26th, 2016. Today's PPR for March of the Machine was PPR number 38. Holy moly.
Thank you everyone who tuned in to today's

Great news!
There’s TWO episodes of ELDER DRAGON SOCIAL CLUB coming this month!
On Monday, the long-awaited Warhammer 40,000 decks (with Cameron, Ben, Kathleen, and Nelson), and then a few weeks later, a new Wheel of Precons episode, with guest

What to do if you open the 001/001 The One Ring ❗️
- don’t tell ANYONE, the forces of Sauron are searching
- listen to offers for help to cast it into the fire from where it came
- be patient, the Nazgul will move on if you hide and stay still
We announced this last night, but be sure to join the LoadingReadyRun crew on January 26th at 10:00AM Pacific for your first look at Murders at Karlov Manor sealed gameplay! No guests this go around, hopefully we'll have them back for Thunder Junction in the spring!

for the ongoing partnership and sponsorship etc blah blah, but mostly thanks for at some point giving us this translucent deckbox we’re now using to hold up a skull on the new tabletop set!
(I assure you there’s a CK logo on it, but it’s behind the skull)
Here's a completely useless fun fact. Our very first Twitch Stream on the LoadingReadyRun channel was January 15th, 2012 (Just over 9 years ago now) It featured Graham, James, and Jeremy drafting Innistrad. Our first ever pick on stream?
Gatstaf Shepherd.
Turns out its been a very busy couple weeks with excellent MtG related content (both our own, and our friends that we have guested on) so we thought we'd share it all here in case you missed any of it!
We're less than 1 week away from the March of the Machine PPR! The set looks fantastic, and we're so stoked to have

Just cause it has been such a frequently asked question. No, there is no PPR for Commander Legends. BUT there is some prerecorded content you’ll get to see close to release on June 10th. So stay tuned for that!
We’ve been super busy this week with all of our preparation for the

And I’ve bought many fancy basics 😅
It's that time of year again! The fine folks at Yellow Jacket Comics, and we here at LoadingReadyRun are excited to announce the 2023 Season Canadian Highlander Championship happening March 2nd at 10:00AM Pacific!

We don't tend to do the "We've got something really fun planned for an upcoming stream" tweets... buuuuuut, we've got something really fun planned for next weeks Friday Night Paper Fight :D We'll have more info on Monday! So stay tuned.
So this is fun, UPS only recently told us they were holding a package at their pickup point… which is a

Random teaser:
Tomorrow’s Crack-a-Pack has the most expensive (unopened) pack we’ve ever opened. Will it hold its value?
…hard to say, honestly.

Congrats to

@JoshLeeKwai
and their entire team on 400 episodes of The Command Zone! Commander, and really the greater MtG community wouldn't be where it is today without this podcast and the work this team has put into everything they do. Here's to 400 more!
Commander has grown to become the most popular way to play Magic: The Gathering.
If you want to learn how the format works, what the rules are, and why it's so awesome - this is the episode for you!
PPR is happening Wednesday at 11AM pacific! Perhaps if you like the tweet below the karma gods will reward you, and you’ll win one of the packs on Wednesday?
This Wednesday at 11AM join the LRR crew for the Modern Horizons 2 PPR!
And would you look at this! WotC kindly sent us a few extra Collectors Boosties!
Perhaps if this tweet gets… 2500 likes we’ll give some away during the PPR?
Say, one after every round?
