It's hard to celebrate Khans of Tarkir on Arena when my partner has just been laid off from WotC.
We'll be ok, we'll regroup and make a plan, but... it's hard to see how much passion someone pours into a game just to be cut loose. I can't look at KTK with joy right now.

It was a prerelease tournament, and you were needlessly unkind at 11pm? You're a real gem.
To be clear, declining the split isn't inherently a dick move. Telling your opponent they made bad life choices is.
Tired of feeling I need to be good at a game to justify being in its community as a woman. Clips where women school people in Valorant after experiencing gender based harassment are tasty, but I just wanna play a game and suck at it and not have it be evidence against my gender.

was one of the best weekends of my life. The whole Command Zone/Game Knights team are amazing, and deserve so many accolades for bringing the show to life 💖
I rewatched the episode of Game Knights I was on, and still can't believe? I was so lucky? It was such a magical weekend, pun intended, and I just adore the show and what it does to promote Magic and I got to be a part of that?!? 🥰🥰🥰 aaa such happy memories!!!
At FNM, I played a man who told me I got him into Magic after teaching him at a learn to play event earlier this year, and he went on to teach his girlfriend, and she taught her brother! He was so into it, it made me really happy.
Mechanically unique cards purchasable only directly through Wizards, for 24 hours? 🤢 That are legal in Commander and other eternal formats? 🤢
I have enjoyed Secret Lairs for atypical and weird art but I am extremely strongly against this and I hope people do not support this.
Due to the US side of Peace Arch Park being open, I finally got to see my boyfriend!!! For the first time in 9 months!!! 😭❤️ Just for a few hours, but worth the trek to the border 💕
I'm so excited to finally reveal that I was assistant producer on the Sprung Studios team working on Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War!
This is the first game with my name in the credits, and it feels like a dream come true. I'm super proud of the team!!! Please enjoy the game!!!
It's really weird that Modern Horizons 2 has been out on MTGO for two weeks, lots of people online are opening product, and singles are being bought and sold online by players but I still can't pick up the set booster box I ordered until tomorrow when the set actually "releases"
Everyone is debating Commander rules right now so here's my hot take:
the format should drop to 80 cards because I struggle to hold and shuffle 100 cards, and my hands aren't even that small. I will rescind this opinion if someone can teach me to shuffle big decks better 😅
Thought I'd do a little cos-test of Trynn, Champion of Freedom last night with the facepaint I found!
I might not be platinum blonde or have a fringe but I made do 😉
I never met Christine Sprankle, but I loved and was inspired by her work. When she left, I was devastated, and angry, but eventually just heartbroken. But her leaving was what inspired me to no longer just be in the audience for Magic. (1/6)

Game Knight coins - it is beautiful and satisfyingly weighty to hold. It's the perfect trigger reminder, or Monarch token, or anything else!
If you'd like one, check out the Game Knights Kickstarter!
Deck indecision is gripping me so bad for Magic Arena. I want to play a standard deck, but unlike mtgo or paper magic, if I invest my wildcards in a deck I don't like, I can't trade back out of it into something else. I really wish I could turn my unplayed rares into playables.
Some more looks at my Gisa, Glorious Resurrector cosplay from last weekend!
I'm really proud of how this came together, which involved a lot of hand sewing (I don't have a sewing machine) and painting in addition to bought pieces. I'll defs run it back at another event someday 🥰
Canada/Australia, we aren't immune, we have to keep demanding facists get deplatformed, denied air time, anything to stop the growth of the right white supremacists that ARE in our countries. The US is merely an advanced case of a sickness we're already infected with.
We need more women in magic. We need to remove barriers at the FNM level, so more girls will enter the competitive scene and stay. We need more writers, streamers, podcasters, cosplayers. Because eventually, those assholes who harassed Christine? We. Will. Smoke. Them. Out. (6/6)

It isn't? But it costs nothing to say "I understand, but I want to play for the full prize, I'm not interested in a split." If the opponent makes a fuss then, it's on them.
EXCITING NEWS! Now everything has been approved, I can announce that I am moving to Canada next year! Woohoo! 🇨🇦🏒❄️
I'm headed there on a working holiday visa from March 2019. I'm excited to see new places, meet new people, and experience living upside-down!
If I follow you on Twitter and you've replied to me at least once, odds are I refer to you as "my friend" when talking to my family because explaining the nuances of internet acquaintances, casual networking, and parasocial relationships really kills the zoom call vibe.
Wow it's like the whole time when we were saying the community drives women out of Magic we weren't making it up. All those people harassing CS are just regular dudes down at potentially your LGS.
So turns out the paints I used to alter my Yuriko into K/DA Akali actually ARE UV reactive 😅 the colours are a bit off, but it's still cool.
I wonder if I can put that big cool dragon on the alter purely in invisible ink 🤔
I wish people would stop wanting Brawl to fail. I really like it. I've had a lot of fun brewing for it in particular, which I can't say for many other formats. Be as cynical as you want about why Wizards are pushing it, but try not to be malicious about it.
Michelle got a permanent ban for this. TERFs mass reported her account and

I am travelling to Ottawa next week so I can vote in the Australian election. $100 to travel there and back doesn't really even out with the $20 fine for not voting but it's important to me.
Wild Rift has custom animations for some of the champion skins, which as far as I can tell you can only see when you're browsing the Champion collection?! It isn't even part of the main game and this is the level of love and care they're showing their characters and designs.
@wachelreeks
"When one or more" it has to be a second trigger like this, because otherwise it's all one trigger and the cards aren't in the graveyard and able to be targeted yet ("exile target"). It's unfortunate that it makes it so awkward to read, it's basically a flowchart in text form.
I DM'D D&D FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TEN-ISH YEARS AND IT WENT PRETTY WELL THE PLAYERS HAD FUN AND I AM BUILDING A MYSTERY AND THE PARTY ARE DOING SILLY THINGS TOGETHER AND THERE'S A KOBOLD MAPMAKER WHOMST I LOVE
@adribbleofink
I highly recommend The Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee. It's the start of a finished trilogy which has WILD ideas I've never seen anything like in sci fi, almost every character is queer in some form or another, and has some incredible psych thriller elements to its space opera.
Dad: Wow, Pokemon cards are so popular now! Maybe your old ones are worth something! Haha, just kidding.
Me: Hahahahaha

Me: ...Dad when did you last update the house contents insurance, because, uh-
I love following people for one thing, like Magic or hockey, and then seeing all the other things they're really passionate about! I love learning about all different things, and how excited people get for them! Keep loving things!!!
@Lexacutable
This exact environment but in an urban exploration game where you explore abandoned buildings would be rad for people like me who have always wanted to explore empty old blocks but are also very scared.
Oh my gosh. I can't believe this is happening, but I am SO excited, I was selected to be one of the listener guests on Game Knights with

Me: kicked off a new project today, and I am SO excited by this one!!!
Him: today I also worked on some really exciting stuff!!!
Me: I'll tell you about it properly next year
Him: I'll tell you in three years
Most people watching Game Knights: Wow what a fun and exciting game!
My friends back in Australia: MILLY WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOUR ACCENT LMAO
[I definitely take on some elements of the accent up here after a while, it's an unconscious mimicry! It's never totally gone though]
And just like that, I beat Chrono Trigger.
It was unbelievably hyped up for me, with so many people telling me it's one of their all time favourites.
I can now say it's one of my favourites too. What an amazing game!!!
@Polygon
Reasonable article, acknowledges an impossible ask.
But how is everyone struggling in combat so much? I feel like I'm not a hardcore CRPG player or anything, but I'm finding it way too easy even on Tactician.
What do I know that the game isn't communicating to new players?
The new
