This is an awesome video that talks about card flicking as stimming, the tactical advantages in gameplay as well as the neuroscience of Autism!
Please go watch it because it’s an amazing video and super fascinating!!!
Ever wondered why you (or your fellow players) flick cards? This video explores that question!

So. As an autistic member of the MTG community, I feel obligated to address the Extra Life Secret Lair.
50% of proceeds go to the Autism Center at Seattle Children's Hospital, which uses Applied Behavioral Analysis therapy to "treat" autistic children.
Let's talk about this.
My girlfriend is a beautiful trans woman who has been playing Magic for over 10 years. We were both in tears reading “The Truth of Names”.
She had been bullied at FNM for playing Alesha decks but it had always been her favorite, and the story meant so much to both of us.
Hey, soooo…
not sure if anyone’s noticed yet
but there’s been a slight update to Wizards’ previews article…
👀
I HAVE A PREVIEW CARD FOR NEW CAPENNA ON APRIL 14th AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

OH MY GOD HOLY SHIT I JUST PAINTED MY FIRST ALTER AND IT TURNED OUT SO GOOD?!?! LOOK AT THIS!!! IM HOPPED UP ON COLD MEDICINE AND USING 6-YEAR-OLD PAINT MARKERS FROM STAPLES BUT IT LOOKS SO GOOD??!!!
I don’t know how to clean off the back though.
BUT AHHHHH THIS IS AWESOME
Pride Across the Multiverse will be the first Secret Lair I purchase and I will be getting four of them: one to frame on my wall, one to keep in my binder, one to play with, and one to send to my girlfriend who will undoubtably sob over the Alesha card
remembering the first time I went to my LGS in the city, I was really nervous and I got super dressed up, did my makeup, push-up bra & boots & everything, and proceeded to get my ass handed to me on turn 5 by an 11-year-old playing Dragons
GATHER 'ROUND MY PRECIOUS ANGEL CHILDREN, allow me to introduce to you our newest angel, Inspiring Overseer!
I do love me some Angel-Cleric action, and life gain & card draw are always good!
Isn't she BEAUTIFUL? Those wings!!
Huge thanks to WOTC for the free preview!

I have recently learned about a subreddit called r/CatsPlayingMTG and I urgently needed to share this information with the rest of you.
You’re welcome.
Playing commander at my LGS; one of my opponents’ deck is full of NSFW alters and another opponent is wearing a shirt that says “That’s what she said”
SOS
People keep asking me what band my shirt is, and it’s always awkward when I have to be like, “Actually it’s a fantasy trading card game…”
But seriously this shirt is awesome it’s such a cool design, I love it
Okay so I recently found out that Drannith Magistrate stops people from being able to cast their Commanders and I’m now trembling before the sheer power of this card white is so good !!!
WAIT SOMEONE TELL ME IF THIS WOULD WORK BC IF IT DOES IM A GENIUS
1. Cast mycosynth and all permanents are artifacts, including lands!
2. Attach mechanized production to an Island.
3. Profit?? Assuming you have 8 Islands, you win the game! Otherwise you still get free lands?!
When I was really depressed, there was a very unhealthy forum that started with an "s" that I would frequent regularly.
Now when I type "s" into my browser, Scryfall's search for every Magic card containing the word "Angel" auto-completes instead.
I'm happy with this progress.
My mom is having family friends over for dinner and I was really nervous because human interaction, ew
bUT WE TALKED ABOUT ANIME & THEN THEY LET ME INFODUMP ABOUT MAGIC FOR A FULL HOUR I SHOWED THEM MY BINDER & MY ANGEL DECK & IM SO CLOSE TO CONVERTING THE DND PLAYER AJSDHKSJD
I freaking love this game, look at this interaction!!! That's freaking awesome. this game is just so cool and I forget that sometimes, but then I see cards like this and I just. am blown away. idk
Apparently my gf doesn’t know how to sideboard so when she played big tournaments she just had 15 Islands in her sideboard that she would swap out for the ones in her deck to make her opponent think she was sideboarding I’m 😂😂
I'M BINGEWATCHING RHYSTIC STUDIES AND MY ROOMMATE THINKS I'M CRAZY BECAUSE I KEEP SITTING UP AND FLAILING BECAUSE THIS GAME IS SO FREAKING COOL AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH I LITERALLY CANNOT CONTAIN MYSELF
I’m about to stream on the official Commander Rules Committee stream with the people who literally make this entire format possible…and this is my stream setup 💀
someone be proud of me please 😭
The white/blue color pair is about the Snow Queen, which is based on a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. The first of

's three witch sisters.
Bitches be like “I want Kamigawa to be culturally appropriate, accurate, & respectful to Japanese tradition” but also want kickass cyberpunk angels.
It’s me, I’m bitches
I’ve got two big announcements I keep putting off partially because I’m still in denial so let’s just rip off the bandaid:
I’m moving to Philadelphia and liquidating most of my Magic collection.
April is Autism Awareness month and I have plans!
There’s a huge autistic population in the MTG community, but no one seems to talk about it that much?
I plan on changing that!
If you’re an autistic content creator or streamer & want to be involved, please DM me!
WAIT OKAY I FREAKING LOVE THAT MTG BROUGHT BACK DOUBLE FACED CARDS IN MAGIC ORIGINS TO INDICATE THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHARACTERS INTO PLANESWALKERS AFTER THEIR SPARK IS IGNITED THATS SO FREAKING COOL AND AWESOME AND THEMATIC AHHHHSKDJSNNSKSJSJJDKDKSMSJS
Hey guys just hear me out okay, but did you know that if you see someone talking about something they enjoy, but you didn’t particularly enjoy it yourself, you’re allowed to just…let them enjoy it!! I know it sounds crazy but trust me on this one…
Hello to all my new followers!
I’m Snow Queen of Hoth.
I learned how to play MTG a few months ago & I’m fully obsessed!
I’m autistic and use she/her pronouns.
I like janky white decks, & dislike control decks.
Feel free to introduce yourself so I can get to know you all! ⬇️
