FOLKS THE LEGEND IS TRUE
You can still find old powerful wizard squares in a box from someone's past.
These were part of an old Sarpoling deck ☺️

Competitive Magic formats still have massive barriers to entry for non-male or POC players and it's worse with eternal formats!🤔
Many players still have many unconscious biases which they could address but either don't want or, don't care to or want it that way.
Plz do better!
IT CAME!
I AM SO HAPPY! 🥳🌈🥰
Bird Maiden was the card that captured how important it is to see yourself in the game and it's resonated with me ever since.
I have both print + playmat which I'll frame in my office.
This is a special piece of my collection and I'll treasure it

Only sour point was my delver opponent saying that I was intimidating due to my energy (ive never spoken to this person) and then proceeds to use underhanded sarcasm when I mulligan to 5 in 2 games with my personal favorite "well at least youre adorable"
Don't be this guy.
We had an Ox of Agonas stuck under our decking after a cube draft last summer.
We can confirm it has now escaped and it still looks playable! 👌

Yesterday I received the sad news that my paternal grandma passed away.
Even though we weren't close in recent years, they were a big part of my childhood and were a big reason why I spoke Farsi fluently.
I'm feeling a bit melancholic and would appreciate some positive vibes.
It still astonishes me how much Italian players love eternal formats, especially accessible ones such as Pauper.
This is so impressive. Have a great day folks!
What an amazing weekend at
@4Tournaments

A bit more chilled but my heart is full of love seeing friends old & new, eating good food and playing Magic.
I learnt more about how I play, being in the moment and picking up on level up moments, which is worth its weight in gold.🧵
I cannot tell how long I have waited for this email to close this chapter of my PhD.
Thanks to my supervisors for their patience. Now we wait and I can move on to new work

What's your favourite piece of graffiti? I don't know if mine still exists, but there used to be one saying "Lubię rosół". Which translates as "I like chicken noodle soup". How could you not?
Do you ever feel annoyed at yourself for playing in an

tournament?
I should have just relaxed at home instead of throwing my actual money in the proverbial toilet.
I misplayed because I was distracted. I love legacy but if I am not focused, then what's the point?
So

It's a blast from the past that's for sure

Lots of laughs, banter, and fun games. Magic is not the same without the Gathering.
Until next time.

Legacy may not be recognized as a competitive format, but the community is thriving!
Exciting initiatives like
@EULegacyMasters
are giving players a reason to play events.
Legacy is thriving and I'd wager that people weren't playing Legacy in team trios for RC invites.
A source has come to me and explained that starting from next month, Wizards of the Coast will not allow Legacy to qualify you for a Regional Championship
This means that if you are the legacy seat in a winning Team Trios event, you will be the only seat not to get an invite 1/2
My Humans of Magic episode is out for the public tomorrow.
Humans of Magic patrons have exclusive access now 😁
I can't wait for you all to listen to this. It was so much fun to record 💛

As much as I am a fan of proxies and getting people playing older formats, there is also a fine line of where that can be done. If you're in a store that has sanctioned events, play with the cards

Now THIS WAS AWESOME!
I asked

I got crushed but I saw that old Legacy gamer come out as if they never left.
Thank you for giving me this memory and you're always welcome to Delver at any event I'm attending.
