@jkyu06 You know Jarvis, they just call these “Cards” in China.

@Mengu09 @coL_Amazonian 2, 6 (2F), 5, 6, 4, 2. This is basically me just playing Arena Opens and being too lazy to sell boxes

@Sierkovitz @MTG_Scribe As much as I love my fellow game designer @BasicMountain, his contributions to Riftbound came post-engine creation.

@karsten_frank @CoreyBaumeister @UltimateGuard The best kind of correct

[Ben Seck ☕️🐝💲 @TBSdash]

Instead of getting promos of cards that no one ever plays, WOTC should go back into cool shit like Dragon deck pouches, and PTQ qualifier pins (really, this is just a lame old magic person flex. Also let’s just go back to the PTQ system!! 🙃)

[Ben Seck ☕️🐝💲 @TBSdash]

@JimmyMcNulty410 Possibly, but I’m not looking specifically to sell them.

While on a recent trip home to Australia, found my old collection of almost every Duelist Magazine, along with a bunch of Duelist Sideboard (the OP mini magazine), along with a few other goodies. Kids these days don’t know how hard it was to get information back then 👴

@Sierkovitz I think it’s just trying to show the current internet climate:
Fatehold = Prediction Markets
Theorix = “I did my own research” bros
Stingerquill = Edgelords Keyboard warriors
Kostrari = AI models
Vigorbloom = Anti-Vax and RFK Jr adjacent peeps

@Smdster @MatthewLNass @Mengu09 @bsweitz123 This content is just filler, buster.

@fanfinity_mtg How do you register your team for Brussels if they aren't with you physically when you register? The only way to link accounts is via a QR code, which is hard to share when it refreshes every 60 seconds.

@InsayneHayne @OndrejStrasky @fireshoes I make good choices

[Ben Seck ☕️🐝💲 @TBSdash]

@InsayneHayne @OndrejStrasky @fireshoes I play for the love of the game

[Ben Seck ☕️🐝💲 @TBSdash]

@BasicMountain @Glenn_Jones_ @NileJoanRivers The other luminaries who contributed to that game were @BenRubin_Magic and PT champ Ken Ho. Quickstrike would be great as an LCG (as much as I hate that format), and I’ve also thought about how to port to mobile. Hacker wanted to make it feel like tennis, and imho it works.

[Ben Seck ☕️🐝💲 @TBSdash]

@fireshoes @blakepr I really think that one Limited Spotlight (for each region) per non-mini (Spidey/TMNT) set would be a great start. The general quality of Limited formats is great, and its a shame for them to essentially be online only for most people.

[Ben Seck ☕️🐝💲 @TBSdash]

@fireshoes @blakepr Let's not get ahead of ourselves with more formats, and just run more events with the only format that has gotten over 1k players EVERY TIME.

[Robert Taylor 🔥 @fireshoes]

@blakepr I think one of Magic's greatest strengths is the variety of ways it can be played, but we've seen Standard over and over for RCQs and Spotlights (with a little Modern or Limited as a treat). When can we expect other formats, such as Pioneer, Pauper, and Legacy, receive support?

I'm Head of R&D for a mobile gaming studio and one of my projects, "FruitFall!", is at a crucial stage, and I'd love if you tried it! Its available on the iOS app store. It will appeal to puzzle game or Suika (Watermelon) Game fans, I hope you'll enjoy it! https://t.co/2jYher9t34

@MightyLinguine @Smdster Did @Smdster watch it raw without any backstory/knowledge of the show?

[Ben Seck ☕️🐝💲 @TBSdash]

@SamuelHBlack Oh got it. The more prominent Momo deck isn’t angels, but now I see that version.

[Ben Seck ☕️🐝💲 @TBSdash]

@SamuelHBlack It’s way more of a Momo deck than an angel deck (from an engine perspective, and there’s only one angel). Whenever you name it a typal name you imply that it involves more than one version of that creature.
