Hey world. Hope you are staying in, safe and healthy. Enjoy a little sketch I wrote in-between shifts at work. Ignore the idiots on the news, stay at home, and eventually the Gathering can return to Magic.
Wish me a swift victory people of the internet. I am, along with all my coworkers in the union, going on strike today. Never had to strike before but I am excited to put management in their place to get the treatment that we deserve and that our patients deserve.
@Vergil_Armbrust lol you know me, opening as many cards as I could so could steal them all 🙄
(In defense of the card being in the “trash binder”, it was never above a dollar during my time working in LGSs)
This is the worst possible outcome. Do I think the most recent bannings were handled poorly, yes. But things are going to get worse for the format when its controlled by a company forced to beat last year’s profits instead of community members with only its best interest at heart
As a result of the threats last week against RC members, it has become impossible for us to continue operating as an independent entity. Given that, we have asked WotC to assume responsibility for Commander and they will be making decisions and announcements going forward.
@TechentinChris I’d say Nadu & Dockside most folks saw coming, even if Dockside was a longer shot. But Lotus & Crypt definitely felt out of nowhere. They said Lotus was on their radar when it was first printed but we’ve heard nothing more since then & Crypt has been in the format since inception
EDH Ban list update hot takes no one asked for:
Nadu: this was a question of when, not if.
Lotus: I always thought this card was a mistake.
Dockside: shocked it actually happened, but not surprised.
Crypt: yes it’s zero costed fast mana but this still felt very out of left field.
What a weekend! I experienced my first in-person Go Fest with @Vergil_Armbrust in NYC & it was a blast. I caught so many shiny Pokemon, many that I doubted I’d ever get. Big moments included lucky flipping shiny Necrozmas with Crow and going from 0 to 9 shiny furfrous in 2 days!
