I create things and play games.

It should only be a minor inconvenience since the double slash is separated by a single space. Worst case, people writing… not good code can add an exception for “P//d”

[Magic Data Science @mtg_ds]

This cardname having two forward slashes is probably going to cause some issues for anyone who has tried to write code that handles DFC names, which are often separated by " // "

From 5 years ago? Not many. I assume the people who had that opinion five years ago didn’t stick around long enough to see the Final Fantasy set.

[Corbin Hosler @Chosler]

How many of the “Universes Beyond will kill Magic” people from five years ago do you think were standing in the Final Fantasy lines that stretched around the block?

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

So which team is going to hire Sturm during next year's All-Star Break and make their way into playoffs after Boston fires him for a slow start?

[Boston Bruins @NHLBruins]

Marco's coming home.

Marco Sturm has been named the 30th head coach in #NHLBruins history.

To lose a game because you didn't touch home plate after scoring a home run would be completely absurd and I can't imagine wanting to win on a technicality like that.

My interest in the Women's College World Series was saved by Appendix G.

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

I started preparing for cEDH tournaments last winter then realized how common draws are in a tournament setting and completely lost interest. This and the combination of cheating and angle shooting politics has completely turned me off to the format.

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

Well done everyone.

[Pablo Torre Finds Out @pablofindsout]

86-year-old Kim Soriano went viral on TikTok after people discovered he’s been playing at least 162 games a year as the Yankees on MLB The Show for two decades — and keeping score by hand.

We got Jon 'Boog' Sciambi — the video game's announcer — to prank him by doing the play-by-play live. 😂😂

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

@scryfall My initial plan was Bloomburrow then a little research suggested Thunder Junction.

A caveat to the chaos draft is that you get to choose a creature (any creature) to act as your commander but no color identity restrictions.

So sets with good creatures would be a bonus.

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

What is the best collector booster to pick up from Standard legal sets right now (both value and power)?

There's a chaos draft where you get to open (and keep) a collector booster of your choice then do the normal chaos draft with three play boosters.

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

How would I search for exclusive cards and special guests for collector boosters on @scryfall?

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

Also tagging #WOTCstaff for opinions but felt weird putting the tag on the main post. I'm happy to delete this tweet if the tag isn't appropriate for non-staff.

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

@MTGGoldfish Aren't all four of the precons white (Terra, Cloud, Tidya, and Y'shtola)? I'd expect one of each printing to be in each deck but I suppose that could break the FFVI, FFVII, FFX, and FFXIV thing going on, too.

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

@ConnorCoultrup @tronisbad It's an activated ability, those are signified with a colon (":") -- most newer cards tap as part of their activated ability but Vivi does not.

It needs to use the stack and the option to use it at instant speed so it ended up with what's printed.

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

Let's go!!

[The Masters @TheMasters]

A long time coming. Congratulations, Rory. #themasters

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

Respect.

[Sam Blum @SamBlum3]

Mike Trout meets with the fan and his son.

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

I said it before the errata, WotC should blanket ban companions and change the ruling back to how it was printed.

The rationale for banning Jegantha was absurd, btw. Essentially said they didn’t want a card that limited deck design when that’s the core concept for companions.

[Brian Kibler @bmkibler]

A five mana 5/5 getting banned across multiple formats even after the blanket Companion nerf really goes to show just how insane it is the mechanic ever saw the light of day.

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

I can finally unironically say, "That's Ohio."

[Rep. Josh Williams @JoshWilliamsOH]

I am proud to introduce the O.H.I.O Sportsmanship Act to make flag planting at midfield a felony in the state of Ohio.

Behavior that incites violent brawls and puts our law enforcement officers in danger has no place on the football field.

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

I like the move. Darnold is probably a starting QB for another team next season and this is a good backup option for the Vikings (assuming Jones is willing to do that) for next year and beyond -- assuming there are no setbacks in McCarthy's recovery.

[NFL @NFL]

QB Daniel Jones plans to sign with Minnesota Vikings after clearing waivers. (via @rapsheet, @tompelissero, @cameronwolfe)

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

Good idea, you can't get in trouble for not playing if you're suspended.

[Bleacher Report @BleacherReport]

BREAKING: Joel Embiid has been suspended for three games without pay after an altercation shoving a columnist in the locker room

[Corey Docken @ctdocken]

Bring back damage on the stack, you cowards.

[Sam Bogue @IslandGoSAMe]

This is HUGE news that I don't see a lot of MTG people talking about. It's all the way at the bottom of the Foundations Mechanics webpage.

Although the release of Foundation is definitely the best time to clean up any archaic rules, this really doesn't feel needed.
