@SaffronOlive I’ll never understand why they haven’t released a “each player chooses four lands and sacrifices/destroys the rest” card. Punishes ramp while leaving aggro/midrange untouched. Every other strategy has counter play, why not ramp?

@SaffronOlive I have a purchased at least one booster box of every standard set since The Dark. When they introduced Set Boosters, I bought those. Last year Set boxes went from $140 to $180 CAD. Play Boosters are $210. That’s crossed the line for me. I’m just getting singles.

@maagsauce @SaffronOlive I’m doing fine, thanks! And yes, I’m still playing Magic. Never stopped.

@greypaul Announcers should just start calling it. “TFC up by 1 with 5 minutes left… looks like draw.”

@thealexrossart This is the cover that made me a comic collector. Your version is amazing. Love it.

@buildabear In October 2021 no one would have questioned a company considering NFTs. It's 2022 now. We know better. This is an unforced error for your brand.

I’ve finished a year of reading 340 chapters of @lemonysnicket as bedtime stories to my daughter. Read all 13 books, then immediately did it again. What should we read next @DanielHandler?

My interview on the history of Webkinz is out now on Forbes. Really enjoyed answering these questions. https://t.co/7dXRk027JI

@Liv3lov3laugh20 We’ve sent it to the stores for review. It’ll be out this week.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... #Webkinz

[Karl Borst @karlborst]

@SEFBDragon Thanks Sam. Can you let me know which platform you’re playing on? The camera is supposed to recenter on each room.

[Karl Borst @karlborst]

With Webkinz Classic we have our release system down to an art. Trying to coordinate between Apple, Google and Microsoft has proven to be... challenging...

[Karl Borst @karlborst]

@Ktwirls Sorry to say I’ve been fighting for movable doors in Classic since 2010 and they haven’t happened. But guess what, the new game has movable, removable, replaceable doors!

[Karl Borst @karlborst]

@1776Daughter @webkinz That’s how it works. You use the same username and password, but you need to pick a pet to play with and a World Name for your account. It’s a whole new game.

[Karl Borst @karlborst]

Today #Webkinz players will discover what we’ve been working on for the past two and a half years. It’s going to be a crazy day.

[Karl Borst @karlborst]

@Random_PersonYT @1776Daughter @webkinz The Webkinz Classic Desktop App is the exact Webkinz game we’ve had for 15 years. It will soon be 100% Flash-free.

Personal Webkinz fact: 10 years ago today I married the woman who created and wrote Plumpy Hippo. You know how Plumpy married Sir Rhineholt? Yeah, that’s me.
