Magic, 2020: "We can't let viashino be a creature type, there'll be too many questions on what lizard people are and are not a viashino and it can mess with kindred synergies!"

Magic, 2025: "These are our new creature types, Hero and Villain. They will be in one set."

Quite a few applications for a cheap creature that removes blockers, gives some burn and finds cards. More previews at https://t.co/nEAD56xTUs

@maleoj It does, but Tablet Revelation doesn’t really need a four mana beater that really only synergizes with a handful of the spells they run. Plus I’m not sure what you would cut to run even one copy of this.

[Nyx @pyrogoyf]

@Thedirk_digglet MOM and ONE, despite their ostensibly bad story, are kind of amazing examples of what I’m talking about, though. Their cards did a very good job at telling the very bad story.

[Nyx @pyrogoyf]

I think my biggest problem with UB is that it takes the amazing storytelling WOTC has developed through card mechanics and completely throws it away for a worse version of top-down design. I don’t look at these cards and learn anything, I just go “I guess that’s what he’d do.”

namelessmtg is the ratlimit of magic twitter. Painfully obvious shitposts to people who are in on the joke, yet countless more people fall for it simply because he posts what probably would’ve been posted in earnest by someone else anyways.

this is my personal mike long tale. it leaves out a bit of context of our first interaction at spotlight orlando in 2025.

cheaters and scumbags and bigots do not belong in competitive magic. don't let them feel welcome.

[Nyx @pyrogoyf]

evergreen tweet, I guess.

begging the tl to stop showing me infinites for commander i really dont care 😭

@Smthnoranything Whenever I’d teach magic to my campers, I would *love* sitting down with them and telling them the story of the beginner decks they were playing. The Geist of Saint Traft was a legend. I don’t think that spark would’ve been there if it was Iron Man.

[Nyx @pyrogoyf]

It happened with Jace fatigue, too. We’ve seen enough of these characters with no unique spin and they lose all compelling traits as a consequence. Yeah, I guess Jace would mill here. Yeah I guess wolverine would regenerate. Yeah, I guess TMNT would like food.

[VAL @ValerieNoName]

picked up a new deck :)

@Pige0nize Why would affinity ever play this card?

[Nyx @pyrogoyf]

this has been a thing for a while. Please don't sloppify it.

[MTGO Salseo @MTGOsalseo]

this works the way i think?

[Nyx @pyrogoyf]

Gamma, Kree, Eternal, Symbiote, and all the other marvel slop creature types have zero reason to not just be mutants, aliens, or whatever else. We’re so creatively bankrupt that our keywords and creature types exist solely for hype moments and aura.

It’s spoiler season for a ub set again, or as I like to call it banger hunting season for every sixty card player

[Nyx @pyrogoyf]

@ManaDorksMagic 1) We should not be making cards overpowered just because they’re scary villains in the lore.

2) If an above-rate creature for three mana that doubles as a potentially discounted board wipe isn’t a threat to you, you have already won the game.

1 year ago today, Jonathan Joss was murdered in a homophobic hate crime.

Best known for voicing John Redcorn, Jonathan was a memorable part of many fans’ childhoods and will not be forgotten.

[Nyx @pyrogoyf]

i thought limited print runs stopped this? what happened?

[Saffron Olive @SaffronOlive]

Someone bought the Goblin Secret Liar Commander deck, but was shipped an unannounced Miku Secret Lair Commander deck instead. They were smart enough to keep it sealed and now it's selling for over $10k on Ebay with a day left. What a wild story.

@ChazakielDoremi There is no monster in house of leaves. That’s the whole point.
