SJD in progress @UofTLaw. Works on the regulation of public property & admin law. LLM @queensu; BCL/JD @mcgillu. Tweets about 0 mana 2-for-1s in MTG. 🇮🇹 🇨🇳

@PiemontiAndrea @DuressCrew I think the sideboard is an open question. I'd imagine Andy has a tough time against Brain Freeze pivots. Maybe there is room to make Meddling Mages work over some of the Annuls & maybe the Glaciers. Idt he likes Mages at all, but my one insight is maybe an Arcane Lab 2/2

[Oliver @weldingjar]

@PiemontiAndrea @DuressCrew I don't want to speak for Andy V, but the logic behind the way he builds Landstill is to maximize the unfairness of Standstill as the best card in the 75. I think you want the 4th Standstill more than the 3rd FoF; and both are better than the 2nd Keg. 1/2

So humiliating when I go get ice cream with people who order flavors like Earl Gray or Lavender or Lemon and then my greedy ass orders like Chocolate Chipper Double Dipper Brownie Explosion Landslide

@dominharvia Unbeatable vibes on this 61-card special 🥴

@RolandMTG Please save a few for Lobstercon 2027🥲

Nolan’s adaptation of Homer looks all wrong. Old ships and wooden horses and mythical creatures. Homer works at a power plant and eats donuts. He’s friends with Lenny and Carl. I guess we’ll see. 🤷‍♂️

@BugsyOP Every day is a gift

@ByerBeware @HexAndCompany @fivewithflores I think you've stumbled on the most whimsical version of a Terravore/Oath shell. Goooooood stuff

[Oliver @weldingjar]

I wonder if Daniel 5:5 will find a way to tag the BMO Field. There are presumably no days off for Toronto's most prolific graffiti artist.

@wildstwawberry Show up to Christie Pits with a few friends and a pizza from Mac's on a warm summer day with a light breeze. In the alternative, Drom Taberna for live music with a little Rosie's banana pudding break hits harder than any local tournament. Glhf & see you at Premodern sometime.

@wildstwawberry There's a lot to love about this suite. My first instinct was to award Spirebluff Canals to all entrants, Steam Vents to the players in the Top 8 and then a textless Riverpyre Verge to the winner.

Slightly older. New glasses. Same jacket and optimism.

GO HABS GOOOOO!!! YESSSSSS BABY

@BugsyOP EXCELLENT

@toph4_mtg I can get behind Tranquil Domain :)

Rallied to a 9-5 finish at Lobstercon 2026 after starting with two losses. Drank some Modelos and played good Magic to end up the highest placing Goblins player 👺👑 Despite not hitting my expected match-up spread, I'm happy with my list and my process for predicting the meta. 🔽

@wildstwawberry I had an epiphany that it had the best vibes to conversion rate: I get to turn creatures sideways; my lands are great; and I get time between rounds to watch great games and/or talk to friends both new and old. Kindred strategies are great for gathermaxxing. It's in the name :)

[Oliver @weldingjar]

@toph4_mtg Mostly just Naturalize to make sure 2 EPlagues never exist on the board at the same time + some number of PyroKs depending on their threat configuration. Reduce your X/1 density (Skirk + Sharp out. Some Lackey(s) out OTD/Fanatic(s) OTP. Find* Ringleaders, don't keep* multiples.

@JMoirZOOCREW @VampiricTutor_ GGs you absolute legend. My mirror sets with you & Patrick Sweet were standouts.

I love Pyrokinesis :)

[Oliver @weldingjar]

Love my NYC Order of the Sacred Torch pals. Thank you for your generosity and for the great hangs ❤️

@DuressCrew puts on the best tournament in the world. Can't stress enough how great Lobstercon is 🤙

Great opponents. Better people. Same time next year? 🙌
