I was incorrect on WeeklyMTG today--there are more Mystical Archive cards still to be revealed! #wotcstaff

As always, we'll be on WeeklyMTG tomorrow (23 hours from this post) to discuss all of this and whatever questions you may have! Feel free to drop any questions/thoughts here and we'll cover what we can. #wotcstaff

I'm seeing a lot of takes on why Lorwyn Eclipsed preview season is short. It's pretty simple: It's because of the holidays. A normal 2-week preview season would have started Dec. 29 or 30, when our offices are (rightfully) closed. Enjoy your holidays and we'll see you Jan. 5 #wotcstaff

For the final WeeklyMTG of 2025, Blake is throwing a #MTGxMarvel party as a gift to himself. You can come too. Join Blake, and special guests @wachelreeks.com and Gabriel Luna at 10AM Pacific over at twitch.tv/Magic!

The GOAT. #wotcstaff

Sorry everyone, WeeklyMTG is canceled today due to some last-minute, totally unforeseen issues unrelated to my completely foreseeable birthday. We'll see you next week! #WOTCstaff

I don’t talk much about my wife’s charity work, but Boyer Children’s Clinic is near and dear to our hearts. Help out an amazing cause and donate to get some cool stuff you may recognize: boyercc2025.ggo.bid/bidding/pack... #WOTCstaff

So why do I keep going on and on about OMENS OF CHAOS? A couple of reasons.

Hey. Just wanted to remind y'all that this is coming. Look. Look! I convinced Wizards of the Coast to let me write a print MAGIC THE GATHERING novel!

Announcing the 2027 Magic Limited Championship #mtg #MagicLimitedChampionship The upcoming Magic Limited Championship is a special tournament that puts the focus on Limited. The MLC will take place in 2027. 3 days, $500k prize pool, Top 8 to Worlds

My back gave out putting pants on this morning. I'm sooooo close to 40s bingo.

I feel so seen, specifically around the 40 min mark. #wotcstaff youtu.be/7T3k_nXidKI?...

Just over 30 minutes till @gavinverhey.bsky.social and @carmparens.bsky.social join me on WeeklyMTG to answer all the questions about yesterday's B&R announcement. See you on twitch.tv/magic then! #wotcstaff

Looks like we left the next B&R date out of the article. We'll get that updated. It's June 30. #Wotcstaff #https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/banned-and-restricted-announcement-march-31-2025

New B&R article just dropped. Lotta write-ups from folks, and you can catch myself, @gavinverhey.bsky.social, and @blakepr.bsky.social on Weekly MTG to talk about this stuff tomorrow morning! What do y'all think? #WOTCstaff magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

5 minutes till we spend an hour just making dragon noises. #wotcstaff

A few people on stream asked for the decklist I used to hit Mythic with on stream. This UR Monument/Memory deck can do some pretty sweet, explosive things. It has Bo3 potential, but I built this for Bo1. Enjoy. #wotcstaff

Back to WeeklyMTG after two weeks off. Taking it easy this week with a play stream as I try to hit Mythic with some brews. So come hang out. Or don't. You do you. #wotcstaff twitch.tv/magic

Magic on Good Morning America! #wotcstaff www.goodmorningamerica.com/shop/video/s...

I got to play so much Canlander at MagicCon Chicago against a bunch of awesome people. The games were fun, my decks were great, and it continues to be the best format. #wotcstaff

Preview panel in t-minus 20 minutes. #wotcstaff

Oh look, it’s time for my regularly scheduled “what decks do I bring MagicCon” decision paralysis. #wotcstaff

This is a big one! Now about 75 minutes away on twitch.tv/magic. #wotcstaff

Now a mere 4 minutes away. Virtually instant gratification! #wotcstaff

Preview cards include one @thequietfish.bsky.social called “the most dangerous card in the set.” See you in 10! #wotcstaff

12 minutes! Soon (TM). Come for the movie poster Emrakul, stay for draft talk and wandering nostalgia. #WOTCstaff
