STAR TREK! Check out all the amazing new cards (and banger reprints) in the FEDERATION FLEET commander deck.

Desert Bus for Hope is still hurtling through a digital desert, but the Star Trek MTG hype train also has no brakes and we're revealing the Federation Fleet commander precon deck in a little under two hours! 😃

Time for Desert Bus 2026! We kick things off in ~30mins @ twitch.tv/desertbus

I am at Desert Bus all week long, starting tomorrow at 4pm Pacific time! I also made a Bell Beast that you can win! #DesertBusForHope

Kinda figured someone would wander by and do this. It remains wild to me that with still slightly over 48 hours before we even START this years run, we have already matched what we made in year one.

Behold! Two shirts, both alike in dignity. One, celebrates the past, 20 bus routes of stamps adorn its back. The other, a cream colored vision of the present that demands you adorn your 3-D glasses now.

This update from CBC's coverage of the referendum made my evening. Great bit.

Best part about the bullshit Alberta separatist referendum failing isn't just that it failed, but that it failed in EVERY riding, even in places where it wasn't a complete landslide. Albertans never wanted this.

I need a better hobby than leaving comments that say, "the fuck do you mean WE?" on posts that talk about how, "obviously we all use AI…"

A pickaxe signed 15 years ago, Mojang employee merch, and some capes, all for charity. Tune into @desertbus.org this month for your chance to get this bundle of Minecraft history! desertbus.org/2026/prize/1... Create your account early and get emailed when this prize goes live!

Shared this song on Brave New Faves (thank you Kathleen for playing it), and it got a… weird reception from the chat? I guess I misread the room. I think it's beautiful and earnest poetry about spreading happiness through art, from a rapper I first enjoyed years ago for his very juvenile lyrics 😅

This is a photo I didn't take (because I look haggard) of me having recently voted in the municipal elections. Woo voting!

Did you miss last night's Friday Night Paper Fight feat. @gavinverhey.bsky.social and Mystery Booster Commander Edition? Don't even worry about it, because the replay is already online for your weekend viewing enjoyment. And thanks again to Gavin for making this happen! youtu.be/fVmsuYTasPs

The final Pre-PreRelease of 2026 is on the horizon! Join us Wednesday, November 4th at 10:00AM with special guests @itsannamargaret.com and @wotcmatt.bsky.social for the Star Trek PPR! Your first chance to see sealed gameplay in action! #MTGxStarTrek #Sponsored

So stoked to be previewing a WHOLE ENTIRE COMMANDER DECK for MTGxStar Trek!! 🖖 This deck is amazing and you do not want to miss our video. Make sure to follow our Commander Arcade channel to be notified when it goes live on the 29th! 🔗⬇️: Let's boldly go. ✨ #MTGAmbassador #MTGxStarTrek

The Star Trek Previews article is out! We're revealing the entire Federation Fleet precon Commander deck on OCT 27th, and we're going to go through every dang card. The video will be very long I'll be very normal the entire time.

This week on CheckPoint we cover Nvidia rumours, the GTA VI leek, Epic's horrible launcher, and even Local Man @seabats.bsky.social

✨ WE DID IT. ✨ Episode 716 is LIVE! A LOT went down in Magic Town this week, so we’re breaking down all the news you need: 📦 Booster packs are changing 📖 The first UB set of 2027 is announced 🚫 New Brawl bans ✊ A Wizards union! youtu.be/mBk5R7coVJQ

Tapped out of watching the BC Leaders' Debate. It was fine, but it just made me sad that anybody who *needs* to hear Doerkson refusing to answer whether or not homophobia is hateful either isn't watching or won't actually care.

It’s kinda always like this, I’m not concerned at all. But it’s tricky to get really excited about Desert Bus in the lead up cause end of the day it’s this thing that takes every inch of being to do and that’s so much work :P Anyways, this year’s been even trickier with the show happening so early.

"We have our whole cast here… @seabats.bsky.social is TALL in the back! I didn't realize how large he is." Look at our large lad.

Foxmar (who's job is caretaker for his veteran mom) needs help to get a car, to do that job. Pictured: aforementioned mom and their current, deathtrap car.

Saw RESIDENT EVIL and, beyond the various small references, I thought it really captured the feeling and narrative flow of an RE game. Really enjoyed it. The tone reminds of EVIL DEAD 2, but not quite as silly. It's violent, bloody, and tense while still being light-hearted and funny in places.

How would you like to watch these folks write, film, and edit an entire Crapshot in real time? You do?! Great! Cause that's exactly what they're gonna do on The Crapshoot! www.twitch.tv/loadingready...

Bus is coming.

It's Friday and that means Pizzamas is almost over for another year, and when it ends, the Timeless Island goes away forever! $10 for charity and you get something packed with jokes like these: pizzamas.com/collections/...

New CheckPoint! The PS5 price spike, the AI "games" platform, Beej is—as ever—very normal about Sonic, and I go off on a tear about Bobby Kotick.

No AI in AFK (Part 1) 👻✍️

Very excited for Studio X and the D&D team to unionize. Hell yeah ✊🏻

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

Everyone loves a good Mystery, and what’s a better Mystery than a Mystery Booster 2 Draft? Join this group of goofs on tonight’s Friday Night Paper Fight! twitch.tv/loadingready...

This week's AEW Dynamite, a tribute show to the passing of Pac, is terrific viewing if you enjoy excellent wrestling and want to cry for two hours. Damn I'm gonna miss Pac.

Saw a thread suggesting Destiny as an MTG UB set, and I gotta say it maps very well, colour-wise. W - Humans/Traveler U - Vex B - Hive R - Cabal G - Eliksni Guardians perhaps centered W but across all colours. Witness etc are Colourless. Lots of fun equipment! Telesto pre-banned in Vintage.

Watching the Truth & Reconciliation event from Ottawa, and this is the part that gets me every year—the procession of the memorial cloth.

Have you ever in your life seen a better half dozen of anything than the 6 folks heading to #MCAtlanta this November? Thanks to @mtgfestivals.com for having us out, and we’re looking forward to seeing y’all there. #Sponsored.

I'm going to #MCAtlanta and I'm going to be really normal about Star Trek. @mtgfestivals.com #sponsored

Time for Jackbox on Crossing the Streams! twitch.tv/loadingready...

That means I'm on the job market again! If anyone is either hiring in, or knows someone who is, Social/Community/Comms Strategy and Management please reach out!

Sadly I have been let go from Wizards today as part of a bigger corporate restructure. Obviously I'm gutted and I will miss working on a game I love alongside some really incredible people. I'm glad that I get to look back at my work on MagicCon and Final Fantasy and be proud.

It’s Pizzamas! That means you can give $10 bucks to charity AND get an all-new, extremely weird one-shot! This one features an extended P.G. Wodehouse parody, a ton of classic Nerdfighter memes, and the best batch of pre-gen characters I’ve ever designed! pizzamas.com/collections/...

@graham.loadingreadyrun.com if you want to pass it along, maro just posted about it: www.tumblr.com/markrosewate...

What I know from speaking to people in the building, this would not happen. BUT if you get this player survey you should still tell them Absolutely No!

Twitch.tv/bravenewfaves A stream of all new music, how fun!

Tonight on a very special episode of LoadingReadyLIVE! Can our panel of experts Enut taht eman? Ben and Serge touch grass. WHATS. THAT. SMELL?! And finally, Will it Dumple? All that, and not much more on LoadingReadyLIVE. twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun

check it out

music.apple.com/ca/album/nat... Yes it starts with somber harpsichord and a single voice, but it ends with synth drums and a 90s electronica build. It's an amazingly fun song when it's finished.
