I hear *someone* is having a sale next week. I guess they have to try and recoup some of that $2.5 billion they’re forking over for *checks notes* being deceptive? Who would’ve thought? Feels like Oct 7 & 8 will be prime days to support independent bookstores. 😌

Bringing this friend with me to the IX showcase, hopefully along with some other APs. Toof! #artistproof #mtg
