Splinter Twin and Pestermite. Channel and Fireball. Flash and Protean Hulk. Magic players know how powerful a combo can be. That’s why Studio X and D&D are combining their union efforts—to be stronger, together! Help us pull off this win and sign our petition. 💪 actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

Yesterday, Wizards informed us that it doesn’t intend to voluntarily recognize the D&D or Studio X units of our union ahead of a vote. We remain committed to creating a workplace focused on wellness, transparency, and collaboration by winning our coming election.

I used to answer all of these requests directly. Sometime last year they all started asking questions clearly answered in our docs that nobody who knew what they're doing would ever have to ask, nor would even write. I've stopped reading or responding.

If your AI chatbot is telling you to contact us with five paragraphs of pleading to give your MTG project the legal go-ahead and a little kiss on the forehead: just don't. We can't give you legal advice and we don't want to hear about your vibe app.

Four things started happening last year: 1. Vibe coding took off as a concept. 2. Scryfall started getting DDoSed on the regular by people running apps making hundreds of thousands of requests in an hour. 3. We started getting a lot more “please unblock me” contacts. 4. That thing. ☝️

In 2024 questions came from someone who clearly read the docs and just needed a point clarified. Now there's an app you can think of, at least ten people are vibe coding another and all of them are sending lengthy messages asking for explicit approval. Not how this works! bsky.app/profile/dela...

Have you seen my collection? It's on MoxPod. You can see my cards on Stormfield. Look at my binder, I uploaded it to ManaTCG. Did you see that sick-ass Golos list? It's on DeckMox. I use CardLife to track my decks AND my life totals. You should download DragonCMD, it's so useful to track games!

We've seen people confused about what exactly is going away. Alchemy (the format) is going away. Alchemy (the cards) are staying. Rebalanced cards will be reverted. Oracle of the Alpha stays. You can play it in Historic/Timeless. Rebalanced 0/3 A-Symmetry Sage is reverting to 0/2 Symmetry Sage.

Arena is sunsetting the Alchemy format. On September 22nd, the Arena client will revert all Rebalanced cards to their normal versions. On February 2nd 2027, it will drop support for the Alchemy format entirely. magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-... Here's how Scryfall's handling the Alchemy sunset. 🧵

Scryfall is redefining what a card being "full-art" means in search, and adding a new term: Translucent. Since the introduction of the is:default and is:atypical designations, one issue has surfaced from their definitions: cards with translucent frames (Eldrazis) were not showing up as "default". 🧵

Sneak peek at the concept doc for the translucent tag, which believe it or not was a spreadsheet

It was even worse than this; Married women were often referred to not simply as “Mrs. [husband’s last name]” but as “Mrs. [husband’s first AND last name].” Both the title “Ms.” and the magazine were seismic.

Hi all! I've received many questions about the Zeta cards previewed today and their common rarity. These cards listed from SLZ (such as Baleful Strix, but there are more) will not change Pauper legality. Secret Lair reprints are not meant to impact Pauper. Thanks! #wotcstaff

Did you know that if you create a page on @mtg.wiki for a player who is popular with people on Bluesky that heaps of people will share it and that will build awareness and even might lead to new people who want to start writing about Pro Players creating wiki accounts to do that? Cool, right?

Okay here is my problem with this kind of design. It means nothing on its own. It only has ludo-narrative value as a reference to something else. It is empty in and of itself. It forgoes its own story in exchange for a weak icon or index of another story that cannot stand up on its own.

Vintage Magic the Gathering art! What a surprise to learn that an unpublished oldie for Magic finally gets a release! There are a couple more in their archive that have yet to see the light of day, so you never know.🤞

I’m so eternally grateful and humbled that Wizards of the Coast invited me to preview this very special card I opened at the Mystery Booster 3 event #thankswizards #freepreview #nambassador

This is the best stage entrance by anyone, ever. I was not prepared.

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

My favorite detail about Major Kusanagi is that despite looking like a normal person she’s extremely dense so whenever she lands it’s like dropping a bowling ball made of lead off a building.

Thanks to art director Anh Nguyen, I could be part of the Secret Lair X Global Fund for Women "Their Magic is Limitless", and proudly illustrate "Lathril, Blade of the Elves" . 50% of the product price will be donated to Global Fund for Women. #mtg

Safe to say if I start messaging you on discord asking you to download my game, I'm not the one doing that. I actually do make video games! I will not message you about playing them. If I do, you should make me bend over backwards to prove it's me. Nobody's above falling for a scam or a hack.

If you've gotten a discord phishing attempt from my old account (alkalters, purple face profile pic) please report the attempt to discord. It's gross feeling like someone is doing this under my name, and I'd rather lose the account permanently then have it hurt people. discord.com/safety/36004...

Did you know: The Monkey subtype disappeared from the game for over a decade? From 2005 to 2016, the subtype Ape encompassed all monkey and ape species (except humans). Cards from this period which depict monkeys now have updated subtypes in Oracle—with one exception. mtg.wiki/page/Monkey

In case you're as dumb as me: If you want to play a creature and activate the Power-up in the same turn, it costs the written Power-up cost (total). You do not have to cast the creature, subtract the mana value and then pay the rest. The way I was doing the MATH. 🤦🤦🤦
