@PlayMTG PLEASE make an emergency ban asap. this format is so broken and so lame at the same time. the few people that started playing standard recently are already going away again. please fix this now. don't wait that many months.

Top 8 play is live NOW for the final remaining players competing to claim the title of champion of #SpotlightPlanetary! Tune in! youtube.com/live/8tKXH4wVw…

@Dunkatog what's different now? did something change about what you do or how you do things?

I’ve been promoted at work! Starting next month I will no longer be the Magic Rules Manager at Wizards. Instead, I’ll be the Magic Rules Architect at Wizards. It sounds so much fancier! (“Manager” never really made much sense to me anyway.)

@ekszit Daumen sind gedrückt!

Decklist submitted for tomorrow. Standard seems really diverse at the moment. And yeah, there is a different between Mono R, RG and UR. Give my best for another day 2 and, hopefully, another Pro tour invite. Hopefully my matchup lottery will be on my side. It needs to be. 😇

@ekszit yessss let's gooo! wir sehen uns dann dort!

Good morning from Dortmund! Today I’m off to Bologna. Got my decks packed and I’m looking forward to another action-packed Magic weekend!

@OndrejStrasky Thank you Ondrej ❤️

My 2 cents on how to Interact with judges at Magic events. First off, don’t be afraid to call a judge. Most of my judge calls (~80%) are to clarify the oracle text of a foreign card or to ask a rules question, even when I’m about 90% sure I know how it works. On average, I call a judge every three rounds of Magic. Second, and perhaps most important: Please, and I beg you, don’t be one of those people who yell so loudly that everyone within hearing distance goes deaf. That’s obnoxious and I promise everyone hates you. Just raise your hand - the judge will eventually find you. Take time to gather your thoughts and note the time when you stopped playing. Also, having extra time to think about the board state never hurt anyone. When explaining the situation to a judge, be clear and concise. Above all, NEVER LIE, and never change your story. If you’re unsure, say “I’m not sure” or “I’m not confident.” Usually, one player explains the situation, and then the other does the same. I recommend not interrupting your opponent, even if you disagree with something. It creates confusion, which is not what you want. Try not to get upset if you think your opponent is lying or misrepresenting things. The truth usually comes out, and sometimes people just have a different perspective on the same situation. This happens in every area of life - ask my wife. Appeal often! I appeal every time I disagree with the floor judge or if they don’t seem totally confident. I’d say I appeal the majority of my non-oracle card text judge calls. Head judges are more experienced and, at least in the past, they used to have the ability to bend the rulebook and follow common sense. Don’t worry about offending the floor judge. Everyone’s goal is the same: to have a fair game played within the rules. Magic rules are complex, and we all make mistakes. Finally, when the judge call is done, ask for a time extension and thank the judge. Always be kind and polite. Judging is hard, and it’s not a job I would want to do. Unlike what I often read on this app, judges aren’t mean cops. They’re there to help the players, and they’re good people. Thank you, judges. 🙏 Let me know if I’ve missed anything ❤️

@kaibudde @OndrejStrasky @Flashjack711 Gute Besserung Kai 🫂

You know the MtG Wiki? The site with tons of useful information, but so many ads that you never really go there? Well, fear not, because our heroes @scryfall have arranged to host the wiki AD-FREE! The URL is dead simple to remember, too! It's...

@ekszit gute Besserung Denny!

Kurzes Statusupdate: Immer noch krank, aber hoffentlich zeitnah endlich wieder fit. Ist wirklich nervig, so kein Content machen zu können. 😵‍💫

I completely understand the business case for Modern Horizons, but I think from a game design and balance perspective, they are *literally* the worst thing that has ever happened to paper Magic because of the constant upward pressure they put on power level.

@blakepr why did you not ban Guide of Souls instead of raptor? Guide is the clearly more problematic card of them.

We are, as always, going to be on WeeklyMTG tomorrow to discuss today's bannings. Send me your questions! #wotcstaff

@ekszit LET'S GO

ONE TIME DEALER!

@CyberpunkPlato @mtg_ds @edhrec @17Lands it's not the Mana value that's alerted, it's the Mana cost of the spell.

@mtg_ds @edhrec @17Lands Unironically this. Putting markers to show that spells mana value can be altered is great

What is your 2024 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 ? Someone had to invent booster draft, and cube, and Commander. Someone had to develop @edhrec and @17lands, and come up with double faced cards... What's that thing from this year? Some nominees 👇, but tell me yours!

@kaddi_tv das ist okay Kaddi. wir alle haben so Phasen. 🫂

Falls ihr mich in der letzten Zeit angeschrieben habt und ich nicht geantwortet hab, tut mir leid. Ich bin grade zu nichts zu gebrauchen und krieg auch nichts auf die Reihe. Danke für eure Aufmerksamkeit ✌️
