@nntaleb I think you've been duped, that $400 is the price of the whole meal, not just a fancy apple.

I would pay more for a real apple than to this modern art driven crap.

@JonathanLittle same thing with a torn retina for me.. can I really sit on all of these cards?

My first thought? Not fear or death. I thought about my illiquid assets, like Magic: The Gathering cards. My heirs would struggle to get full value. It felt like my duty to sort it out. It’s strange. When mortality showed up, it wasn’t poetic. Just logistics.

I’m 40. I did everything right — gym 5x a week, clean meals. No symptoms. No warning. Then one sentence from a doctor shattered it all. What I learned changed how I live (and it might change you too): 🧵

@notevertweeting @Matthew49482433 @ShawnDTCG this is the easiest way to explain it, yet so hard to see

@Matthew49482433 @ShawnDTCG No, imagine rolling them one at a time. It doesn't matter what came up on the first die the last one will still make the total even or odd 50/50

Just had the head judge of the calling in Minneapolis tell me two dice odd even isn’t a 50/50 way of determining play draw after my opponent called a judge when I won the roll. Don’t think it was malicious on my opponents part. Ate the ruling but told him to please google it lmao

@CalebDMTG phrasing

Like it's an eight minute drive and with printing my ticket + security search I beat my gf getting home

Flying out of MSN is a little more expensive than a larger city airport but being able to leave the house an hour before my flight with plenty of time to get my cards searched and buy snacks is pret-ty good

Finally caught TSG

@CalebDMTG should be as salty as the sea

Reminder that a "pinch of salt" in your pasta water does functionally nothing. Might as well have "pray to Cthulu" on the instructions It doesn't make the water boil noticeably better or faster for pasta, and it's way too small of an amount to be relevant for seasoning

Bringer of the Last Gift is very fun. Ran a UB deck earlier this week and milled a ton of cards into Living End.

@ToaMichael More real, they have corners cut and are on finished cardstock. CE/ICE has an unfinished cardstock. I would have also said that they were sold in boosters, but Secret Lairs are also so by Wizards, so CE no longer has an odd distribution method.

Bought a graded 30A Black Lotus - 10k OBO. Is it more or less real than the ones below it?

@swbmtg "Almost decked my opponent" -- with painter sounds like you lost that game.

2-0-1 at Friday night’s #legacy event with Painter! First game of the night pulled off the natural turn 3 win. Last game of the night went so long we both almost decked. Great times! 2-0 mono black initiative 2-1 Yorion Beans 1-1-1 Jeskai control

@BoshNRoll it just seems that battle of wits was the worst card in the deck most games

Did you know that if you're cascading into a specific mana value, it doesn't matter how many cards are in your deck? Today we break the dial off at 11. #MTGLegacy (Link in comments)

@DevotedDruid nice, gl!

@MTGKoby nice.

@swbmtg three creatures with banding in that pack

In round 2 Sonny played Worldgorger combo, but you wouldn't know it from how bad I whooped him. He pulled not one but TWO creatures with Banding

We gathered in Nashville to play the Classic format (essentially 2003 vintage) last night! I still had Fifth Edition packs to hand out, here's how it went:

@piercerman @MissouriMTG the problem is that I am willing to play with a lot of garbage

Buying a set of Arabian from the same customer today and another set of Arabian Friday. Collectors have had enough

@CubicleApril no, but it feels like it

do you test in production?

@PleasantKenobi @StanleyGibbons @baldwinsTCG nit-pick: the original artist proofs were done at the time of the beta print run / plates.

This is the MOST EXPENSIVE item by weight in the world. Visiting @StanleyGibbons and @baldwinsTCG and got to see the world's most expensive stamp. Oh, and there is a Christopher Rush Black Lotus Alpha Artist Print here too. 👀👀👀

@Apellosine @TCGView @MissouriMTG @Wizards @wizards_magic Jesper needs to go and talk to whomever was the Art Director in 1995. Are his grievances with him.

@TCGView @MissouriMTG @Wizards @wizards_magic I dunno, why is it now an issue instead of in 1995 where the copywrite symbol was also not with the artist name on the 4th edition version of Goblin King that used the same art?

@CubicleApril Same thing -- issues with single family zoning making housing unaffordable. Thought it was odd to be a coincidence twitter.com/SMenendian/sta…

@prt319 I have not, what’s it about?

I don’t know how we fix the obsession with single family housing, but maybe we should start by bombarding city officials with images like this that show the net revenue per acre after infrastructure costs.

@JM_Weber @wizards_magic Malcolm, Prince of Mathematicians

@wizards_magic This had better be the face card of one of the commander decks!

Just 1 hour until the Magic at 30 panel with Jess Lanzillo, Mark Rosewater, Athena Froehlich & Ian Adams at #GenCon2023 to give you the inside scoop on what #MTG has planned! If you're not at GenCon, there will be a video which goes up on YouTube 2 hours from this post!
