So… hey guys. I’ve been waiting a long time for this. We’ve got a lot of catching up to do. My name is Ben Schnuck and I’m a magic artist (yes, you read that right)

The “we don’t listen to our constituents” party lost for reasons I’m trying to figure out

sorry just hearing now it’s actually <minority group>’s fault and [2020-Republican level election denialism]. I was really worried there for a second that we’d have to self reflect

The violent revenge fantasies directed towards people of color who were insufficiently pliant in the face of a genocide perpetrated by Democrats against their family members, and the dissonance that this will Suddenly Become Bad once Republicans are doing it, has already begun.
I'm sure the Palestinian kids who are going to be paved into a parking lot by February are super happy about this "big, fat L".

Knowing how seriously Wizards’ takes their NDA’s, keeping my #Preview card under wraps was dangerous. I managed to keep it secret after fighting off a few people, luckily I have the Twinblade Blessing #MTGFoundations #MTG @wizards_magic

@DimiccoDiana sending me my preview card like 'you are going to know why we gave you this one' Yes ma'am

Update on my Patreon. I'm so lucky to have been given this opportunity, I'm endlessly thankful but due to a myriad of factors I'm moving towards other opportunities and projects. Much love. Thank you for everything ❤️

I mention this in the update but I want to be clear that this was a decision I made BEFORE the Universes Beyond announcement.

Sam’s (@RhysticStudies) latest substack post is so poignant that it stings. This is a must read for any magic player. I agree with Sam 100% on this and I could only dream of being able to articulate it as masterfully as him. (I’ve included a link to the article below in a reply)

Didn’t expect to get so much hate for saying I didn’t like a SpongeBob secret lair lmao. I guess that’s where we’re at as a community.

Hey this - plus the fact that UB sets will now be legal in all formats - fucking sucks, I think this is going to be my breaking point. I don’t want to play fortnite the card game
Replying to @wizards_magic
In the next few years, Magic will have a balance between Magic Multiverse sets and Universes Beyond sets with #MTGFoundations as the consistent through line.

happy for those who enjoy UB but it just breaks my heart how the world I fell in love with is being pushed aside for reference slop. Money’s the cause at the end of the day and there’s nothing I can change about that but this really feels like a sign of the times.

Magic has been one of the greatest discoveries of my adult life, and led me to so many places. The art and worlds of this game are so inspiring, and I’m drawn to them because they’re so much more original than most of what’s out there in the fiction landscape. Sad to see that go

I know there's no way to stop it, but I'm sad that Magic is enshittifying into Fortnite: the Card Game. There's so much squandered potential with the IP, and the "not every product is for you" line is patronizing. Magic can be so much more than stale millennial male franchises.

If you’re in the DFW area in TX I’ll be at TCG-Nation in Corinth today at 3pm! I’ll have some tokens/mats with me and we’ll be playing pauper. I’m also bringing my cube 😈. Hope to see you there!
