- Reposted by stevenNissa! This is my third artist proof for Magic: The Gathering in Miniature III ( www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/10/anno... ). Painted in acrylics (pencil for scale) and, naturally, involving shinies (thus the second photo). 🎨 It's on the back of a Genesis Wave proof.

- lmaooooo! if 2008 steven saw this, he’d cringe at me, and then i’d say, “shhh, shhh - it’s okay 2008 steven. you can stop pretending you actually enjoy the fuckin’ dirty projectors or, like, iron and wine or whatever. just listen to what sounds nice and makes you feel happy.”
- this a pretty magical way to spend my fortieth birthday. good compensation for the indignity of turning forty. makes it all worth it 😊
- Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen: - Jimmy Eat World - Wilco - Radiohead - Le Sserafim - J-Hope I'm interested what this makes people think about me
- This is hard, cause 16 year old Me in 2001 would say Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory. 26 year old Me in 2011 would would cringe at that and say Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. 36 year old Me in 2021 doesn’t care all that much and would probably say IDK, Survivor by Destiny’s Child or something.
- Least surprising, lowest hanging fruit pick for me, but listen: this is peak Green card design - it supercharges your mana and creates large creatures with good keywords. Such a fun Magic card. This would probably be my favorite 5-drop even if portrayed a totally different character.
- naming your child “wiegraf” so they’ll be able to softlock every enemy they ever make
- you name your son “phantom train” and then the poor kid gets suplexed multiple times a day for his entire life
- You know, I pride myself on my MtG nonfiction essays (clunky, bloated, faux intellectual prose and all) because it's a deeply personal and creative outlet for me, but if I'm honest, I think this is probably my greatest contribution to the MtG fandom.
- Peak Magic fiction:
- my favorite boros land

- mixing up my fandoms on my magic blog i suppose, but this is maybe the funniest thing i’ve ever read in my entire life. i even like k-pop a good bit, but people who think like this need to be studied

- True!
- In between Hades II runs, I’ve been playing through the Final Fantasy Tactics Remake. I know a lot of people are complaining about it online, but I probably have a more tempered take. Here are some of my thoughts (thread):

- When I was at MagicCon this weekend with my Discord friends, this topic (getting incomprehensibly upset about UB and WotC's recent design choices) came up, and I remember saying to everyone at the table something along the lines of:

- post you from a different era(s)
- Found my best pal at MagicCon this weekend
- Hell yeah!
- After a difficult week at work (one where I came just a hair’s breadth away of getting fired at one of my jobs), I finally made it to Atlanta for MagicCon :)
