Hey Mark! Great job on Theros, it's one of my favorite places and I'm so glad we're back. I'm sure you've been asked this but in either of the Theros blocks did anyone come up with a card that puts 300 soldier tokens on the battlefield? Thanks again Mark!

We joked about it in original Theros.

Ooh ooh! Call it Endless Phalanx!

Every time I hear Mandalorian, I think of this. Am I the only one? Yeah.

[qaantar]

This…. is incredible! The Galarian form of Wheezing!

[qaantar]

Now with an even better capture of it...

Odds & Ends: War of the Spark

Mark opens his mailbag to answer reader questions about the design of War of the Spark.

It’s my War of the Spark mailbag column.

It's been highlighted that Ral and Tomik wear wrist-scarves from each other -- but has it been pointed out that the color of those bands are the color that each lacks but is present in their partner (i.e., Ral wears white, and Tomik wears red (although his card is mono-white, he's clearly Azorius))? Sort of like they're 'jeskai' together? (:

I’m always down for some good “between the lines” analysis, but Tomik belongs to the Orzhov guild.

[qaantar]

Oh wow, my bad, thanks for the info! I would not have guessed from the art and the flavor text. So much for the wrist-scarf theory!

[qaantar]

Did anybody do this yet?

Who's the cutest berry-juice producing Pokemon? This one!

[skylightdreams]

where has this been all my life??

[findinghealthyhappiness]

this is how you get tea to not be bitter. I didn’t like green tea until I learned not to brew it with boiling water.

[dan-panda]

my brother is obsessed with tea and gets really mad and lectures you if you dont brew it right … yikes

[squirrellygirlart]

[lady-feral]

I had no idea.

[transgirlpinup]

Game changer.

If you have a really high end green tea, even delicate Japanese greens, you can flash steep (think water on an then immediately remove the leaves or pour it out of the teapot) the tea at very hot water (usually I go for 195F) and it is immensely sweet Whole leave white tea can be steeped at high temperatures as well, and aged teas can be boiled like a soup for a thick and sugary sweet tea.  Really this is the barest of guidelines, if you go to loose leaf (specifically large full leaves and not broken leaves or dusty bits) you can do so much more with tea. And each tea has its own unique way it likes to be treated, though when you get the good stuff you can be pretty flexible. (Plus you can re-steep the leaves a bunch of times making them cheaper than bags in the long run)  Tea is one of the most varied drinks I have ever encountered, there is a reason several cultures have whole art forms and ceremonies dedicated to it. 

[qaantar]

Agreed... made me wonder if this picture was also optimized for bagged/crushed tea.

[dasebeleren]

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[qaantar]

Good luck! Mine came on Monday, got a Goryo’s Vengeance!

October,

IT’S HERE!

What it’s like experiencing the beginning of fall on tumblr. 

[qaantar]

Yaaaaay!

[loreleywrites]

A design so “Duh!” that I’m amazed it hasn’t been done before. Unofficial translation:

Creature - Elemental

Convoke

[CARDNAME] enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it.

I like the visual callback/echo of Chord of Calling....!

Solid piece of removal with a stunning color palette! (Source)

I didn't have a crush on you before, but then you said you would share leftover mac and cheese with people who asked, and now I'm head over heels for you.

I’m a pasta daddy now

And I’m done.
