I always am thinking about questions like "how has the opening of the Omenpaths affected culinary practices across the multiverse?" or "As one of the dominant political forces how has Ravnican coffee been adopted by other planes?"

EXCLUSIVE: "Karn is real" Warns Rosewater | Commander's Herald SEATTLE, Wash. β€” Commander’s Herald scooped an unexpected piece of exclusive news while attending Seattle FlannelCon LXIX this past weekend to cover the public reveal of Secret Lair: Regular-Ass Shirt...

β€œHe’s been living in my garage since shortly after we shipped Dominaria in 2018, and he’s nothing like how we portray him in Magic’s story.”

My first article for @commanders-herald.bsky.social is up, in which I report a shocking piece of news* about one of Magic's most beloved classic characters. Give it a read!

Reading @seananmcguire.bsky.social's Omens of Chaos and being struck by how much planar world building she is giving us here, stuff that the lore fan in me has been desperately craving for ages.

The question I have is it a two Ral moment like two Liliana or is Ral replaced with Ral? Izzet Ral would be fascinated by these alternate versions showing up until he learns it is Jace's fault then he would be pissed

A painting of a new Fyndhorn Elves Magic: The Gathering card. Two elves, a dark skinned woman in green robes and pale skinned male in green armor, are performing a magic spell in a forest. Vines that blossom with flowers spiral in towards the elves' hands as they cast their spell.

The same illustration as previous, but as a textless Magic: the Gathering Card, with a border labeling it as Fyndhorn Elves.

I had the honor of painting the 2026 Commandfest Promo version of the Fyndhorn Elves card! I will be at Commandfest in Tacoma, WA in July if you want yours signed! :) (and tentatively one other location but I'm waiting for official confirmation).

Was very excited today at my LGS as I found a really good Flying Men that I somehow completely missed for my Sita Varma deck! So nice little upgrade there!

Mysterio Tsons sounds glorious!! 😲

Snowy base will look cool, nice juxtaposition to the oily mechanical elements.

Finding forgeworld colour schemes can be hard, I was trying to find the look for Forgeworld Mezoa for a Kill Team because I liked their Heresy lore but could not find colour scheme

Do you have a specific Forge World you want to base them on if you did Dark Admech? Thousand Sons blue would look nice on forgefiends

β€œUnfortunately for all of you, your Reality is about to be Fractured,” said White Liliana as Orzhov Ral Zarek sexily stood next to her.

Loot fell to his knees, despondent. What could he do? Nobody in the multiverse could face this threat…

β€œPerhaps I could be of assistance?” a voice said. When Loot turned around, there stood Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise. There was a brief pause so everyone in the audience could applaud.

Jilesa, an eager young reporter for the Strixhaven Star, must interview Professor Zarek for a tedious puff piece. But when he asks her to help him with a secret project, she'll have to decide if she's willing to risk her life in search of a scoop.

To commemorate International Women's Day I interviewed some great women from the Mexican community. Even if you don't speak Spanish I highly recommend looking at their pics to get to know them better!

Finally with the appearance of omenpaths after the Phyrexian Invasion the Fomori colony ship was discovered and mistaken as a vault to be cracked. Inside the Fomori "vault" we see all the tools necessary for colonization, as well as the remains of the Oltec and the heir to the empire in stasis.

With the fall of the Fomori empire the Makindi lost their otherworldly support and slowly their empire collapsed, the last skyclave in Sejiri ironically being destroyed by the arrival of Emrakul on the plane.

They initially ask the Oltec for refuge but soon make attempts at colonization, likely to rebuild their fallen empire. After years of conflict the Oltec were able to expel the invaders, possibly infiltrating the main colony ship and sending it to a barren plane where it laid dormant
