Tumblr Thursday

~
Happy Thursday MTG peeps,

We here at MTG Realm were planning to do an article about post- Dragons of Tarkir updates to Orzhov (Black / White) Warriors and / or Jeskai Tokens, but then we got lazy and decided it was high time to get to another catch-up with what's been going on over at our sister blog, MTG Realm on Tumblr, so strap in and let's drive.

I just got a B-Day cupcake from Tumblr !


This was a great year.  Hopefully I’m alive for another on Tumblr.

Speaking of Tumblr Milestones and swagger, we wanted to know how popular (read - how many followers) the official Magic: the Gathering Tumblr blog had - they posted this coy and evasive message -

Magic: the Gathering - The Sort

Got a bunch of Dragons of Tarkir cards to sort.  


It is never a bad time sorting and organising and rather relaxing as I hit a tea, zen out and go into the avatar state.

Magic the Gathering - on the streetsVery kewl license plate bracket / holder for MTG fans.  Posted by Redditor SkaAce and subsequently about 15 or so put up on eBay which are selling like Doritos® outside of a Led Zep concert.  Waiting for WotC coporate ninja lawyers to hadouken this into oblivion for illegal use / infringement of intellectual property.Certainly is better than some of the cr@p up on MTG Merch.

MTG Tumblr Thursdays

Happy Thursday MTG peeps,

There are a few new Theros previews out today for those Magic: the Gathering spoiler-nutters but so far, a somewhat relatively slower day.  To this end, we think it an opportune moment to catch up with our sister site MTG Realm on Tumblr.  Do not fret - we still have faithfully updated our Theros Spoiler List page.  Anywhoos - let's have a looky-loo as to what the Tumblr machine has generated . . .

Magic: the Gathering - Chain Gang
I’m really digg’n this new exile sooo much, I’m inviting it to my post-rotation Boros party.  Anywhoos, solid art work by Aaron Miller who had just started commissions for WotC.
Also - from the illustration, I’m really ‘feeling’ the pain for that poor Theran - BUT - if Rorasch (of The Watchmen fame), has taught us anything, it is the power of positive thinking

Little-known fact -  We were a prisoner of Japanese employment for about 12 years!

We have a love of the culture and just about everything Japanese now.

Theros - Anger of the Gods
All of today’s Theros spoilers ‘n’ previews posted to the MTG Realm blog at : http://mtg-realm.blogspot.ca/2013/09/theros-spoiler-9-11.html
New card ‘Anger of the Gods’ supplied with amazingly epic art from the great Noah Bradley.  We could not help but to suggest a modification given less than ideal meteorological conditions.

Magic: the Gathering - Theros Minor Deities
Interesting new art in all likelihood for Theros by Peter Mohrbacher.  This was posted in the latest Uncharted Realms installment by Jenna Helland and may be the minor god ‘Pharika’.  This is what was hinted or mentioned so far -
Pharika: A deity worshipped during Setessa’s Winter Nexus observance.  This god may be associated with grief and old age as well as that of  potions and poisons.  It is said that Pharika had hidden a number of possible helpful cures within the blood of basilisks. Adherents send prayers to her on slips of paper placed within ceramic vessels and deposit these within bogs.

You may recall the time when you were a kid when you may have decided to make a new path to shortcut across a field with absolute disregard to the convenient path that already existed. You would tramp the grass down, and would wear through several pairs of sneakers by strategically dragging your feet on said new path for days. You then spoke with everyone you knew and begged them to use your new path.

Perhaps not - maybe it was just us.

Anyway, this is somewhat analogous to creating a new hashtag (#___ ) on Twitter. If you are a knuckl-dragger, let us explain. Hashtags help to organize the published updates ("tweets") on Twitter into user-defined groupings around one general topic, making the conversation easy to read and follow.

Recently, a discussion was struck up within the Magic the Gathering Community on Twitter regarding what one would name a restaurant or business using the bastardized name of a Magic card (If there were a Magic themed restaurant what kind of food would it serve? #mtg). Some very witty and waggish names were bandied about until our buddy Trick Jarrett of ManaNation decided to create a new hashtag . . . "#mtgbiz" (Alright, let's hash tag this craziness. Use #mtgbiz for Magic business names.)

Trick did not need to hold the grass down for long for the new path as it were. Soon everyone was partaking in a subject very near and dear to many mtg player's hearts - humour. Let's have a look . . .

The one we created and of course my fav . . .

It's November the 5th ! Happy Guy Fawkes Day !


It has been a long time since the Gunpowder plot went down back in 1605 but the the Yeomen of the Guard still searches the cellars of the Houses of Parliament before the annual State Opening . . . . w0w - talk about sensitive !

Remember, remember
the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
t'was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow . . .
