This Thursday in these United States of America, we celebrate the time in history that we Americans like to think we very nicely asked the Native Americans to have a delicious Butterball turkey and stuffing dinner with the Pilgrims.

Given the opportunity, which celebrity would you like to see cast some spells?

Gender pronouns in Magic: https://www.reddit.com/r/spikes/comments/3sad00/mod_post_gender_inclusiveness_and_foresight_on/

The Finisher:

Over the weekend, Paulo Vitor Dance Dance Revolution made a tweet discussion the possibility of playing a Pithing Needle naming Abandon Hope in an unlosable game... for the trolls.

Recently on Mark Rosewater’s Tumblr Blogatog, he was asked, in so many words, if a return to Kamigawa was a done deal.
