Big election day news in the United States this week, as American voters saw governorships change hands, props get approved, and all manner of local matters were voted yea or nay. It’s our civic duty to use our voices and our ballots, so tell me: what proposal would you put forward for Magic?

Wizards of the Coast has revealed a new Secret Lair drop: Secret Lair Countdown Kit: An Encyclopedia of Magic. This is as good of an excuse as any to reprint 26 cards that don’t have a home anywhere else, so it got me thinking: what other types of reference books should Magic turn into Secret Lairs?

Now, obviously T1 is a LoL company, so tell me: if you were giving an award in gaming for the last decade who would you like to see honored?

Baldur's Gate 3 turned two years old this week, just a few weeks after we finished up our year long BG3 campaign. The headliner news is that since the introduction of mod support in September 2024, fans have uploaded over 8,500 mods and hit 265 million mod downloads… of which over 248,000 were for the “Withers Big Naturals” mod, which you can search up in your own time. So that got me thinking: if you could mod Baldur’s Gate in any way, what would you do?
