Dogs are not people. You heard it here first!

Unfinity Set Praise

New 12 Oct 2022 Asked by moonsliceman 23 Comments

Played some Unfinity twice the last few days. Absolutely blown away by how fun the set is, and I was following the spoilers! Even my friends who weren't playing the game had fun with all the "Hey dude, you're great, just stay sitting *right there*" "No no, isn't the couch downstairs comfortable?" going on with Gobsmacked, along with the other outside the game cards. As soon as my friends understood what I was doing with Head in the Game, they took a smoke break while I sat there with my head on the battlefield. Devil K Nevil went into the next room over during a practice run. Great times!Our only small issue was the stickers; fun as can be on the first application, but ours wouldn't go back on the sheet. The Attractions more than made up for it, as they were way, way more fun than I had anticipated.Please distribute some big high fives from us! 10/10 set again, what a year this has been!


Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Gobsmacked Interference

New 09 Oct 2022 Asked by sexhaver 19 Comments

if my opponent drops Gobsmacked on one of my creatures, am I allowed to ask the person they choose to walk out of sight for a few seconds? what if I just ask them to get me a drink or grab something from the other room?


You can’t interfere with the person. They must act of their own accord.

Printing with Retro Frames

New 05 Mar 2022 Asked by damienx207 50 Comments

Hi Mark, loooooong time reader, first time questioner - and it's my birthday! I don't need trivia tho, just a question: as an old school player and someone who specifically collects cards with the original MTG frame, I was gobsmacked with excitement when I learned that WOTC had printed the first new sheets of cards for my collection in almost 20 years(!). Was there a position reception to those frames, and can I get a Maybe for y'all printing more cards with "retro" frames in the future?? TY!<3


The retro frames are basically popular with players who played at a time that those were the frames. Newer players who have no emotional association with them are much less of fans. I think it’s a very nostalgia driven thing.

Gaming Group Encounter

New 21 Sep 2019 Asked by atta-turk 36 Comments

Hey Mark! Something really exciting happened today. I was talking about gaming and DTW, and a coworker of mine said she and her husband are in a gaming group with David Pettey and Don Felice! I couldn't believe it, and then she said she'd have to invite me to one of their meet ups! I'm absolutely gobsmacked. Do you have any recommendations for questions I might not think to ask them if I actually get to meet them?


Both of them should have lots of cool stories they can tell you.
