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?

https://baldursgate3.game/news/community-update-35-baldur-s-gate-3-turns-two_143

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?

The One Piece Card game is coming out with the Sound Loader, a new accessory that will play sound effects for you as you play your cards. That's… something, so tell me: what sound effects are you looking forward to using when you pick up your Sound Loader?

"One Piece has delayed the debut of its Fish-Man Island remaster thanks to the Major League Baseball World Series," is a sentence that exists now. Baseball is already a huge sport in Japan, but there's added interest in this year's World Series due to the fact that it features Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani. So tell me: what celebrity news could delay Magic events?

This week (thanks to BWheelerMTG) the popular sports media personality Stephen A. Smith responded to a Tweet asking him whether he'd pick a Black Lotus or a Sol Ring first in a Vintage Cube draft, and Stephen A. responded wonderfully just based on how epic the original fiery ring's art was. So tell me: what's something you know nothing about but you're first-picking based solely on vibes?

While the Regional Championship did draw the sharks and the grinders, it also drew a few real estate investors. Specifically, one player registered 2 billion card decks containing nothing… but basic lands. Now, that's a fun little joke and the player did not in fact bring 2 billion cards to the RCQ but it begs the question: what's the most Magic cards you've ever seen in one place?

The Finisher

The 50th season of SNL kicked off last week, the 47th season of Survivor kicked off not too long ago too. The 36th season of The Simpsons also debuted last week, and it was a "season finale" parody that lampooned classic finales of years past. These are some crazy long streaks, but they pale in comparison to Magic's 100-plus premier sets, so tell me: if Magic were to be releasing their last set ever, what would you hope was in it?

The Finisher

Reddit user its-summer-somewhere went semi-viral this month when they pointed out a 19-card combo that goes infinite… but only if the famous unproven Twin Primes Conjecture turns out to be true. The post, put up on the aptly named BadMtGCombos subreddit, outlines how using the new 3-drop Zimone and a convoluted combo can win you the game based on a mathematical theory. So tell me: what famed adage, razor, or theory are you hoping to use for your next deck build?

US track and field stars Noah Lyles and Joe Fahn were spotted geeking out at the Olympic Trials earlier this week, and Lyles even stepped up his nerd street cred, bringing both Blue Eyes White Dragon and all five pieces of Exodia to his race. So what cards would you bring to your Olympic try-outs to get the right vibes?

This past week was Memorial Day in the US, which is traditionally the first day of summer for movie releases. This past weekend, however, was the worst for movie ticket sales since 1995, with Mad Max Furiosa barely beating the Garfield Movie in sales. It's been a weird period for Hollywood recently, so tell me: what is your pitch for how to save the pictures?

With Unfinity finally leaving Legacy, Vintage, and Pauper, that means Stickers and Attractions are on their way out of the public consciousness. Which is ultimately good, but it does mean the comedic goldmine that is "Mind" sticker plus [Blank] Goblin is on its way to a farm up north. Everybody loves a good Mind Goblin joke, so tell me: what is your hope for a future low-hanging fruit punch line on a magic card?
