Not MLP related... But is this going to be a thing?! · 7:58pm Jun 3rd, 2019
So I checked out my Twitter and saw this post:
Something cool from the other wizards in the office... Great news,

I know I need to put out the next chapter to my new story soon. I'm part of the way finished, but I have more to go. I am not sure how I want to finish the story as it is about Lord Tirek's past. I want to tell the story of how he acquired his hunger for power.
I know you all are waiting for my next story.
I am writing a couple of stories now.
The one most likely to be published by me next is a crossover with characters from Magic The Gathering.
I am even crazy enough to attempt to create my own card block to go with it.
Spoiler alert.
I plan to include a romantic subplot with Twilight Sparkle and Jace Beleren.
Prompted by the amazing new charity promo set, I've designed some silver-bordered cards for the rest of the Mane 6, as well as Celestia. They should be most amusing:
Princess Celestia {4}{W}{W}
Legendary Creature – Alicorn
Flying
Activated abilities of artifacts can’t be activated.
{T}: Princess Celestia gives you some helpful advice. (Results may vary.)
She does nothing.
4/4
Applejack {4}(G}{G}
Legendary Creature – Pony
Friday Night Magic
In which son_of_heaven176 attends his first Friday Night Magic event, and has fun despite unfavorable match results.
Though I’ve been a nerd for almost forever, it’s only been relatively recently that I’ve gotten into Magic: The Gathering (MTG). My first exposure to MTG was joshscorcher’s Boros music video, featuring Sabaton’s “Gott Mit Uns”, but that was years ago.
Wizards of the Coast recently started releasing albums with each new Magic set, and by "recently," I mean the latest one is the second time they've done so. It's actually quite good. You can listen to the whole thing on YouTube here. But there's one track I want to highlight in particular, and it is for pony-related reasons.
This weekend, I decided to violate some long-held principles and see if they were worth upholding.
That’s right, I tried playing online Magic: the Gathering.
One of the most important concepts in storytelling is pacing.

Word of warning, this one's going to be silly and about card games.
The first story I have ever made was an MtG fic called Magic: The Gathering, Friendship is Magic -I think-. It was... rusty beyond belief but I had fun and over the years I completed it because I wanted to do something new with Jace... Well, seems I have to go back to my roots.
Yeah, I'm rewriting that fic, it's nice and all but I want to write Jace- or should I say, Lloyd- again. So keep an eye out for that story :3
Back in 1999, Magic: the Gathering tried to appeal to the Chinese market with an introductory set based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
I promise I'm going somewhere with this.
Random thought, but in a world where Duel Monsters is real...

(Ormendahl is an archdemon. His color scheme would go great with Sombra. And yes, there's a joke to be made about humans getting a special boost out of Equestrian magic.)
One last round of this for me. For now, anyway. This is a rather fun exercise after all.
Appropos of nothing, I thought I'd throw together some songs that give a basic sense of each guild of Ravnica. There is tangential pony content, but this is mostly card game-related fun. Feel free to offer some suggestions in the comments, and bear in mind that this not meant to be taken especially seriously.
I've had a series of Rarity moments lately. Inspiration struck me right between the eyes, and I got the ideas out as quickly as I could before they took their leave. Manufactured accents may or may not have been involved.
The end results are twofold: Expect an amusing story in short order and a special edition card blog right now.
Yup, this is still a thing. I do have two more planeswalkers to get through, after all. Let's begin with the mare who was red-white-black before Zurgo Helmsmasher made it cool.
Hoenstly can't tell you all how sorry I am, but you guys definitely deserve an explanation. So aside from the fact that, quite literally, I am only just now getting over being sick, I've also had work. Normally, that's not an issue, after all, you all know that I've maintained my writing schedule through work without problem before.
