Brain Dead has a Secret Lair set dropping today in San Diego at Good Faith Gallery. I worked with them on getting the set graded ahead of time for display purposes at the event. The tournament winner along with the 2nd and 3rd place runners up will get a slab from the graded set. We added the Brain Dead name to the flip, which is unique because Secret Lair sets generally do not have the collaborator added to the PSA label. Super fun set and I can't wait to get my hands on some for myself!

Over the past few weeks, Magic the Gathering's next upcoming card set Modern Horizons 3, has been spoiled by leakers. Leaks, of course, ruin surprises for enfranchised players... and have also plagued the card game since its creation 25+ years ago. I mean, Magic players just LOVE new cards, official release schedule be damned. Today, Wizards of the Coast ––Magic's publishers––responded to the leaks by showing official pictures of the upcoming cards. There are some WILD designs and I'm so excited (Especially all the Eldrazi stuff).

Alison Luhrs returns to Magic the Gathering

In September 2017, my favorite writer Alison Luhrs penned an episode for the Magic Mothership––the episodic story series that accompanies the cards of Magic the Gathering––that changed the writing of Magic forever. This standalone chapter, titled "Jace, Alone," followed the game's most famous character, a wizard named Jace Beleren, awakening on an island with no memory of his past. The chapter was different than all the others because it was really really good. Magic's writing has always been a little cheesy and ridiculous, but this fresh storyline, Jace's reinvention, elevated the narrative depth of one of the game's most iconic characters from a simple hero to a more complex figure. And Alison was hailed as brilliant. In September 2022, Luhrs famously left Magic the Gathering over creative differences and all of Magic was worse off for it.
That is why I was so excited when I opened up my phone this morning to see that the weekly story had been published and it was titled "Bring the End. By Alison Lurhs." It blew my mind. It was especially cool following last week's crazy reveal that another character Ashiok, had been Jace (Alison's charachter) in disguise for over six months! Sorry. Spoilers. And now Alison was back to write another Jace story over a year and a half later.

Collecting Magic the Gathering has always been so special because of the lore that accompanies it. It's not just cards, when you play the game you reenact big story moments. And those in-game moments hit less hard if the story's bad. Alison Lurhs I'm so happy to have your writing back. You made my day.

Was gifted a pack of MTG cards from their Universes Beyond Fallout series. Based on a quick google search, it looks like The Master, Transcendent card is a strong pull!

If I wanted to learn about Magic- the collectibility, the gameplay, etc, what’s the best resource?
