In today’s special minisode of the Timeshapers Podcast, we reveal Fission Bloom – a logos artifact with some interesting potential and beautiful art. Listen in as we try...
My friend Kiivii got his hands on some MM decks and was kind enough to send it my way to spoil, so here it is, Purify! Sweetness, this cards looks like so much fun! First, it fits nicely with the new Sactum anti-mutant theme, And I love the art. The knight looks powerful and honorable, but the art also does a good job of...
Over the weekend of May 2nd, team KiP (Discord) ran Shadow Worlds day one, an online unofficial replacement for official worlds championship that has been postponed indefinitely due to COVID-19. First, I would like to thank KiP for providing me with an outlet for my own, and the community’s competitive desires over this global crisis. The previous tournaments ran by KiP have been chock...
At the Utrecht Grand Championship a friend approached me and asked me to write an article about my winning mentality. I have tried to sit down and write it for a while, but it was not until the Santumonius Invitational – Glorius Few, that I finally understood the missing piece: Losing mentality.
