My name is @Spice8Rack aka. The Person Whose Voice You're Reading This In and welcome to my channel! Here we talk about Magic: the Gathering lore, ludonarrative dissonance, and why politics matters in games. Stick around for a while, you might laugh/learn something/forget about Sarah.

Thank you to everyone who watched & left so many lovely comments under my latest video!

It was a good few months of work - both through some pretty tough & pretty wonderful periods of my life - & I really do appreciate you all for sitting through such a dense piece. Especially over the holidays!

To everyone who thanked me for giving you good arguments to use against your weird relatives over Christmas: I hope they were completely confused when you started talking about Omenpaths in the middle of your Wallerstienian diatribe xoxox

I've made a video about one of Magic's weirdest ever sets: Through the Omenpaths. youtu.be/LNGowvILFXo
What works, what really doesn't, and what does it say about culture & society? Watch to find out, & to confirm for yourself that I am not, in fact, dead!

Why does Magic always have to be so political?

Unionised workers at TCG Player are calling for emergency boycott action in light of eBay's escalating "intimidation of union members" & the abrupt closure of an authentication centre "in an attempt to evade its bargaining obligations and to keep the company non-union". This emergency action has been called "to demand that eBay keeps the Authentication Center open and keeps 200 unionized jobs in Syracuse".

More information can be found on the TCGUnion-CWA social media accounts, & this press release: cwa-union.org/news/releases/ebay-escalates-intimid…

Don't be a scab now. New video soon* btw.

*God I just finished the script it's actually still gonna be a minute sorry.

Lent my voice to my good pal ‪@tim-gaedke‬'s video on fan-made MTG formats! It's an interesting watch for anyone curious about the history & current relationship between this game system and us fans!
