(Note on AI imagery and apology below)

In my previous Magic the Gathering video, I challenged the writers in my audience to try out some flavor text writing. Some wrote original pieces, and asked for a critique - so here we are!

Also, as a little surprise, I crafted some custom cards for each of the flavor texts ;)

Haven't watched the previous video? Here it is!

Let me know if you'd like another challenge like that :)

Evidently, I do not own Magic the Gathering or Phyrexia, Wizards of the Coast (a company owned by Hasbro) does:

All the cards you saw in this video with the custom flavor texts I critiqued are fan-made. They're not for sale. They'll never be for sale. Those cards are just fanart, they're not official Wizards of the Coast products.

Note on AI imagery:

Some images in this video were generated through midjourney at a time I was still experimenting with it and forming my opinion on AI imagery in general. Since this video, I have accumulated enough information and my opinion solidified: in its current state, AI is based on theft. I will not be using it any longer (and have not been using it for an year at the time of this writing).

And I'm very sorry for having using it here. I hope you forgive this act of ignorance, and not treat it as an act of informed harm. I had to learn, and I learned.

My full opinion and stance can be found here:    • Post
