To celebrate hitting 10,000 subscribers, I did something suitably ridiculous:
a live stream working my way through the entire Magic: The Gathering rules
iceberg.

## What the iceberg is

Someone on my Discord pointed me at a rules iceberg post on Reddit by
Siberian Rabbit (also known as Fabulous Mayor), and I knew immediately it had
to be done. The iceberg sorts Magic rulings into 13 layers, from the
approachable stuff near the surface down to the genuinely obscure. Some entries
are current rules, some are rulings that used to be true across Magic's 20-plus
year history and no longer are.

## The stream

This was a proper marathon, around two hours live, and it took a huge amount of
preparation beforehand. I spent roughly six hours on my first pass alone, and
Siberian Rabbit put in a mammoth effort of their own detailing every point.
Together we went layer by layer, from the friendly mnemonics at the top (things
that are technically incorrect but useful to learn by) all the way down into
the deep, weird rulings, taking questions from chat as we went.

## Why I made it

The rules iceberg is exactly my kind of Magic content: a celebration of the
strange, deep, and often forgotten corners of the rules, shared live with the
community that got me to 10,000 subscribers. Huge thanks to Siberian Rabbit for
the original post and for joining in, and to everyone who turned up in chat.
