Best MTG-related uses for your Patreon dollars.

A few months ago, I reevaluated where my Patreon money was going, and I'm looking to add one or two more. Do any of you give any money to MtG-related content creators? Right now, I've only got three:
MTG Nexus: this place is awesome you guys. @Feyd_Ruin and company have done an amazing job with Nexus, and not just the forums. Have you seen the cool resources on the home page, like the life pads, life tracker, or collection tracker? Nexus is dope and I hope it stays around forever.
Scryfall: the best card database and it's not even close. Scryfall is everything Gatherer should be and much, much more. I'd say their contribution to Magic in general is woefully underappreciated. But I appreciate it, dammit.
Tolarian Community College: just about everyone here knows the Professor. I think he's the best advocate for players we have right now. Most of all, he's honest and sincere. He doles out praise for WotC when they do things right or release killer product, and he holds their feet
to the fire when they mess up.
So that's where my money's going at the moment. I may increase what I'm giving to the existing ones. I used to donate the the Command Zone, but all of their content has become bloated, overproduced, self-congratulatory, and worst of all, boring. I've been digging what Mitch has been releasing with Commander's Quarters, but I haven't pulled the trigger.
What say you, Nexus? Are you donating to any MTG luminaries or content creators? Do you plan to if and when it becomes financially viable for you to do so? Got any thoughts on crowdfunding in general? Got any hot tips on creators that deserve my money? Let's hear it!
