Friedrich Merz did pretty much the same. It's all just binding international law if we like the victim.

And once you fully commit your deck to it, it even enables infinite combos - think Archaomancer and Time Warp - just add one more cheap spell and you'll be taking all the turns. Or you target a Gilded Lotus and just keep casting card draw.

This card goes crazy with any enters/leaves triggers. With a tiny bit of build around, it's a very strong value engine. Imagine getting a repeated Spirited Companion on any counter or removal you cast. Also dodging any spot removal by casting a simple Opt or the likes.

I do this for cheap cards. I don't like getting coins for cards. Coins feel like nothing and I don't want to sell for nothing. I rather give cards away sometimes, but ideally I'll get cards for them.

Yeah, ditto. My main issue is that it's quite easy to get a commander pod going, but more of a hassle to get more than one other person for other formats, especially since fnm has become nothing but commander nights in my city.

I hate that this is still called "tech". It has nothing to do with technology, it's just crime via loopholes.

...and still, when we want to counteract this madness with some nice measured expropriation, everyone looks at us like we're Stalin reincarnate.

I mean, sure, don't drink so much sugar, that has other health issues. But why would the water in those not count?

Secondarily, yes. But primarily, the Orange or anyone associated with his 2020 campaign should not have been able to ever run for anything again.

Nothing but the utmost respect to the hard working teachers, but with the ridiculous legality of homeschool and constant defunding of everything, what are they gonna do?

I keep forgetting how bad their education seems to be, true. Probably on some degree of purpose,

As if they never heard how well the appeasement policies worked against Hitler.

They're usually not, considering they're basically anti-ramp. But in the right deck with both ways to replay the lands fast and maybe actually get some utility value - sure, might be worth it.

Initially I saw the cylinder, but pretty much immediately obviously also the dots...

Ja aber weißt du denn nicht, die Juden kontrollieren doch den Kapitalismus, deshalb ist jede Kritik an dem System immer antisemitisch!

And using it on Gideon or Elspeth is very flavorful and cool.

Wait, how little lands do other people run? Those are normal land counts, aren't they?

I consider the cutesyfication of characters like chopper a non-horny form of fan service and dislike it at a similar level as other fan service. This fan doesn't feel serviced.
Kureha has Esme Weatherwax vibes, kind of.

Hope she (and all like her) gets to visit her lord and saviour in his eternity sooner rather than later and leaves us in this mortal realm who don't believe in that divine tooth fairy alone to make things better.

He may not be good at it, but expressing thoughts publicly is all he does, that does kinda put him in our box, sadly.

One big difference between upright keyboarding and sleazy keytaring is that only one requires playing piano style chords. The other can technically do that, but is completely fine with you just pressing a few keys to make a cool random riff.

Not having the deckmaster logo kinda makes sense, but there should be something there. Card feels out of balance this way. I do actually like the first one quite a bit.

So they ARE dying out, but are still there for quite a while thanks to the older people's hate of change.

Ahhhh, yeah.
No, we do still have landlines in Germany, but it's mostly genx and up using them, and businesses. Pretty much everyone has a number since there's digital telephony integrated into all internet landline contracts, but most folks my age don't have a phone hooked up to that router.

Here in Germany they're still going strong. Automatic's slowly catching up, but I doubt those will fully take over before we finally go electric.
I'm very purposely doing my licence on manual, because that's what all my relatives have and what I'm probably getting if I buy a used car.

To be fair, the whole "they ask the answers and you have to give the question" schtick is pretty moot when the "questions" are always just "what is [[answer]]".

That has been the case at least since True-Name Nemesis. Protection from a player means protection from everything that has their name on it, basically.

It's a relic from being the "judge's Format". Of course they played according to tournament rules, so no "play as printed with any card", but then the format just doesn't have a sideboard... And it never got updated.

Sadly not, no. In our election, all the worst parties gained a lot.

They keep doing this. Zombify everything that's good and pure, just for pun/reference value: Wight of the Reliquary for example, or the Sun Titan Animate Dead.

That dragon is the closest I've seen to the platonic ideal of "irrelevant in high powered environments but completely unfair in casual"

I'd be okay with computers doing pretty much anything, as long as people aren't depending on jobs... Let the machines do work and let everyone reap the benefits, not just a few pile them up. Then I don't care

Ludd was right.
Technology should be about improving life for humanity, not about increasing profits for a few while making everyone else's life worse. And if it's doing the latter, resistance is good and right, no matter how much the owners dragged his name.
