I do so love riding monorails with my multi-ton load of lost pens, heart medication, precious metals, and a tiny man that indulges my fixation with throwing things.

It's how I interpret Auteur Theory. It isn't that one person is so incredible and creative that their works always reflect their brilliance, it's people who are extremely talented at gathering other artists that understand and mesh well with that vision.
Kojima's one of the best at it.

It's no trouble at all! Making decks in Magic's a lot of fun but takes a while to get a feel for! I hope you enjoy yourself!

Green's very, very good for starting out! It's very straightforward, hit hard and fuel it with mana.
Try to experiment with mixing it with other colors! The straightforwardness gets complicated yet accentuates the other colors' strategies!

I'll also say mine's not competitive, I have zero clue what's in Standard/Modern rotation now so there's probably some great options I don't know about.

Finally, your biggest weakness is being outpaced by players going wide. Most of your spells only target one creature and without trample or asymetric boardwipes it's hard to truly counter that.
Fire Magic helps a ton but it kills your own guys, so I run a tiny amount and use Beseech/Diabolic.

Beseech the Mirror and Diabolic intent can help you stabalize. Both require sacrificing something, a token for one and a creature for the other, yet their cost isn't so bad it would delay you in the endgame. Beseech especially can serve as a Kuja searcher, popping him out even if youve not drawn him

Brahne isn't a Wizard so doesn't benefit from Kuja's buff, but her Prowess and ability to further increase the number of Mages you control make her surprisingly strong. Yet she's not your endgame, she's bait for removal.

That's the deck I'm running currently! Some highlights:
BM's Rod makes a hero that gains the BM token's ability, but it counts as an Artifact! Playing it procs the effects and lets you pass the effect to Kuja/Brahne later.

BR ends up being an odd kind of Midrange deck, balancing aggression with aggressive control. Each threat that comes up you burn or kill, in the process dealing damage with your Black Mages and potentially creating more. Keep a relatively low CMC curve for your deck, 4 or 5 should be the highest.

Wanna know what's utterly, miserably depressing?
Most of them don't know those countries are Socialist. The ones that do? They downplay every achievement Socialists make and say that they're much worse than they really are.
It's so dumb.

It was so successful a propoganda that that violence and suffering immediately comes to mind for those generations. It'll take people like Mamdani having provably positive effects on the world to chip away at that perception.

as something to be feared. The negative effects of failed, cruel regimes that only wore the monikers of the ideology were emphasized over the ideology itself, supplanting the positive aspects of it in the public eye.

The way it was explained to me is that for decades, even well past the Red Scare, words like "Communist" and "Socialist" were connected with reports coming out of the USSR and China of millions upon millions of deaths. It was hammered home so many times in propoganda that it solidified those words

It's beautifully done. It feels so human, so casual yet personal. You made something truly wonderful, oystr.

Neopets really was out here teaching kids a simplified version of how to run a business, trade stocks, and cheat at cards, huh?
