"We cannot continue to recklessly support these conglomerates, allowing them to profit off of us without demanding something more than just their products in return" It's time for white people to demand Cracker Barrel subsidize our mortgages.

It's Shaka, he was going to denounce and attack you anyway :D

Obviously Venom is the new horror movie line of marvel movies.

My goal in game 1 is to see how many dark ages I can chain and still win. Unrelated, I definitely prefer managing 4-7 cities, over a sprawling empire, but you do what you need to do to win.

In order to prevent Black people from feeling uncomfortable about watching this movie with a white man in the audience, would it be reasonable to wear a bedsheet to the movies? I'd cut some holes in it to see out of, of course.

If I made a digital card game I'd program it to mana fuck people based on their user name. Specialty character? "xXx"? Time to drown in mountains, friendo.

I just assume the baby boomers are all retiring and now some 20something with a spotty beard who only knows how to push the big red "print button" is working the line.

And then the P2W cash shop 3 months after launch.

But if they delay Anthem aren't they worried about running up against Pantheon?!

But datamining's the way they'll keep us engaged for the year until the expansion comes out!

All the discussion online for the Great Design Search's multiple choice questions is fun. It's interesting to see so many different people's justifications for design thoughts. Test was pretty easy, only ~2 questions I'm iffy on currently. Which of course means I'll get like a 42 out of 75...

Survival Hunter still melee? There are some bets lost there.

Heh, preordered a couple cheap boxes from a brick and mortar. Turns out the employee who posted the preorder was a moron and sold twice as many boxes as they actually had on order. And then sold more in the physical store itself.

That's where the drugs come in.

If you aren't using 100% of the tournament round you aren't getting your money's worth yo!

I've got the EDH deck building addiction too. It's just fun seeing what you can pull together/make work using the full body of Magic cards. I've been sticking to one deck per color combo, mostly to rein in the cost of manabases.

This could turn it around for Vanguard.

7000 applicants for this year's Great Design Search, up from 1100 last time. I do not envy whoever's reading these essays, especially since they're all going to start "I've been playing Magic all my life and it's a huge part of everything I do!" with the writer actually believing their little...

He can't reveal his identity because he was secretly Brad McQuaid the whole time.

They have to level all the boars by hand.

Amusingly, when they revealed their testing decklists, they were basically just testing Block Constructed Theme Decks, not actually trying to break things. They wanted to make sure "mechanic X" worked in "its deck", not check to see whether mechanic x might be a horrific malignant tumor. The...

It's the magic the gathering circle of life. Whenever Design gets cocky, they produce an artifact set, and then follow it with a year of bans. It's not always the artifacts themselves, just the general "WE GOT DIS" mentality going into those blocks. Antiquities: Creation of Restricted. Urza's...

Banlist day: Standard: Attune with Aether and Rogue Refiner banned to kneecap 3+ color energy. Ramunap Ruins banned to take away free inevitable reach from RDW (Which should be fine, since Hazoret's still there for a ton of reach). Rampaging Ferocidon banned so that "going wide" and lifegain...

I remember playing a Warrior at launch and trying to get to that stupid fucking watch in the chest on one of the Westfall Farms, and because the servers were getting rekt they had the spawnrate for mobs cranked up. Took like 20 fucking minutes to get to the chest, since as soon as you'd managed...

Some of the Brazilian Stamp-Flips screw ups would make pretty fun "play as written" cards.

Won the midnight prerelease. Black Elder Dino is a ridiculous beating in sealed. Form of the Dinosaur is a super fun card. It's powerful, game shifting, but also has a risky element to it with your inability to say no. Won every game I played it in, but several of them ended with me at 2-3...

Making Magic Spaces Safer The question is, will Wizards pay, or will they pass the buck down to the locals to pay for (that's not a real question, the answer is obviously $150 Channel Fireball Grand Prix entry fees :D )

We had some proxied up RIX cards at EDH night last night. Elenda is a very fun Aristocrats engine. So many vampirelets, so, so many.

This is obviously the best part of MTG event coverage.

City of Brass, Forbidden Orchard, Forsaken City, Glimmervoid, Grand Coliseum, Rupture Spire, Transguild Promenade are the things it just turns into normal 5 color lands. Not something I'd ever build a deck around, but I've seen dirty, dirty budget EDH manabases in my day that would :D

And Lotus Vale already jumps to $45, lol. Scorched Ruins going up too. I doubt anything real comes out of it, since Blood Sun is a unique effect and the cards are too ungood on their own merits. But due to being reserved list, even when prices subside back, they're unlikely to go back down to $6.

Meh, will probably be in the FAQ one way or the other. Amused at commander players being pissy that the 3-Headed Hydra's Red Ability doesn't damage players. Oh no, you'll have to find a second card to turn your 900 mana off Zacama into a one-shot.

Nope. Lotus Vale/Scorched Ruin are replacement effects that occur too early in the play process for Blood Moon/Sun to see them. They were specifically worded the way they were in their gatherer updates to avoid the funkiness of their effects going off while they were in play. They don't...

Yep, just makes them colorless producing lands. It also turns any Cavern of Souls that come down after it into Wastes.

It's amusing how hard this fucks the best lands in the game (Fetch Lands), but how much it boosts the worst lands in the game (Budget ETB lands). Karoos just straight up become double mana lands while this is out. Most of the 5 color lands become drawback free. Normally you say something's...

I like how in every video for this he repeatedly states "this is about saving the children not some personal vendetta," then every third paragraph of his script is bitterly bitching about his own kick. The Ricki Hayashi shit is fucked up though. Wife Beater who apparently likes getting into...

I know, 2 mana vampire lord too. If they had granted evasion I'd be worried someone on wotc dev team had died. Elenda is super underwhelming at first blush, but Aristocrats cards always are. If a functional aristocrats deck pops up in standard during her legality, she doubles your "fodder"...

If it was an 8/8 first striker it'd be a Mayael target too :/

Medium Verdant Force is a neat card. Khumena feels very designed for EDH. That 5 merfolk requirement on his +1/+1 counter ability is just... not tenable in normal constructed. It's cool that his abilities call back to the tap/untap theme merfolk had back in Lorwyn block though, so I'm on...

We're going to have so many many blacked out drunks dead of exposure new years day.
