Me in every Magic game I've ever played
I did not even realize the one on the fence was also a pig, that makes sense
The vibe this game had has basically never been matched
This begs the question

What is the criteria for ordering creature types here? Why this order? Why not alphabetical? 🤔
Worth noting, the copy also has the ability to make copies, so as long as they aren't getting removed:

T1: play airship, sac something, now you have 2

T2: 2 airships, sac, copy each, now you have 4

T3: 4 airships, sac, copy each, now you have 8

Granted it's 4 turns after playing it, but still
....
That's not a hard requirement to do to get a copy of this. This could be sneaky good.
I have no desire to watch or listen to anyone's take on hybrid mana in commander because everyone is way too upset about it and it is so Not A Big Deal

The passion and "world is ending" rants behind something so ultimately trivial is extremely off-putting tbh, y'all need to chill

An actual ad I just saw

This can't even be AI, right? It has to have been done intentionally to make as little sense as possible... right?
Sidequest skills are so validating when you realize what you learned along the way of doing the main quest 🙌

Planning to play in the last local RCQ of the season this weekend, hoping to secure my first invite and say farewell (or "bye bitch") to Vivi.

I'm not entirely confident, but the last local 2-seater only had 8 people and at least 2 of them already had an invite, so maybe I'll luck out this time 🤷

i think the relentlessness has made the whole bit of transphobia really tiring for the average person. they see systems and structures failing them at every turn and then look to the news to see some ghoul wailing about "biological females" and it's like

hey man stop being weird i have bills
I don't know if it's just me, but I've gotten the sense recently that transphobia a political tool is already played out. Not only is it not a winner, but it really feels like the right overplayed their hand with anti-trans hate and people generally seem sick of it, sick of bulling running on hate.
As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.
Also, Greg Abbott saying he's going to tax people who move to TX from NY as a penalty is super funny, because the people who "threatened" to move are exactly the types he wants in Texas 😂
At no point was I ready for what the next word was going to be in this tweet

When you’re riding public transit you realize that what’s good for everybody is also good for you. If the bus runs faster, if the train is cleaner, if the AC works, we all benefit

when you’re driving a car, every other car on the road is your personal enemy
The Times parsed the vote using similar categories and again found that the single most determinative factor economic-like factor in the election was "commute by transit" vs "commute by car." It edged out renters vs. homeowners. There's still outstanding data but I expect these trends will hold.
I have two:

Something 5c to play all of the street fighter characters in a single deck. No plans of what goes it in beyond that, and they all have next to no synergy with one another

And Squall, because I have always been a fan of FF8 and his reanimation and double strike scratches my brain nicely

I love the flavor of a Black Sun’s Zenith reprint like this, but this bothers me a bit how similar the arts on two completely different cards are.

New in PN: Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts

"Nearly every time he appears before cameras to sell the GOP’s lies, he manages to unintentionally tell the truth. These admissions have advertised the fact the regime is intent on using the shutdown to torment vulnerable Americans."
Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts
The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.
