Thinking about my birthday tomorrow, and age in general: one of my favorite tropes is "hollywood ages up the character into a hideous old crone, then in real life they age and look lovely."

Me: When I cast it, I like to say "I summon the Baha Men!"
@moxreuby.bsky.social: Which makes sense, because it costs 9 and there are 9 members of the Baha Men.
Me: Ah yes, as there are 3 Baha Elves and 7 Baha Dwarves.
Reuben: But they were all of them deceived, because another Baha was made...

I feel like the (possible) new hybrid mana rules for #MtG Commander are... fine?
It doesn't feel "more complicated," which seems to be the number one critique, only "not how I'm used to it."
I get the argument of variance/autoincludes, but in a casual format that's on us as deckbuilders.

![Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.
There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.
What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.
It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzlqyldh7nfc34pfffvd24ko/bafkreiap6asa64jdjb2vlv4c2sdritjrntsibvsv7baj6o4cgwcfgsjeny@jpeg)

the lesson of the kimmel thing is that a corporation that previously caved to trump was forced by its audience to defy him.
they're afraid of him but they're more afraid of you.

The word bank for New York Times Games has a dubious definition of "English."

I adore Spider-Man (Peter Parker). Easily my favorite superhero since 4th grade.
Here's my Magic the Gathering Spider-Man set breakdown:
· 30% cool villains that hit my nostalgia
· 20% memes
· 50% "What if Spider-Man was a moose?"

I'm looking forward to the Time, Reality, Space, and Power stones being just as insanely powerful... then the Mind Stone being 2 generic that taps for 1.
I'm curious to hear what y'all's opinion on The Soul Stone is.
Sure, Spider-Man can swing on a web, but which new cards can you count on to swing the outcome of your next Commander game?
This episode, we’re discussing the MOST POWERFUL CARDS for the 99 from Magic's latest set #MTGxSpiderman.
