It's been black-border at least since the Judgment Wish cycle (2002), and they do a new card with a "tutor from outside the game" effect every few years (Karn, the Great Creator; cards with the Learn mechanic; etc).

According to Hoyle this means cards from your sideboard (so doesn't work in EDH)

I mean, they ARE pushing UB harder than in-universe. I don't think that's actually a question.

#FanartFriday -- #fanart of the #Urza lands from #MtG!

#krita #digitalart #digitalalters

A digital painting of looking up at the underneath of an incomprehensibly large machine. From the center, a beam of magenta energy blasts vertically down, illuminating the chamber surrounding it. Two very tiny figures walk across a catwalk spanning the chamber, coming far too close to the energy beam.

A vast cavern, being dug out from the inside by fantastical machinery, is lit only by the lights from that machinery. In the extreme forefront, a conveyor brings massive stones to a conveyor in the middle distance, which in turn leads to a massive grinder. Just beyond the second conveyor, a drill construction burrows out the bedrock underneath it, filling the chamber with dust. The mine extends very far into the background, to the point that the lights are no more than pinpoints.

Looking down at a tower that reaches up past the clouds and a flock of birds (who look tiny as they fly past what isn't quite halfway up the tower). In the extreme background, we can see the mountains the tower is built into, absolutely dwarfed by the tower. The tower is large enough that the topmost portion appears to contain several large buildings of its own.

Urza's Power Plant, Urza's Mine, and Urza's Tower from Magic: the Gathering, using the fanart in this post. The flavor text added to Urza's Power Plant: "Escalation is in the nature of both dictators and wars." The flavor text added to Urza's Mine: "Exploitation is in the nature of both autocracies and economies." The flavor text added to Urza's Tower: "Oversight is in the nature of both commanders and innovators."

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

They definitely helped put you in a mindset for a story that was more wild and bonkers than most of Marvel's non-cape fare back in those days. (And probably any of the capes, too.)

Changing the names would have changed the whole tenor of the comic and it wouldn't work as well

the most annoying thing about the push for digital-only media is that we live in an era of unprecedented flash memory advancement

like we could be buying entire TV shows on cute little cartridges for palm-sized players hooked up to ur stupid huge TV
