It occurs to me that one reason artists summarily reject AI (and there are MANY reasons) is because artists are, by nature, people who move through the world at a different pace. We take time to notice light, colors bouncing off a flower petal, how someone moves, the angle of an eyebrow.

Every now and again working on Cubes leads me to thoughts like "Balduvian Trading Post is definitely too powerful for this environment" and I love that shit.

Finally got my hands on a Riding the Dilu Horse so I've been working on 30-50 Feral Hogs again and the bots on Cube Cobra basically refuse to put Razor Swines in their decks. I haven't made it fully impossible to win without them, but this deck sure as hell can't close.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

There is a certain kind of person that believes that, unless you are willing to drop everything you are doing and angrily debate the most trivial topics imaginable, you are doing something wrong, and I can't impress enough how much you should ignore those people.
You’re not beholden to respond to every rando that decides to challenge you on something just b/c they had or are having one bad experience. Some people on this app simply like being argumentative and confrontational for the sake of it (especially twitter/X refugees) and nobody is entertaining that.

Managed to talk about 30 cards in just under an hour for part two of my Avatar Cube review! I pushed myself to feature a wide range of different kinds of designs for different environments- curious to see how it lands!

"To them, burning a house is a crime, while shooting a Yankee soldier in the eye is just part of war’s rich tapestry. So their horror of messing with private property joins their sense of emasculation, and their total ignorance of what war on one’s home ground actually means."

I got into Yu-Gi-Oh! first through the anime- the concept of a world where everyone played the same game was so cool to me as a nerdy and lonely teenager. The friends who played Yu-Gi-Oh! with me played Magic first, and thankfully they nudged us in that direction.

A lot of the focus in Universes Beyond sets is on giving mechanically satisfying main characters, but these simple building blocks are cool and important, too. This card communicates so much! Without any rules text, you get a feel for the Fire Nation being full of sycophant freaks.
The issue that I have with this Jumpstart release is that I was so happy to see this card previewed, but that was because I thought it was in the main set. Vanilla creatures are so nice for setting the tone of the world, and I miss when they were just in sets.

7-2 with one of the most stubbornly Mono-Red decks I've ever drafted. Played some really weird games where my opponents had awkward decks/draws, too. Never cast Cori-Steel Cutter into Trumpeting Carnosaur on the same turn before tonight, nor would I have predicted having 8 mana with this deck!
