Nothing will ever replicate the experience of learning about this card while watching your stream. The artwork. The effect. The name. The everything. They should've sent a poet.

Just remembered that a couple years ago when I'd out drinking and would get so fucked up I'd struggle to walk I'd just crawl up to a corner, close my eyes, and try and recite in order all the rules for layers to make sure I still remembered them.

do you think powerscaling is deeply entrenched in human nature? everytime I watch malcom in the middle clips on youtube shorts there's always someone trying to scale the kids

"family" and "traditional" values are the most passè dogwhistle in the world at this point, you gotta be pretty dull to buy in the ideas they sell and just scoff at the rethoric, and I have not seen a post about spirituality from an alleged leftist perspective that wasn't nakedly written by a snake

#mtgmoxtober Day 5 - Moon

Wasn't home all of yesterday but didn't have a good idea for the prompt anyway, if something comes to me I'll go back.

Making it cost 2 is extremely brazen, but I'm still not sold on it being too outrageous power level wise.

The obvious way to use it is trying to cheat something huge and scary, slot it in with your favorite selection of Ultimatums and do your thing, but I think it could also work as a value piece that lets you play some 4ish cmc roleplayer for free multiple times if you got some recursion by the side

Really phoned in the name this time. Miracle 0 looks really scary but I'm fairly sure it's fine, all things considered.

Hi, long time listener first time caller here. Since you are now tackling Nobilis, is there any chance that we could see a Chuubo video in the near-ish future? Like, before Y2K happens and civilization collapses?

They are doing the opposite bit as Elemental Heroes. Instead of having a type (Warrior) in common with multiple attributes, they have one attribute (EARTH) in common with multiple types.

Also, they are gay. They are EHeroes + Crystal Beasts, Judai X Johan. That's the whole bit with the deck.

#mtgmoxtober Day 2 - Meditation

The actual card Meditate is probably as good as it gets for cards where you are the one doing the meditating, most of my attempts at retreading that ground produced boring cards about doing a whole lot of nothing. This should at least generate some tenser situations

Day 1 - Rabbit

The BLB rabbit theme was a bit boring, so I went for a Soratami that left the skies to tend to the forests, doing a Crucible impression through OG Kamigawa's moonfolk mechanic.

Plays nicely with Channel Lands, Trade Routes, Amulet, Landfall, Sejiri Steppe, Pinglands, MLD, ...

For today's article, I'm just griping about why "fun" is a bad word for critics. spacebiff.com/2025/09/30/a...

Anti-Fun

There’s one word I try to never use when writing about board games. The F-word. No, not that one. “Fun.” There it is. My critical curse word. Today I want to talk about why “fun” isn’t an especiall…

Counterbalance is still live against 7+ drops. Also Brainstone is good.

you get to play with Mystic Forge, which is a bonkers Future Sight that comes in with built in topdeck manipulation, repeatable if you can also find the space for a Key, and Enlightened Tutor, which also gets Counterbalance. And you can also play cards with Affinity and Improvise so the

How would you feel about a heavier artifact focus? The thing we care about the most is instant speed topdeck manipulation, so this lets us slot Contraband Kingpin, Golbez and (maybe) Eloise as cheap and repeatable scry/surveil + Shimmer Myr, Raff Capashen, Vedalken Orrery for the instant speed. Also

My thinking is that you can do a pilot one of two ways: either as a Episode 1 Prototype or as a Series Showcase, and they did the second one when that's not the part I was worried about. I had no doubt that they could nail characters, world building, and animation, I still don't know if they
