I've never been very active on any social media. I'm thinking I'll start off by posting some pictures of my cat and my dog. That seems appropriate. Now to decide which photos to post... π€
Agreed! I actually prefer it that way. I don't share the sentiment of some that things should be changing more often, and I definitely don't think we should be banning cards in a healthy meta just to artificially create newness for the sake of avoiding the perception of "staleness."

Pauper feels really balanced, healthy, & diverse - and it's growing. I'd remove HT's trial status & move forward w/ no changes. Playrate/winrate are fine & the deck isn't oppressive or meta warping. Only very specific types of players gravitate to that type of deck so I also don't see it exploding.

My current personal obsession is Cat Food. I'm trying Nutrient Block in the deck. I would love to see more work on the deck. In my recent testing, it has felt pretty good, but staying ahead on life total has been tough. Slots are definitely tight.

My favorite card in Legacy is Hymn to Tourach! You've got to stick to the classics! Bonus points for being a common that *could* someday be Pauper legal π₯Ή.

Agreed 100%. One day of PTD and then a pre-set cap on additional availability until gone after that would be sooo much better!

It looks like it may be a better Radiant Fountain if any payoffs or synergy cards in a deck needing that effect care about Town typing.

With all the flood the zone tactics being used by this administration every day, we can't lose sight of what is actually important, keep our leaders accountable, and highlight the actual harm they would do with these decisions. Maybe renaming the Gulf of MEXICO isn't and important fight to take on.
Today, House Republicans are unveiling their plan to increase energy bills and pollution for everyday Americans, just to give billionaires another tax break. A summary of their proposals. THREAD! π§΅
