My Boxing Day @cardkingdom.com order arrived yesterday with my new favourite turn 2-4 combo: Wall of Blood+Rite of Consumption.
Pump Wall for as much life as I can spare, then brutally hurl it in someone's face+get all the life back!
(also Rite is legal in Pauper, because it is somehow a Common!)

Even though I play mostly black and/or red aligned decks, and Rakdos is my favourite colour pair, I genuinely adore some of the wacky characters that green has produced, like the three academic bears.
Strixhaven canonically gave tenure to AT LEAST two bears, and Doc Aurlock is apocryphally one too.

I have dyscalculia and so view people who are really good at, and engaged with, complex math and science like they're basically wizards. So having a math and science nerd hero is REALLY cool.
I like to think she'd become good buddies with my other personal favourite card, Mild-Mannered Librarian.

world's a fuck share a buddy
I love Zimone and genuinely am low key annoyed that Quint got sparked instead of her. Zimone is an absolute nerd who made a dog out of math and this is pure buddy behaviour.
She's just so cool. More Magic characters need to be joyful nerds.

And whole cabbages. If you cut open the average person in Skyrim their insides are just a solid mass of milk fats and vegetable fiber. Nothing can come out because then there would be nothing inside. Just empty, flacid person suits, like scarecrows with the hay taken out.

They say that No Man Is An Island, but this is incorrect.
Toph Bei Fong can turn Tony Stark into an Island.

I walked into the bedroom and woke them, but The Floof was CURLED UP AROUND MEWT. (yes, on top of my PJs)

Like...I kind of get putting Kellan into Simic primarily because Oko is in Simic, but then why put Kellan, the Fae-Blooded into Boros in the first place?
Or, again, why go back to mono-Red for Planar Trailblazer?
I have 5 fancy looking Kellans and can only play with 2-3 of them in a given deck.

Also the decision to make Kellan's Foundations card mono-Red baffles me. Pushing a four color Kellan would be a bit much, but the single time he was Simic is just such an odd choice.

It annoys me that, of all his cards, a Kellan deck CANNOT run all 5 Kellan cards. Kellan, the Kid, can run Daring Traveler and Inquisitive Prodigy, because FOR SOME REASON, Inquisitive Prodigy is in Simic instead or Selesnya, Boros, or Gruul, putting The Kid into Bant instead of Naya.

Can I turn Quillspike into politics?
"If no one attacks me till my next turn I will agree to remove all counters from the goat so we can all keep drawing. I promise not to hit anyone."

Also realizing that this also produces infinite mana with either Kinnan or Badgermole Cub (and with the ruling on hybrid mana you can run Quillspike in a Kinnan deck! NEAT!)

Nevermind. It also already goes infinite with Devoted Druid.

I *will* find a way to use the blight mechanic to make Quillspike go infinite (it already goes infinite with something like Putrid Goblin+Phyrexian Altar)
...so I can sacc it to Gisa for infinite zombies.

A small snippit of all the different versions of Professor Moriarty that I found pictures of for my The Strange group. Because they just encountered More'i'arty and this asshole keeps shifting between different portrayals of the Napoleon of Crime while he supervises his extradimensional drug lab.

I finally unboxed and sleeved the MH3 Eldrazi deck the a couple days ago, with a few changes (added both legal Emrakuls, Sire of Seven Deaths, Acausal Vestige, etc) and with with the full alt art Ulalek and Azlask. Also changed out some lands, including full arts.
