How do you like them?? I’ve thought about getting some

If I were tweaking these, I'd make mode 1 of lighting a cig one discard, one draw and I'd make both Joes a little more costed

And frankly if we want to talk about the politics of these stances, implying that greater synergy between big ticket IPs makes for greater inclusiveness in the game’s broader community does a whole lot more legwork for corporations than it does for anyone marginalized

I’m a big proponent of the idea that our politics lurk in most of our decisions but assigning such strong political affiliation to the consumerist faux-battleground of UB vs non UB is silly at best and manipulative at worst

There are people who want an inclusive game with a specific creative focus, there are racists who want as many IPs as possible and I actually think it’s kind of gross to use the implied spectre of minority persecution as a trump card in arguments about Spider-Man magic cards

I do not think it’s smart for the long term to imply that being Pro UB is progressive and anti UB is exclusionary. Massive oversimplification of a complex issue and one that paves the way for people mistaking consumerism for political engagement

Designed my own Jaws because why not?

"Shark smells blood" was a fine take but I wanted something that felt more evocative of the movie. Both an homage to the slow burn of the Jaws theme and a mechanical homage to the fact that everybody would've been fine if they just stayed out of the damn water

You have no idea how quiet I'd be if there were universes within versions of big UB sets, I'd be like a lil mouse, not a dang peep

It's simple, just kill Alchemy, move its budget into digital universes within sets for each UB, eventually print a masters set of the big hits, effectively silence most of the loudest UB critics

The way my feelings on UB would change if we had more of these sets

Unbelievably hyped for Through the Omenpaths weirdness

Like I think a lot of product fatigue stuff comes down to people having an uncomfortably addictive relationship to product, social media, or both, but seeing standard get flooded with new cards, some of which can only be played online through weird loopholes, just feels bad! I love standard!!

Product fatigue stuff doesn't really phase me and the scalping stuff doesn't effect me too much but I am genuinely sad at what's been done to Standard in all this

It's one of my favorite decks! There are just lots of cool cards for the archetype in red and white that she doesn't get access to

Loooove that land animation commanders are showing up with red and white in their identity, it feels better than blue with Tatyova

As long as the buyer covers shipping/duty costs I’m happy to ship wherever!
