Arabella stands out as a card that I want to try in terms of making your life total matter sometimes in Stadium Stampede. I think there's something pretty cool to explore in a world where every creature has one power to have some creatures that threaten to completely solo you somehow.

Chewing on a big update to Stadium Stampede. Ways to make your life total matter is something I'm contemplating. Orcish Artillery offers a lot to consider conceptually. I think a traditional pinger would be unfun, but would the life cost limit the output meaningfully? Is the tracking annoying?

My intuition is that in practice the card reads cool but operates even closer to Visara the Dreadful than Prodigal Pyromancer and is just a removal check for your opponent that you lose if you fail. But every time I look at it I want to believe in something fun in similar space.

My equality under the law is not a gift that can be gotten for me by a political party to ensure my loyalty. My equality stems from my humanity. All humans are created equal. You can choose not to recognize my humanity, but you don't own it, and you can't give it to me.

Fighting the people who GOT YOU THOSE RIGHTS SET IN LAW? Are you insane?

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

I watched Backrooms on the flight in yesterday and can’t stop thinking about how well the movie handles “show don’t tell” in expressing its allegories of trauma and self-work. I just typed up like a 10 skeet thread which got lost to time when I toggled to a different app which I’m kind of mad about!

I was a baby about horror growing up and stuff like jump scares and excessive gore irritate me more than anything, but I’ve really come to enjoy movies like Backrooms and The Babadook that are rich in allegory, so hit me up with any recs you might have for the tail end of spooky season!

Love me a Spooky Cube

If you're a Cube beginner, or a massive Innistrad fan, or maybe just in a spooky Halloween mood, then may I evangelize to you about building an Innistrad Cube? blog.cardkingdom.com/5-reasons-bu...

I’m really looking forward to seeing how Standard shakes out this weekend! Hopefully we’ll see some nice Izzet decks 👀👀

I hope everyone had fun with the Reality Fracture Prerelease- Now it's time to see what those cards can do in Standard! I'll be in the booth for #SCGHartford for #SpotlightRFA in a couple weeks, so be sure to tune into the stream, or maybe I'll see you there! bit.ly/scg-con-hart...

Ok, one more thing… links to PornHub are allowed, even though links to OnlyFans are not. This isn’t about porn, it’s about censorship of independent creators. #Censorship

we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.

Why are the owners so committed to making this place suck shit? They are so burdened by the idea that they accidentally made something people might like.

I saw a completely unhinged take the other day that the Arena client is rigged so players flood more often under certain circumstance, so I want to share my much less deranged tinfoil hat theory that this daily quest prioritizes the matchmaker to give you opponents playing fewer/no creatures.

Remember all those times I said that in a white supremacist patriarchy, you have value only insofar as you serve that white supremacist patriarchy? Including white women (see: Heather Heyer, Cassidy Hutchinson), law enforcement (see: Jan 6), or generals (see: Randy George, David Hodne)? About that.

Newsmax host calls George W. Bush “borderline treasonous” for not helping Ken Paxton in his Senate race: "George W. Bush screws around in his basement garage... painting high school quality art class paintings of his friends. That is a disgrace.”

I'm getting really excited to see what Standard looks like at #SCGHartford for #SpotlightRFA! Hopefully we'll see some sweet Prowess decks 👀👀

this is the reason these questions are asked. it doesn't matter how well el-sayed answers, the media get to write a headline with his name and the muslim brotherhood in it. heated, islamist, implications, criticize, disavow, dual loyalty, scary man bad
