What're these borders? Croatia but no Kosovo?

Did Franklin predict Ireland's partition or explicitly say Ulster white?

Lot of people more annoyed that language is a living, changing thing than the predatory nature of in game purchases (but we all knew the latter already, so this isn't gonna be news to us).

Yes, I'm sure that Fox News explains the endurance Joseph Smith's religion.

It certainly sold itself as feminist and forward thinking, but the conservatism of USociety certainly took control of the scripts early on.

Having a rules correction before the mechanic has even released is a big headache and makes it much harder for me to grasp the mechanics and how it works.

Blargh.

No, but as Innistrad is the popular revisited horror plane R&D was actively trying to have DSK be in space Innistrad set sets don't touch.

Or ended up as a priest caste, or a third gender, or were accepted as the gender they expressed in some non-European parts of the world.

Or maybe both?

As was detailed by someone else the Doylian reason why heroes don't change the status quo is that people want to see our world in media, not a fantasy one and that this means only villains are allowed to want changes, but since the people funding the production of media tend to be invested in the status quo status quo changing ideas tend to be flanderised and done by people who do evil and selfish acts to reinforce standard morality.

I thought he gave some villain speech about getting his gang and people like them what they deserved and bringing down Stark and Co. But I could well be mistaken or misremembering since I only saw it once, quite some time ago so you may very well be right.

I dunno, I think making things like this is Clowes' lifeline. He makes comics about how dirty and self hating he is to keep himself going.

So I reckon it's no waste of time and reduced global suffering and pain.

Congratulations, you're now at level 2 of the joke.

Legit though Clowes' work is all about self-loathing and feeling dirty. It's not easy or pleasant.

 

How did you all get on at your prereleases?

Looks to be a synergy set as despite opening Lumara, Maha, and almost one of each of the reanination spells in the set I went 2:1. =ł ah well.

Matched up against a fun deck blinking Head of the Homestead with the token class enchantment. Luckily it doesn't do well against Vren the Relentless.
On the other hand it turns out that Azure Beastbinder is a top tier threat, and synergy can beat power.

Still I can't complain about opening chase cards. What about all of you? Any fun interactions or moments from your prerelease?

 

Which decks leaving with rotation this autumn are you sad to see go?

For me there are two big ones: Rakdos Anvil and Mono-Blue Cauldron Combo.

Rakdos Anvil has been able to turn into Mardu Warleader's Anvil, which can kill out of nowhere with Ojer Axonil. It's a lot of fun to play, but yes not a tier one deck at the moment. Gets wrecked by Temporary Lockdown, unfortunately; but still does alright if not great.

Mono-Blue Cauldon Combo is, in my opinion, more consistent than the GU Culdron Combo that remains. It can be surprisingly aggressive as a plan B in case oppo is focused on disruption, and with new additions from MKM (Forensic Researcher) and OTJ (Harrier Strix) is more powerful and consistent than even. Does very well on ladder, but is a bit of a hassle to play on Arena, because infinite mana isn't handled well at all. That might be why it seems unexpected and steals a lot of wins. Doesn't actually get wrecked by Temporary Lockdown, because you can bounce it at end of turn and get all the combo pieces back and then just go off.

But what about all you other Standard Appreciaters? What decks are you sad to see go at rotation?

Anyone manage to win with either of the artifact decks (Token Resistance and Artifact or Fiction)?

The others all seem to go hugely over the top, or just trample over them each time I try to play them.

 

New reach effect in arena to make it very obvious.

Secret reach is now instant speed tricks only. =( (Though I've attacked into more than my share of reaching cyclops.)

 

Give me mormir over this degenerate rubbish. -_-

Wow, Wizards really needs to better vet artists or indeed artwork at this point.

Kellan's duel with Akul takes place.

Ral sets up the lead in to the conclusion.

I'd love to see Oko in some antivillain roles in the future, or have him glorious bastard his way across Esper.

 

Fun anarchist memes and shit posts please.
