Pay attention, they’re coming for trans people right now, but they legitimately feel like they deserve to tell you how to live your life. These politicians legitimately don’t think your rights or lives matter more than the money they’re taking

BREAKING: Yesterday multiple Republican lawmakers in Michigan voted to uphold a law that banned unmarried couples from living together. Below State Senator Thomas Albert argues in favor of the law, claiming that it’s better for children to be in a household with married parents.

It still cracks me up that wizards thought the card counterspell would be too good for modern but a 2 mana planeswalker, 0 mana recurrable 8/8 tramples and Tolarian academy on a creature with a draw engine were totally fine.

I’ve never been less interested in playing with a magic set than I am for this D&D one. I just never got into D&D lore and asking me to add dice rolling as a very common occurrence on every card in my deck sounds awful for paper. Will probably barely touch this set honestly.

Nope, expressive iteration and its not close. People really dont understand value over replacement. Ragavan is great but marginally better than the next best threat. EI is miles better than any other legal card draw spell (excluding the delve pair in pioneer)

The real take I'm getting from this B&R announcement is that Pioneer is just being replaced by historic. 10 paragraphs of careful tuning to the historic metagame placed right above the throwaway paragraph about green being bad but the meta is healthy in pioneer sums it up well

Oko is in actual every modern deck that can contort its mana to cast it at this point. Extremely sick of this card and would be happy to see it banned. If wotc printed playable removal spells for planeswalkers it might be fine, but attacking it down just isnt realistic

Have been testing this in modern and kind of crushing. Deck feels very strong but still needs some tuning. And yes, it hurts to give up teferi time raveler, but lurrus is arguably the best card ever printed so its worth it.

Youre playing a big on camera match. You attack your opponent whos at 7 for 6 damage with your 1 flyer. Post combat you look down & realize you have a hierarch in hand and missed lethal. You still have the game 100% locked with multiple counter spells. Do you play the noble?
