Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

This is the first week I've been without a brace for the hand injury I mentioned a few weeks back and I want to die. ;-; On the upside, at some point I apparently dislocated my thumb at the joint and accidentally popped it back in to place while using it so I've got that going for me. I feel like e...

Re: Banlist update: 7 cards banned for offensive imagery/names

Sorry folks, but I think we've realistically moved past the point where we're discussing MTG, which puts this past the scope of this forum, so I'll be locking this thread.

My entire experience of Chicago was driving here and nearly being absorbed by the beauty of Lake Michigan. That lakeshore drive area is really something to behold.
I just had a flight transfer there on my way back from a moderator meet up. ^.^ It is a very pretty lake though!

I love how you still have existential dread after coming here for two days. Although, it was pretty humid that weekend.
If there's no blistering heat, abundant cacti, and single digit humidity, is it really worth living? Humidity is actually hell.

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

Haha. If you think Maryland is bad, try Chicago. The summers are hotter and just as humid and the winters colder with more snow. At least the week of spring and fall we get each year is nice. My entire experience of Chicago was limited to it's airport, which is hands down, the worst layout of any a...

Re: Banlist update: 7 cards banned for offensive imagery/names

Only slightly ,but that brings up another point: Having the age requirement that is ignored and that tag line makes it okay? So if MTG was aimed at the same group as CAH the cards that got banned wouldn't be banned? :hmm: BTW MTG is aimed at 13+ (if you read the packaging) not really a child's game...

Re: Banlist update: 7 cards banned for offensive imagery/names

I wouldn't want to beat a dead horse. Thanks for discussing it. I'm curious, would you be willing to share a (short) list of cards that are borderline in your opinion? This question is for anyone else too. I don't want to refute them (and promise not to). I'm just curious and would like to expand m...

Re: Banlist update: 7 cards banned for offensive imagery/names

Correct me if I'm misunderstanding, but it sounds to me like what's being said is, to feel comfortable is a choice, to feel uncomfortable is a compulsion. Whose to say it isn't the other way around? Or they're both choosing or they're both under compulsion? Your relationship with that is your own b...

Re: Banlist update: 7 cards banned for offensive imagery/names

Unless the artist is on record stating that the art is an allusion to rape, then those that view it that way may be prudes that are projecting latent fantasies. Nothing sexual never even crossed my mind upon looking at that art and I like bondage . The flavor nor the context just isn't there to sup...

Re: Banlist update: 7 cards banned for offensive imagery/names

Its more that its a really submissive sexualized pose that in the context of the card, isn't consensual. Its just... really uncomfortable in context. So what you're saying is, Murder is consensual and comfortable? I find it rather convenient for people to want genders to be equal until it's inconve...

Re: Banlist update: 7 cards banned for offensive imagery/names

Pokken's distinction is definitely how I'd categorize my position. I only meant that Earthbind is really singular in terms of art, and a real departure from Wizards' usual policy concerning representation. Yeah! I just wanted to clarify that I'd be super disappointed if it received some kind of act...

Re: Banlist update: 7 cards banned for offensive imagery/names

Friends of mine have speculated that especially racy art might also get the chopping block. Not just the creepy aspect of Earthbind, some versions of Elvish Ranger, OG fire elemental. The insensitivity on that front was made clear when they printed Red-Hot Hottie . Although, low bar being low, at l...

Re: Banlist update: 7 cards banned for offensive imagery/names

I'd love to see WotC do something about Earthbind while they're at it. I don't know that banning it is that something, but while it's not as egregious as other offenders, the art is still really damn creepy and uncomfortable.

Re: When a game ends up 1v1 - Gloves on or off?

Gloves start off, and stay off. If there's something I'm unwilling to do to an opponent, that is a consideration for deckbuilding. Once it comes to playing, I'll do whatever means I now have at my disposal to win. Granted, I don't play a lot of combo and have predominately relied on combat damage as...

Re: Banlist update: 7 cards banned for offensive imagery/names

Whether the art glorifies racism is a completely unrelated topic, imo, from the artist's personal views. There's no duck to look or quack like except the art itself, and I don't see it quacking personally. Willing to be wrong. You can't divorce intent, or the artist, completely for art. Guernica is...

Try to keep the discussion to the issue at hand as much as possible. Politics are going to bleed into this topic, thats a given.

My offhand. I can't properly hold a pencil with my splint.

It's not pretty, it takes several minutes to just get a sentence or two to be legible
