Pets are definitely family.

I just had to say goodbye to my 14 year old puppy just a few weeks ago, and it hurt. It's still weird how empty the house is.

I wish I had taken latin. Pharmacy school would've been at least a little bit easier.

Trust me. No you don't, and no it wouldn't have.

Random thing I'm annoyed about today is the "SECRET LAIR: THE UNFATHOMABLE CRUSHING BRUTALITY OF BASIC LANDS" (I know all caps is annoying but I c/p'd it and I don't want to retype it). I kinda dig the art and I almost want to consider getting some, but the distribution model is so stupid...

This would have never happened. You're thinking of someone else. Possible, but pretty sure it was you. I remember you blowing it up so you could ramp. But maybe it was someone else. Amusingly enough, if someone isn't *super* ramped ahead when this hits the table, it can even help whoever's got the ...

I think one of my greater games was when Sinis refused to ramp for 3 turns because Oath was out.

Do you use Oath of Lieges? What kind of deck do you have it in? Yes. White decks. I kid a bit, but Oath of Lieges is an amazing card. Don't think of it so much as ramp for yourself, or even that you're helping other players, but rather that it punishes and shuts down every other ramp player, and es...

Holy f'ing hell the new Secret lair giants are awesome.

I voted Kaldheim, but that was rough. I also second that the Eldraine frames and art were fantastic. It's tough, and I'm wondering now if I voted too quickly. Ikoria was a bit odd in having two different ones, I liked the comic book alt art, but the lack of border makes them a bit more normal. I did...

And you don't want to go into the Rumor Mill. You have to know that I now need to know why, and so I probably will. You really don't want to. Keyboard warriors, racism, politics. Every time a new set comes out, or a new product, if it has anything that can even conceivably be tied to race or sexism...

I mean, the whole 'Sally is dying' thing might have turned a few people away from forums. I know I checked out for a long time, but then decided to give Nexus a go. Right now, I think the community is a bit divided between the two sites. IMO everyone should migrate to the *clearly* better site (thi...

Eh. I dunno. I find the chat interesting currently as well, and there hasn't been any other off-topic interruptions yet, but people can still chime in as needed. I think that if off-topic goes off on a different tangent, but there more primer stuff to discuss, that's when you need to start a new thr...

I would love to set up/revive some weekend games again. Things have been a bit hectic on my end currently, but maybe soon?

My guess is that they are setting up the world tree as being able to traverse the planes, but perhaps more easily only if you know it exists, which is why others don't randomly stumble across it. Vorinclex either followed someone who bridged to new phyrexia, or stumbled across it, or was brought ove...

Have you considered the possibility that shuffling wrong made you play 3 colors?

do any of you see an interesting way to build Koma, Cosmos Serpent ? The only thing that stands out is that UG can't normally sacrifice creatures very efficiently. Are there any serpents that want to die? Or UG changelings that want to die? Define "interesting." Koma is a big, highly resi...

My state is at Essential Frontline (Healthcare), 70+, and just recently 65+ and high risk medical patients. Several government buildings/employees have somehow managed to sneak ahead of line as well. Schools/Teachers have also managed to maneuver into the Frontline Essential category, rather than &q...

For you Skred players, Frost Bite is roughly as strong with a much higher floor in exchange for a lower ceiling. Not being able to dust x/6s for r sucks, but you're still dusting a number of obnoxious non- Urza commanders with this spell if you just stop and think for a moment what creatures you ac...

Sometimes things are just taken for granted, and you don't realize you need to reevaluate them until someone actually questions it.

I agree with some of all these various points brought up in the thread. At some point more and more explanations became required. I do remember that the then-committee (which I believe no one remains of that initial group) had a discussion about whether every card needed an individual explanation, o...

Primers started all about the content - The looks and formatting are there to make the content more readable. Of course, people who take pride in their deck to make a primer tend to also take pride in their primers, and make them more than what is needed. There are some amazing Primers out there. Do...

Yeah, that I can agree with. White is the only other color that can fetch lands to the battlefield (outside of Alpine Guide (which really... isn't), Embodiment of Spring (which is 'green'), and Dreamscape Artist ), I do think they could stand a bit more exploration into this. Land ramp really needs...

I really hate the basic clause they're putting on plains fetches. It's obnoxious. Like they're afraid to accidentally pull a Mystic Sanctuary except the white plains lands are pretty weak mostly :P That stoic farmer coulda straight up cost 1W and seen negligible play outside of standard, but 2W and...

The biggest joke of a card, white-wise, is Stoic Farmer though. Did this really need to be worded this way? The cost of a Kor Cartographer , the effect of a Knight of the White Orchid , as Wayfarer's Bauble chuckles in the distance. Seriously. Actually, it's worse than both of those. Cartographer a...

You couldn't pay me to put one of the runes on a piece of equipment to get blown out with a 3-for-1 when someone kills the equipment then blocks the creature.

But it won't be a 3-1. The rune already replaced itself. It's a 0.
