Holy crap! I just took a look at the deck lists and boy are they not %$#%' around on this batch. Wow! I kinda want all of them.

So I guess there are now a bunch of detectives on Ravnica who were just waiting for the right mystery to make themselves known. I hope the haberdasher isn't too overworked.

If I'm not mistaken, that image is an homage/parody of an X-Men beach scene from the 90s.

It seems to me that they're generating more reprint equity than they're using. New cards seem to be constantly invalidating old ones.

I randomly stumbled across Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink, and now I really want to build it. Has anyone built it or played against it?

A few things while we're on it:

Rancor rhymes with anchor.

Garruk is not pronounced 'Guh-rook.' Please stop saying it like this, lest my ears rot and fall off.

@RxPhantom English is definitely a lawless mishmash and teaching it to children for whom it is not their first language is a daily challenge. It forces me to confront the inconsistencies and exceptions, causing my brain to seize up as I seek to understand why nation is nay-shun, but national is nas...

General Ferrous Rokiric has become one of my favorite commanders in recent years. He dodges a lot of the format's best removal while elevating cards such as Lightning Helix and Squee's Embrace since you get a 4/4 body with it every time.

Ok now I'm having an existential crisis about how to pronounce Necropotence, a card name I've been saying out loud for nearly 30(!!!) years. Thanks. Please, I am having an existential crisis about whether I have been pronouncing omnipotence and impotence wrong. They are above the law, because Necro...

They are above the law, because Necropotence should be pronounced similarly to omnipotence or impotence, but it's not. And. I. HATE. It.

How are people vining with these dossier treatments?

I know people who have named their children Liliana and Iona, both specifically because of MTG. I've also met some Jaces out in the wild. Jaces Wild, if you will.

My daughter's name is Scarlett, but it could've just as well been Merieke Ri Berit.

I finally got COVID for the first time, and when I told my bosses, they asked me to come in and just mask up. I couldn't believe they had the nerve to ask me to come in. I'm glad I said no because the body aches and chills really kicked my ass a few hours later. And today I can't taste anything so ...

Does Kellan being a milquetoast lame-o factor into this at all?

Merry Christmas, Nexus!

Side note, I got a Switch today and it takes games FOREVER to download.

Oooohhh. That's some sexy dark mode I tell ya what.

Nexus has been awesome. I just wish I could think of more interesting topics to post.

That Jack Nicholson wolf one is an awesome deep cut. What an odd movie.

I run whatever basics I have that I think look nice, but I ensure that each is different art. I like the variety.

It's hard to find good content for the same reason it's hard to come up with a topic to post here on Nexus: I feel like everything has already been discussed and all that's left is to pour over the avalanche of new cards. And that sucks. I like Rhystic Studies, TCC, and Command Zone's gameplay episo...

It's amazing how much my mind blocks out UB. I see that frame and I just check out. Lemme try this again...

It's Cathars' Crusadey sword.

Minority Report is an utterly incredible movie.

Can we add a way to snooze users so I can enjoy my regularly scheduled complaining about power creep?

Bitter Triumph is here, so I guess Infernal Grasp is chaff. Grasp itself invalidated Go for the Throat and Ultimate Price. Poor Terror...
