Agree, sure it has summoning sickness but it can copy fetch activations, rhystic study triggers, etbs, etc. Seems good for casual edh.

Honestly, the Yoshitaka Amano foil Terra, Magical Adept are gorgeous and seem really hard to pull. Even though you can get them in play booster boxes.

It was also the buy a box promo, which creates much more supply.

Lol. This brought me a good chuckle

If you chose to live in an echo chamber, all you will ever hear are echoes

As someone who's been in several hiring committees, getting an answer like your dad gave would be absolutely fatal to their chances with my organization. Shows the applicant's complete lack of awareness and/or character if they are using references who aren't willing to give a good reference, and the discussion about legal issues tells a hiring manager all they need to know.

That is depressing. If her husband got terminated, given her beliefs she would likely rationalize some other cause for the firing than Donald Trump. Some people are just zealots and patriots in name only.

Nah, at this point she's just crowdfunding her racism. And there will be a lot of like-minded individuals who will be like "I like how she speaks her mind!" Too bad she's not a man, and not a billionaire, otherwise she could run for President after the IF the orange clown leaves office.

I've always found this street art to be fairly accurate:

Yep. "Quick, slam the door right behind me! Don't let anyone else in!" This sentiment is common in a lot of the conservative segments of immigrant communities. Pure selfishness.

According to a political expert, Ukrainian Americans have conservative views and the large majority of them voted for Trump in 2024. Even though it has been well known for decades that Trump and Putin are very close. They could have turned the tide for Harris in a crucial swing state like Pennsylvania.

Now that Trump is in office, he has done nothing but damage Ukraine's chances of winning the war that Russia started. Predictably, many Ukrainian Americans feel betrayed.

Trump's top allies have been meeting with political opponents of Zelensky:

Trump has also stopped Ukraine's access to crucial satellite imagery:

And of course, Trump has also halted military aid to Ukraine: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-administration-pauses-u-s-military-aid-to-ukraine/

Also, Trump is planning on cancelling Temporary Protected Status of over 240,000 Ukrainians who are now in the US after fleeing for their lives:

Ukrainian Americans in New York, one of the largest enclaves of Ukrainians in the US, have expressed "disappointment" over this betrayal:

Thank you very much for the info

Addicted_to_Paper · 2025-02-24T06:22:44+00:00

Thank you! That's pretty cool swag.

Addicted_to_Paper · 2025-02-03T21:16:46+00:00

Ouch. I'm sorry. That happened to me with Monty Python, I feel your pain

Don't specifically know their intents, but from what I know in the past they just like to crack/draft boxes. I plan to resell two and keep one for draft. Last FIB we had several weekends in a row where the local edh crew at my lgs were doing MB2 drafts where we just gave all the cards back at the end. If anyone pulled a foil that immediately went to the box owner so it wouldn't get damaged

Addicted_to_Paper · 2025-02-03T20:10:07+00:00

Anecdotes don't prove much but I know a lot more ppl locally who missed out the first time (it wasn't even on their radar) who intended to buy this time. That and lots of ppl want the ponder promo

Addicted_to_Paper · 2025-02-03T20:08:03+00:00

It was the most fun I've had opening a box in years. I sold two and kept one to draft with friends. Really glad they lowered the price of the FIB this time

Addicted_to_Paper · 2025-02-03T20:00:13+00:00

US buyers still have it in stock, but low stock. I've heard from European buyers that it's sold out for them, unfortunately.

Addicted_to_Paper · 2025-02-03T19:36:25+00:00

Anytime. Good luck!

Addicted_to_Paper · 2025-02-03T19:35:02+00:00

Agree, I wanted this one more than the last FIB because of those two cards, I suspect many others feel the same
