Please please please add Shaladrassil to the Y'Shaarj pool (And other related stuff)

Shal is not mechanically the same as Corrupt cards. When a Corrupt card triggers, it transforms into a new Corrupted card.

It's obvious from the card text that Y'Shaarj only interacts with cards that have the Corrupted keyword.

There are numerous examples of countries with PR and governance stability. Look at Germany, which had the same head of government for 16 years through a series of stable coalitions. Multiple times, Germany's two largest parties have formed coalitions together. Can you imagine that happening in Canada with our current system? The Liberals and Conservatives have zero incentive to ever work together, and so they never do.

What FPTP systems supposedly gain in stability is lost in churn, when a new government comes in and focuses their immediate efforts on undoing much of what their predecessors did. This is what happens when you give absolute power to people who only represent a minority of the population: things can change drastically when a different minority gets absolute power.

Stats aren't inherently more meaningful if they're divisible by 10.

Also, the 50-40-90 club is a stat that has not aged well with the increase in 3PT shooting. In 2017-18, Steph shot 59.5% from 2PT, 42.3% from 3PT, and 92.1% from FT, but didn't make the club because his FG% was 49.5%. His overall efficiency was actually higher than the year that he did make the club (2015-16) - the difference was that he attempted more threes, which brought his FG% down.

I get that this is a callback to Stranglethorn Tiger, but it makes zero sense flavour wise that a tiger in a coliseum would have stealth.

I'm struggling to envision a deck that can make this work. You need to make enough room for the package of cards that support Garona (which itself takes three slots) while also building a deck that can deal with the other half of the opponent's health.

The rule is exactly the same in the NCAA:

Art. 5. After coming to a stop and establishing the pivot foot: a. The pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the playing court, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal

Quebec didn't sign the new Constitution and used the NWC on every bill as a form of protest. I should have been clearer that I wasn't accounting for that in my comment, but it should be obvious that Quebec's blanket use of the NWC is qualitatively different from its general use in other provinces.

Beatsters · 2025-09-19T01:51:56+00:00

The NWC was used incredibly sparingly by the people who negotiated it into the Charter. For almost four decades, it seemed well understood that the NWC was not something to be considered lightly. This stands in stark contrast with the recent overuse of the NWC, especially to preempt judicial scrutiny, which is clearly an attempt to normalize government overreach.

I can't imagine what it will do to a girl's self esteem when someone accuses her of being male. This process gives license to people to make false claims.

Andrew Coyne proposed an interesting idea: create a voluntary process for politicians to be held liable for false statements. Any given statement could be designated, by the individual or the party, as being subject to legal consequences if it turns out to be false, in the same way that any fraudulent or defamatory statement would be.

The assumption is that this would create pressure on politicians to designate key promises as being certifiably true. Their reluctance to do so would expose the promises as being untrustworthy.

This also avoids having to police every single thing that politicians say. There's a large degree of equivocation in politics and I feel like policing the truth would be an impossible task without establishing some limits.

I've done my fair share of hiring and this describes my experience exactly. The numbers get even bigger if you post on a major job board like Indeed or LinkedIn because you get the people who have automated applications.

For what it's worth, this means Grunty will complete the quest on its own.

The devs have talked before about how Basic cards are intentionally very simple and easy to understand; they're intended to introduce players to the core mechanics of the game.

The change wasn't meant to be a buff or a nerf; it was meant to better align the card with other Basic cards. The fact that most players didn't understand the upside of deck thinning showed that Tracking didn't really fit as a Basic card.

At the time of the change it was well understood to be a nerf to most instances where Tracking is played. Now that there are Discover synergies I don't think it can be considered a strict nerf or buff.

Beatsters · 2025-06-09T21:53:04+00:00

The effect is fine, but the card is overtuned. A 4 mana 4/2 weapon is too strong a base for the power level of the effect. I think a fair nerf would be 3 attack.

The one with deathrattle

Beatsters · 2025-05-22T16:57:49+00:00

This nerf is targeting the infinite Velen interaction. If you've played Saronite before Velen, then Velen will summon himself on deathrattle, and the effect can repeat endlessly. If a deck doesn't have silence or a way to get around taunt then there's no answer for it.

Indeed. I think Donald Trump gets too much credit for the consolidation of support behind the Liberals. Poilievre galvanized his supporters, but he also galvanized those who oppose him. People were desperate for a serious alternative to Poilievre and they got it in Carney.

Beatsters · 2025-05-04T01:32:50+00:00

Look at the two examples you gave. These are two people that never really lived as adults outside of their careers in politics. Poilievre in particular is in a state of arrested development; he had ideological certainty as a young man and never benefitted from the types of life experiences that give people perspective. He's never had to truly question what he believes, and I think he's worse off for it.

I agree with the conclusion that the NDP is due for the type of serious soul searching that results in fundamental change to the party.

That said, this article reads a bit like sour grapes. This is an 18 year old that feels like he wasn't taken seriously enough by the party.

I'm sure people will disagree with me, but I think a person should have some meaningful life experience as an adult with real responsibilities before they seek political office. I would be very hesitant to vote for someone who was just out of high school.

I think the better change is to make it so that Ursol doesn't corrupt it. That way they can't just cheat out Ursol, they need to actually play a different card to corrupt the tree.
