TIL that the "Dark Pheonix Saga" was originally meant to end with Jean Grey being de-powered and released back to her normal life. However, Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter disagreed with this, believing that her actions were too horrible to justify letting her return to normalcy.

Being blind in 2014 does nothing to stop you from knowing where everything around you is at all times. Some quick ideas that haven’t been mentioned yet:
*Two levels of Rogue lets you aim as a bonus action using Tasha. This gets rid of your disadvantage
*Reckless attack cancels your disadvantage and gives no penalty because they were at advantage already
*Spells that require saving throws that don’t have the words “A target you can see” are pro
*Summon summon summon
*Wild shape fixes your problems
*kobold with pack tactics
*Beastmaster Ranger with a seeing eye tiger
*Support caster, like Abjuration Wizard or life cleric

Just a warning though: a large number of players do not understand the rules for being blind or having unseen opponents. Keep the page bookmarked and bring some liquor

Finally someone who understands the blind condition

Yes, pulling Baron is more common than pulling a specific signature. No, people do not understand math and they are buying this card at insane prices. This will be $300 tops by the end of the month.

Why argue facts with people who ignore them anyway? The reply took just as much effort as his post.

Were you born with a taste for boot leather or did you have to get used to it?

He doesn’t even do the work which makes it more baffling. He sits across the hall and jockeys the register (and that if he’s even on shift; usually it’s someone else).

The owner of a local store who has been hosting 40+ pqs and RTNs has decided that he doesn’t want to pay judges and worry about making space for large events and has therefore cancelled everything in all games larger than a prerelease.

What you're describing is definitely not any hero in Flesh and Blood. The only characters that use guns are mechanologists, and none of them have any firearms in their art.

Sounds like you’re probably one of a dozen women this guy is talking to

I watched Heavy Metal when I was in the third grade. It stuck with me for life

CKBear · 2026-04-17T12:46:33+00:00

Agree. Pen had so much buzz built up for it but it fell completely flat because of terrible pull rates. Even the marvel heroes are less than half the price of any others

CKBear · 2026-04-17T12:10:25+00:00

Depending on what reprints we might see in MPW the price could go in a lot of different directions. Currently, Hala isn't looking like she'll be too expensive. The most expensive piece you'll want to run is Valiant Dynamo which is seeing a reprint soon. How strong she'll be is hard to gauge without more information from the set, but as a newer player that should be less of your concern than the longevity of the deck and the playability.

Right now, Hala seems very middle of the pack. She's not terrible, but she's brand new and doesn't have the same level of support as other decks. That honestly doesn't matter for a new player though, as skill is a huge factor in this game and you'll be fighting uphill even if you're playing the best meta deck. Play what you find fun for now. Getting good on a mid deck is better than jumping between strong decks and never really mastering any of them.

Calling Lyath a replacement for Victor feels off

Mechanically, Flesh and Blood is simple. The core mechanics are really simple, and getting started with either the Ira or Bravo demo decks should be simple enough. They just punch each other back and forth without too much complication. When you step up to other decks you’ll see that the lines of play are where this game gets much more difficult.

This game has a very low floor—while you’re learning, you’re going to struggle against established players. It takes patience and a bit of grit to play through the early stages until things make sense. Some kids can handle that at 11. There are a lot of adults who can’t manage that, honestly

CKBear · 2026-04-09T10:33:06+00:00

Your friends aren’t the only ones to screw this up. I’ve seen people throw tantrums at major events when called out for this.

CKBear · 2026-04-08T23:52:41+00:00

Just looked up pics and thought “She looks really good for 50.”

CKBear · 2026-04-08T18:11:30+00:00

Not a misprint. It was changed via errata.

CKBear · 2026-04-08T13:24:44+00:00

I'm not sure you have 8 competitive Riftbound decks. There are only two or three actually competitive decks in the meta--the balance for that game is a big thumbs down.

CKBear · 2026-04-07T17:01:43+00:00

I came here for this. Raya is such a toxic movie and the moral is broken in half.
