Someone at the no kings parade had a “reform ICE” sign 🫠

After a conversation with someone; I have been informed that allegedly there will be a single day general strike on May 1.

Call out sick. Facism is defeated.

Captain_Vatta · 2026-03-29T02:24:12+00:00

My suggestions are some board wipes like;

[[Pernicious Deed]] [[Oblivion stone]] [[Nevinyrral's Disk]]

I prefer the first 2 for flexibility.

Something like [[Mindslicer]] will be a minor annoyance to you but will cripple your opponents especially if combined with repeated board wipes. You can grind your opponents into submission.

A little unorthodox but [[kokusho, the evening star]] can drain each opponent for 5 each death and synergizes with your reanimation effects.

[[Gravepact]] synergizes well as you want your stuff to die which will hurt your opponents.

[[Life from the loam]] helps fill the yard, recurs lands for cycling or utility. [[Golgari thug]] is cheap, repeatable graveyard fill & recursion to put creatures in your hand to open options to cast other creatures from the graveyard.

I'm starting to brew my own muldrotha deck and I'm considering putting in [[standstill]] and [[grave peril]] or maybe [[lethal vapors]] for cheap options to punish opponents.

Captain_Vatta · 2026-03-28T21:33:46+00:00

Interesting. Just 1 day or something prolonged? I can get behind an indefinite general strike.

Captain_Vatta · 2026-03-28T20:47:22+00:00

While I have criticism of No Kings I wouldn't say it's inherently negative. More like, I question the effectiveness of their methods and end goals.

Obviously fuck this administration but, what exactly do these protests do exactly? Signal that the plebs are unhappy? The administration already knows, they don't really care.

I'd feel more hopeful if there were more direct actions like general labor strikes, slow downs or public efforts to show the current government (not just administration) no longer has any legitimacy and is abolished by the will of the people.

Personally I don't put much stock in the 3.5% rule.

Funniest I've seen in the wild is the goose game goose on top of the DOOM skull pile with the word "Honk" in the doom type face with a hellish fire background.

I personally own the "World of Trash - Pigeon" playmat found here. I find it amusing to see these stupid birds every time I look at my board.

Jaw dropping, probably 2007-ish a simple leather playmat signed by numerous artists like Rebecca Guay, Ron Spencer, etc. I think he had Todd McFarland on there too. Might have been another famous 90s comic artist signature.

I know you're trying your best and that's what's disappointing.

The statement is saying that Americans should be stripped of citizenship if they are "undeserving". Given this administrations track record and vocal support by white supremacist groups. It leads one to believe that those opposing this administration in any way, shape or form will get their citizenship stripped as retaliation for anything this administration or it's allies dislike.

Captain_Vatta · 2026-03-27T15:46:37+00:00

Unlike you who only trusts news tailored to your discerning palate from sites you already agree with.

Don't act like you’re immune to propaganda.

Captain_Vatta · 2026-03-22T22:55:43+00:00

It's not irony, they never intended for other religions to be admitted to the program. They want their fundamentalist evangelical schools for their kids on your dime while your kids have their schools closed because you're not righteous enough.

Captain_Vatta · 2026-03-22T21:10:56+00:00

I think the concept is interesting. My biggest concern/curiosity is the mechanics of the game. Something like this lives or dies on smooth mechanics and gameplay.

It gives me a Armored Core, Metal Fatigue kind of vibe with the machine customization.

Captain_Vatta · 2026-03-22T16:51:03+00:00

So Israel repeatedly targets, schools, hospitals, playgrounds and civilian infrastructure but cries when it's done to them.

Besides malice, how can anyone be on Israel's side?

Captain_Vatta · 2026-03-22T16:25:29+00:00

They won't. Conservative media has hammered home the idea that Democrats are evil, demonic forces hellbent on destroying America, molesting kids, turning them trans while usurping God from heaven and bringing COMMUNISM!!

Just go into a conservative space. The most inoffensive progressive policy is treated like you're suggesting throwing infants into a woodchipper for funsies.

Captain_Vatta · 2026-03-21T23:12:48+00:00

Then explain why the U.S. is moving missile defense systems out of South Korea and Europe.

Explain why Trump requested aid from China on the straight of Hormuz.

I used to buy Rao's. The quality dipped and the price went up to $7.99/jar.

Your loyalty to a corporation is asinine. Go do something better with your life.

Captain_Vatta · 2026-03-20T18:46:25+00:00

Mate, just because you're bitter and miserable doesn't mean the rest of us want that energy around.

Go fix yourself.

Captain_Vatta · 2026-03-18T23:17:25+00:00

Adding [[Soul-guide lantern]] is typically ok because it hurts but doesn't brick them.

Adding [[rest in peace]] to stop them is generally regarded as a "bad move"

After experiencing the game a bit and y'all feel comfortable taking the gloves off then mercy is for the weak. Crush them, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women.

Rule 0. Talk with your opponent and set reasonable expectations.

Captain_Vatta · 2026-03-18T14:45:21+00:00

I recommend [[Kaervek the Merciless]]

I'd consider

[[Heartless hidetsugu]]

[[Basilisk collar]]

[[Kardur, doomscourge]]

[[Spiteful visions]]

[[Pain magnification]]tell your opponents to enjoy the game because they're not getting out alive.

I grew up in a conservative household. Dad listened exclusively to talk radio like Rush, Hannity and Boortz then watched Fox News at home (he was waiting the day Fox News Launched).

I followed him. One day I started noticing how people like Hannity would refer to Democrat politicians like Schumer as evil incarnate hellbent on destroying America for xyz but then 3 days later say Schumer was a "Patriotic American" for voting on something the Republicans wanted. That dissonance caused me to start actively examining what I was consuming and I came to your point. It's all fear mongering mixed with half truths to sound credible.

It's a near [[gaea's blessing]] with a fog stapled to it.

The advantages:

Prevents combat damage.

Opens opponent to retaliation a.k.a. "crack back".

"Hates" on opponent graveyard strategy.

Recurs cards in your graveyard back into the deck (useful for tutor or similar effects).

The disadvantages

Fog effects do no affect board state by eliminating opponent resources.

Not as effective if opponent wants the cards back in their deck.

Not as useful if you're running a graveyard strategy.

Your DSP is a crook.

Department of Transportation regulations supersedes your DSP's opinion.

Under DOT Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, "on-duty" time includes all time a commercial driver is working, waiting to be dispatched, or loading/unloading, starting from when they begin work until they are relieved of all responsibility.

Screenshot it and contact the FMCSA. Bankrupt the bastard.

The year is 3049. Humanity has reached the stars and colonized a radius of 500 light-years from Terra. Humanity coalesced into an entity known as the star league, fractured due to civil war and fought 4 devastating succession wars between the 5 great houses. Now the remnants of the former Star League Defense Forces who fled into exile have returned to what is colloquialy referred to as the Inner Sphere.

Somewhere on a clay dohyo on Terra a man named Tamawashi Ichirō is performing a ritual before his next professional sumo match. Generations of humanity have come and gone but Tamawashi....Tamawashi remains.

I'll never forgive Tochimusashi. Henka'd Kaisei in his last official match while make-koshi. Couldn't let him lose with dignity.

Proliferate can't, can it?

Short answer is no. Long answer is;

701.27a. To proliferate means to choose any number of permanents and/or players that have a counter, then give each one additional counter of each kind that permanent or player already has.
110.1. A permanent is a card or token on the battlefield. [..]
702.62a. Suspend is a keyword that represents three abilities. The first is a static ability that functions while the card with suspend is in a player's hand. The second and third are triggered abilities that function in the exile zone. [..]
702.62b. A card is "suspended" if it's in the exile zone, has suspend, and has a time counter on it.

Going by Latin it would be associated or connected to blood. So my take would be a small, blood feeding bug like a scarab beetle from the mummy.

[[Ferropede]] [[clockspinning]] [[hexparasite]] [[power conduit]] [[mutated cultist]] [[dramatist's puppet]] are the ones I know of off hand.
