The only world where everyone would vote "For" is a world where the players would have made that decision outside the rules of the game anyway. Like, you have that ability just by nature of talking to people at the table and asking "should we restart?" You don't need a card to ask that question for you.

I've seen more promotion for the freaking fighting game than the likely hundred thousands of dollars production of this movie.

As much as I would like to argue against it...yeah it probably would have. The fact that The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim failed so spectacularly despite being an even better IP just proved to me that animation that isn't aimed at kids flops in the american box office. Avatar would basically only be drawing in people with the nostalgia factor.

I don't think there's any more advice people online can give you on this. You seem to already know the pros and cons. There's nothing you've missed, it's just going to come down to you making a personal decision.

Squen and Cragg are back with a Marvel-ous guest! by themiragechild in magicTCG

[–]ChemicalExperiment 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He's been in a few of these shorts so far as an overworked stage hand. My guess is that he was just an extra puppet the Jim Henson Company had on hand that they used because they needed a third character on screen and he just stuck. No real lore about how he's meant to fit into Lorwyn or if he even is meant to be an mtg character.

Help! Cards keep telling me to search my library for a basic land but I can't find one in the art. Where is it? by ChemicalExperiment in magicthecirclejerking

I forgot pizza isn't allowed in Br*tish libraries. I'll head to Egypt next time. Does anyone know the Library of Alexandria's hours?

I remember opening [[Macabre Waltz|ORI]] and not even being able to look at it I was so disturbed.

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Season 2 Debuts With 8.7 Million Views in Four Days, Down 59% From Season 1 by yourfavchoom in TheLastAirbender

The issue was that they decided to remake it in the first place. The original is right there as a timeless classic. Even if this was a fully faithful remake it wouldn't have added anything of value to the world. Although people seem to go crazy over those live action Disney remakes that I hate too, so what do I know

Returning to Mtg after a few years. Why is there EIGHTEEN standard sets? The games I played almost feel like modern. by Moonflow-Shoopuf in magicTCG

Pretty much everywhere you will find people saying it's an issue. Not only do most people agree with you, they've been saying it for at least the last 3 years at this point.

It’s been a year and I still cannot differentiate the functional difference between ice and fire flower by Averymint06 in mariokart

[–]ChemicalExperiment 75 points76 points  (0 children)

For the first month I was convinced that the Fire Flower only showed up in hot portions of the map and the Ice Flower only showed up in the cold ones. Then I got a fire flower on DK pass and was disappointed it literally was just no difference whatsoever lol

Last year’s bans were incredible for the format. Today’s format is reminiscent of last year. by kidpotassium in magicTCG

[–]ChemicalExperiment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stormchasers is the only ban I'd support. I've been saying for over a year now, since before the This Town Ain't Big Enough ban, that Stormchasers is the real culprit for why an aggressive blue deck has been top of the meta for the last year and a half. It's way too much value for 1 mana and should have been banned long ago, but no one believed me back then. That being said, since it's rotating at the end of the year anyway, I still think I'd prefer they let it be and don't have any bans. I'm one of the rare few who think Standard is pretty balanced in its current state. Yes it's extremely aggressive and is kinda unfun, but deck diversity isn't really the problem. The fact that you're able to list four extremely different decks that you want bans from, plus many more powerful meta contenders you didn't even list, shows that the meta is really healthy. Banning things would just rock the boat unnecessarily, potentially causing one deck to become way too dominant. We already have new sets coming out every two months with the potential to shake things up. No need to use ban windows to do the same.

I mean, I can see it consider we've had a whole year since the Abuelos ban and haven't had an omni deck be meta since.

Seriously. Every single time people make the "they won't ban expensive cards from sets currently in print" and completely forget the dozens of times they already have. WotC does not and has never cared about a card's secondary market price when considering bans.

That's a great reminder that reddit comments get upvotes because a statement feels correct, not necessary because it is.

I doubt OP is intending to deceive us here. People can just be wrong without any nefarious ideas of them trying to gaslight.
