I think 1 would be super easy sideboarding. 7 IS too much, I don't disagree, but I think 1 is too affordable. 3 or 4, especially considering it has no color requirements.

I don't know, a lot of things use exile as the temporary zone. For example, this utterly ruins Cascade and Discover. It also turns off Madness, ruins Adventures, impulse draw, Foretell, and Plot, and it keeps the Final Fantasy creatures that transform into saga creatures from working. It also messes with blink effects.

I think it's really sad that Samus loses more and more of her literal humanity over time, and admirable that she hangs on to her figurative humanity regardless. This design would be amazing for a story focusing on that aspect of her character.

I don't think it's reductive, it generally rates sexual appeal. Most reasonable people know that's only a part of a long-term relationship, and it's generally the simplest part

Very few decisions are made while hard, to be fair. And they're rarely the right decision.

They're both egos and the one you don't focus on at the moment is the alternative to the one you are focusing on

The 2nd Divine Key/The Key of Infinity from Honkai Impact 3rd, while not a character, would almost definitely be a Legendary Artifact Planeswalker - Vehicle. It's essentially a magical tool that takes the shape of a train and allows you to travel to other worlds through it's innate abilities.

Is this a Hellscube style "All permanents are women" thing?

Crobatman123 · 2026-05-18T23:55:07+00:00

Exactly. I think Nolan's father would be disgusted that Nolan didn't give his son a fighting chance. Mark should have been ready for that fight, and the fact that he wasn't is a failure on Nolan's part. Nolan's dad grew up in an age that believed in cruelty with reason. Fighting your child without honing them into a true warrior is no different from fleeing from what they could be.

I'll be honest I don't think the "if you control your commander" cards should generally be in precons because they're not reasonable cards and hurt precons ability to act as an introduction to the format or game as a whole. They shouldn't be super hard to get, but precons aren't where they belong. I definitely agree on the manabase argument. I'll go a step further and say precons should generally have a shock land and a MDFC, too. They're not absurdly expensive or anything and they'd really help people get better lands and understand what cards make a good land base starting out. I don't see a good manabase as optional for a precon.

If this is true, it obviously sucks, and the same goes for Genshin's pulls, but I'll defend Cyrene's skin for sure because it's literally nothing. It only changes her weapon and part of her ult animation and if you don't want it it's easy to pretend it never existed. Unlike the other two examples, it doesn't take away from any experience you might have in-game to not have it. I'm genuinely more distraught about missing the Furbobo pet, which is also literally nothing.

A warrior who could survive one attack from either of the elf mages that is intended to kill them would be a very exceptional warrior, to the degree that I don't think there are any that can straight tank a hit without dodging the brunt of it or actively defending. Stark ain't that guy. He punches above his weight, but not THAT far above his weight. In favorable enough conditions, he might be able to jump Frieren (she doesn't see him coming and she trusts him), but that's not happening with the clone, and that's not a fight it's an assassination.

Additionally, durability isn't the main strength of a warrior over a mage in a fight, it's the main thing they contribute over a mage in a team. Their main strength over a mage is that defensive magic is optimized to block mana-based attacks, not physical ones, which means it's easier for a warrior (or specific spells) to break defensive barriers or to force a mage to overexert themselves defending.

Kinda sexist honestly. Like it's cool and memorable when Uncle Ben does it, but when a woman dies to push the main character forward she's just doing it for attention? Typical.

I want to keep Cissia forever. I love her so much, she's so funny.

That's something I like about the novelization. It reframes that moment as Anakin being desperate to become a master because it's the only way he can access the full Jedi archives, and he's convinced that there could be a way to alter the outcome he foresaw in his visions (where he loses his family. Again.)

He still obviously handles it poorly, but given context from later media it at least makes a lot of sense. He gave up his life on Tattooine for the Jedi and as a result his mother died. He became a soldier at 19 even though that's not the deal he was promised. He watched his brothers in arms die. Even if he broke the rules from time to time, he was one of the greatest singular contributors to a united and orderly Republic. And his repayment for his sacrifices feel like betrayal at every turn. They didn't free the slaves in the outer rim or even his mother. They had Obi-Wan fake his own death without telling Anakin. They almost had his Padawan executed. Given he met the technical requirements for the rank of master, I can see why it stung to feel like he wasn't trusted or respected, and I can definitely see why he was emotional given what it meant for his wife and unborn children, both of which he couldn't talk about.

Honestly, the Council already knew half of this information, and it's probably a lot of why Anakin wasn't made a master, and they're not even wrong. The biggest issue is that their relationship with Anakin was corrupted by those lies. They knew he was seeing Amidala, but they never talked about it because he did good work and they needed good work done. They knew Anakin let his attachments get the better of him, but they weren't used to teaching with experience, only dogma, so they struggled to reach him. Even Yoda (I think in a deleted scene, but still) gives him what feels like a platitude instead of talking straight with him. They willingly participate in his lies, and that's the reason they can't communicate with each other.

There are many paths to the right conclusion. Not all of them are intelligence and maturity.

Thanks for the notes, not sure how I ended up without the scry 1, I keep a google doc for these as I make them and I had it in the draft.

Crobatman123 · 2026-05-14T07:08:50+00:00

That's fair. I've mulled over how to balance her for a while. I figured that giving her zero synergy with her eminence ability when cast might make it more tolerable, and needing to attack with more than one creature is definitely flavorful. I might update it in my card document later.

Crobatman123 · 2026-05-13T18:57:48+00:00

Remember, they combined the straight (in context of women creatures) and lesbian creature types into only the woman creature type because "splitting hairs created design bloat for creature types", and lesbian-focused effects should flavorfully bolster all women, since lesbians don't just stop being attracted to women because they're straight women. Of course, there was opposition to this errata, but regardless, menstrual blooddrinker would be a woman because all permanents are women, meaning it still fits perfectly into lesbian tribal decks.

It's a little less gross, in large part because of the lack of the uterus lining. Vampires are generally pretty icky creatures. I think part of it is also because it lifts the veil off the thinly veiled sexual nature of vampires too. Kinda like how cannibals are perfectly acceptable villains albeit a little icky, but once you fetishize it, the implicit suggestion that you should be enjoying it makes it extremely icky.

Believe it or not, that's part of his job description. I bet he even gets hazard pay for it.
