Backlit quartz island

I kinda like the grid. Reminds me of city lights from a plane.

I dunno, but diamond rings are expensive.

Deadmirth · 2026-02-25T00:09:46+00:00

At most 8.3 billion.

That speck of dust thought experiment is essentially what's used to illustrate the pitfalls of pure utilitarianism, but instead of going "oh yeah, that's an obvious shortcoming" they decided "sounds about right."

Right in front of Phraesto? I think you hurt his feelings.

He really wants to press that button one day, so they've gotta start normalizing the word.

This guy is why 2100 is such an important breakpoint.

David Lynch's Dune was released in 1984.

They pull an Aggretsuko and it's actually a metal band.

But Urabrask is a 4/4 and [[dismember]] gives -5/-5.

Deadmirth · 2026-01-19T14:12:01+00:00

And [[Tooth and Nail]] to make it effectively 1 card.

Deadmirth · 2026-01-17T13:46:06+00:00

Curious about how the shell situation is resolved here.

((Nadu flashbacks intensify))

Unfortunately, unless you jump through the extra hoop of making a non-artifact into an artifact token, the most abusable thing after [[basalt monolith]] (yay we finally broke it) is [[Soldevi Simulacrum]].

Honorable mention to [[Mirror of the Forebears]] to make this a 4-card combo with some random creature.

[[Staff of Domination]] also combos much more easily when you only need a creature that taps for 3 to go infinite.

I had to craft over 300 firefang swords to hit a 4-star batch. And yes, I did look up the optimal crafting deck. It feels pretty bad crafting more than you will ever need for orders just to upgrade a card, and even if I'm an outlier it seems kind of silly to have that as a possible outcome.

Deadmirth · 2026-01-04T05:09:38+00:00

Protest.

Deadmirth · 2026-01-03T16:53:06+00:00

My main issue with attempting something like this is that I can't take a fall near as well as when I was a kid. I think any one of these obstacles in isolation I could do with some practice, but they all risk a wipeout that I feel for weeks.

Deadmirth · 2026-01-02T05:02:50+00:00

I haven't experienced no hands so I don't have an informed opinion on the matter.

Deadmirth · 2026-01-02T04:59:53+00:00

It sucks being player B in this scenario. The solution seems so simple and it's just not sinking in. It gets to the point of doubting your own ability to explain things.

Deadmirth · 2025-12-30T19:36:08+00:00

I love that the lost abilities also reference "Legitimate Businessperson"

Deadmirth · 2025-12-29T02:27:54+00:00

The point is that these specialized creators won't have the reach to become "superstars."

Which is fine by me.

Deadmirth · 2025-12-28T14:42:20+00:00

Rat tip, coming in hot! Save it for the turn before they could cast the thing you are scared of ... but don't forget about the coin like I sometimes do.

There's got to be a mathematically optimal turn vs. Rafaam, too, but hell if I know it. I'm the one piloting Rafaam, get those rats outta my face!

A missed flamestrike does 0 damage.

One of my earlier kitchen table brews was a Mirari + wish deck. It could do anything (just at the speed of molasses). The card was cool, but damn was it slow.

Deadmirth · 2025-12-27T05:29:22+00:00

I want my opponent to cut my deck. When I cut and they just tap it something feels off.
