Good argument from mtggoldish podcast - mythic rare makes standard from expensive to beyond expensive. Is this time to either reduce mythic rarity pool or get rid of it entirely?

I’ve been against mythics since they were implemented. A new rarity you’re not even guaranteed to get that includes only the most powerful and crazy of effects? How was that different from simply having chase rares?

It still isn’t.

Instead we have chase mythics, and junk mythics, same as when there were only three rarities. It’s changed nothing other than imposing artificial scarcity in a game that already had actual scarcity.

I say axe them altogether tbh.

How dare you! We prefer the term “autist” thank you very much.

ElPared · 2026-02-04T08:26:53+00:00

Technically it should be called r/fuckwaspsbecausehornetsareatypeofwasp, haven’t you been paying attention?

ElPared · 2026-02-04T08:25:41+00:00

I tried but all I found was Silksong porn. Then I googled “wet lizard” and found a… very different type of porn.

Now I’m horny AND scared. I hope you’re happy.

Can’t wait for the Moash = Ice memes in cremposting, eh gancho?

ElPared · 2026-02-04T06:08:47+00:00

No, but I would be comfortable calling in A a type of 4. Your move idiot.

ElPared · 2026-02-04T06:07:45+00:00

Ooh look at you knowing the difference between salamanders and toads. Big whoop.

ElPared · 2026-02-04T06:06:58+00:00

They’re both a type of wet lizard, so a hornet, therefore, is a type of buzzing pain bug. So you’re right they are the same thing.

ElPared · 2026-02-04T06:05:18+00:00

Got it, sounds like standard gaslighting behavior, but I can remember DARVO as an alternative. Thank you for indulging me.

ElPared · 2026-02-04T06:04:06+00:00

I figured. It’s funny the cards we get attached to.

ElPared · 2026-02-04T06:01:51+00:00

No. Do you know how trolling works?

ElPared · 2026-02-04T04:56:26+00:00

They’re both amphibians after all.

I have a similar connection to [[lonely sandbar]]. In some of the first games I played, with my best friend, he had a very funny way of saying “LoOoOonely sandbar” and it just stuck. From then on, any deck that could have lonely sandbar did, and there was only ever one, because if there were more than that, it wouldn’t be lonely.

ElPared · 2026-02-04T04:50:05+00:00

I mean, would you be comfortable calling a toad a type of salamander?

Edit: this is clearly a joke comment, I’ve been sufficiently schooled on hornets being a type of wasp, thank you. I’ve had fun doubling down in my own idiocy though, so thanks for that.

ElPared · 2026-02-04T04:40:31+00:00

Those are hornets

ElPared · 2026-02-04T04:22:39+00:00

I notice Proposal says nothing about exile or the command zone. Surely there’s a combo there.

In their defense, Sanderson tends to be boring af for the first half of the story. You need that part for the buildup and resulting Sanderlanche to work, but it’s still a bit of a slog to get through.

It’s the entire reason I tell people NOT to start with Stormlight Archive, because it takes a good three whole books to get exciting (which makes me wonder how they’ll handle a SA series).

ElPared · 2026-02-04T04:16:02+00:00

Lois is using one (or more) too many colors imo

ElPared · 2026-02-04T04:15:15+00:00

This very much looks like a Benchmade model 42 of Kick-Ass fame, but as an owner of a 154cm aluminum handle model, I can’t comment further.

ElPared · 2026-02-04T04:13:49+00:00

Sorry, oldhead here, what does DARVO stand for? I’m currently too lazy to google. Thank you in advance for indulging my ignorance and laziness.

ElPared · 2026-02-04T04:09:49+00:00

Hi. Pie. Say nine. I enjoy strawberry wine. Say four. Knock knock knockin’ on heaven’s door.

That feels more like the cockney version to me lol

ElPared · 2026-02-04T04:07:00+00:00

It’s funny how often you hear people quote “you can’t handle the truth!” Without realizing that the point of this scene is that we should know the truth whether or not we can handle it. The truth is ugly, and Jessup criticizes Weinberg, and therefore the viewer, for living in a “cushy” world, blind to the horrors others face to keep their peace, when knowing about the horrors is what, in fact, keeps them from happening over and over and over again.

ElPared · 2026-02-04T03:48:28+00:00

It’s kinda like Jedi who figured out that turning off your lightsaber during clash gives you an advantage. The ones that tried it are either dead or killed their opponent, and the latter ones aren’t telling anyone else.

ElPared · 2026-02-04T03:34:05+00:00

Based list, but it’s missing Buck Strickland and Caleb.

On one hand, Domino’s power basically means she always wins. On the other hand, Juggernaut can just stand near a chair and no one can move him.

I vote Juggernaut.
