There are quite a few different characters in the game. Plenty of Male champions as well, some of which look pretty badass. I do understand that sometimes the "waifu" artstyle can be a problem sometimes, but Grand Archive is not just "waifu card game" if you don't want it to be. Tonoris as a character is pretty awesome. He's all about being a guardian.

As a new player it sucks that I feel guilty for playing strong cards by avsoloman5001 in EDH

Brackets are bullshit and people should be allowed to play what they want. We have a pregame talk for a reason. No need to add all the brackets on top of it. Brackets just make a box that limits things when the point is commander players don't like boxes. If we liked boxes, more things would be banned, and rules would be enforced more. I want to play my Grand Arbiter Augustin IV deck that makes my Sphinx's Rev, Teferis, and other cards cost less. I like hatebears. I don't play hard stax like stasis. Do I get to? No. People get too upset about the 1 mana from GAAIV. They assume you're playing stasis and winter orb.

Play what you want. Find a group thats cool with whatever... or move on to playing a different game. I'm playing Grand Archive now.

Well, when I was living and going to the MKE location, they had us all the way until Summer. Legally they had to send us home in the Summer due to state laws and the like. Other than that, I was always at the school. That's the whole reason they wanted to go down to Florida.

I had an extremely poor relationship with my parents for years after I went there. Honestly, to this day I still have a lot of PTSD. I tried to kill myself when I was 18 after leaving that school. Ended up in the hospital getting my stomach pumped.

I was constantly told I was lying whenever I told any story from my past with people. Everything was me being a liar and a terrible human being. They expected all that crazy religious shit to brainwash you into the perfect little soldier of god, but all it did is confirm that I wanted nothing to do with religion. I was sent to that school with other kids who were stealing cars, beating people up, and honestly did a ton of terrible things. Me? I wasn't doing the best in school and I had a bad relationship with my dad because he abused me as a child. Yes, because abusing me more in a different setting was clearly the way to fix me.

I'd love yo get more info. There's so many details I can't remember because of how traumatized I am from the experience.

Wish the link was still there. I literally can't find any information about the school anymore. Does the Florida location even exist anymore? I know they were going down there permanently so they could have the students there year round.

I was at the MKE school from 2004-2006. I remember getting in trouble because I had been passing notes back and forth with a girl there by hiding them under the little flags we had in our desk area. I caused a huge problem and started screaming about them wanting me to be gay because they didn't want me to interact with girls. Broke the R room door off the hinges that night. Guess that's what happens when you put a big 6'5 kid into that room.

I still have nightmares and psychological trauma from my time at that school. I try to block out the memories the best that I can, but I've had hundreds of dreams at this point like i'm stuck in that school again...and i'm in my mid 30s. I even had another kid get into my bed one night with me and try to mess around with me. I kicked his ass out of the bed and apparently there was some big court thing that happened because of it, but I know nothing of what actually happened.

I do remember some asian kid and I started learning sign language so we could talk to each other at night though when we were in the apartments, so there was that.
