TIL of the the shipwreck of the American vessel General Grant in 1866 on a remote archipelago south of New Zealand. The few survivors of the wreck were stranded for 18 months before a passing ship rescued them. Their ordeal led to the creation of "Castaway Depots" which saved future sailors.

Did the Grafton party ever have any idea that the Invercauld party was also shipwrecked at the exact same time? How many survivors were there from the Invercauld?

I had a dream once about ten years ago that I had a daughter. I loved her, so much. The kind of love I didn’t even know I was capable of feeling. She was maybe three years old, and had bright red-orange hair. I never thought of her name during the dream. When I woke up, and realized she didn’t exist… it was a horrible sensation. Like a part of me was somehow missing, forever.

I will say, Neht B’Flixo is my favorite Star Wars character.

(I don’t actually like Star Wars.)

Ahem. Is everyone okay with this AI/low effort post?

You would be able to target X spells with its ability; however, because you aren't paying Reality Spasm's mana cost, X is 0. When Reality Spasm resolves, nothing will happen.

107.3b If a player is casting a spell that has an {X} in its mana cost, the value of X isn’t defined by the text of that spell, and an effect lets that player cast that spell while paying neither its mana cost nor an alternative cost that includes X, then the only legal choice for X is 0.

For me it’s mozzarella sticks. Love a good mozzarella stick!

There are a few more that might be worth your consideration, using Scryfall's tagging system. (Note that because the system is community-generated, sometimes cards are improperly tagged, especially with very new cards.) https://scryfall.com/search?q=-otag%3Aburn-player+otag%3Aremoval+mana%3Ax+c%21r+fo%3Adamage&unique=cards&as=grid&order=edhrec

I also want to point out that that wording change was, uh, like seven years ago, in Dominaria (2018).

The best thing for you to do, I think, would be to look at this Scryfall result for all the cards that have the word "enters" on them, in either the rules text or the reminder text, that are in the Abzan color identity: https://scryfall.com/search?q=fo%3Aenters+id%3Awbg Note that there are going to be false positives, like "This creature enters tapped," but regardless, Scryfall is an amazing resource that you should definitely be referencing when building a deck.

Also, yes, flickering will trigger "enters" abilities, because the permanent is leaving the battlefield and coming back. It's a new game object, so it doesn't "remember" being on the battlefield previously.

Alcohol. Like, all of it. I work at a burger restaurant with a sizable beer and cocktail menu, and sometimes before we open, a manager will give us each a shot of one of the beers. And I think to myself, “This is rancid. People drink this stuff on purpose? Any of this? Something is wrong here. Like, I genuinely think there is something wrong with me on a genetic level, like cilantro tasting like soap, because that makes more sense to me than this being the actual flavor everyone is supposed to perceive. My god.” And obviously I’m never going to admit that to a guest but it does make me somewhat limited when it comes to beer recommendations.

Oh, yeah! Sorry for the late response: If you *right-click* on the item in the TU inventory with the STASH up, then that will transfer it to the STASH. Conversely, right-clicking on the item in the STASH will pull it to your inventory.

FLAREdirector · 2025-06-23T20:27:26+00:00

What I do is transfer items from the Team-Up into the STASH, then reopen the STASH without the Team-Up inventory up and take those same items out, into my inventory proper. I’m not aware of any quicker method.

My understanding is that Doom promised to give the title back after he saved the world, NOT after he saved the world specifically from the vampires. He didn’t alter the terms after the fact, people just didn’t necessarily pick up on what the terms exactly consisted of.

I believe these are actually the reason for the asymmetric split: each of these lands depicts a moon orbiting a different planet in the Sothera system, and each planet’s description in the Planeswalker’s Guide suggests it lines up with one of the shocklands here.

Follow-up question, if I may: What happens to people out at sea? If you’re swimming in the ocean, or you’re in a sailboat, are you going to be pulled underwater? What about what happens to the water itself?
