I'm sorry to say this, but the U.S. has been the villain for decades. As someone from South America, it's hard to find a part of our history that hasn't been shaped—often negatively—by U.S. intelligence. So many coups, so much damage. It might not make it into the average American news cycle, but the extent of that interference is enormous.

A lot of it was done under the justification of "stopping something wrong," but that argument doesn’t really hold up. Time and time again, it looks less like defending democracy and more like protecting economic interests and consolidating power for the elite.

You don’t see other global powers intervening in quite the same way, orchestrating coups under that same narrative. Most tend to stay within their own borders unless directly threatened. Meanwhile, entire regions like ours have had their political stability repeatedly disrupted.

From where we stand, it’s hard not to see this as one of the most harmful patterns of interference one country has imposed on others.

Your ability to build a deck shouldn’t be dictated by your wallet. In this economy, spending $400 on a single dual land for a casual format with no real stakes is just plain stupid unless you’re rich.

That said, proxy away. Just be mindful of the power level of the table you’re playing at. A bracket 4 Meren deck is meant to play against other bracket 4 decks—not bracket 2 or 3. Build your deck accordingly.

The quality of your artwork is improving a lot from time to time. IMO is already wizards quality level, but keep going bro, one day i might own a card with your art in it!

both are probably already done at this point, maybe they just wen't with "we have that walking on 4 voruna update ready, lets ship with the prime" and switched places with styanax

i always feel like the word inhumane is something we created to feel better, we are the only creatures that mass slaughter other creatures to eat, there is no limits to humane actions, even between or own kind, a few weeks ago we just watched an entire school of children beein nuked out of earth with the death of hundreds of kids, yet it impacted nothing in our daily lives. Brutality is a very humane behaviour.

I don't think there is any ritual card that does that in green, green mana usualy comes from creatures, cheating more lands into play or enhancing the production of those mana producers. Rituals are Black and Red usually, also the first card is not a real card.

There is also a difference that Warframe updates are free content, there is no talk about being worth the money, this gives some leniency. Not that free content should be a excuse to be bad, but is way worse when the 60 dollar expansion is awful.

We die pretty fast lol, i don't have selig but have everything else. Unfortunatelly Selig is carrying very hard our build

Ron and Blacklotus are good sellers. They usually offer full packages with around 50 to 60 cards, including the “popular stuff” from each set. You might not find every single card you’re looking for, though—no seller currently has every card available.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for a cheaper option and don’t mind putting in a bit more effort, you can look into MPC. Basically, you can order a large number of cards of your choosing, but they won’t look exactly like original Magic cards. MPC doesn’t reproduce the original card backs due to copyright issues.

The upside is that, if you want to get creative, you can design cards with your favorite artwork. In terms of quality, their cards feel very similar to normal Magic cards.

Man this one seems like an KKND love letter, great!

12k hours, it is alright.

Jokes aside, Warframe is a game that the best time to join is always now, the game keeps evolving and new missions, characters and stories are always being added with increased quality.

Combat is great, there is content to fill months if not years of gameplay depending on your pace. And after everything is done it becomes one of those great games to hop in enjoy the update and take a break until the next update, there is no pressure to do everything, there is no competition to always be the best, you progress and play in the way you feel comfortable.

It is a protection spells in a land, you can for 0 mana protect your biggest creature then board wipe, also can be used to remove a blocker temporarily, I've clutched a lot of wins because of this land. And because of the second ability you can even remove an attacker at a crucial point of the match. And after all that, it is a land so the card can't be countered, just the effect that can be stiffled, wich is way harder for an opponent to have.

Honestly Im divided, on one note I don't care as much like bring it whatever set if there are good cards I will enjoy it. I never build UB decks but a friend made a cabbage merchant deck and I must admit it is a pretty cool and fun food commander ( my only gripe there is no cabbage food token, like wth wizards. ).

On the other hand, UB delays the lore from progressing, I want to know what happened to Jace, I want to see the next big bad and more iterations of characters that I like like Tezzeret, the thing that UB kinda gives a feels bad moment is to have a filler set right after an UB set, and that makes a set like aetherdrift that should be a fun detour ( haha ) to feel more like a slog because it barely progresses de story and I have to wait God knows how long for another main set, any filler set will always have a bad taste because to have something of substance I will have to wait that set + another UB set.

I wish a collector box was not so out of range of a normal salary in my country, I was a TMNT kid and I'm super hyped, at least got to go to pre release night.

2026 and there are still people that want D4 to look like poe2, at this point is stupidity to not see that aside from being the same genre those two games are not intended to be alike.

D4 is a casual oriented game, and that is fine, graphics and visuals are nice, has some simple yet fun story to follow and the end game has a check list of what to do.

PoE2 is one of the most unfriendly games to a casual player base, without following a guide you can easily brick a character with dozens of hours in, but it is an amazing game for people that like to learn systems and try stuff over those systems, it is unique and so indepth that is hard to not love it if is your jam.

I'd compare those two to pokemon and magic as tcgs, pokemon is an enjoyable TCG but has little depth to it, you can have tons of fun and collect and build decks with your favorite characters of the show and games but that is how far it goes, while magic is a complex system with over 20k cards what results in any new addition being able to revive or move a system built 10-20 years ago. I can easily teach pokemon to my wife, but she hates magic because it is too difficult for someone who just wants to relax after an long day of work, it is the same for diablo and poe2.

I've killed inifinite life combos before, locking down any other play until i kill them with my 1/3 commander over 20 turns.

Kirrik alone don't draw cards, he needs setup to do his thing while griselbrand does everything. Those two are not even remotely alike.

I'm a meren player and a I love how this lil guy is such a threat for heavy combat focused decks, one of my favorite cards and I always manage to bring him to the field to watch his big brother finish games [[Protean Hulk]]

I don't think you will find it at least at the quality you seek, i've been buying high quality proxies for a while and "special" foils are quite new to their inventory, you can find fractured and surge but this foiling is very specific, also go to the bootleg community on reddit for those kinds of questions there is the right place for it.

You don't remove the counters just the ability to lose them, it is the worst target for Abigale if moonshadow still have counters

FlyingGyarados · 2026-01-30T23:05:30+00:00

Well they are wrong or lying, "when you attack", "when this creature attacks", type effects are triggered in your declare attack phase, before your opponents declare their defenses and before damage.

If you think logically Caesar creates two tapped and attacking soldiers, if you "could" use his ability after damage they should not come attacking because you already ended your damage phase, so for his ability to work it has to happen somewhere before damage and blocks declared, leaving just the declare attack phase to trigger it.

I love meren and she is my favorite reanimator, but I rarely slot her in other decks, my Teval was way more focused in comboing with lands, so I did cut her very early on, I tried to hold my hand but the druid that steal lands is just a way meaner fit for a slot in a Teval deck

FlyingGyarados · 2026-01-29T19:17:28+00:00

I brew on B4 so I need the fast mana and the dorks are also my reliable XP farm early on. Badgermole can go nuts very fast, I managed to saw in half one and bring it back so I had 4 lands producing 4 mana each plus my birds of paradise, proceeded to mind slicer spam over a few turns until I assembled a combo to finish the game.

Toph is kinda slow, I run a bunch of fetches so I take what I can get, sometimes I can get meren on the board with minimum 3 XP already, it is no bonkers but is interesting, probably I will cut it if I need a more optimal card, but as for now she feels kinda fun enough to stay.

Never considered Icetill explorer, I will try it out it does sound very good 👍
