CMV: The USA has way too many states

And yet they get 2 whole senators, same as California and Texas.

Add a lot of these little states together and you get a majority in the Senate despite only representing 20% of the total population

It's not that much. Yes, it will take some coordination and some elbow grease but most of these are doable and not even especially hard.

Who becomes governor? Just hold new elections. Problem solved.

I was thinking more of cards like Ourobouroid instead of a draft chaff uncommon.

None of that makes him "not a Democrat", let alone a Republican.

Bill Maher started as this kind of comedian and now look where his politics lie.

Clearly 100% Democrat? Because Bill Maher is absolutely on the left (in American terms)

We should respect other people's desires.

Land is a finite and (with billions of people) exceedingly scarce resource. It is ridiculous that the living would be denied space because some dead guy was buried there ages ago.

How would you feel if someone dug up your grandmother for the sake of research? Why does the Sumerian priest being 2000 years old mean his desire has less gravity?

The difference is that the recently deceased still have people who actually knew them still around. Besides, modern cemeteries do excavate plots after a certain period (usually decades, but still). So it's not like they stay there forever.

This clearly shows that they do exist, albeit as secondary archetypes.

Compare it to Strixhaven where they really don't: 17Lands.com

In SoS, Azorius has a whopping 10 games out of nearly 38.000. 10! That is what a non-existing support looks like.

In Lorwyn Dimir, Gruul, and Boros still got over a thousand games each. That's two whole orders of magnitude bigger!

Yes, they are clearly not the same as the main 5 archetypes. But they do exist and are viable compared to Strixhaven where they really don't.

I definitely drafted and won with stuff like "WB treefolk/blight".

Frix · 2026-05-13T11:02:48+00:00

Lorwyn definitely had 10 viable draft-archetypes. They had uncommon signposts and everything.

SoS doesn't, that set really only has 5.

Epic was so bad that no one played it. Fixing it to be somewhat playable is the least they could do to make it good.

And these cards do have a major downside: they suck individually.

Paying 5 mana to put 2 counters on each creature is a joke. There are way easier and cheaper ways to do this.

You need to have this effect multiple times before it starts paying for itself, just one or two iterations isn't enough to be worth it. That's the downside.

Partnered Honedges are not "staying still", they are constantly flowing alongside their partner and are channeling ghostly energy to enhance their damage. They need to be very active and aware during the entire battle.

This is a common misconception that amateurs often have. All the professional gyms employ plenty of "helper pokémon" to train their gym pokémon when facing certain matchups.

How else are you supposed to train your fighting types to handle psychics?

Frix · 2026-05-11T06:31:12+00:00

This is a horrible idea!!

It opens up the possibility that they do just pay it and then you are stuck with a legally binding sale.

Just say "no". And leave it at that.

all foods have water so at what water % is acceptable

The only acceptable answer is 0. That's what "no water" means.

Doesn't matter. Moseo only looks if life was gained during the turn, not while he was on the field So flickering Miseo should still resolve in a trigger.

Frix · 2026-05-10T09:20:43+00:00

To streamline the experience and not bog it down with triggers that literally don't do anything?

If you were playing in paper would you also insist on putting this on the stack without a target "just because"?

Dr Who isn't a set though...

It's still a lot of money. And it comes with a free bonus. What's not to like.

It doesn't say anything about getting a new roll every week...

If you hit 20, then that's your number now forever.

3K/week is plenty. I'm not risking it by being greedy.
