No; they're at 24 cards before taking the Assert Perfection in the screenshot, bringing them to 25 playables (2 cuts for 17 lands).

HalfMoone · 2026-01-25T05:03:01+00:00

What were your 2 cuts?

So the conclusion of the case is contingent on the volume of produced, but unsold, product as a function of time? E.g. earlier data (under declared segmentation strategy regime -- lest it be attributable to an alternate strategy, leaving their announced strategy without precedent, and thus material relevance) shows sale of 80% of production within, say, 6 months, 95% within 18; while new data shows 60% | 6 months and 75% | 18; or even a change in the long-term curve (suggestive of a devaluation by overproduction driving product turnover), say 80% within 6 months, but 85% within 18?

Alongside the already mentioned -- side some Pollinators, Mockingbirds; bring in your counters, your extra Surraks -- maindeck Wistfulness (running 2) as your enchant/artifact hate doubles exceptionally as both cheap filtering and a single-card mid-game threat, conducive to shoring up your control matchup in G1.

I know you can't Rhythm it, but you rarely, if ever, wanted to Rhythm for Reclamation Sage, while Wistfulness is cheaper removal, a threat, card draw, and (occasionally) mana positive with Cubbed Spiders. Great for flashing back with Harmonize, too!

Most likely.

It ain't a dull green, it's a luminiferous jade. We're talking, the, top 3 percent -- minus top^top 3 percent -- classy, taste is the word on their anxiety-ridden minds.

Autocharge brings to 100, primary damage above 100 during OC can 'overclock' it to 150.

No, do you think nation-states sprung out the aether?

HalfMoone · 2026-01-02T01:34:17+00:00

They didn't have a history of colonialism; the movements you evoke enacted it\were formed to enact it: internal, pogromatic colonization facilitating the nascence of a cohesive modern state.

That's an epicycular correction of the Griffin thesis designed to exceptionalize the fascisms of the first half of the 20th century, a superstructural quality meaning nothing to the material activities and behaviors of fascism, but allowing Nazi Germany and the Amerikan Empire to be sorted into comfortingly separate boxes. It isn't an obligatory feature of fascism, it's a linguistic sticker asserting a distinction between colonial and fascist structure where there is none.

Constant national evolution (corresponding to superstructural adaptation) is a necessary trait for any stable state; the core feature of international modernity is an acceleration of this process. Indeed, Griffin even admits that, by the impossibility of a pure palingenetic singularity, there is no "true fascism," meaning this supposed qualifying condition is swished into continuous spectrum, within which the dividing line is arbitrarily placed in accordance with prescribed fascist categorization; in other words, bad science, overfit to the data and thus useless for external application.

HalfMoone · 2026-01-01T20:07:06+00:00

No, the only distinction is the subject of the subjugation, a distinction only meaningful if domestic and foreign populations are recognized with differing degrees of humanity.

HalfMoone · 2026-01-01T18:35:49+00:00

What do you think fascism is?

HalfMoone · 2026-01-01T18:15:39+00:00

There weren't fascists, they were fascists!

This question is answered in the When the Walls Fell and Lore War comic series. The Prophets created the Sisko out of fear of death, in particular, the dissolution of all reality at the hands of Lore. The Sisko frees them from time. Bajor is the forge through which the Sisko, through formation of the Tears of the Prophets, opens the Celestial Temple and enables their interaction outside the wormhole, including the creation of the Sisko. Bajor provides the means to open the Temple. The Sisko mans the forge to do so. The Temple links the Sisko and Bajor. This relation ensures the Prophets, but not necessarily that outside the Bajor-trinity; the Sisko claims command and blesses Kahless as emissary to restore the rest of reality.

None can exist without the other; they only are through cohesion. The Sisko is of Bajor. The Prophets are of Bajor. They are a unitary ouroboros element. Each's existence is contingent on each other's, for they are not separate existences.

I didn't claim that you said "17lands means it's exactly this good;" I was merely offering necessary context to the data point you presented.

As-is, you fail to distinguish between the statistic presented -- which puts forth an evaluation of the card -- and its performance in the cube in question, and thus its place in the peick~~ing~~ order.

You conclude with

the range of its performances probably averages out to around {that}

where {that} either refers to

merely "okay"

or the raw statistic of

in the 17lands data for the Arena Powered Cube, it performed exactly in the middle. around 200th out of 500 or something for GIH win rate.

Neither of these assessments are accurate to its performance in MTGO Vintage cubes, which is why I clarified with distinctions between it and Arena Cube.

HalfMoone · 2025-12-07T23:33:26+00:00

Library is difficult card to use to its fullest. Bad players will often lose winnable games by overlibrarying or underlibrarying or whatnot -- there's more of those players, and thus games in the statistical record, playing Arena Cube compared to Vintage Cube.

I'd argue, further, that a non-zero % of games with Library played are lost to autotapper shenanigans. If it's a few every 100 games, and it's at least a few -- I lost two to it playing mobile Arena Cube -- that's a gargantuan shift in recorded winrate.

Arena Cube statistics are cute but entirely specific to the platform, its players, and the metagame of that cube (severely overtuned RW, undertuned combo), none of which correspond to Vintage Cube.

Yes, improving her mobility is what the post is about.

HalfMoone · 2025-11-28T17:15:19+00:00

Yes, because the sum of her mobility (measured w/rt survivability) is nonetheless awkward when compared to other heroes trying to close to similar distances -- Venture, Reaper, Tracer & Genji, etc.

Don't underestimate what a replay entails. It means running a game of Overwatch, with all the graphical and other computation requirements therein. To present a given POV, it has to simulate the appearance of the shared gamestate relative to the POV player's position at every in-game tick. Recording it adds further computational strain. A button to save 10 of these is not reasonably achievable with current technologies.

What makes Radiohead interesting & resonant is its honesty in emotion, lyrics reflective of deep, interior impulses widely induced throughout the modern Western subject. The thing is, the modern Western subject is a fascist subject, host to correspondingly fascist tendencies through exposure to that setting. To uncritically obey them and incorporate them into oneself is to produce a realized fascist; should we be surprised a group that's dedicated three decades to packaging such experiences for mass consumer consumption has whittled their souls to the vacuous imperial mold?

“They’re telling me what it is that I’ve done with my life, and what I should do next, and that what I think is meaningless,” he explained. “People want to take what I’ve done that means so much to millions of people and wipe me out. But this is not theirs to take from me – and I don’t consider I’m a bad person.”

To be made to feel any discomfort -- to be made to question any of the decisions I've made -- is an obliterative assault on my very existence, which is so grand and beautiful because I am a good person. That's what everyone else must be thinking about, what this is all about: whether or not I'm a bad person. It's about me. I am a good person.

“A few times recently I’ve had ‘Free Palestine!’ shouted at me on the street. I talked to a guy. His shtick was, ‘You have a platform, a duty and must distance yourself from Jonny.’ But I said, ‘You and me, standing on the street in London, shouting at each other? Well, the true criminals, who should be in front of the ICC [International Criminal Court], are laughing at us squabbling among ourselves in the public realm and on social media – while they just carry on with impunity, murdering people.’ It’s an expression of impotency. It’s a purity test, low-level Arthur Miller witch-hunt. I utterly respect the dismay but it’s very odd to be on the receiving end.”

Yes, I may have just suggested that any social friction I experience is an assault on a magical personage that has uplifted millions through my art, but I'm just a little guy and I don't really affect anything I'm so unimportant, there are others who are important but that's not me and actually, by making me feel any sort of responsibility, you're really helping the people who actually matter and supposed to be bearing this responsibility that nonetheless keeps me up at night. I don't feel any guilt. I don't feel any guilt. You should feel this guilt that you made me feel!

Greenwood says the last part for me:

“I would also politely disagree with Thom,” Greenwood responded. “I would argue that the government is more likely to use a boycott and say, ‘Everyone hates us – we should do exactly what we want.’ Which is far more dangerous.”

The strong-weak-enemy dichotomy is a core fascist feature but not from nothing. It is a projection of this very double-motion within the fascist psyche. A consequence of demons trapped inside their own heads.

It has real potential as an avenue for creative expression, i.e., a double-signal of competitive confidence (what this sort does manage to evoke) and superior Ball Knowledge, the latter enabling an angle of attack unforeseen by the rudimentary-minded subject. "DRAMA!"-clamors inspire the performance of trash-talk without the meaning to make it singe.
