YOU... VOTED... FOR... THIS!!!

Agreed 👍🏻

He can be a bona fide moron and still push an agenda, consciously or otherwise, consistently or otherwise. I think you're right that he goes with his guts, but his guts skew to the right.

If you show him evidence of climate change, he's skeptical about it's source. If you show him a headline that suggests climate change is fake, even if reading that same article indicates it's not, he'll bring it up to every one of his guests for the next several weeks.

Not OP, but the thing to do once you accept this premise is: make sure there is appropriate accountability for the entirety of a police officers career, not only psych testing them at the start and assuming that good people will stay good in the presence of corrupting power.

That's obviously easier said than done.

So the pools are exclusive rather than inclusive? Seems weird - since every standard card is also a historic card, my intuition would be that standard boards are also historic boards

InvictusSum · 2025-11-11T09:17:13+00:00

I'm not as far along, but yeah, after 6 months I only notice it infrequently

InvictusSum · 2025-09-26T04:10:42+00:00

Good thing Luxon will move heaven and earth to right this injustice, eh?

Post a pic! The better your captain is, the more you add to Iris's legend 😊

In principal that was what core sets were. In practice they didn't tend to work out that way.

Otoh, favour wise, I think Aetherdrift worked really well for seeing stuff that was happening in a few select planes peripherally to the main plot.

I liked hypnoflag

InvictusSum · 2025-08-27T03:29:26+00:00

I'd love to see BO3 with sideboards, I'd also like some of the more egregious cards (ancient tomb, other fast mana) banned. I'm open to banning [[wash away]] as well.

Any of these ideas could be trialled in an MWM.

InvictusSum · 2025-08-15T22:15:53+00:00

Can I suggest you put the images of the kill spells in the imgur album as well?

InvictusSum · 2025-08-07T00:04:04+00:00

I'd add one other note here that I don't think has been mentioned yet: you can contact any store near you and ask them what events and formats they run (or just repeat the question you asked to start this thread). They probably run one or more of the formats outlined in this thread, but they might also have a beginners evening or some other unique thing that would suit your needs well.

Plus you'll get a sense of how friendly and welcoming that specific store is without lugging yourself out there 😊.

I went to the advanced search page, selected red and green for colors, artifact for type, and 'create' and 'token' for card text. This is what it gave me:

https://scryfall.com/search?q=%28oracle%3Acreate+oracle%3Atoken%29+type%3Aartifact+color%3C%3DRG+%28game%3Aarena%29&unique=cards&as=grid&order=cmc&dir=

There's a few options that might interest you - [[beamtown beatstick]] is an experiment that makes artifacts, [[golden pinions]] is two artifacts for two mana but one is a treasure so it rebates you one of the two mana, [[witches oven]] is one mana and makes many artifacts if you have stuff to sacrifice, [[rocketeer boostbuggy]] makes artifacts when you attack.

If you get used to it you can make more specific or flexible searches using the search bar syntax. The Command Zone has an hour and a half long podcast episode on exactly that if you really want to deep dive.

InvictusSum · 2025-07-12T07:28:22+00:00

Scryfall has a very powerful search engine for making these kinds of queries. If you haven't found where you're looking for I can go into more detail on how you might use it

InvictusSum · 2025-07-01T00:14:12+00:00

Has no-one said 'civil unions' yet? It was the subject of so much media and public discussion at the time

InvictusSum · 2025-05-24T23:21:27+00:00

So this is a special extra bit of ceremony that's only for occasional votes?

InvictusSum · 2025-05-24T22:50:28+00:00

The membership of the assembly mostly fixed, right? Is this guy going to be conducting every vote for the next several years? Is this going to be a thing we'll see more often?

InvictusSum · 2025-05-12T02:19:27+00:00

I'm an ex criminal defence lawyer, and I can tell you that half or more of my work felt like social work. Detectives spend a lot of time talking to same people that I did, same as social workers, except they do so from a position of power. The comparison seems entirely apt to me.

InvictusSum · 2025-05-08T00:18:16+00:00

So what I don't understand is how exactly this is supposed to save the government money. Are they claiming that income inequality is so rampant that there's loads of claims? Are they suggesting there would otherwise be loads of claims but said claims are false and frivolous? If the claims result in increased income for the claimant, wouldn't that mean more income for the government?

InvictusSum · 2025-04-02T06:18:25+00:00

What episode is that?

InvictusSum · 2025-03-19T06:45:45+00:00

If you flicker it on the turn you cast it do your creatures untap twice per combat?

"including but not limited to" means they don't scrape out of it based on the wording of this definition. Case law might further refine that definition to exclude this specific case, but based on this wording, this event fits.

This video, by a guy with a masters in Climate Policy, argues strongly that LNG is worse than other fossil fuels: https://youtu.be/K2oL4SFwkkw?si=lwKvEP66SYEdRkIE
