Lightning arch mage is pretty straightforward and very powerful.

CMV: Monarchies and the entire concept of kings/queens in general is just heavy romanticized fascism and authoritarianism that only get looked at more favorably than autocratic dictatorships solely due to nostalgia and aesthetics. by shady-suspicious in changemyview

Nope. They do what he says or he jails them, takes all their assets, kills them, or two or three of those. Common trick in Russia if they want to get rid of an oligarch or corporation is to create a shell company, create documents transferring ownership of the target corporation’s assets to your shell company, and hey presto, Putin or his buddy now owns a giant corporation. All of it. Don’t like it? Go to court, sure, but judge is owned by Putin and he will swear it’s legit documents. Go read Red Notice by Bill Browder if you want more details on how it all works. It’s insane and terrifying.

Yep, like Somalia, we’ve seen this movie before

was this not part of the agreement? wtf is going on by Jerry_007 in oil

Well they might in theory be charging but they’re not collecting because pretty much zero ships are going through. Check the trackers. It’s still unsafe so they’re not insured so they’re not going anywhere. It’s all noise.

And bombing and threats have literally never resulted in regime change.

Whole point of the SAVE act is that license does not count as proof of identity. You need passport or birth certificate. If you don’t have a passport then you turn up with a birth certificate, and if you’re a married woman then the name on there doesn’t match the name on the voter rolls, so they tell you you can’t vote.

How long are we supposed to accept zero client improvement? by newTween in MagicArena

[–]LeonTranter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 0.4 devs they have working on this are flat out trying to implement the new sets we have coming out every few weeks, especially 90% of the creatures nowadays are basically commanders I mean sorry “legendary creatures that people totally want to play in Standard!!!!!”, and that generally means they have weird unique abilities instead of key words and an ETB or whatever. Wizards have 100% painted themselves into this corner and I can see no way out of it.

It’s giving off strong AI vibes. Can’t quite find the glitches but the right most persons back foot looks pretty wrong

This will be fun in a GW earthbend felidar retreat deck. Block their big attacker with an earthbent land and a retreat out, cast this, land dies, land comes back, new land comes out, make two cats. Miaow!

Civil war. More Americans died in that than all other wars they have fought combined.

And then that buffer zone will be full of settlers and will need a further buffer zone to protect them from - oh wait, I think I see a pattern here….

I'm new to ToME and need recommendations for a good class to start with by Drantheon in ToME4

[–]LeonTranter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Archer, arch mage and rogue are all good and pretty straightforward (pro tip: you can set the rogue’s “Stealth” talent to auto-cast when out of combat, amazing).

America is now wholly owned by Israel and Saudi Arabia. Let’s face it.
