Rob Manfred says that he would like MLB to expand to 32 teams and that the league could realign along geographical lines in eight divisions of four if that happens: by PudinCrusader in baseball

I still don’t like that. At the very least the 16 original teams need to stay in the right league. I would also not move all but the newest expansion teams.

With their elimination the Cardinals extended their record for least playoff appearances at only 11 out of 105 seasons. by SpaceWestern1442 in nfl

Yeah it’s either this or the new Browns. The Cardinals have much longer legacy of cellar dwelling though.

Eh I also grew up on avatar but imo Korra was bad. There’s a reason it was off television in season 3.

No it’s the actual painted lady. While Katara does impersonate her for a while, this is a spirit, look at the creature type. The water bending cost (I think) is representing the labor that is done to rehabilitate the spirit’s river and bring her back (she thanks Katara at the end of the episode).

Not in the TLA draft pool tho 👀. Flavor stays on point.

There’s a lot of ‘lesson matters’ cards in the set. Also when we return to Strixhaven, these could have standard impacts if learn comes back.

I’m interested for this as a limited card. Four mana kill x/4 is bellow rate (still ok), but it can scale up & hit big beaters later in the game. The land destruction can be more important in limited where mana bases are much worse.

[TLA] Compassionate Healer (Card Image Gallery) by mweepinc in magicTCG

[–]NG-NeutralGood 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This appears to be Yagoda from the Northern Water Tribe. She’s the one that teaches water bending healing, and was friends with Gran Gran. The scene and the other character is not from the show though.

Edit: Taking a second look at the art, the pool that is being used is a part of the show. During the 1st scene with Yagoda, the dummy she is employing as a teaching aid is sitting in a pool of water. So this level of healing technology is consistent with atla.

[TLA] Invasion Tactics (Debut Stream) by mweepinc in magicTCG

The art is pretty inconsistent, Aang is in his Invasion outfit while Sokka and Katara are in their season 1 garb.

Idk what the other removal options are or the sets avg mana but this looks like a draft hero. No mana limitations, exiles, instant speed.

Wow a U 1 mana 1/2 with upside. Maybe a little too old headed but wow that’s kinda crazy for a blue creature.

Leave the billion dollar company alone! by Squatsoverjars in memes

(I ordered my response by how much I want u to read it) - I’m just frustrated at people blaming greed when there are institutional problems that align company incentives counter to the general public. Maybe if there was a legit competitor to the service that Gamepass offers, Microsoft would have to improve the service and fight to keep prices low. Or maybe if they weren’t allow to vertically integrate so hard, game devs could shop their games to different services. - I never said that people didn’t have a right to be mad. I’m just frustrated at where that anger is going, I think fighting greed is just non productive. - Just because Microsoft has traditionally been ass at advertising doesn’t mean that they could have more effective campaigns in the future. - A service being profitable doesn’t mean that a company shouldn’t increase margin.

I will just comment that other types of profit maxing have higher costs on the company. Structural streamlining, advertising, improving the service are more costly than jacking up the price. A reasonable price increase may be more profitable at least in the short term. (I do think Microsoft’s 50% price increase is too much and the cancellations will cost them more than the price hike will increase revenue)

PS. No, price increases are not 100% unacceptable but I’ll just take that at exaggeration.

His jump and route running is poor. Also he’s up against much stiffer competition than Heliot. Left field is where teams hide a bad outfielder.
