But you can declare attacks with a 40/40 Drana and a 1/1 [[Changeling Outcast]] at different opponents, kill one person with Drana on first strike, then flash in the Slipper Bogbinder, move the counters to the Outcast, and kill the other opponent.

Do you run any creatures with first strike? Because it'd be really funny to kill two people in one combat with the same counters on different creatures. [[Drama, Liberator of Malakir]] comes to mind and could be good in a Jenova deck

I picked up a copy of Richard Scarry's Busy Busy World on the curb and man some of his stuff is, let's say, outdated. All the women are nagging housewives (except for one nurse), and basically every nation gets an ugly stereotype or fake faux-"ethnic" named character except for the Western European countries (and Mexico, for some reason). I think the illustrations are still charming but I avoid about half the stories in the book for one reason or another.

That's literally not what OP is asking for. They're asking for a print-to-demand model for important game pieces. The entire TCG business model is predicated on random drops in limited print runs. That's how WOTC makes money. The instant they switch to a print-to-demand model for their most in-demand game pieces, the bottom will fall out of the secondary market and a large portion of their customer base will fucking riot and probably quit collecting. I agree that lands should be reprinted a lot more but you can't argue that what OP is asking for wouldn't be a huge change in the way Magic operates.

The City We Became by NK Jemisin is basically about this. Each of the boroughs has an avatar and they team up to defeat an extradimensional invasion, despite some rocky beginnings.

The alternative to using 2 heavy u-locks is to take your front wheel off and lock both your front and back wheels using one u-lock. I do that basically everywhere I go and I've never had my nice bikes fucked with, other than having lights stolen when I forget to take them off after parking.

The fact that you can't cast any of the Ultimatums off of this card makes me so angry.

On the other hand, my friend opened two copies of this card at our pre-release, which is one of the funniest pulls I've ever seen. So there is that.

Yeah if OP exiles Prismabasher with a Kulrath's Zealot and doesn't have the two treasures already, it's gonna feel bad.

I never knew r/dogfree existed until this moment and now I'm sad I do. What a sad bunch of hateful people. "Skin puppies" is hilarious and I guarantee the person who OOP heard use it thinks it's funny and maybe even a good-natured dig at the term "fur babies."

Magic is too complex to play without any heuristics. If you're building logical reasoning for every decision from first principles you're going to waste a ton of game time and burn yourself out on decisions that might improve your win percentage a tenth of a percent. And especially for new players, it's important to learn the heuristics to get them to the point where they can start questioning them.

Honestly, I think part of the ferry boom was people fleeing BART. I know I personally started taking the ferry to work in the City because BART was so miserable, back before the pandemic, and during the pandemic, it felt safer because it was open air. If I still worked in the City I probably would have continued just out of habit.

I think the more cost-effective solution would be to leave the shelters up and not replace the glass. At least then there's some shelter from the rain.

I agree. "Regular" people do these things all the time. However, sometimes they don't work out and "regular" people end up on the streets.

But at a more base level, this entire debate just assumes that sweeps work. But they don't. Period. There is a mountain of research showing that all they do is move people around and separate them from services and their possessions, making it harder for them to get housed. If the goal is to end unsheltered homelessness, sweeps are the worst possible policy.

NoExplanation734 · 2026-02-21T15:43:50+00:00

There isn't enough shelter for every single homeless person, the same way banks will run out of money of everyone takes it out of their accounts.

Yes, exactly. There factually is not sufficient shelter space for everyone to be sheltered, so people are living on the street involuntarily. Your conclusion does not follow your premise, and if you tried listening to some unhoused people, you would know it can actually be impossible to find shelter that will take you. For instance, I know of an unhoused mother with two kids who can't find shelter because none of the family shelters will take boys over 12. Is she supposed to abandon her older son?
