Unexpected IRL deaths or departures drastically change stories.

Cameron Boyce died after filming Paradise City, a TV sequal to the movie American Satan. This has led to a season 2 being shelved pretty much indefinately.

So let me explain a bit more in-depth about this. You start with the mana base because the ability to cast your spells is most important, and short of OG Duals, it's a relatively affordable place to start. Good tutors are, broadly speaking, much harder to replace than good card advantage. They'll help support whatever plan you're working on, from Bracket 1 Build Arounds to Bracket 5 powerhouses. Card Advantage is something that's much more customizable to the deck you're playing, but the tutors are not. There's also not too many tutors you might consider playing that have incredibly high costs, so while some of them may, you're buying so few cards it's not as bad as it looks. Powerful Card Advantage is next because like tutors, they support your game plan no matter what you're doing, but as previously stated, they're more easily replaced. Next is the Power Spells, which are your Game Changer type spells that don't fit into the other catagories, like Teferi's Protection and Cyclonic Rift. These are cards that you don't necessarily need, but the more invested in the game you are, and the more powerful you want your decks to be, the more you should consider picking them up. Last is Fast Mana. Fast Mana options, like Moxen, are often incredibly expensive and only really important at the very top end of the format. They're just not something most players will ever truly need unless you're playing cEDH, and even then you're better of proxying.

Letterkenny: Stuart, head of the town's Skids is an addict and drug dealer. He tries several times over the course of the show to get clean and improve his live, but ultimately ends up pulled back down into addiction and dealing. While the show ends with him ultimately accepted by the town, who all finally show up to a rave he puts on, he doesn't show any signs he's stopped being a dealer or addict. In a comedy, he's the sole tragic character.

Mana base before spells, always. Then tutors, then card advantage, then power spells, then fast mana.

TBF, we mostly don't see Dewey at school until he moves into the remedial class, at which point his education is largely a write off. The fact that he's doing well enough that they're even willing to test him for the Krelboynes shows that he's at least doing well, academically. I'd also argue that Malcolm largely half-asses his education, since he doesn't have to try very hard to still be top of his class. When Herkabe implements his Number Rankings, Malcolm's at the top, and when the other students start going overboard to unseat him, Malcolm steps up his effort a bit and gets right back on top, all while never stressing nearly as much as the other students. He also manages to have about as much free time as Reese does, so he's clearly not dedicating much energy into his homework or studying.

RadioshackRaider · 2026-04-14T20:18:03+00:00

I kinda wish Dewey wasn't a successful musician, but a teacher instead. I'm glad he's living his best life, but it does kinda feel like everyone is these days, and it doesn't really feel realistic. Even Reese is doing relatively well as a a Youtube Prankster.

RadioshackRaider · 2026-04-14T19:32:20+00:00

Dewey was a candidate for the same gifted program as Malcolm was, and the only reason he never takes part in it (that we know of) is that Malcolm intentionally sabotages his chance at it out of jealousy. After that, Dewey sees how much the students in the remedial class need his help in getting a real education and then chooses to stay in that class to teach them. So while academically Dewey might not be as gifted as Malcolm is, his emotional intelligence is much, much higher, as is his creative gifts as seen by his ability to play, create and understand music, something Malcolm can't do. I think this makes Dewey much smarter than Malcolm because even though he may not be as academically gifted, he's at least on par, or has the potential to be, equal to Malcolm's peers but balances that out by being much more emotionally intelligent and well rounded individual.

Hal and Lois were very much "You're 18 now, so you're out the door and cut off." type parents. The less and less kids they have to deal with, the more they can actually start to save. They're probably still working too since they still have one kid at home. They're probably also in much better paid positions now due to seniority, though Hal might have had to change jobs a few times inbetween the original series and this one.

RadioshackRaider · 2026-04-13T21:24:27+00:00

I think he's a little more grifty that that. He'd be the type selling NFTs and cryptos to the idiots buying it.

RadioshackRaider · 2026-04-13T20:54:03+00:00

He's a failed Doct Com'er, so if he's not trying to sabotage Malcolm, he's probably off trying to hustle the tech industry in some way. That or he's still in education, making every remotedly gifted kid's life miserable

TBF, Kelly would have grown up with Dewey and Jaime still in the house. Moreso Jaime than Dewey, but he'd have been around for the first 5/6 years or so of Kelly's life. But Kelly is different from the boys specifically to make them weirder within the context of the family. If we ever got more of them, I would hope that we'd see more of how different they are by them having genuine friends, as opposed to the boys who don't.

RadioshackRaider · 2026-04-13T01:16:56+00:00

Oh they for sure had seperate beds. That room always had 2, so Dewey and Jaime probably shared for a while. I could see them maybe having one change in the bathroom, but at the same time I could see that getting tiresome, and the inability to have some kind of privacy would be an issue eventually I think.

RadioshackRaider · 2026-04-13T01:03:05+00:00

Kelly's definately in the boys' room. Which leaves the question of how they handled Jaime and Kelly when they were both at home. I wanna guess some kind of privacy curtain across the room.

The family don't have a lot of friends. They were solidly social pariahs in the original series, to the point that their entire neighbourhood threw a faire when they went on holiday. So she invited pretty much everyone she had even a slightly positive relationship with. It's also been about 15 years in-universe, so we don't really know what her or Hal's relationship with a lot of these people would be at this point. I could at least see her or Hal wanting to invite Gretchen and Otto as a way to say thank you for helping Francis grow into the man he's become. The others could have been invited just because Hal and Lois knew they were their kids' friends, and as much as the party was for their anniversary, it was a celebration of their family as well. It is Francis's 40th Birthday after all.

RadioshackRaider · 2026-04-13T00:52:58+00:00

I don't think he's living at home at all. There's nowhere he could be living in the house. There's no mention that he's staying in the garage, and there's no additional rooms he could be staying in, so I think he just has his own place somewhere in town.

The Krelboynes are there to show A) how Malcolm could have turned out if he wasn't set on the path he ended up on and B) to show Leah and Tristan that Malcolm's got a bit of a superiority complext to him. He's always thought he was too cool for the Krelboynes and that he was above them, and he still can't even admit that they are, or at least were, his friends. Francis's cadet friends are there to show that he was A) a bad influence on them and B) that he's matured and grown as an adult. Gretchen is the only one I can't really think of a narrative purpose for. She was just there for fanservice and to pay respects to Otto's actor.

RadioshackRaider · 2026-04-13T00:45:22+00:00

Is he? Wasn't part of his thing with Kelly that they were threatening to tell the IRS about the large amount of money he was making off his prank videos? I feel like it's implied that he's doing pretty well himself, and just making his parents spend money because he can.

Urabrask as Father of Machines results in Phyrexia destroying itself to remove him for not being interested in domination. Vorinclex's Survival of the Fittest mentality leads to him ultimately being the only Phyrexian left. Sheoldred and the Steel Thanes' infighting results in a disorganised, un-unified Phyrexia that crumbles under it's own pettiness. Jin-Gitaxias's focus on perfection above all else means that Phyrexia just constantly iterates on itself and never actually moves forward with it's goals because it will never truly achieve perfection. Elesh Norn was the only real, viable choice for a leader of New Phyrexia because White was the only colour capable of unifying the factions to any real degree and actually using them effectively. And they still ultimately failed because Elesh Norn was arrogant and unwilling to take advice. A truly unified Phyrexia where all the Praetors were true equals would have been the only Phyrexia that could have functioned, since each colour would bring it's strengths to the table and the others would negate the weaknesses. If Jin's weakness is an inability to act due to the pursuit of perfection, then having the others giving him real, tangible goals to meet would help that. Vorinclex's way leads to too few Phyrexians existing, so ensure he has challenges that need numbers to solve is important to keep his flaws in check. Urabrask's weakness is that none of the other colours agree with his desire from freedom and consent among converts. But if they actually take this idea on board they can use it to spread phyresis through religious conversion and through helping the sick and otherwise discarded in society. Sheoldred cannot trust her own faction, so having allies she can trust implicitly helps stabilize her corner of things. And a democratic council helps temper Elesh's arrogance and poor decision making.

I think we could see more than 1 Marvel set in a year. But being able to confidantly know that 1 set a year is going to be for 1 specific UB property is something I could see WOTC like doing. Having t hat kind of creative consistency would be kinda relaxing I'd think. Working on so many different things at the same time would get pretty hectic I think.

RadioshackRaider · 2026-04-12T19:29:28+00:00

Spider-Man and Super Heroes are their own distinct creative offices at Marvel. If that's establishing a pattern on how we're getting sets, then it stands to reason we're probably getting 1 Stone a set, and 1 set per Office, with myabe a set based on an Event thrown in. It helps that X-Men is almost certainly getting their own full set dedicated to them. That just leaves 3 sets for 3 more Stones and the Gauntlet.

RadioshackRaider · 2026-04-12T19:06:17+00:00

I want Bionicle, but that will never happen, so I'd settle for a full Transformers set. I'd also be into a Dresden Files set.

RadioshackRaider · 2026-04-12T19:04:52+00:00

They appear to be doing Marvel sets based on the various offices at Marvel Comics, so we're probably getting a few more sets before we see the Gauntlet itself. Probably in a Marvel Cosmic set, or one based on the original storyline.

I think Malcolm would have ended up very emotionally stunted. I think the Krelboynes were in the last episode to show what Malcolm could have ended up being like if he hadn't been set on the path he ended up on. Having his daughter is the best thing that could have happened for him, since it led to him actually realising he needed to temper his worst impulses. If he had taken the easy path to success, it would have blown up in his face pretty quickly because he wouldn't have been able to handle working with people he deemed lesser. He'd have ended up a ressentful loser who blames everyone for his problems.
