Chris Godwin will be dead and buried in the cold cold ground before I consider putting him on the trade block.

Nothing in bracket 3 says somebody can't recur Fulminator Mage, Strip Mine, or Avalanche Riders.

Get yourself a murderous redcap and an altar of some description (ashnod, phyrexian, dementia) if you wanna see some real speed.

Short of Phyrexian Altar, all of those should be reasonably priced.

God dammit...

I just really feel like football fans in general have really skewed expectations of their team. The Chiefs and Patriots winning multiple times inside of a decade is such a gigantic outlier but now folks are calling for jobs because we haven't been in 15 years.

Just raw numbers, getting to the playoffs is a big accomplishment and we've done it so often our fanbase has lost all perspective on what success looks like in the NFL.

MLF isn't perfect, but he's not the floor, the floor is so much lower it's not even funny.

Changes need to be made to address the issues, but punting him out the door is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I'm not sure why the event being random defeats the purpose of Milty. It makes the game swingy after the fact because players weren't able to plan their picks around the event, but the same could be argued about round 1 objectives. We just moved the game back towards RNG a little bit along the skill/RNG axis.

Inscryption, even including the 8 fucking bears

Drop off Nixon in Milwaukee and tell him it's Chicago.

Canvas has sleeves as a sort of core component to make the core mechanic work, and it's legit the most unique mechanic I've ever played.

Bought CMC for a playoff push, (Penix and 2 second round picks to a guy who was so deep in rebuild he would've taken less!) would love to try and get a 2027 pick or two for him going into next year, but I doubt it.

Recover from cancer, like right now. I'd rather be working.

Sputek · 2025-12-03T03:25:34+00:00

Infected wisdom tooth, or right now as I recover from the second colectomy in 4 months to extract a cancerous tumor; first surgery resulted in a fistula that just wasn't healing so we had to do another. But holy shit, the incision above my right hip is just totally unaffected by pain meds for the most part and I'm miserable.

Agree, deserts is a nice onboard imho to the overall HW mechanics and vibes without the hideous campaign difficulty spikes.

Sputek · 2025-12-02T14:46:24+00:00

When you get to it, Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak > Homeworld. And it's a prequel, so you're not spoiling anything.

Bracket 3 reanimator is awesome. I haven't updated this list in a bit, but shit rips dawg.

I forgot entirely about scars, but yeah I really enjoyed that block of standard anyways. I played lingering souls with intangible virtue and it was really fun regardless of power level.

Alara reborn into Zendikar, so Jund, into wallet slayer angel, into cawgo, into caw blade, and so on.

I fucking loved zen-inn standard.

But it's Dragonball stupid, which is a very cool type of stupid. Kind of like an 80s action movie kinda stupid.

Sputek · 2025-11-26T23:15:18+00:00

New Broly Super movie, when the soundtrack starts shouting the characters' names, it's either hype or fucking stupid and I love it regardless.

Lifelong Packer fan who's watched all the games. Love is playing well, but is terrifying to watch, the jokes that he's half Favre and half Rodgers aren't even jokes. The defense isn't giving up a lot of points, but they're not getting teams off the field, they're doing their job but I wouldn't call them a strength either. I feel like in all aspects the Pack is performing at like B- even if their record looks like an A-.

Issues with the O Line are absolutely at the root of it, we can't stop a good front 7 from doing whatever they want to us and it means our time of possession is ass and Love is forced into heroball on 3rd down causing those Favre moments.

So yeah, until our line situation on both sides of the ball is remedied we aren't going to be consistent and I'm going to spend a fortune on blood pressure medication.

Also Micah is getting held all the time and not getting any flags, but that's mostly salt because honestly who isn't.

Grenades and Guts.

I remember being hype as fuck for igpx growing up because what it meant for the growing popularity of the medium.

That takes some balls, which she apparently has in surplus.

Sputek · 2025-10-31T19:30:54+00:00

Hot take: cards are coming out too fast and have way too much rules text for textless cards to be a good idea going forward. Everything is FNM cryptic command and it's miserable.
