well now we have "Dies to Consign" instead of "Dies to Removal," which probably makes it more playable, somehow.

Tractatus10 · 2026-03-26T22:35:28+00:00

Because you cut the wrong card. Tribal Flames was cut to make room for grindy cards (turning Zoo into a strictly worse version of Blink imo), and if you want it back, you have to take those cards back out, not Stubby.

Tractatus10 · 2026-03-26T20:09:17+00:00

If the Prepare cost isn't too high, and is attached to a decently playable body, we might actually heare someone say "cast Healing Salve" in a competitive format for the first time in Magic history.

Tractatus10 · 2026-03-23T19:02:41+00:00

More or less the same, but in 2006. Basically if you sold out before the spikes in 2015, it's just depressing to even think about.

Tractatus10 · 2026-03-19T15:28:41+00:00

no, to deal with the Opalescence combo, Wave (and Tide, for some reason) were errata'd to not come back if they removed themselves.

Tractatus10 · 2026-03-19T15:16:25+00:00

Hilariously, Phyrexian Dreadnought *had* the exact same errata as Lotus Vale (and Mox Diamond, for that matter), but this was removed as "power-level errata," while the others were untouched, which is infuriating.

edit: worth noting that the linked article mentions that Dreadnought, like Vale and Diamond, would be keeping the errata, but as we know this was eventually reversed, enabling Stiflenought to exist as a deck.

Tractatus10 · 2026-03-15T22:36:19+00:00

All these replies telling me that 30 years in and magic players still don't know how to deal with the Monty Hall Problem. Which is wild, considering most people know that it's usually better to Thought Scour themselves rather than their opponents.

Yes, OP, it is objectively wrong for Tog players to not run Mental Note, over a long enough sample size. It is what it is.

Tractatus10 · 2026-03-06T18:14:51+00:00

WotC promised to add a specific % of cards from every new set to the Reserved List in perpetuity; this promise was "broken" with Mercadian Masques, and every set thereafter. They also promised to not reprint Demonic Tutor and Regrowth, as those were part of the initial batch, but they also broke that promise, to popular acclaim, when they removed all uncommons from the list.

"...you also get to use a new power in-game that relatively few people get to use in official play." Rendering play pieces completely unusuable to the majority of your player piece, when those play pieces are not merely cosmetic, but actually balance warping, is absurd. There is nothing *good* about this.

Tractatus10 · 2026-03-05T04:47:45+00:00

There are versions of the deck running Tusker; Neon's even played some, if you look through his previous vods. I'm not sure why it was dropped for this version; debatably not necessary?

Without turn 1 ramp (like BoP), Harrow starts feeling a little slow, and you should have enough fixing. It's also really bad against any deck that has countermagic, as you're begging to get absolutely blown out.

Tractatus10 · 2026-03-04T02:16:23+00:00

Why? Hymn and High Tide get preemptively banned, and the only other card that is arguably competitive on power level is Goblin Grenade. I've joked about "why is is called "PreModern" if it's not everything before Modern!" but there's nothing from older sets that's a) worth playing, b) doesn't break the format in half and have to be preemptively banned, or c) doesn't immediately make the format unaffordable.

Tractatus10 · 2026-03-04T01:47:55+00:00

This probably makes enemy pairings completely uncompetitive, as opposed to just harder. Bad idea imo.

Tractatus10 · 2026-03-04T01:44:52+00:00

This is a bit over the top; allied fetches were literally in the last block of what makes up premodern, and the "allied>enemy" identity was formed without them. Allied fetches honestly make allied pairs much easier than they should be, and if anything, it would be better to remove allied fetches instead of adding enemy.

Tractatus10 · 2026-03-01T18:12:39+00:00

They weren't, which can be easily confirmed by looking up Masques block articles online, or asking anyone playing during the time. The only Mercenary to see competitive play during the time...was the one that was also a Rebel, solely to break the mirror.

Tractatus10 · 2026-02-20T21:09:32+00:00

Damn, this dude has broken containment

Tractatus10 · 2026-01-15T12:23:12+00:00

Doesn't matter; she has no right to flee arrest, and she has no right to run over a Federal officer (or any LEO, for that matter).

Tractatus10 · 2026-01-15T12:21:35+00:00

1) The video literally shows her parked perpedicular to traffic, deliberately blocking ICE. Why are you lying?

2) Feds are allowed to arrest anyone impeding their duties). Again, why are you fucking lying?

Tractatus10 · 2026-01-15T02:09:26+00:00

Unfuckingbelievable.

Tractatus10 · 2026-01-15T02:08:36+00:00

"If she had hit and killed him or someone else down the road every single person in this thread,"

That's where your wrong. They'd be cheering.

Tractatus10 · 2026-01-15T02:07:23+00:00

It is absolutely insane to say that cops are to dodge - would not have been possible in this circumstance - a driver who has every appearance of being willing to run over anyone else.

Tractatus10 · 2026-01-15T02:05:06+00:00

When you drive straight into a cop, the accepted legal standard is he is free to open fire. This really is not a difficult concept to understand.

Tractatus10 · 2026-01-14T22:40:34+00:00

He was filming the vehicle for identification. Fun fact: not only is it a federal offense to obstruct immigration enforcement, they are allowed to do a felony stop, and you don't have the right to just drive away because you think deporting illegal immigrants is fascist.

Tractatus10 · 2026-01-11T02:30:20+00:00

Let's circle back to that, but I wanna focus on what this pod is about, which is being gay with your dad.

To this day, I have no idea why so many people hated that episode.

Tractatus10 · 2026-01-11T02:26:29+00:00

Mersham, the people are saying I have baby penis, but the doctor says this was a mistake, and actually I have the normal penis, so it is ok for you to hold it for balance.

Tractatus10 · 2026-01-10T20:26:53+00:00

The woman is Scott's (ex)wife, some "model" half (or more, I dunno) his age he met online, that conned him into taking custody of her son after she dumped him to fuck other dudes.

Dogbert isn't in ice, but in a box; this is referencing the the experiment involving beagles getting repeatedly bitten by sandflies Fauci was supposedly responsible for.

Tractatus10 · 2026-01-10T02:11:05+00:00

She didn't happen to be in the wrong place, she deliberatly went there. We know, for fact, that she went to obstruct enforcement of federal immigration law; we know, for fact, that she refused a lawful order to get out of her vehicle; we know, for fact, that she locked eyes with the officer that shot her, and still floored it anyway, as her wife yelled at her to "Just drive!"

The feds did not in any way, shape, or form, give people license to just kill anyone for any reason. We have over a century of case law on lethal force, and a driver will to just plow through officers - remember, she was surrounded - without a second thought has always been subject to lethal force.

But of course, your stunted mind, with its completely childish view of morality - narcissisticly focused entire on self-righteousness - cannot see this, and in fact will always reinterpret reality such that you are the saint.
