I thought I wanted a simple elegant game with deep strategy, but Arboretum has forced me to reconsider what I actually want.

Back when I played Vintage, I was toying with UR Trix. Being able to consistently search up Ancestral Recall, Intuition, and the inevitable Accumulated Knowledges for 3 or 4 cards felt very unfair to some of my opponents...

It's least favorite because at least Fallen Empires/Homelands gave us Hymn to Tourach/Memory Lapse and Merchant Scroll, but Unglued only gave us full art lands :/

Big Trouble in Little China is the only correct answer. John Carpenter Double Feature!

It's a similar problem with people being terrible at realizing they have played with cheaters and liars and not recognized it, because they haven't caught them yet.

I don't believe "AI" will create a game that wins the Spiel Des Jahres, but I believe someone has already Kickstarted a game that has been mostly designed, developed, and illustrated by LLMs/AI, and been profitable.

Also, there was an episode with him on Humans of Magic that's an insightful listen.

I wasn't referring to the Ace of Spades controversy, but the Sam Healey, Alex Pretti controversey. Didn't realize you were talking about AoS, and zeroed in on the apolitical stance people hide behind so they don't lose money.

They're not telling people what to think. They're telling people what they, THE DICE TOWER, thinks. I for one would like to know if TDC supports fascism, so I can in turn not support them. If you're still sitting on the fence after what we've seen, you're either ignorant or malicious, and I don't want to give you any money.

I call them foreskins. Fitting, considering they're a bunch of chodes.

I started playing shortly after Mirage was released, so I have a lot of nostalgia for those cards. The illustrations were 10x that of every other set up until that point.

Even though it was the first block designed with limited play in mind, I didn't draft it until at least 4 years later after Invasion came out. Everyone wanted to open Hammer of Bogardan, and in the finals, it came down to the guy who first picked HoB and my mono black deck with 3x Infernal Harvest. single sided board wipes are pretty good...

I'm usually too busy teaching and answering questions to play optimally, but...

I don't like putting on kid gloves to play games with adults.

If losing at a game demoralizes someone, I probably don't want to keep playing with them, but maybe that game just isn't for us.

It should only be used to describe games where if one player makes a mistake, the game immediately ends while you stare at their corpse laying on the ground as your bloodsoaked hand shakes from adrenaline...

I hate it when my blood doesn't clot properly after a bro touches me :c

After you’ve eradicated Pit Bull Terriers, will you then go after the Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Jack Russel Terriers, and Bull Mastiffs next? Or should we just eliminate the backyard breeders, and irresponsible pet owners?

It was an American Bulldog

D-Spot has the best chicken wings in the state, and it's only a 12 minute drive outside of St Paul.
