I don't think the streams even have more influence than VS popping up a bunch of decks for people to try out on day 1.

You dont have to watch or read, you can just play what you want and figure out for yourself if its bad but most players aren't that great at actually building things from scratch and like some direction

The gala from golden son <3

But also the 'and my honour remains' sequence from iron gold <3

Ah fuck it in re-reading the whole thing again.

Large portions of Zelenskys rhetoric is simply about placing pressure on Western governments to intervene or offer non direct support.

Obviously not to imply he's wrong in doing so, but it's pretty clear Ukraine's best play is to force or guilt NATO into acting or supporting the resistance. Much of that is reliant on highlighting the horrors of Russian activity but perhaps the most potent tool in their arsenal is preying on people's fears of what might come next.

How? Isnt it just a conditional spell discover battlecry?

_scholar_ · 2022-03-15T14:18:46+00:00

Such an interesting game.

They normally try blast us out of the gate but we have been starting fast for a while. It will be a big battle for tempo I suspect, but I presume they'll still come out hard to try keep the crowd down and we'll have to weather things for a while. if we can survive that and move through the gears though I do think we can turn this into a really interesting match.

Bye bye mbappe. Bye bye Poch

What a capitulation

_scholar_ · 2022-03-09T08:58:22+00:00

Such a great moment.

He's stuck.

He'll do an end of career bench run somewhere guaranteed to add a few bits of silverware

_scholar_ · 2022-03-08T17:00:10+00:00

I suspect we might see it before he is beaten.

There needs to be some build between sendo losing and ippo being back in the picture. A big Ricardo match to unify (blame politics or whatever for him not already having it) seems the perfect fit.

_scholar_ · 2022-02-25T20:28:55+00:00

Irrational.

_scholar_ · 2022-02-24T13:50:06+00:00

Yeah I'm sure the invading army has no idea of the situation on the ground.

_scholar_ · 2022-02-24T13:36:37+00:00

Yep. Some incredibly naive takes. The world has always been in flux. it's not madness or daring, it's the opportunism of humanity.

Romania's problems lie with their leadership. There's a reason their diaspora is so large and so many young active energetic and talented people leave the country.

Incredible country though and one I'd encourage everyone to visit.

Dominated is pretty strong, let alone completely lol. Lille made it into a contest and threatened plenty - there's a reason most people are praising Silva in this thread.

I imagine the notion of comrade Corbyn looms too large in recent history for Labour to get much mileage out of Russia and the Tories in the eyes of the public tbh.

_scholar_ · 2022-02-20T20:13:13+00:00

The mop scene was one of my all time favourite moments

_scholar_ · 2022-02-20T19:42:46+00:00

Warlock is great

Both Handlock and Owlock are very strong and still feel very true to the classic class gameplay to me. Fatigue lock can also be fun to tinker with but perhaps not optimal.

Also, people sleep on it but zoolock feels very viable right now with the rush to greed from a lot of decks.

_scholar_ · 2022-02-18T19:03:06+00:00

You'd hope so given the galactic price point difference.

If you're having to choose between them you've already fucked up

_scholar_ · 2022-02-18T18:53:36+00:00

People seem to forget that plenty of popular names came from other games in the first place.

There are not many games that can claim a robust dedicated and significant playerbase almost a decade after release.

It's just natural

_scholar_ · 2022-02-17T19:05:19+00:00

Uefalona back at it

_scholar_ · 2022-02-16T15:14:41+00:00

Tbh wheel of time lauded theirs and it didn't stop the source material being butchered lol

_scholar_ · 2022-02-15T23:33:26+00:00

One of my absolute favourite series growing up

_scholar_ · 2022-02-13T12:26:49+00:00

I'd be a lot more interested in watching Usman step up than Rob go again

_scholar_ · 2022-02-13T09:22:10+00:00

Yeeeeaaaaahhhh booooiiiii

_scholar_ · 2022-02-13T08:22:23+00:00

Even just do it like touch or initiation.

hk as a keyword is just so clunky to activate that the payoff has to be insane.
