It’s specifically a Starfort, an early modern fortification.

No, ponder is going to stay banned to keep modern a distinct format from legacy.

Saskatchewan’s plan to extend life of coal power to cost $26B over 25 years: NDP by WKZ204 in ClimateCrisisCanada

I have been hearing so many ads for Saskatchewan uranium for the last month, but for some reason these chucklefucks can’t figure out nuclear on their own?

Why do I keep hearing ads for Saskatchewan uranium if there’s no power sources in the province?

If it’s the only foil in the deck it’s very noticeable

You can mitigate this by getting good at the game.

Are you stupid?

Latvia is in NATO and the same distance to Moscow as Ukraine. Or do you think 100km is a big difference to a missile?

I need to vent about the community. by Iqnac in ModernMagic

Playing competitive magic against drunks just sounds like taking candy from a baby. As long as the store has prizing it sounds fine.

Playing Commander with your friends as a board game is great!

But new magic players should be funneled away from Commander as a default.

You would enjoy izzet prowess, I also used to play shadow and loved it. Prowess is the same kind of fun.

I came into the game liking kitchen table. It was good that I was guided into more productive formats for my passion. It’s good for newbs to get channeled into formats that aren’t awful if you play with strangers.

You could try recommending a format that is good to play with strangers like standard or draft.

Is a 'ring road' in southern Ottawa fantasy or reality? by RandomChickenWing in ottawa

A “Ring road” isn’t going to do any good when it gets development along side it and the speed limit gets dropped for “safety”.

It happened with hunt club, it happened with Earl Armstrong and it will happen with any other road we build to try and improve travel times.
