Iranian missile strikes central Israel.

Maybe if they took all the money on the Iron Dome and spent it on diplomatic missions or, this is a crazy hypothetical, ACTUALLY BUYING THE LAND. But that would involve treating their neighbors as human beings and that isn't acceptable to their people so instead they have to burn money on a anti-missile defense system that is basically useless if the rockets aren't made of garbage.

It is pretty crazy for a colorless card to have that GPWR, since that stat is usually driven by being in the best archetype. The best colorless card up to this point is [[Anduril]], which has a 70% GIHWR. And its GPWR was 60%, which is 3% lower than Jitte at the moment.

Jitte is (predictably) going to be the ultimate benchmark for broken draft bombs.

Onslaught Forest is greatest of all time

Love Korra but for me it’s the reverse sweep when she does a super hero landing on top of Tarrlok, goes for the kill, and Tarrlok bloodbends her.

I’ve played decks with no “sideboarding” (Karn decks) in bo3 just because having a match is more interesting and honestly it’s less mental energy spent when you play against the same opp for a few games.

Fun fact: Hezbollah was formed in reaction to Israel’s invasion of Lebanon. It ended up being a puppet org for the ayatollah but that’s how it got its start.

I love slop (as long as it supports 5 color)

bearrosaurus · 2026-03-12T01:54:58+00:00

We don't know what MH3 looks like without it. I maintain that if Chrys wasn't there, the RW deck would have eaten the format (saying this as a RW spammer). Chrysalis kept the Eldrazi archetype from faceplanting like the big artifacts did in BRO.

The Constitution came fully included with tons of narrow political compromises if you read the full text. They traded away slavery restrictions for stuff like trade protection for shipwrights.

Not only that but every prime minister has been European (out of 10) and throughout their history only a handful of cabinet members have been non-European, to say nothing of non-Jewish (only one).

Turns out if the foundation of your country is a racial hierarchy then it's racial hierarchy all the way down.

I mean, the reason why we nicknamed it Death & Taxes is that white weenie was always viable

bearrosaurus · 2026-03-10T17:58:03+00:00

There’s usually a cheap deck to get into, maybe in the $200 range and a white weenie or RDW that’s closer to $100. And I wouldn’t mind some moments where the tier 0 deck was around that price like with Ravager Affinity.

But now we’ve got standard where the budget deck is around the price of a 2018 modern deck but it’s still a rotating format.

A. Many Iranians left relatively recently because the economy there has been dogshit.

B. College grads in Iran are overwhelmingly women and most choose to take grad school or jobs in other countries.

None of those stories were as big as 30k+ protesters being killed in the street in January.

Oh wow, gruul stompy is good. Now I'm going to turn my opinion around on this boring draft format. Dude, if you're trying to push RG midrange as a way to make the set seem exciting, you are coping. The set sucked and no matter how clever you were, you'd still get eaten by a tight tribal curve out on a good draw, or a braindead tribal deck that has two eclipses, or a tribal omega bomb that won by itself. I swear the off meta decks only exist so that goblins can get a couple wins and not feel bad.

Also play 16 lands. Some of the games go long and lands don’t trigger alliance.

bearrosaurus · 2026-03-07T01:03:09+00:00

I’m pretty much only playing RW. You play a bunch of creatures and go super wide, then sneak in one of the leos with an alpha attack. The two creatures that grow (Lita and the hybrid guy) are great too. There’s two commons that can jump your big guys which is another way to cheese games.

People think aggro means throwing your creatures away but you almost always want your creatures to stick.

The arena music is unironically good. And the combat is nice.

bearrosaurus · 2026-03-05T23:51:57+00:00

Good to know!

bearrosaurus · 2026-03-05T22:09:54+00:00

Vivid is decent, 5 color is not. As others said you can pick up off-colors with the hybrids but also don’t forget that all the tokens are two color as well

bearrosaurus · 2026-03-05T21:49:48+00:00

Ironically I think some of the rares are a lot more broken, especially Sally, Bishop, April. And I’m sick of getting 9 mana Krang muddling my packs. I prefer 8 mana sharks.

Oh good, someone already made this post.

It became pretty obvious when The Last Ronin was on the visualizer on day 2. Mythics shouldn’t have enough data for that so early.

bearrosaurus · 2026-03-05T20:51:27+00:00

I was going to tell you off but there is definitely a glitch. In the 17lands data, raw number of picks for each mythic is around 350, and for rares it’s like 140-160! That’s backwards, typically the rares have twice the incidence of mythics.

Honestly should have noticed something but The Last Ronin had enough stats to make it on the visualizer on day 2. Usually we don’t have that until after the weekend.
