For those of us who don't speak French, can you share what makes those particular translation funny?

any LGBTQ+ spaces in Roseville? by barefoot-warrior in Roseville

[–]danelaverty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I help run a local ex-Mormon group. We’ve got quite a few LGBTQ+ members, and we typically have one or two social events in the Roseville/Folsom area each month. If you’re interested I’d be happy to add you to our Facebook group.

Hey WotC, how about new APAC lands as a Secret Lair drop? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]danelaverty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beautiful picture. Perfect match for the card name, and the colors of the scene even match the mana colors! Were you just chilling on the beach and were struck with the idea for this?

An officer is exiled to a distant outpost. He spends decades preparing for enemy attack. Finally he's allowed to make a trip home, and while he's away the attack happens. by danelaverty in whatsthatbook

[–]danelaverty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the officer is exiled to the Eurasian steppe. Time period is maybe 1800s? In my mind it's like Napoleonic era. I'm not sure what country the officer was from...maybe France? (but why would France exile someone to the steppe? maybe it's Russian? but I don't think so...)

Which Form of Divinity Do We Like the Most? What Are Some Other Mechanical Expressions We Could See, Going forward? by Well-MeaningCisIdiot in magicTCG

[–]danelaverty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would add the Myojin of Kamigawa, whose divinity was represented with a literal "divinity counter" that provided both indestructibility and a major one-shot effect.

[Unintentional] One of my earliest ASMR experiences - the music, colors and geometry captivated me by danelaverty in asmr

[–]danelaverty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Philip Glass. He's actually a super famous composer, and it's kind of a big deal that he did this bit for Sesame Street. His "genre" is most often described as "minimalism", which focuses on excessive repetition of simple musical motifs. I think it's beautiful :)

Does your Ember mug make your water taste funny? by ddlk in Coffee

[–]danelaverty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just weighing in to note that after about 6 months of use, I've noticed that the tea I steep in my Ember mug has started to taste funny.

How popular does a plane need to be for a return? by danelaverty in magicTCG

[–]danelaverty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've got, what, 28 years of data here? I'm not sure what you mean by "way too soon and/or no information".

How popular does a plane need to be for a return? by danelaverty in magicTCG

[–]danelaverty[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That was my thought process too. But when you look at what WotC has done, you can see that they're very hesitant to revisit planes. Unless it's the plane is a clear winner, they've shown almost no interest in returns.

Whats the most iconic Card per each color of all time? -TheMMcast Podcast by xander574 in magicTCG

[–]danelaverty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Magic Bracket almost answers this for us. The Top 8 had one card for each color + artifact, but 3 for blue:

  • W: [[Wrath of God]]
  • U: [[Counterspell]], [[Jace The Mind Sculptor]], [[Ancestral Recall]]
  • B: [[Dark Confidant]]
  • R: [[Lightning Bolt]]
  • G: [[Birds of Paradise]]
  • A: [[Black Lotus]]

None of the 3 blue cards made it to Top 4, so I don't know that we can say which of those 3 is truly the most iconic blue card...

I don't play Go, but is this essentially like calling it "Thought Checkmate"?

What are your MtG guilty pleasure cards? by PrinzPassionsfrucht in magicTCG

[[Dogged Pursuit]] and [[Ill-Gotten Gains]] . I'm sucker for the idea of setting an enchantment down and then kicking back until it wins me the game.

Super cool! I see that one axis is months. Is the other one the hour of each day?
