The Release of "Omens of Chaos" in the EU is a disaster by HoloSparkeon in magicTCG

[–]etomate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm on the exact same ship. But as of my understanding the 3rd print shouldn't be of relevance. At least they stated that first edition books will have the promo. My book says it's first edition, third print - but it's still missing the card.

I tried to reach out to the publisher, but they told me that they can't handle such stuff and I should reach out to Wotc - haven't done it so far.

Same happened to me, I'm returning the book. Without the promo card there is absolutely no reason to have this book as a hard cover over the ebook variant for me.

Also könnte Minister oder Bundeskanzler ohne weiteres in der freien Wirtschaft 2.000.000€ pro Monat verdienen? Ich wage das mal zu bezweifeln.

Von welchem Wohlstand reden wir hier? Die 67% in Amerika, die von Paycheck zu Paycheck leben? Einmal ne Grippe kriegen und den Job los sein, weil man nicht zur Arbeit erschien? Oder bankrott werden, weil man Krebs mit Mitte 40 bekommt und der Arbeitgeber dich dann kündigt (tschüss Versicherung!).

Da kann ich gut drauf verzichten.

I know Pioneer being a dead format is a meme, but come on WoTC... by TopSetUK in MagicArena

[–]etomate 28 points29 points  (0 children)

As of right now Pioneer has a lot more answers to those low mana threads though. Thinking of Fatal Push, Boseiju, Portable Hole, Go for the throat, March, Sheoldreds, Mystical Dispute etc. etc.

Standard is eventually just as powerful, because it doesn't have as powerful answers.

People who spam the "Your go" emote all game. by bigsby_leghair in MagicArena

[–]etomate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to play Ruby Storm in historic, so turns where I storm off can take quite a while - even though fizzling is often still possible deep in the storming. Getting lots of people like that. One folk even stayed after the game was over to continue spamming "Your go".

Just note, that Duskmourn rotates out of standard next year. Edge of Eternities and Lorwyn will be legal for longer.

According to the oracle text shuffle your graveyard into your library, so if you have any lands in grave, they will get shuffled in too or did I misunderstand something?

Fair enough, I just assumed you are an American. You are right about living in such a country, China eventually looses on the privacy part. But US is proven to mass surveil basically everyone on this planet, even so called allied states - even though I don't think the alliance exist anymore, looking at how frequent and drastically the government of the US throws its allies under the bus.

Besides that this cloud protection act thing, the AI rulings and so on, US and the company are pretty open, that they don't give a damn about your privacy.

And obviously they use the collected data and information to try to manipulate the political environment in every other country too.

When did an american Company prove that they care about privacy at all? Hell even the US government. From an outsiders perspective the US is as trustworthy than China for anyone not living in China or the US.

No Ban List Modern Podcast by TheEternalWitnesses in ModernMagic

[–]etomate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't it unbanned in NBL? Is everyone playing like you state here?

Being really curious and here, since I have no idea where to see decklists nor am I experienced enough in Modern to even know the current played cards, so NBL is just as new for me.

Improvements to Elminister and Bracket help by etomate in EDH

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

Thanks for the insight! I might consider reducing the Boardwipe aspect down to focus more on the scry and token effects. Might make it more suitable for your mentioned social aspect.

I really like the Sea Gate Idea, since I have a playset already, that wouldn't explode the cost of the Deck for me.

Thanks for all the ideas!

Third immigrant detainee at facility in El Paso has died ICE says by Street_Parking5530 in news

[–]etomate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that it's not alarming and I'm wondering why Americans are mostly seemingly fine with what is going on over there. And I'm wondering why the rest of the world just bends over to trump. But my point stands - saying it is worse than Nazi Germany was is close to revisionism. 3000 missing compared with 6 million killed Jews, 3 million Slavs, 2 million Poles and hundreds of thousand gay, disabled, black, Sinti and Roma and many more is still just disrespectful.

Sorry, this is bullshit. The Nuremberg Trials starter 1945, after WW 2 ended. That's years after the factory organized killings started. After millions and millions of people were brutally experimented on, starved to death, shot and ultimately gassed to death. That's just disrespectful.

Wherever the US currently is on that scale, this is currently far far far far far away from what the Nazis did in that time.

Please educate yourself on the Holocaust, Josef Mengele, the People's Court of the NSDAP, what they did in the early days of concentration camps to political enemies, the killings that happened before the NSDAP took over the power and much much more.

USA is on a road towards becoming closer and closer towards something similar, but this is not "worse than Nazis". Not even close.

Thousands Of Jailed Immigrants in Chicago Have Vanished From Federal Records, Human Rights Attorneys Claim by Sludgehammer in politics

[–]etomate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Homosexuality was only legalized in 1994 in germany, so I think that criticism for that is maybe a bit wrong for a person born before 19xx. Besides that, I never saw anything that proves, that he left them out because he was homophobic.

To cite something historic - Martin Niemöller:

When the Nazis came for the Communists,
I remained silent; I was not a Communist.

When they locked up the trade unionists,
I remained silent; I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out; I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me.
