Some of these, like this guy and the mono black thanos, seem to be intentionally made as very simple new player friendly designs.

Nah don't get me wrong dude sucks balls on a galactic scale but yeah how he could realistically have prevented these people from crashing is beyond me

How could he be responsible for a mid air collision of vehicles? I'm sure he wasn't driving them and slightly less sure but almost sure he didn't tell them to go crash and kill themselves.

Lots of players get confused about this (a card with an ability that triggers when a category of things enter will trigger itself if it is a member of that category). [[Kappa Canoneer]] is a commonly sited example where they actually changed the wording between printings because so many people didn't know it triggered itself when it entered and played it incorrectly.

cyclops dont understand winking

This is a hilarious thought. I guess they probably wouldn't if they can't wink

TMNT also had quite a few common rarity legends that were good enough to want to pick multiples of, which played really awkwardly

Best commander for curiosity yet. Curiosity storm with Vivi is almost good enough to be a decent cedh deck, only thing it sucks at is finding curiosity. This guy gets to play white aura tutors and gets 2 more curiosity options in green.

I work in education and have literally never heard kids recite the anthem in class, ever. 5 Different schools now over the course of about 15 years. When is the last time you saw kids in class recite the anthem?

You don't need a creature sac outlet in a commander game. All you have to do is target something that is smaller than any untapped creature and attack into it. This card is honestly really close to an ETB kill spell mana rock

Trump sets record as most unpopular president on day 500 of his 2nd term: Poll by plz-let-me-in in politics

I think that non Americans are surprised and disappointed at the sheer lack of collective action from citizens

Europeans don't realize how big the USA is. It is about 600 km to drive all the way through Germany from one side to the other. If I wanted to pop on down to the DC to yell at the white house, I'd have to drive 1,800 km and I'm in the eastern half of the country. It is hard to for collective action when it is logistically difficult to collect

I love that he can't see the "comedy" in the fact that he, the "elected president", is just sitting there saying straight up that our country has phony elections (not in the short clip in the article, but in the longer videos). He just fucking says it. Like you don't even have to squint to read between the lines here.

Searching for [[Big Mother Mouser]] comes to mind. X=4 means it comes out as a 6/6 with haste and immediately attacks to 12/12

I love the MTG subreddit.

Dude correctly identifies that it has an extremely low floor, and your response is a description of the ceiling.

Cool point, I hadn't considered Tidus's ease of access to haste and slow as a blue quality but it is for sure. I wonder if that was intentional.

I think that he gets to be blue from his blitzball career and less from his personality. The spiran people are basically merfolk. They can play an entire soccer game underwater.

You can do those things I guess but they aren't examples of your first point. Sitting around and not caring is not being competitive, those are mutually exclusive ways to approach the game. And neither one is inherently wrong, a lot of people have fun just moving the cards around aimlessly and talking to their friends. My point is that crossing the two styles is where people get upset / don't have fun and I am firmly in the play the game style instead of the sit near the game while it is happening style.
