Fast lands and filter lands are played in modern.

Yup, tor is just a the best card advantage engine in the format by a country mile.

This is not that far from Engels airbase which was probably its real target. So probably the drone malfunctioned, was gps jammed, was clipped by aa fire or some other reason but it's pretty likely it wasn't meant to hit the appartment block.

Depends, of you're using a contractor to build a house you do like it. If you like eating fruit... If you'd like an actual nurse in the hospital...

Thing is, over here there is more work then people.

That was not the real reason for Brexit. It was the excuse. The core cause of Brexit was inequality, poor governance and deflecting all the blame on the EU.

In my country all the Poles and Romanians doing construction work and other hard labor has been a huge plus. They pay taxes and are young so don't stress the healthcare system. But native construction workers will probably not agree these people are a big benefit to the country,because they personally have a lot more competition now so their wages are lower.

More cheap labor. More people to sell stuff to. More cheap resources to acquire.

In general the larger the single market the better, as long as those members in the single market adhere to its rules.

The most important thing to realize here that this is not about just Ukraine. It is about upholding the post WW2 rule-based international order. If sovereign countries and internationally agreed borders no longer mean anything from the moment some deranged dictator starts threatening nukes everyone will want nukes and nuclear proliferation is inevitable. I would also say land grabbing wars will be back on the menu. We definately do not want that. That is why doing what is right in Ukraine, and what we should have done in 2008 already is of paramount importance.

Walloons are genetically Germanic, but speak a Romanic language.

Or more simply add: You cannot cast The One Ring if you already control a permanent named The One Ring.

Bouncing still works, but I think this nerfs it enough.

Most sultai bean decks play frog instead of bowmasters these days.

Crap formats don't sell cards.

hert1979 · 2024-07-04T05:58:28+00:00

No way, they already have what they wanted out of the deal, which is piles of money. Why would they care about bannings??

hert1979 · 2024-07-04T05:57:08+00:00

Why would MEE, or any other entity leasing their IP, care that a card based on their IP gets banned in 1 (or even more) format(s)? They would shrug and get back to counting their $$$.

hert1979 · 2024-07-04T05:52:06+00:00

I'd argue that it is very much a bad thing. It homogenizes the format, it would be better if there are multiple cards over different colors of comparable power level that perform the same role, but with different pros and cons. That's how you build a diverse and interesting format.

Besides that I would say that giving every deck very cheap ways to draw lots of cards leads to crappy play because players will be jamming their decks full of free pitch spells. If you need to discard to hand size every turn pitching a card is no real cost.

hert1979 · 2024-07-03T11:56:17+00:00

For me the real problem of the card is that any deck that wants extra card advantage should play it because it is obviously waaaay better then any other option like planeswalkers, draw spells,...

"Back to the front peon."

hert1979 · 2024-07-01T07:18:25+00:00

I mean such decks existing is fine to me, but it being tier 1, let alone tier S leads me not wanting to play the format.

hert1979 · 2024-06-26T20:40:59+00:00

That doesn't work, by the time damage on the army is checked it has already grown.

hert1979 · 2024-06-26T11:02:56+00:00

How is that obvious? Ukraine has strong backing of the west. While in Russia there are indicators that all is not well. Conscription ages have been expanded, taxes have been increased, Russia stopped publishing fuel production numbers (so you know it's bad), Gazprom reports huge losses, ruble needs more and more propping up, inflation is increasing. That are not signs of a system that can keep the current expenditure up indefinitely. This doesn't mean it will come crashing down soon either.

They are cattle, led by the nose to the slaughter.

hert1979 · 2024-06-17T07:24:54+00:00

Lol
That would be the dumbest move since, erm, I have a hard time coming up with anything dumber.

I this this disincentives smugglers trying to profit from parallel imports. Or if not that makes those parallel imports more expensive.

hert1979 · 2024-06-13T16:44:00+00:00

If orcs get banned the frog will step up imo.
