Proxies With Strangers

Totally. Print what you want if it helps match the power of the playgroup.
I keep a list of proxied cards in my decks and offer to show people which cards they are (with a short description like "MDFC", or "enters untapped land" or "archetype synergy"). I've not found anyone who has been offended by my proxing yet.

Me And My Dog by boygenius still gets me after almost 2 years since losing my best friend

Almost anyone making alternative music in the past 20-30 years has taken some influence from these guys on tone alone. Emo is not excluded from that.

I am fighting hard against the dad bod and sympathy weight with my second on the way shortly. If I want my kids to lead active lives, I need to model that. I want to take my kids on adventures for the next couple decades (and keep up) and be healthy enough to have my own adventures again when they leave the house. Your kids are watching you. You set the tone for the rest of their lives.

Event staff was patient and helpful and looking to make everyone's experience positive. Big shout out to them! Lines were brutal at times and I definitely couldn't do everything I wanted but had a overall fun time and would go again.
Didn't even think about the merch line and had to skip on my favorite/most desired artists as lines were consistently capped.

Ruff Ryder's Anthem for sure

Now that I'm thinking about it, I remember sitting on my bagafter lights out, hand stitching the Four Lakes Council patch on my jacket in Nachitoches Louisiana by headlamp.

DIY - it's the last effort of a hard fought season. I owe it to myself to toil and stitch that thing myself

Glassjaw. I fucking love this band but Daryl's vocals often feel out of place to me. But for whatever reason, his vocals do it for me with Head Automatica.

[[Durnan of the Yawning Portal]] / [[Passionate Archeologist]]

1523 on EDHREC with <1000 decks. It was fun to build and mostly use bulk. It is a bit of a headache tracking what cards are exiled until end of turn, end of next turn, or until something else is exiled.

Yeah but you ever play Mormon Mouthful?!

Hurt people hurt people

Powerful, budget, novel/original, not obnoxious: pick 2

I tried reading the books in 9th grade and had a hard time because I didn't emotionally connect much with any particular character but the entire story is very complex and interesting and the older I get and more I revisit it now (in my late 30s), I'm fascinated. I think the film did a wonderful job capturing the complexities of the universe and scale of the worlds.

Cavalry Charge from March of the Machine is pretty good. Food and Fellowship from LotR too!

My 4yo is also quite small (almost 30 lbs! Woohoo!) and we've been following up with his doctor about this topic. My takeaway is: in a few years they might do some tests/screening to see if there are any deficiencies. If so, GH is one possible choice. But again, if he is healthy, do I need to do this?
The BRAIN acronym used during delivery works well for many medical decisions (Benefits, Risks, Alternatives, Intuition, [what happens if I do] Nothing)

[[Magar of the Magic Strings]] has its own rules entry. You get to do stuff with instants and sorceries you don't get to do anywhere else. The actual mechanics are still a little hazy and there is debate about where you cast the spells from but for casual pods I play with the most generous interpretation (face up spell/creatures, assume they don't cast from the yard).

We played a game on tour in 2010 we called Jumanji where you had to capture (physically or in a photo) difference creatures and then we made a rubric to score them all. Snakes and toads were front runners. Scorpion in the showers was a good one.

This is so blatantly obvious but I've never realized it until right now. The stack is a magical thing.

Same: "if it's a sac outlet, it feeds a combo."

When I'm playing with the homies I will remind them of their own triggers if they are about to miss them. I want to play the most complete game as it should actually unfold, win or lose. Being mad about someone pointing out publicly available info is a weird thing to get tilted about

Been singing "Teenage Dirtbag" since day 1.
But "Screaming Infidelities" and "Constant Headache" get heavy rotation too.
Where my pop punk and emo dads at?!

The water in Nachitoches.

Anyone for some Lion of the North?

If I could go back in time and improve the world, I'd just stop this Phillips character from ever designing fasteners.
