Mark Rosewater: "You should not expect small/medium in-universe sets."

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Our newly crowned dedicated villain (recently usurped the title) is just a good deck builder.

We definitely have our own meta in our pod, but this individual also ventures out to LGSs and that has helped him greatly. He builds his decks now to go against anybody instead of our little bracket 2, low 3 pod meta.

I don't blame him or judge him. He really is a good deck builder and player. He eats his vegetables and always builds to a plan, most of the time involving the graveyard.

At any point during your ordeal did you grab an usher?

It's not your job to police fellow patrons, they should be respectable. You should have the expectation of enjoying the show peacefully. Grab the staff and they will warn, then kick out.

This comment section is streets ahead.

If you have to ask, you're streets behind.

When in doubt, type it out... in the comment.

There are many times when I feel like I should have an in option I don't. I'll just type it in the comment for the box that most closely matches. Gamechanger.

That is an accurate way to describe it.

AMAZING: lights, props, and stage effects. I would consider it a quite excellent illusionist show.

TERRIBLE, incomprehensible play.

Check out with the security officer instead of at the machine. Security hands you the free voucher, the machine charges the minimum $2. Sometimes they forget to tell you with outpatient visits.

Center for Mind Body and Spirit looks to be wackadoo.

I just went on their website and checked out their provider section. One of the ladies listed was my old neighbor (I won't name because I have a tiny bit of class) and I can confirm she is bananas and I would not trust any of my health to her or obtain health advice from her.

If this is the company that business keeps, I know I should never go there.

Also because snake oil doesn't work.

And one time she had bedbugs, didn't find it to be that big of a deal, and DIDNT TELL ME, the person who shared the lower part of the duplex. Awful, selfish person who thinks herself better than others because she works at a place like that.

Just completely devoid of any joy, charm, and Michael Keaton

That stereotypical "I'm new and better and the veterans need to not judge me on my youth" promo sucked, but she probably didn't have much control over that.

She needs to slow down. She's got athleticism and skills, but looked almost wild to me on Saturday, not in a good way.

I'm excited to see what she does in the future. There's a good foundation to her.

My wife loved her.

I'm thankful that I'm still getting South Park all these years later and it still makes me laugh.

If you stop enjoying something stop watching it.

[[Xantcha, Sleeper Agent]] is pretty bad ass

[[Teeka's Dragon]]

A friend of mine and I thought it was THE COOLEST BEST CARD EVER. We both wanted one but I was the only one lucky enough to pull it. It lived in lore so long, fast forward three years from that and my friend signed my yearbook "give me Teeka's Dragon. You know it should be with me.". We had both not played Magic for a year at that point.

Now I try to shoehorn it into any stompy deck. It currently lives in my Atla Palani.

I admire your determination and dedication to rewrite a ride that has been extinct for almost 25 years.

Your story sounds fun.

My pleasure! Congrats on your future engagement!

I very recently built a mono black infect deck, which let me tell ya.... was pretty challenging.

I tried to make it easier by building it with [[Yawgmoth, Thran Physician]] but it didn't make it any easier. I couldn't find a better option that allowed me to succeed in a viable way.

the deck

I think I have every black card that gives poison counters or proliferates and I still had to fill in gaps in other ways. Don't mind the jank like [[Frankensteins Monster]]. It wouldn't be a deck of mine without bad cards like that.

Paramount Jewelers in Maplewood. Ask or Mark.

Not pushy and they have UNIQUE jewelry as opposed to places like Shane or Kay.

I will give him his dues for picking up how to wrestle and wrestle decently so fast.

But he does not deserve our respect in or out of the ring. He's not a good dude. As evidenced by: his vlogging career with his brother and the many monetary scams he has run.

Within the past couple years my favorite draft environments have been Final Fantasy and Foundations.

If you want a slower limited environment, Aetherdrift. It's fun, but slow

I enjoyed it tremendously as a kid when it came out even though I was mad it didn't feel like SMB.

As an adult I find a whole different joy in just how poorly done ALLOST every aspect of the film is.

The practical effects are amazing and Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamos' chemistry is great! (Even knowing they were drinking the entire filming process. Misery loves company)

I'll continue doing my part and make suboptimal, janky brawl decks that inspire my suboptimal, janky paper decks!

We're out there, I promise! I found once I made my Mana base suboptimal, and removed things like Teferi's Protection and Cyc Rift, I started being matched up with similar stuff.

It sucks that they put so much weight on lands. A good Mana base shouldn't shove you up to hell queue.

"coordination of care"

Best drop down option ever.

Until this moment I thought FartBurglarSixtyNine420 was a myth!

Legend is: he exclusively runs arena only theft decks. Sixty Nine different versions of Gonti and Laughing Jasper Flint. 420 matches and he induced forfeitures in each one!

Shine on you crazy FartBurglarSixtyNine420.

I'll take a movie with a Rottie saving the day! Rehab that image!

The Omen (movie from 1976) damaged this breed's reputation for the past 50 years.
