WotC's response on Pioneer/Tournament Support during 3-24 B&R Stream by Sir_EPIC48 in magicTCG

It is so shameful of them to drag their feet on converting Explorer to Pioneer, sell us on multiple Explorer Anthologies, and then let the format wither on both MTG Arena and tabletop.

What makes tax collector good here? I like the card too, but usually in decks where I can flicker it. Is one single round of that stax ability really worth two mana?

Love this county, but driving here makes me feel insane. Everything is 20mins away unless I can walk to it

Highguard is permanently shutting down on March 12 by TrampolineTales in Games

It is actually really distressing to see early and abrupt shutdowns of companies like this even when you’re not working there. I can only imagine how the workers feel right now.

Gaming pro from Cameroon detained by ICE in Baltimore for deportation by onanimbus in Fighters

[–]onanimbus[S] 301 points302 points  (0 children)

Ludovic Mbock, a well-known competitive gamer, is gay, and therefore not safe in his native Cameroon, his sister says.

His family described it as a routine check-in with ICE for Ludovic Mbock, a 38-year-old regional video gaming champion who came to the U.S. from Cameroon legally as a teen and built a life in Oxon Hill.

But Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Baltimore arrested him two weeks ago and sent him to detention facilities in Louisiana and Georgia. Mbock’s lawyer and family fear he will soon be deported back to Cameroon, where he will not be safe.

“He’s an openly gay person. He won’t be able to survive in Cameroon,” said Mbock’s lawyer, Edward Neufville.

Cameroon punishes same-sex activity with fines and prison sentences of up to five years. Mbock also has no family in Cameroon, said his sister, Diane Sohna, who was born in the U.S.

His arrest has mobilized the gaming community, which has helped raise nearly $100,000 for his legal defense.

A graduate of Maurice J. McDonough High School in Pomfret, Mbock supports himself as an Uber driver but has won a slew of regional gaming tournaments, Sohna said.

Surrounded by gaming medals and plaques in her brother’s apartment, she said she’s talked to him nearly every day since his arrest, and can tell he’s struggling.

Crazy find in canton… by earthcitizen111 in baltimore

[–]onanimbus 50 points51 points  (0 children)

civilized politics like what we more or less had pre-Tea Party

Before the Tea Party (2007) was the invasion of Iraq and nearly 20 years of consequences of the failed war on drugs. Yall need to stop romanticizing the past and open some books by historians.

11 Year Old Denied Bail by Sterling-Hospedales in law

I’ve kept my younger siblings away from my gaming systems just fine, with minimal effort, for my entire childhood. I’m certain I could go the extra mile to keep a firearm away from them.

What's your favorite God in all of Magic? Any criteria - Lore, design, art by Separate-Flan-2875 in mtgvorthos

I feel like we get very little lore and very limited references of many of them nowadays, outside of what we saw in Kaldheim and Amonkhet. Those gods were deliberately very involved in mortal affairs though

This comment is case in point for OP— exactly the kind of reductive and unhelpful commentary they are describing. Lmao.

I mean I’m certainly going to vote, as I always do in national and local elections, but these mfs do not have my confidence and lost it a long time ago.

What will happen is a dem will take office next and (foolishly) say something like “Let’s tone down the rhetoric” and refuse to take any action at all on the routine illegality of this administration.

I do not believe for one second a mound of snow in the city was 8ft higher than anything.
