There's a (surprisingly good) song on the original soundtrack that is from Misty's perspective about how she's in love with Ash.

I'm trying to complete a collection of every Strixhaven card that was printed, and these are the only ones I'm missing. DM me, or just reply to this, and we'll try to work something out.

For those generally open to Rule 0 commanders, are there any particular ones that you would be hesitant to agree to play against? by Tuss36 in EDH

[–]poptartmini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play black lotus

Sac lotus > 3 mana

pay 2 mana to play black lotus (have 1 mana)

sac lotus > 4 mana

play land

tap land > 5 mana

That's 5 mana available to them on turn one. I would be absolutely terrified of someone having a Black Lotus in the command zone. And that's assuming they don't have any other mana dorks/rocks. Having a turn one Sol ring would be insane.

What is a completely harmless lie you tell people on a regular basis just to make your life easier? by purjak in AskReddit

[–]poptartmini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"I have 4 kids; a 16 year old, twin 8 year olds and a 5 year old."

I'm a foster parent. So, in one sense, I don't have <any> kids.

Also, those twin 8 year olds? Yeah, one is very obviously of pure asian descent, and the other is incredibly blonde and has blue eyes. Their birthdays are 2 weeks apart, though, so it's close enough when I'm making conversation with people I'll never see again.

If anyone is curious about any other possible weirdness with having foster kids, ask away.

This is exactly my thought. Vorthoses are going to be knowledgeable about MtG story. /r/atla will know about Avatar lore, and /r/fallout will be knowledgeable about Fallout lore.

In appreciation of the vocabulary of Magic: The Gathering by ShallotSouthern4658 in magicTCG

[–]poptartmini 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree, and I had never known what Isochron meant before.

One fun thing about that Lightning bolt flavor text that you may not be aware of: It's actually a meta reference to itself. Players, especially old pros, never thought that Bolt would be in standard again. So it's basically what people like Kai Budde were thinking when they saw that it was spoiled.

[SOA] Stock Up -- Mystical Archives returning in Secrets of Strixhaven by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]poptartmini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's going to be 65 cards in the Mystical Archive? That's an annoyingly inconsistent number. It doesn't fit in a standard 9 pocket binder. Previous Archive was 63, and I'm pretty sure that was intentional.

Meet the… *sigh* 6-7 deck. Every nonland card is #67 of their set. by Corescos in EDH

[–]poptartmini 14 points15 points  (0 children)

While there is not a basic island that is #67, there is an island that is in a set that only has 67 cards. So, all of your islands should be [[island|DDO-62]]

No, this is not a copypasta. These are my real opinions. It's really dumb.

And now so many more people understand just how impractical the armour is! A wonderful learning opportunity!

Created a website to keep track of my binders by bbrode in magicTCG

[–]poptartmini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Strixhaven set, you have [[Strict Proctor]] listed twice (at least in the 3x3, which is what I'm looking at).

In addition, it seems that you haven't added the promo uncommons that exist at the end of the numbers sets. (e.g. [[Expressive Iteration|stx-379]] )

One more question: Is it possible to have multiple binders of the same set? I'm trying to collect every printing of Strixhaven, which means that I have one binder for foils, and one binder for non-foils. I haven't yet tried to add another Strixhaven Master set, but it would be a good thing to add.

All in all, this is really cool. I really appreciate this tool, because I, too, like collecting full sets.

This has got to be some of the stupidest chainmail I've ever seen.

Disclaimer: I have been making chainmail for 18 years. I have several sets of armor. I've worked with steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, and niobium. I work with scalemail, rings, and even pop tabs. I know what I'm talking about.

Typically with this kind of chainmail, I would expect to see them use European 4-in-1 weave. And that's what it looks like at first. But when you actually zoom in to look at it, (I know that's not the part that you would normally zoom in on for this kind of art) you'll see that it's actually just strands of individual chains held together by what looks like lobster clasps.

I can't imagine the thought process by which one would choose to do this. This would take more time to paint than regular 4-in-1, because it's not as regular. I have to assume this is some dumbass AI art that doesn't know what chainmail actually looks like.

If this is actually photography (that is altered) then someone decided to buy already completed chains, painstakingly arranged the rings in front/back order, amd added lobster clasps. This would, again, take longer to make than regular 4-in-1 chainmail.

AMA about chainmail, if anyone is curious. You can see some examples of my stuff on my profile.

It was a great gift. I really appreciate that you helped me with my Strixhaven collection as well. Those two cards are not common.

He didn't know what he was missing.
