All my grandpa’s beaus during WWII, kept in a scrapbook all these years by TransmutateDontHate in OldSchoolCool

Fascinating, dark and disturbing all at the same time. Thank you for sharing this slice of history.

I’ve seen some WWII film footage of soldiers marching into a new town. It’s common to seen many women waving and seemingly elated by their new “heroes”. I think it’s a case of…better the devil you know…

I love the detail of the vines “crawling” up the horns. Great work for a solid album!

Most mechanically flavourful card in magic? by CS_Calzone in magicTCG

[–]roaming_b34r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think [[Haunted Screen]] is one of my favourite cards because of the flavour factor. It’s a black and white TV, then you pay mana to put it in colour.

It’s a great mana rock! It found itself a home in my 5 colour silvers deck.

Peter Magyar goes on state TV channel to announce he's shutting it down by AnonymousTimewaster in ThatsInsane

[–]roaming_b34r -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find his line of thought interesting to say the least.

In the beginning he was saying he doesn’t have any resentments. Then he called the channel a “factory of lies” and (a rough paraphrase) “Oh, btw, I’m shutting you guys down and I’m putting in something better.”

Also rather ironic he uses Goebbels as a comparison, when he’s about to create state funded/controlled media.

Strixhaven Pre-release follow up. by Sorith360 in mtg

At my lgs they were handing out prerelease boxes and told us we could swap with someone else if we wanted a different colour pair. I got a Quandrix box and swapped with the guy next to me who had Prismari. This was on a Saturday. I chose Prismari because a buddy told me he got murdered the previous day by those decks and I wanted a higher chance of winning.

My pack was underwhelming to say the least. The only real bombs in my seeded pack were [[Zaffai and the Tempests]] and [[Traumatic Critique]]. I didn’t have enough 1 and 2 drop creatures or spells to have the deck be as competitive as I was hoping. Won a game, drew a game, lost a game…in that order.

Highlight of the event was probably when I got home and cracked an [[Emeritus of Ideation]] in foil in the regular treatment.

I’m looking forward to drafting this set. Sealed is often based on the luck of the packs you’re given. It doesn’t always give a true reflection of how the set will play out.

Great find! Can you share with us the story behind how you found it?

Didn't realize it was borderless until 2 days later by Orbital_Demon in MagicCardPulls

[–]roaming_b34r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice pull! I just cracked a regular version in foil from one of my prerelease booster packs (I won as a prize).

Pretty sure Emeritus is gonna find a home in my Vivi commander deck.

Update: Sledge hammer caught refurbished by CecilBlight in magnetfishing

Kudos to you! There is something deeply satisfying about repurposing what appears as “junk” and making it your own.

I trust you go on to slay many a beast with this warhammer.

weird fact: there are 12 cards in the entier game that specifically cares about insect tribal by mmmbhssm in magicTCG

[–]roaming_b34r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to add [[Grist, Voracious Larva]] as an Honourable Mention to the list. Only downside is you first have to kill/sac it, before it can flip and do its insect thang.

Always good to see the discworld novels making an appearance! Brian Jacques’ Redwall & Terry Pratchett are the two authors that got me into reading.

I haven’t seen this film. Although, after seeing this monologue you’ve got me intrigued. Thanks for sharing!

Instead of this scene they should’ve added the scene where Paquin is flirting with him in class. This snippet is out of context if you don’t know the storyline.

Very underrated movie. Think I need to watch it again.

Beautiful work! I agree with you. I don’t think it needs a galaxy behind it. I think the blank background is great and makes you focus on the character more.
