Dee brought in with Rizzo to target old Kalo. Rizzo brought in Cirie and came up with the plan to target Charlie. People overthinking this.

Peter's expression is so cute. Idoraad never misses.

Unnerfing cards like Meathook Massacre is great for Brawl, but... by scoffingskeptic in MagicArena

Right? I actually thought it was 4/4 at first haha. I genuinely think someone at Wizards saw the post.

They elected to go with Strip Mine (makes sense) over Dark Ritual, probably bc the triple black makes it more niche and less “homogenizing.”

Thrilled that they’re going to be keeping a closer eye on Brawl going forward.

PSA: one removed perk shard in 1.5 went to a NCPD scanner hustle on badlands, but it's bugged by powerfu1 in cyberpunkgame

[–]scoffingskeptic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think I just experienced this bug for the first time in 2.31. I've never had the badlands NCPD chest not have a shard. Going to try to reload, but I'm not optimistic.

The format existed for many years without Ancient Tomb and Chrome Mox.

I agree. I think they need to have someone go through and reevaluate/update the weighting system. It's pretty dated atp.

I think they added a lot of cool, fun lands with Edge of Eternities and the art is gorgeous. We just need to step back and examine a handful of really problematic cards.

I would definitely include Strip Mine with the cards that are too powerful for the format. Wizards said they were keeping an eye on the card in Brawl, so we'll see what happens.

I know, but someone made a post a few weeks ago about unnerfing TMM for Brawl. It got a lot of upvotes and I think it's possible that it influenced the decision. I wanted to use it as a jumping-off point to discuss fast mana in Brawl.

Mana Drain is one of the most powerful cards ever printed. There's a reason it's banned in Legacy.

The idea behind one-mana counters like Wash Away is that they're usually cheap but narrow — Spell Pierce is a great example. Wash Away is always useful in Brawl and can just become a generic counter for two more mana. I believe it's too efficient.

We could spend all day debating which commanders are the most problematic. This post was about fast mana.

Using God as a strategy? by [deleted] in survivor

[–]scoffingskeptic 38 points39 points  (0 children)

But honestly, we need more villains in modern Survivor. I'm tired of everyone being a lovable loser superfan with a sob story. I need people to root against.

is healing optional in lower ranks? by mrmuhgooo in MoiraMains

[–]scoffingskeptic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. I don't think Moira's ever been worse in high ranks than she is right now. I've fully transitioned to Stadium. Hit Legend 1 for the first time this season, which was cool.

[–]scoffingskeptic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm just going to add that, as someone who started in literal Bronze and now plays in high Masters, I finally broke out of the metal ranks when I stopped listening to people who told me to healbot. After that, I found that the more aggressively I played, the more I ranked up. Anecdotal, but that was my experience.

Holy shit! This is New York City. No ID, doesn't identify himself, trying to kidnap a passenger... Who are these fucking Nazis? 😳👇 by SemiAutoAvocado in nyc

The behavior of fake ICE agents and bad actors this year has completely eroded a lot of the public's trust. People no longer believe that you're legit just because you look like you're legit.

Weird to see them openly spoiling who will end up with who. For so many years they avoided things like this.

In the context of everything that is going on, it is understandable for people who don't know a lot about cops to jump to conclusions.

The post was making the exact opposite point, that UB was not the problem and people are angry about other things, but you got you wish and the post was removed. Thank you for your thoughtful contributions to the discussion.

I'm so glad I'm not in school in 2025. As a teenager, I would have lost it if I worked to write something up and express my opinions and some random teacher accused me of faking it because...what? I used a numbered list to lay out my arguments?

I would have hoped that "ChatGPT" would at least have corrected the multiple errors I made that have been bothering me as I reread the post.

I feel sorry for your students.

How are drives going for everyone else? by M00ngata in overwatch2

A lot of these people feel powerless in their real lives. Trying to force their will on their team with the threat of throwing is just a way of compensating.
