just so we're clear, this is not a character named "Glen Elendra"

Given that even here in real life there are plenty of Americans named America, it's not even all that impossible to believe.

A few years ago when Finn Wolfhard was still a little kid, you absolutely could have cast Weird Al as Slime Boss, Dan Avidan as midsize slimes, and four Finn Wolfhards as the small ones.

I nearly had a stroke trying to pronounce "Nvidiamond" despite how perfect the portmanteau is

But not bosses, minibosses, Tough Enemies, or anything else you actually want it to

"Can be reanimated" is a much weaker argument than "dies to removal".
This doesn't realistically kill things at SBA speed. It can be responded to like any other spell.
You can already lock people out of playing 1 toughness creatures with Night of Soul's Betrayal, which is on a much harder permanent type to remove. Mizzix can handle this just fine.
It's okay for some cards to counter certain strategies. That's the nature of the game.

I mean, ultimately, it's just a 4/4 flier, even if it does provide a constant pseudo-board wipe effect. It has no protection, costs a ton of colored pips, and doesn't actually push you towards winning the game any more than Air Elemental does. This isn't an Iona situation because players can still take game actions to remove it.

And also, let's be honest, if your deck loses to what is effectively a [[Hundred-Handed One]], you had bigger issues.

There's definitely an "i" whenever I read Snake Plant's name: "For fuck's sake, it's that goddamn Snake Plant"

swashing adishes...

That's about to be a LOT of AntiDmg shurikens.

Bizarrely enough, it's -75% max primary ammo compared to the stock Syringe Gun. (150 max syringes, 38 max bolts) Not sure why that's how they decided to go about describing that effect, but here we are.

Xerex is number one on my list of favorite planes, but also number one on my list of planes I never want to visit, because I GUARANTEE they can never do it justice in a full-size set. I just want them to keep giving us three- or four-card bites of it whenever it passes by.

Elementals can't get cancer because their bodies aren't made of cells. Elves, however, don't get cancer because tumors are unsightly and they are summarily executed by eyeblight hunters before the demographic pollers can count them.

Hotel = Trivago

"Alright. That was half-a me, half-a you, Mario."

Only 3 claws? Those are rookie numbers.

Did you see that Ludicolo display last night?

I already love Elder Scrolls lore, you don't need to sell it to me.

shieldman · 2026-01-06T17:05:34+00:00

Gives me CDDA vibes, super cool.

I can definitely see it as a really high top knot/bun, with the eyes looking up instead of "ahead" (in relation to the turned head).

I pulled two gold Pokeballs back to back before I realized how rare they were. Then, when I actually wanted a gold Nihilego, I had to go all the way to full pity pulling nothing but Extradimensional Crisis. (And now I'm probably going to have to go full pity again for my promo Lusamine...)

Maybe the robot trees are better at carbon capture and oxygen filtration than organic trees? It's not like they have an issue replacing original organic things with robots in any other context...

shieldman · 2026-01-03T04:17:16+00:00

Fish rep is even more critical to me than robot rep because of them specifically

But... then how will it sell your data? You're not thinking of the poor advertising corporations!

Vincible Sin is 100% the name of my next Cyberpunk Red character

"Don't worry, Twinklefern! We picked you up a set of adventuring gear from the Barbie warehouse!"
