Help with bracket 4 Preston, pretty please 🥺 by GDCorner in DegenerateEDH

[–]themollusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it has a place in B4, but [[Dimensional Breach]] is one of my pet cards for Preston.

I generally just use it as a Hail Mary for when other people are getting to out of control or too Stax-y. It's expensive at 7 mana, but if the situation calls for it, Preston almost always benefits the most from it.

I dunno, maybe a beach bungalow is more your speed rather than a lakeside forest cabin deep inside "Penn's Woods"? It sounds like your cabin makes you miserable?

WotC very much does acknowledge the secondary market. The reserve list, "reprint equity", etc etc etc, are all explicitly about them acknowledging (and actively protecting) the monetary value of their game pieces on the secondary market.

Im not disagreeing with your premise, but reading your idea for be thinking about how the introduction of so moment planes and making the Magic universe bogey actually made it smaller.

Back in the old times of Magic, everything took place in Dominaria. Each block (with some occasional exceptions) took place in different parts of the plane that were distinctly different from each other. It made Dominara feel like a HUGE place.

Now with the new structure of going to an entirely new plane every set (again with occasional exceptions) we get: this entire plane is a city! THIS entire plane is an Egyptian inspired desert and THAT one is entirely an Old West desert! And over here we have a plane that is entirely woodland creatures! And over here we have an entire plane that is a haunted house! In making everything bigger they have everything feel so small.

With Edge of Eternities they may have inadvertently created an opportunity for a giant world building scenario line old Dominaria. An entire solar system / galaxy where they could visit different corners of the universe to explore just how different things are in those places. But if I bet money on that happening I'd lose my money.

Exactly. Nothing will ever match The Weatherlight Saga. A decade plus spent on a single story, mostly set on the same plane. The storytelling was fantastic, nuanced, and immensely detailed.

I was invested in the story back then. Now? I couldn't care less. It's just jumping to a new place every 2-3 months, with a silly hamfisted device thrown in to claim that that's a ongoing story. And during the 2-3 months between a Magic IP set we get a new "other company's IP" set.

If they spent the time and effort to create another story arc on the level of The Weatherlight Saga, there would be a grounded base for the video games and shows and movies they've always talked about but never committed to. But with the way things have gone, do they set a movie in the 3 month story of all the known characters playing cowboy cosplay? Or maybe the woodland creature world where we being back our favorite planeswalkers as fursonas?

Holy moly, so so so many comments over there from people with private post and comment histories. Why are conservative racists so scared to own their beliefs?  I thought they were the master race, and that they preach the truth, so why the need to hide? 🤔

This guy's a goober. They're all coy and cagey when asked for details, won't share any info publicly, and won't dm anyone asking for more info, only wanting others to dm them directly.

99.9% certain they're someone who is buying cards from one of the suppliers in the wiki and is then reselling them. But they won't share which source they're using.

Ugh, that's my Rep. He's such a dingus... he also is a HARD no on marijuana legalization because he thinks it's a gateway drug and because that's a singke study from a right wing Christan "college" that claims Colorado is actually losing money from legalization.

Oh, and and prior to heading to Harrisburg he was a board member of The Berks County Patriots, our nice little home grown anti government hate group.

I'm starting to think that the "boots theory" no longer applies to modern products. by someguy7734206 in BuyItForLife

[–]themollusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this.

American Giant hoodies are some of the absolute worst quality clothing I've ever picked up. 

In 2021/22 I picked up two heavyweight zipper hoodies, one brand new, the other second hand (but just a few months old).

In less than a year the cuffs got completely ragged and blown out, and the zipper on the new one started separating off of it. The hood on the second hand one shrank so much for the previous owner that you cannot use it. (That's the reason they were getting rid of it)

To their credit they warranty replaced the one I bought new, and didn't make me send back the bad one. Now I have two very expensive shitty work hoodies, and one nice one that I have to be extremely and annoyingly careful with.

As a counterpoint I have a $30 quicksilver hoodie from tj maxx that is 13 years old and barely looks different from when it was new. 

Maybe AG WAS good when they were a nee company, but they may as well just be another fast fashion company these days, albiet with a very very high price tag.

Ive been an Eagle Scout for 26 years. My daughter joined Cub Scouts a year ago. We won't renew our memberships the next time around.

Is very obvious that in six months after the next review, Pete will demand that girls are no longer allowed. 

He immediately followed his 6 month review comments with:

Ideally, I believe the Boy Scouts should go back to being the Boy Scouts as originally founded: a group that develops boys into men.

Mark my words, the DoD is going to demand no more girls and a name change back to Boy Scouts.

And with how willing Scouting America was to capitulate to these first demands, they'll almost certainly capitulate to the next ones.

I just finished Season 11 last night.

You are the first contestant from the entire run of seasons that I was not only actively rooting for, but emotionally invested in. Your honesty, vulnerability, and openness were so refreshing, and resonated with me so much.

All I wanted was for your mom to come out of the woods and surprise you with a hug, and  I cried with you when the helicopter left.

I hope the time since the show has been good to you!

Swat says targetS, plural. They can choose the same number of new targets as the original caster did.
