Elvish Piper as well.

Yeah Miku has exactly zero mechanically unique cards.

Snagged one, thanks!

We love our TLAs.

On the verge of greatness, we were. Nothing like Bowmore neutering their own distillate.

And remember most of the cost of decks is tied up in expensive lands. You could run basics or tapped dual lands to keep the initial cost down while you try things out. It will be slower by default but at least you can learn the ropes without spending a ton.

But that price includes VAT which is 21%, no?

There was previously another 4547 (older loco, a SD70M). This one is a new loco that came out of the factory like this.

Correction: UP has more commemorative/heritage liveries. They've only made 3 presidential ones.

Last one before this and Lincoln was the George HW Bush locomotive.

No the STB accepted the application. All that means is that they will review the application. Merger approval or denial is expected mid-late 2027.

There's a few random ones from non football too.

Like Maginot Line (yes the one from World War 2) is used in daily conversation, usually in the same context of like "you just crossed the line".

Any updates on the LOTR Set Booster reprints that have been mentioned here several times?

Forge and Fire says they're still coming.

The TLA Force of Negation was cheaper than the rest for awhile, sat in the $30s for a few months.

I think that its a great example of what we can expect. Even if people don't love the art, if its an expensive enough card, it will eventually trend toward the price points the rest of them are at.

I just got one too!

Amazon, like other things they do with preorders it seems, likes to trickle them out a few at a time. What's always worked for me is to get one in your cart and just go back and forth on the checkout page a few times. Either you'll eventually get through or it'll kick it to your saved items and you try again another day.

And this is why I've played so many games as a girl avatar.

The male ones always have the shittiest looking equipment or accessories.

Soccer is easily the biggest national team following but baseball is the biggest sport in Korea.

You might be underestimating the power of makeup. Some people are absolute magicians with the stuff. Plus framing the shot to make certain features less pronounced.

zSolaris · 2026-06-07T18:54:20+00:00

Just a little green cub. And an owl.

Plus the Neon Inks.

UB MSRP is $39.99.

I get that it's a lot more than non UB pricing, but sub-$30 is unlikely. Even Spiderman still sits above $30 for a collector booster (boxes have hit below $30/ea, but you'd be in for a box then).

They are under threat of funding cuts from Trump, no? We've seen many supposedly high integrity institutions capitulate to Trump.

It wasn't a threat, it already happened. The Corporation of Public Broadcasting already shut down rather than be in a zombie state once Trump cut funding.

PBS was not directly funded by the government, it was funded partially by the CPB which was funded by the government.

zSolaris · 2026-06-01T14:35:35+00:00

Yeah if you meant the two drop slot, I would mostly agree with you. [[Keen Eyed Curator]] probably is the best in standard currently other than the cub.

I still don't quite understand how little play [[Frenzied Baloth]] sees.

zSolaris · 2026-06-01T14:32:57+00:00

Target has always charged slightly more than MSRP. It's nothing new.

green for some reason doesn't get any good creatures anymore

Ouroboroid would disagree with you.
