True. I just wish the sets were exactly the same power level but went straight to Modern so Standard folks would not have to deal with it and Modern folks would only engage with it if they want to. Then it can be a fun draft experience that brings in new players without upsetting existing fans

Bracket 2 has more setup turns because players are expected to build suboptimal decks (play fun cards and jank), not build suboptimal decks (have bad manabases). Proxying is cheaper and easier than you think

If you're in the US, now is a great time to talk to the young people in your life about the US military:
The recruiter is not your friend. The military employs child psychologists to learn how to make you think the recruiter is your friend.
The recruiter is allowed to lie to you and makes more money if they do.
The recruiter is paid a commission to groom children into cannon fodder.
The recruiter will tell you you're special and will go into special smart soldier programs instead of combat. They're lying.
The recruiter may tell you they can tell if someone can get PTSD or not and only recruit people like you, who won't. They're lying.
The recruiter may tell you you'll be too busy attending free college (!!) to go overseas. They're lying.
The recruiter may ask what countries you want to travel to and promise you bougie placements on military bases in those countries. They're lying.
Even "It's just four years!" is a lie - the government is allowed to hold you past your enlistment period with a stop-loss order.
The recruiter actually has zero power to decide anything that happens to you after you enlist and they more importantly don't care what happens to you.
If you enlist, you will be brainwashed to make you willing to do things to other humans that you would never be willing to do today.
You will be ordered to do things that will kill children. And you'll do them.
The military is not the only way or even the best way for you to go to college or start a career.
Military brainwashing will actually make you into a terrible university student because it degrades your ability to think critically and question your sources.
Having PTSD and/or a TBI will make it harder to be a student and keep a job.
Veterans' benefits suck these days.
Being a veteran drastically increases your risk of homelessness, suicide, alcohol and drug dependence, prison time, and becoming an abuser to your loved ones.
The military will expose you to chemicals that will drastically increase your chances of developing cancer.
The military will withhold information about your rights to conscientiously object after enlisting.
A lot can change in four years.
If you need a reason not to enlist, there's many.

This segment is a whole lot of text for an argument to avoid learning about ligma, and I did not even read it because the very first post boldly assumes gender is a binary :skull: (:skull: indicates humor from embarrassment, in this case secondhand)

Mysidian Elder {2}{R}
Creature — Human Wizard
When this creature enters, create a 0/1 black Wizard creature token with “Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this token deals 1 damage to each opponent.”
“Perhaps this is a test and you must prove yourself worthy.”
1/3
This in Inalla plus a Roaming Throne generates eight damage per noncreature spell

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

Perplex {1}{U}{B}
Instant
Counter target spell unless its controller discards their hand.
Transmute {1}{U}{B} ({1}{U}{B}, Discard this card: Search your library for a card with the same mana value as this card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle. Transmute only as a sorcery.)
If I had a blue and red deck that was not a third color, I would play it. But, as it stands, the only counterspell my Grixis deck wants is a tutor

Would you tap three Mountains to cast a spell, choose the wheel mode, and then choose not to wheel, thereby accomplishing nothing. Is this something you would ever do

I love how TMNT has zero hype with being leaked and announced and leaked again super early so we are already building hype about Strixhaven. I am very happy to see the original main students back, even if they are just in the commander decks :>

“Each player may” is simpler and better wording for the first mode. Players would not choose it if they were not going to wheel, and with your wording, their teammates would not get the option to wheel in formats like 2HG and Emperor

A-Nadu, Winged Wisdom {1}{G}{U}
Legendary Creature — Bird Wizard
Flying
Whenever a creature you control becomes the target of a spell or ability, reveal the top card of your library. If it’s a land card, put it onto the battlefield. Otherwise, put it into your hand. This ability triggers only twice each turn.
3/4
They rebalanced him exactly like that on Arena and he is still a menace in Brawl. Four instances of card draw that could be ramp per turn cycle is still ridiculous value, and flickering to reset him enables the same kinds of nondeterministic combos
