Women (and children) are somehow outside the law and cannot be criminals. This has excellent implications for my transition. Will experiment soon

I just had a game start with a turn one Sol Ring end with everyone scooping on turn six because a Sire of Stagnation had been on the board for two turns. I had used removal on their commander the turn earlier for nothing

Please consider it for the game changers list. It makes such unfun games

But if they had been published that way, I believe the design might have been translated to commander as intended when it was released and we would not be having this conversation as a community, or at the very least not as many people would be mindlessly raging at the suggestion

The original rules of hybrid mana included that the spell was the colors used to cast it. Boros hybrid mana cast with RR would be a mono-red spell on the stack and a mono-red permanent on the battlefield. They scrapped it because it was a “perpetual” effect to keep track of and bogged down games

All colorless lands have an opportunity cost, the opportunity to have access to the right colors. I only run one or two of those in any given commander deck, and they are usually Demolition Field and Scavenger Grounds

Plenty of decks ran Environmental Sciences and the cheapest learn cards in their colors (notably Eyetwitch and Hunt for Specimens as chump blockers) to reliably hit land drops and gain life against aggro

Close, but the Oxford comma is used in *lists of threes* (or more) to clarify that the last two items are individual items in a list

W40K released 3+ years ago and lack of reprints has led to the entire set having absurdly high prices

Ghyrson $35 Flamer $25 and on

WOTC has said multiple times they can reprint any UB card, so please show that you can! Reprint a tyranid! It's depressing how inaccessible these cards are getting

All of my friends would be memories without social media. My main friend group is now a Discord server I joined in high school because all of my friends I knew in person went their own ways for college and we drifted apart. I met my partner in that server, with whom I now live

Okay so Harmon Northrop Morse, who first synthesized Paracetamol (which is also marketed now as Tylenol, etc), was described as “quiet and uneffusive” and had a “single-minded devotion” to his work.

No proof, but this may mean there is a NONZERO chance that it is actually AUTISM that caused TYLENOL

What about those little “We consent!” bubbles with small versions of the featured characters that some artists put on their work? Those have to be objective

The point is islandcycling for {1} (very good early game) and a draw spell is never a dead card late game

Proxy these! You can even recreate them on MTG.design to rid them of digital formatting strangeness. Here are some old cards I recreated with updated oracle text as an example of how they will turn out:

There are so many external ways to gain superpowers. It would not hurt to try a few things, but there is always the possibility that the other you was bitten by a radioactive flea or was enhanced in a laboratory that does not exist in this world :/

It can get to the point where the ball is so small, it might be months or years between presses. But it is still the same button, the same pain. It never truly goes away. It is normal to grieve loss, no matter how long it has been. You have the support of this stranger.

I have heard grief described as a box with a ball in it, and a button that is pain. Immediately after loss, the ball takes up the whole box, and the button is pressed constantly. As time passes, the ball shrinks and can roll around the box, and the button is pressed less often.

If you are good at your job, you get promoted. This continues until you are no longer good at your job. Good ground-level workers get promoted to be managers. The good managers get further promoted, and the bad ones stay managers (:
