We got a Night Court reboot last year, too. Doesn’t make it relevant.

Neither of the points I was making has anything to do with the playability of individual cards. Mechanically it’s fine, much better than Spider-man, though it’s got nothing on Baldur’s Gate which I’ll note we championed from day one.

Finally WotC has answered the question “what if we used an IP nobody has cared about in twenty years and made a bunch of the arts physically repulsive?”

Throwing them out of the plane in-flight would have been my choice but I’ll settle for this.

Be less mediocre on your own and stop hoping they'll unrestrict cards that will do it for you.

Prob better in the zone than in the 99 because to consistently punch through you probably need to build a deck around making that happen. And if you're gonna put her in the zone, there's better options that do what she does.

Expensive property. The whole business model of AI is based on the premise that humans are too expensive and should be replaced.

And they’re not that subtle when it comes to what they think should happen to the superfluous humans.

Nobody: Dana, what are your thoughts on the art for Big Apple, 3 AM?

Me: It should have leaned way harder into homage to the Wednesday Morning, 3 AM album cover.

Add cards you want to your @cardsphere.com account, and people will send you those cards. Simple.

I need a gif of the "I have an idea" scene from the last episode of Halt and Catch Fire for whenever I start brewing a new deck.

Without speaking we all kind of understood to avoid attacking him most the game until it was time to end things just because it was such a mismatch.

I think it was one of those things like when your grandpa starts losing his hearing so he just nods along with the conversation and pretends he heard what you said.

Yeah, but he didn't mention that during the pre-game conversation and didn't give any signs until cardboard started hitting the table.

Sometimes you think you've all had a good pregame conversation and are on the same page, then someone tries to play a Wild Growth as a land and asks if their Cinder Glade makes both a fire and a wood.

My unban hot take about unbanning things like Emrakul, Griselbrand, Iona, Primetime, etc? Get good and stop demanding you get access to more cards to topdeck that will do all the work for you.

Went to make some cuts to a deck sitting at 103 cards and it's now at 110 which makes me feel like I'm making cuts incorrectly.

It's tricky because I get why design wants to make strong commanders with a very clear build path and a reward system baked in for newer players. The problem is those cmdrs aren't just (or even mostly) being played by new players.

11.02.2026 04:44 — 👍 5    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

IMO it's almost exclusively due to the commander too. It's kinda hard to screw up a deck that tells you exactly how to build it, rewards you for doing so, then lets you draw a card when you get that reward like a little cherry on top of a sundae.

Players aren't by and large making their Ashling the Limitless deck worse because it tells you right on the cards what you should be adding to the list.

I think that's probably true of a homebrew style deck. I don't think that's true of most recent precon-style commanders that say in clear text right on the card exactly how to build them.
