Crucible Of Words

She was just building a little box thing, I was the one who thought it looked like a cell and told her to put the guy inside before any of you think I'm raising some kind of prison complex loving narc.

My daughter made a little black solitary confinement cell out of Lego and we put in a figure from an old Lego competitor product as the captive.

Yeah, there are a handful of democrats who seem decent, but they are all very much what I'd call left and not liberal

Very nice.

I've got a whole army of wet elves in my pile of shame for some point in the future. Easily my favourite thing in AoS.

The Centrists are spewing the exact same talking points as the far right.

Didn't Newsom even go on a far right podcast and talk about trans athletes being a danger to women? Like how are these liberals anyone's idea of a good guy?

Liberals are pretty aggressively transphobic and have a lot more of the reins of power in their hands than anyone on the left does.

Haven't you been defending Pete Buttgieg and Gavin Newsom in this thread?

Like, who are these mythical left wingers in power being transphobic?

Ah, so you're just doing flat out lying to run cover for your political preferences at the expense of vulnerable people.

Not cool

Some of you Magic Content creators out there have really good channel and account names.

My own channel name is pretty meh tbh

You seem like a truly ghoulish and terrible person

Who is coming to EternalMania this weekend?

He's worse than the alternatives on a whole bunch of issues.

He's doing worse austerity than the Tories, worse on trans rights than the Tories, even Reform is to the left of him on water renationalization and removing the child benefit cap.

The politicians in charge are racists who have spent their entire careers promoting racism

The author of this piece is stealing a living

Today would be a good day for all transphobes to walk into the sea and never come back

Feels like a full on battle for the soul of the party tbh.

Remember when Labour MPs singles out targets for racist rioters and then those rioters attacked the hotels they had been directed to, yet Centrists just ignored it entirely

You are definitely one of the people who lives in a fictional world.

Did myself a little bit of cooking. Deck feels great but needs an actual Storm player to finetune it.

And the five week data since the BnR shows a very stark picture.

UB Reanimator at 35% of all top 8s, which means is has 70 top 8 finishes whilst the second most of any deck is 14.

At this point we can call last BnR update a big mistake.

#MTGLegacy data update.

This is the data for Week 5 since the BnR update.

As you can see, UB Reanimator still very much on top and over-performing. It should be noted that this data set includes a Showcase as well where UB Reanimator did very well (9 players and four of them made top 8)

UB Reanimator's percentage of top 8 placings each week since the BnR:

Week one: 42.5%
Week two: 35%
Week three: 35%
Week four: 27.5%
Week five: 35%

It's metagame presence is roughly 20% of overall meta across all five weeks.

#MTGLegacy

This feels especially evil.

Creating a serfdom class who are bred entirely to pay for the greed of the wealthy.

We really need to destroy capitalism and [REDACTED] the ultra wealthy

I think you are making the mistake of conflating liberals with the left.

I've not seen any left wing people supporting the bill, only liberals/Centrists

Our government actively supports the far right mobs trying to murder immigrants.

There were even MPs specifically mentioning locations for the lynch mob to target when they burned up hotels and stuff.

So 9 UB reanimator players in the #MTGLegacy showcase challenge and 4 of them made top 8.

A consistent theme since the BnR is that UB reanimator is the most represented deck, yet is still putting up 50% or more top 8s than it should.

*Things Nazis say*

Especially when on some aspects we are even worse than the US over here. Grim stuff and denial methinks

With just one Challenge to go for the week, UB Reanimator is once again over 30% of Top 8 placings for the week in #MTGLegacy.

What will the final % of top 8 be for the deck this week? Post your guesses below!
