Heyo @gavinverhey.bsky.social should we expect a pauper video in the near future? The B&R was pretty brief and no changes was what most everyone expected, so no video is super valid, but I’d always be interested to hear the PFPs thoughts.

Am I totally off base in guessing that occasional top 100 mythic, some GP cashes, and a solid Pauper record is underqualified for this from a competitive play perspective?

Oh yeah the “oh there’s a hot stove right there but they mentioned me, better go touch that hot stove” disorder. That one’s always fun.

Sounds cinnfully good.

It’s been a minute since I’ve heard someone reference the geek social fallacies. Good pull.

I think it’s also that the effort to reward ratio for being a life ruining fuck to a stranger has gone entirely out of wack. Used to be that only unibomber tier weirdos got to enjoy perceiving their victims. These days a parasocial death threat even has a read receipt.

Bloop turned me into the Charlie Day Pepe Sylvia meme, but in a good way. It’s the most innovative and original game of the year, and deserved more than it’ll get.

Do it dude the format slaps. The meta costs less than a standard deck.

My body is a machine that turns “you saying something that ends in -er” into “making the least sense making hardly knew er joke”

I just took my adderall to do the dishes and work on a magic related project.

Hell yeah.

Idk if it’s up your alley at all but I’m an experienced programmer and I’ve been a bit curious about how good or bad those are. If you end up doing one and want a person to talk to or ask advice from, I’d be down to help you debug just to see whether they’re good.

Also implies the existence of gay jungling.

“Switching to bot lane my top mmr is dog water” is either cursed or blessed gay slang not sure which.

Any chance there’s a list for JD?

If it helps you feel at all better their orbital decays are kinda beam sabering them little by little already.

Howms’t?

It implies a mayonnaise decanter.

The use of “uncorked” here is an affront.

@rhysticstudies.bsky.social I've got a friend who's on the Japanese localization team for Magic if you want their info if you ever end up doing a video on Magic translation.

Downshift it for pauper.

(Nothing against OP, go help them pick some cards for the 99)

I’m pretty darn Scryfall api literate. Whatcha needing?

Hot take but “5c commander featuring [new or featured subtype in set]” has felt like a pretty creatively bankrupt design the last three times they’ve done it and I’m not optimistic when I see it in a card file.

Imagine a storm turn.

Unironically I would watch “commander but any time a triggered ability triggers it gets 1.05x faster.”

Start it at like 80% speed. Instant comedy gold.

I could also see red white. Boros is probably the most typecast color pair, so making a version of it focused on the kinda paradoxical question of “how do we make systems that make people as free and equal as possible” would be a cool direction.

Honestly yeah. There are cons to the collector boosterification of magic, but the ceiling on how good art can be is only rising.

Anarchists charm

That’s the one with the detective who can see the history of food he eats, right?
