I met a player at my LGS who I only ever saw playing Bant decks.
They had a variety of decks and played several different formats, but only ever with Bant colors.
When I asked them why they never played black or red, they sighed wistfully and said "Well, I'd love to, but I'm Rakdos intolerant."

For so long Iβve said that Thomas Chatterton Williams is a stupid man who canβt write or think, but there are too many people, including people I know, who are invested in his positioning that the race problem in America exists because Black people are too invested in it to move on

βJust calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.β Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.
