zodiac dog (dog)

zodiac dog (hound)

dog is the other big creature type where they errata'd them back to the original printing.

sloth

dolls

they do occasional creature type errata when they introduce new types but it is very inconsistent. when they added the sloth type they errata'd 3 older cards. but when they added the toy creature type they errata'd 0 cards, even tho stuffy doll and creepy doll are dolls just like twitching doll.

i'm critical of wotc's anti-errata stance for many reasons, but it feels extra silly when the stated purpose is to prevent printed cards from having different types than oracle text...but they also don't errata old cards back to their original types which the card has only ever been printed with?? 🙃

damn, they used to do so many professional photo shoots with average americans.

if you haven't watched the resleevables about prophecy i highly recommend it. i had a very negative association with the set having opened a lot as a kid but i think patrick really touches on some ways in which it succeeds that i hadn't really thought about.

ancient tomb old art in the eoe frame

for the sake of completionism.

no because the landfall needs to happen in your main phase.

moraug, fury of akon

if i had to guess what percentage of people buying the jund eoe precon were able to correctly parse the way that moraug is supposed to work on first glance, i’m definitely going below 50%. maybe below 15%. i’m sure most people just play it incorrectly and nobody even notices.

this thing sees considerable vintage play.

smallpox deck running eumidian hatchery to make bugs

i have no idea if this is going to end up being 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 good or just 𝘧𝘶𝘯 good but it certainly looks fun and and getting 5 free bugs from a painland seems good to me.

old celestial kirin deck list

the original and remade versions were probably slightly different. i've had it rebuilt for ~6 years and i continually make adjustments. here is the deck from 3 years ago. it's maybe 85% the same? the basic concept has always been "generate advantage with asymmetrical destruction".

i don't know anything about this but it screams "we couldn't properly code the card so we just did something else".

usually after i blow up all of my opponents lands they will scoop. but yeah, it's not for everybody.

i also had a black kirin deck at one point! it was relatively fun, it's basically like playing go-fish, but occasionally if it worked well it just meant my opponent's didn't have any cards in hand and that made games a bit brutal.

spooky nukes - Commander (Celestial Kirin) A deck created using Moxfield.

i still have my original deck. i took it apart after a few years but then remade it later. i don't play it that often, but i definitely still enjoy it. the mld makes it not a good fit for every table.

cephalid coliseum

bazaar of baghdad exists! this is closer to cephalid coliseum tho. the free activation is cool but i think the threshold hurdle on cc is worth the additional 2 dredge triggers and tapping for blue is important. i'm not a dredge expert tho.

it's sad that anybody feels the need to slop polish their writing, as if the ideas and voice they have isn't enough. as if putting out something flawed and human isn't infinitely better than publishing a soulless milquetoast techno-screed.

best swords. 👍❄️

it sounds like a mario rpg boss.

big wraith? that seems like an odd choice but i can picture it in my mind.

it's completely inconsequential but her name is definitely not cush gumbo.

i think the carnage card was sent to somebody by wotc. i consider that an official release, even if it was unintentional. unless they make a statement it's impossible to know if it was an accident or a marketing move.

cut a deal

this card has won me so many edh games and i don't even own a copy.

it does make you sound very famous. good luck dodging the paparazzi on your way to work tomorrow.

mistmatched letterpress blocks

eh, i'd probably just call this an eclectic letterpress typeface? the variable letters are largely a function of having an assortment of mismatched blocks. i'd be curious to see somebody look into the history of the style though. i assume it's old. i did stuff like this in school.

google search results for “singular sclerosis” a disease which obviously doesn’t exist. you would be stupid to think that it might.

when i say “delete my browser history when i die” its because of dumb shit like this:

shaggy is not meant to be an athletic character but i really can't emphasize enough how hard it is to run like this. the low stance with your back angled forward, pumping your arms horizontally as you move? it's exhausting. like doing squats, planks, and lunges at the same time.

people are sleeping on long range sensor.

mh4 will have a pedantic paleontologist legend that makes birds count as dinosaurs.

i've been wrong in all of my previous predictions about everything, but surely this one will come true.
