It’s always dumbfounding to see people in #OnePiece discourse defend Garp because he can’t “personally fix everything” when his SON FOUNDED THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY

I can't shoutout my fav @brickyo8.bsky.social in the video I'm editing without making a custom #magicthegathering card for him!

HEY BRICKY COME MAKE MTG CONTENT WITH ME

P.S. If Bricky were a Fallout npc he would quest you to pick up food, but when you get to the Factory it's 99 caramel apples

Good news, apparently a fully-draftable set is only 198 cards now

Why is Spell Pierce so IMPORTANT?

The only reason I don't Spell Pierce my friends' Sol Rings is because Saskia doesn't have blue
(I do run the Mana Tithe though)

My first online Pokemon battling team actually raised in game and it's a team of eeveeloutions for my 6yo. He has declared legendary spamming to be cheating and developed a top-tier evil cackle whenever we knock one out.

Same thought - it’s Battlebond but as a premier set (since MaRo specifically called paired cards in packs something “impossible to scale to all our printers”)

I WANTED to thank you but this setting leaves a purple CASTER MODE IS ON at the bottom of every page and now I’m mad about that

the problem with mechsploitation is that if you turn a girl into a dog that's also an ace pilot you've just succeeded in creating Snoopy

I definitely wrote this but when I came back for an editing pass it had turned into a depressing exploration of how returning home can unearth past traumas and be ultimately more destructive than abandoning all your support networks and starting over

The mtg subreddit is melting down over "pigs eat slop" getting posted again and it's just as funny as the first time
More importantly I'm going to start using [Post Was Originally About EDH] as a response tag

No goth Mel debut to clean up the last 6 hours of the Fansly leaderboard is devastating

Sometimes as a bit I will transpose #YuGiOh cards into #magicthegathering rules and yes this IS as bonkers broken as it looks

Why is Not Dead After All so POTENT?

The comments have informed me that not nearly enough people are aware of the parlance “rectangle”

People are really upset at the term “Stock Up as a tempo play” but I WILL NOT BE DENIED

As a rule I try not to say anything negative about a set in its first week, but #MtgSpiderman being run alongside Quick Draft #MtgBloomburrow and Premier Draft #MtgEternities is a legendary self-counter-programming moment

Also putting a rapist, a person with a simple rape fantasy and a victim telling their story all in the same category seems extremely rude to be

It's not the content anyway. Pulling the trigger on this will just be about whether it's a queer artist or not.
