Ah, that’s a good comparison! I don’t agree with the original comment - I think outlaws has a fun flavor, and I doubt they’re going to be using that keyword outside of these sets. I might have an issue if they did.
To your point, historic never resonated with my, though I see what they were trying to do with it.
I’m guessing they meant the reference to “outlaws.”
Looks like a really fun spells-matter card with strong effects. But I’d be surprised if this made it into Standard at 5 MV.
Oof that’s a tough one… mull to 5 is rough, they probably figured they’d have a better chance to draw those lands, especially if the curve was good.
Esper taking a huge chunk of the field, but honestly still pretty diverse metagame. It might have something to do with the bigger card pool. I’m excited to see what comes out on top!
I agree with your main points, but I don’t think that just because something has been the status quo it doesn’t deserve scrutiny. There are those out there who feel that this is an issue. For them, the best time to explore it is now. At this point it’s futile, but I think it’s important that we re-evaluate our laws and policies when there’s a group asking for it. We just need to make sure the people making the decisions at the end of the day are competent…
Ah you’re right! I agree then, this might have a place as a 1-drop in a Bargain synergy deck.
Thanks for this, my brain was trying to justify that “choose” also counts as “target”.
That’s a rough sell… There’d have to be an amazing payoff at 2MV to justify the card disadvantage.
Wow that’s impressive! I can’t imagine the time and dedication it took to create this.
Honestly, that’s great that you enjoy them! I think the negativity is the sets aren’t self-contained. Once they’re released, they’re a part of magic and the eternal formats forever. Especially for those who have played for decades, that identity shift of the game is jarring.
My take is the two UB and MH3 in the lineup are very polarizing, leading to negative perceptions overall.
While I don’t feel as negatively about these sets as the other poster, the attempt to be “flashy” strikes me the wrong way. Even though it’s been years now, I feel the same was true for the sets you listed in your response.
I understand that they’re trying to market to a broad audience and generate hype for cool new worlds / themes / crossovers, but I’d prefer if the sets were slower and we spent more time on each plane.
I realize this topic has been beaten to death and I have a bit of old man bias with this, but I’m not thrilled that trend is continuing.
I’m sure the next few days before the surgery are going to be tough emotionally for both of you. It sounds like your SO likely doesn’t realize how worried they are or how much it’s affecting them, but giving them a little space is a good move.
Try not to beat yourself up for getting upset - it’s a perfectly normal reaction, especially in a stressful situation like this. Luckily there’re a few days before the procedure so you can hopefully discuss it and be supportive of each other. This internet stranger is sending love!
It is! But it’s a bit sad we have to think about it.
Wow wasn’t expecting to see an Addie LaRue reference today! Who’s to say that the thought of “Ralph” doesn’t trigger thoughts or feelings in an individual that affects them later on today, later on this week, etc. I agree it’s a beautiful sentiment.
P.S. That’s probably my favorite book I’ve read in the last few years.
Yep took me a second too, but honestly it’s great advice.
“Piracy preserves what capitalism can’t be bothered to.”
Love that sentence, and I agree with your points that these pieces of media are available not truly “lost.” I don’t hold anything against studios/publishers not wanting to invest time to make niche ports/emulations available, especially when it won’t make them money.
Interesting! So if I’m understanding correctly, the scare about YouTube stopping adblocked users was being caused by the Enhancer for Youtube extension? If so, that’s a relief.
I absolutely adore this game, but imo it’s a terrible candidate for a remaster. The graphics were already stylized so I doubt a graphics update would make much difference. It’s a puzzle game so the replayability is already low. And I can’t imagine that developer commentary get people excited about buying the game again.
I wish this was successful, but I can see why this went sideways.
