Had the realization that in roughly one years time after the Star Trek set releases we’ll be able to expand the minigame of “Rock, Paper, Scissors” to choose Play/Draw to the full set of “Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock”

Vaccination should be compulsory, with only valid medical exceptions. Religious beliefs are not valid excuses

Contagious diseases do not care whether people chose to vaccinate or not

The right to not get infected with Measles supersedes not wanting to get a shot
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Hit 'Random Card' on Scryfall, then pick a Commander who'd want that card in their deck's 99. 😃

If the sub didn’t split, you must acquit!
Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

I think all the scalper bots trying to get the Secret Lair Countdown Kit forgot to set their clocks back an hour

Secret Lair site getting hugged to death right at 11am, which would have been 12pm last week? 🤡

Was reading up on the Emperor Variant of Magic this morning & came across this line

“Multiplayer formats in which players compete as individuals usually don't use this option.”

“Usually” which means they *could* 🤔

Now I want to try Team Trios Standard, Modern, Legacy but with the Deploy option

So looks like I’m not watching any new Paramount produced movies for the foreseeable future
David and Larry Ellisons’ sloptastic vision for Hollywood is coming into focus:

“Paramount has reportedly signed a $200M+ multiyear deal for Higgsfield AI to use mass-use Popcorn AI model that ingests dailies and script notes, then outputs regional cuts: new leads, alternate jokes, revised endings”

Commander is not meant to be like other formats. Its goals and intentions for gameplay are not meant to mirror traditional 60 card formats. We see that most apparently in:

•Singleton rule, where other formats allow multiples
•Maximum deck size, whereas minimums for other formats
•Color Identity
