A lot of very good albums came out when I was 16, but.... in my heart I think the most perfect might have been the Soubdtrack to the Live Action Spawn movie.

At this point, anybody who hasn't apologized to us for refusing to fall in line with "the lesser evil party" is also scum. Every day you see proof that we were right and that this is a controlled opposition party. You were wrong and a person with a moral compass would be willing to admit that

I wonder how the art direction for the Fallen Empires style 4 card arts worked.

Did everyone get the same brief?

(If so, Where did the wolves come from?)

Never really lost hope that people generally care about us transgender hotties, i mean the tide turned pretty big in the 2010s when the truth about what being trans even meant was no longer hidden away from the public. Its toothpaste they cant put back in the tube.

I feel like people are talking past each other on this due to terminology.

The people arguing for designer intent arent saying that all designer intent is infallible: theyre saying thst this *specific* designer intent is good for the game, and its a tool we want to support, not diminish.
My entire point is that *intent* is being used as an argument in favor, which I think is nonsense and I'm using counterexamples of intent.

Commander Baumi has a nice video on the early history of commander that deserved more views really.

Technically, basic lands dont have rules text, they have reminder text.

like how extort works.

This was easily solved by just saying "yeah you cant put those "off colour" basics in your deck", despite the rules of magic saying they should be allowed in every deck, regardless of colour ID.
the _justifications_ are the problem. in a linear sense, yes, you can toggle certain switches on and off, but if a major justification for hybrid is 'developer intent' then you are ceding the floor to phyrexian mana

I would personally argue that the core of commanders identity is playing a commander you resonate with, and theming a deck around that identity, and im not 100% convinced the best way to do that is to push people to play Elas Il Kor rather than Ayara just because they love Afterlife Insurance.

What to do when I felt lonely
That was the only thing you couldnt teach me
But we need to figure out the answer for ourselves
I’m so happy I met everyone
I wish we could’ve gone on more adventures

I guess we all say goodbye someday

Everyone

Thank you

Farewell

Worth noting, the idea that the "defining" feature of the Commander format is the current colour identity rule is not a known truth. Its not even the original rule.

The defining feature of commander is, roughly, a 100 card singleton format themed around a commander card that is always available.
Shared my thoughts on some of the current conversations in Magic Commander, most notably the proposed change to the Hybrid Mana rules

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!

Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

I mean, realistically this is the future of magic, right?

Either commander changes to play nicer with the rules of the other formats, or every other format becomes shaped around cards designed for commander.
then the designers better get on the train and start designing for the format, right?
