We're lost without Christopher Rush's iconic "album cover for your friend's band who can't afford to pay you and only have 3 songs and 2 of them are covers" style.

I know this set has been out for a while. Just took my first close look at this masterpiece.

This moment must be protected 👆🏻

While it’s clearly prime reprint fodder, part of me hopes it stays a strange remnant from a strange set that keeps the “P3K cards cost HOW MUCH?” experience alive for future generations.

I wish I’d thought of a lie this good to eat snacks.

“MOM if you want me to bathe I need CHIPS”

God damn I forgot Everything Goes Numb came out that year too. Flawless. Also still in heavy rotation today.

2006 had at least one other generation-defining banger

And if you’re unhappy with how WOTC is managing bans, how do you envision point assignment for every card in the format to go?

No I think it’s important for official, sanctioned formats to be as simple and clear as possible. You can’t do better than “there are cards you can play and cards you can’t” on the simplicity scale.

Point-managed community formats are sweet, but community management is where that belongs.

Masterpiece

Hold up. 👀

Book 1: Waterbending

Release the Aang post-iceberg piss footage.

“What kind of game do we want to have?”
One where you’re trying to beat me and I’m trying to beat you.
“How many game changers do you have?”
4 of every one I can fit.
“How many turns do you expect to play?”
As few as possible ideally.

You don’t have to do any of that. It’s great.
