I planned on making ATLA my last hurrah with the game for a bit. And I am, at least if judging by release schedule.

But then Dragonstorm Quick Draft came back to Arena, and I remembered how much fun I had with the format. So I’m building a quick set cube.

THEN I’m on break. Promise.

…okay, just listened. This song is transcendent. That voice!

I carve out a huge exception for secular Christmas songs that clearly and, with neither sentiment nor embellishment, describe how the holiday kinda sucks and is stressful, like The Wombats’ “Is This Christmas?”

I kinda hate all those strategies… and yet Selesnya is STILL somehow my favorite color combination…

I think it’s the vibes. They’re immaculate. Every set has at least one Selesnya commander who seems like just a chill hang.

Could I interest you in Selesnya Rattlesnakes?

These films were my first exposure to Cary Elwes doing anything other than The Princess Bride. And he’s great!

…this is amazing.

Dalton looks like every stagehand in every community theater production I’ve ever been in.

Nice!

Very nice. Well, “nice” probably isn’t the right word.

Thank you for making it.

So my initial thought is yes, especially if it’s a casserole, where the missing bite is gonna be obvious.

But then, I wonder how I would react if I actually saw someone do that. And if it was close friends or family, I probably wouldn’t care.

Oh, that’s a GOOD writing quote!

No I didn’t.

Good puppy.

New Batman villain?

There’s an amusement park in my neighborhood that uses this soundtrack for one of their kiddie rides.

Dubious legally? But still a banger of a track.

My neighborhood is almost certainly guilty of this, but I’ve seen it go both ways. There are some non-Mormon families who are hesitant to let their kids play with the Mormons out of fear of proselytizing.

Whether it’s a Mormon or non-Mormon problem at its root, it’s clearly a Utah problem.

How is he SO GOOD at the heartstrings?!?!
