The way you phrased that, re: channel desires, calls for a follow up: I understand content mulligan as "keep a good hand, can't keep sol ring unless it's your first." Does production look at all starting hands and provide mulligan advice? e.g., "yeah, you're going to need a better hand than that..."

Well that's obnoxious. Who's to tell me that my party can't include a pet rock. My pet rock is very serious about religion and divine magics.

Reminder text doesn't say anything about it being a creature?

Firdoch Core is a really awesome party card. I built a Burakos/Guild Artisan deck solely on the back of this mana rock. Having a party member that doesn't get caught up in traditional creature sweepers seriously reduces one of the major downsides of Rakdos party w/o white to board protect.

Wouldn't it be more effective to create taxes for the lifestyle of living off loans on increasing unrealized capital gains?

There are no meaningful guardrails that they can't just ignore. Abolish ICE.

Fair. I've run Toph twice now. It won once on the back of Survey Mechan life gain. Survey Mechan is an awesome card. I also have Behemoth Sledge, but it didn't come up.
The game I lost, somebody stole Avatar Kyoshi and took extra combats. Multiple earthbend 8's to the face wasn't healthy.

There's a certain primal enjoyment I get sitting cozy on my couch and watching the players slip and slide over snow, or in the rain and mud. Add to that all the lunatics in the stadium experiencing those conditions makes me all the more cozy.

I definitely didn't clock that Sigzil's Spren had changed when reading through the Sunlit man the first time.

Such a huge loss for the Niners and a weird move for Saleh. Given his previous assertions of looking for the right situation, I assumed he wasn't going to go for a garbage fire team like the Titans.

I like that the additional cost is completely optional with no effect either way.

Really didn't like Peace Talks/Battle Ground at all. The writing style seemed to decay into "and this happened, and then that happened." Kinda felt like a chore for Butcher where the prior installments seemed like they would have been fun to write.
I hope this new one is fun.

Perhaps they think they can ship enough of their cultists there to overwhelm the voting power of the current 60k population?

Your channel has been putting out a lot of fun games for the last several sets.

You did sing the praises, but I think you're still under crediting Saleh. Saying that Shanahan (specifically) opened a new competitive window misses how many W's came from key defensive stops and allowed points under 20 using off-the-couch players and a toddler's pass rush.

They do a great job capturing interest in "funny little guys". The community has embraced both Fleem and Fblthp before. Squen and Cragg are in the same space, but in the past, it's never been intentional. They finally figured out how to create funny little guys that can be intentionally leveraged.

Fblthp is a pretty good mascot.

This type change reminds me of how certain types are different things across different planes. Goblins, for instance, are very different on Mercadia. I don't have a point here, just musing
