Democrat voters are not Democrat politicians. Similarly, Republican voters are not the same as the politicians. When discourse is referring to the parties, they are nearly always talking about those who are a part of the party's machine, not the voters or those registered with the party.

I love an em dash. Don't let the machine steal your literary pizzazz.

Mechanically the game is more rich than it ever has been, full-stop. If you aren't taking the punches and not savoring parts of the game you are playing, you should re-evaluate if it is bringing you joy to play.

My play group is on the upper end of bracket 3 so if I'm not controlling the board, I have to be speeding towards a win since turn 6 combo wins is late game if no one is on an interaction heavy deck.

There are ways to build her that are a little easier. If I were to take out free spells, the deck gets worse since I can't just run out my commander on curve without consequences. I like a strong commander to be able to support cards I like: archidekt.com/decks/189580...

As a side note, Rakdos Valgavoth is very similar. I can throw in Copper Table and Blessing of Leaches and still have games where I'm a menace to society. Much less reactive with Valgavoth and very much gradually becoming the problem.

I love a reactive game plan. She lets me do that and advance the game state meaningfully. I've been purposely adding in worse and worse cards and she still wins games. You can build the deck around her as strong or as weak as you want and still participate in the game narrative meaningfully.

Hell yeah dude. That shit rules hard

I've always said we need concurrency in our games. Why not vintage but we play our turns at the same time? You respect turn order for stack purposes.

I think that's why I've missed it for the most part as well. Just cover-to-cover album listening insulates you a bit. My wife, however, has told me about finding playlists with random AI covers sprinkled in

Moved over to Tidal, but getting closer to just doing self-hosted since AI is starting to creep in there as well. Not on anything I listen to, but others have mentioned it being an issue.

They made the negroni incorrectly so old fashioned it is!
