Hard disagree on the colors, tbh. I understand wanting to do the very simple Fire = R etc conceit, but they way they did it leaves Black shivering in the cold as a vague Black = Bad Guy. Black simply has very little identity in the set. There are 22 black legends in the block and 40 white ones.

Do I have to pick one?

Delightful. Appreciate how useful having New Capenna ball knowledge was

Plains. The two cards have effects that apply in the same layer, ordinarily that would mean time stamps. However, Yavimaya is considered a dependent effect on Dawn’s independent effect, so the game checks Dawn first and resolves it, meaning that Yavimaya loses it’s ability.

Another noble heart lost to the slop

Where’d you get a banjo?

Artists cost money.

Design intent makes zero sense to me. Haven’t we been universally griping that cards with the design intent to be commander playable make the format less good? Isn’t the whole point of commander playing in a way not intended to have casual fun?

It sounds great for Legion Angel or Lesson//Learn, but when you start to think about Karn The Great Creator, the idea induces vomiting

You don’t understand, Tomer, I deserve to make every opponent miserable with Yorion blink loops every game. (Please dont wotc)

Boooo to deflecting swat. Hate being punished for being the responsible one and running removal at no deckbuilding cost. The rest are good changes. Is expropriat not allowed in a 2 game because it can lead to you chaining?

my parents once took me to chilis and i had to explain to them why the hostess greeted me by name and knew my order already

Im not invested enough to research the numbers behind that, especially factoring in the qualitative good that comes from his (limited) activism and efforts to uplift queer people within the context of the church and fiction. At the end of the day, proxy everything.

I don’t believe it’s performative, he comes across as genuinely quite supportive and also genuinely quite clueless

Oh, you’ve assumed I‘m giving money to Wizards and to Sanderson. I’m not. I know there’s no ethical consumption but I try to do my best, and to advise others to do the same. I’m mainly saying “at least he isn’t Joanne with her legions of mediocre defenders”

That being said the fact that the man has written literally dozens of books with themes of questioning how religion turns our eyes from the truth and how organized religion uses faith as a cudgel to oppress and still is blindly devoted to mormonism baffles me

The difference between sanderson and the Horrible Lady is that he actively advocates for LGBT+ people from within the church instead of spending all of his free time trying to take people’s rights away

If you’re saying people who make custom magic cards gatekeep proxies, I’m sorry you’ve experienced that. Idk what it has to do with WotC though
