Particularly (as Peggy Blair points out here) given that King appears slightly self-serving in how he disparages the Cherokee rolls in his book:

See, this fails as an ATLA card because it doesn’t say ‘if that creature would die this turn, exile it instead’

The mythology extends to the game terminology of ‘tapping’ lands—it means to draw out their power like wine from a cask.

The lore that’s baked into the game mechanics is one of the main reasons that I experience even the best UB as fundamentally incoherent.

Wouldn’t the Familiar die after two activations, though?

This classic, on the other hand…

Again, I didn’t do that; I said that the kind of monstrous person that would excuse or deny the genocide in Gaza (you) would also likely be an enthusiastic Nazi if they had been born an ethnic German.

Again, I’m happy to choose the company of Arendt over a fascist’s interpretation of ‘antisemitism’
September 11, 2025 at 11:42 PM
Neither did I. I said that you in particular would have been a Nazi if you had been an ethnic German during the Reich.

Arendt likewise made direct comparisons between particular Israelis and Nazis, as I accurately said:
