Power 9 is no more. It is power 11. Here is how i found it:

So.... It was put to my attention that Arena powered cube never has packs with 2 pieces of power 9 in them.

I was sceptical, but turns out it is true.

I looked at ~18000 drafts and results are striking.

Traffic is (starting) to pick up on the new episode, but reminder again our ability to make these is very much proportionate to how much people "want" them so all views and shares remain deeply appreciated 🙏

Panel 1: Shen is stoically holding up a sign with his right hand that says "W O R C E S T E R" on it. Panel 2: A man clearly from Boston, in a black Red Sox cap and Bruins jersey and holding a Market Basket bag slung over his shoulder, says "WOOSTER!" Under the cap, he has messy brown hair, and is smiling innocently. Panel 3: Shen, still stoic, now holds up a picture of a rooster with both hands. Panel 4: The man from Boston smile lights up, sparkles in his eyes, and says "ROOCHESTER!!!"

Good to see you, Seattle! What a beautiful day to practice our First Amendment rights.

#HandsOff
A large crowd of protesters holding signs and flags stands in front of the Seattle Space Needle under a blue sky. A golden retriever sits on green grass wearing a dog-bone shaped signed around its neck that says "Scoop Your Coup." A protest sign shows an orca's head with an open, sharp-toothed mouth on which is written "EAT BILLIONAIRES." A man holds a white protest sign showing a simply drawn burning dumpster with a sad face on it - beneath is written, "EVERY DAY."

What jersey am I rocking for the #SeaKraken vs. #GoJetsGo showdown? 🤔 Haven’t worn this one this season, but no doubt—it’s WC Tanev! 🔥

After being traded at the deadline, Turbo makes his return to Seattle tonight. Let’s gooo! 🚀🏒

3/7 #scryfallrandom is a really interesting way to be super annoying or combotastic
Cowardice {3}{U}{U} Enchantment Whenever a creature becomes the target of a spell or ability, return that creature to its owner’s hand. (It won’t be affected by the spell or ability.)

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.
