Yep, that’s right, play any card and then reset your turn or put the card back in hand to fan your cards out again

Any chance I can hear this spoken?
No worries if it is meant for the page, I’ve made assumptions

It’s time for Jenrick to fail up, I guess

Thank you. As an exercise I really enjoyed delving into your poem.

I hit the word limit a few times so I took screenshots:
I’m not a professional by any means and I do like the fact that you’ve written a response poem which is so faithful to its inspiration. Just a few thoughts: ‘Inane’ is such a good word choice and such an abrupt repost to the other poem. I like this. ‘Fantastical’ means ‘remote from reality’, and overall the second line is a bit ‘clunky’. I wonder if you can keep the form and the meaning by replacing ‘fantastical’ with a word like ‘remote’ or ‘removed’? ‘Entirely’ and ‘completely’ are synonymous, whereas the inspiring poem uses adverbs with different meanings and their second line ‘hits’ a bit more sharply. Their ‘perfectly’ drips of sarcasm. Could you find a way to do something similar with a different word choice? I think that the work that ‘fantastical’ is meant to do is to bring a bit of sharpness, but for the reasons I stated above I think you should drop that word. ‘Imagine’; something imagined can still become true, whereas ‘pretend’ suggests a level of self delusion (“cope”). Imagining is a tool needed for ‘hope’ (noun), so if this is supposed to skewer the position of a progressive, it kind of misses. However, maybe using ‘hope’ as a verb here is a more scathing choice? As hope alone won’t bring equity, and there’s the implied accusation that there’s little else but hope. Your last line is fire! ‘Arriving’ underscoring the passivity of the subject of the poem, ‘any moment’ contrasting just how long ‘equity’ has been absent.

I do not have Goliath or Moonstone but have been playing all cap decks with and enjoying it. I might make a Shield Surfer deck for fun.

I’m interested in which movies came in your top 3 and honourable mentions for this category. I think Villeneuve & Roger Deakin’s Blade Runner is jaw dropping
