Pussyliquor are a fucking rad punk band, many of whom used to work at my bar Rule Zero between gigs. Hell, they played our closing party.
Now they are playing Download 2026, on the same bill as Guns & Roses. Sick as all Hell.

Fun little throwback to doing Age of Sigmar event coverage that popped up in my memories feed.
Would you believe that in spite of fancy Tricasters, the lynchpin of that setup was a hastily created overlay system using PowerPoint, which let us do things like transparent deployment zone overlays?

Sometimes it’s another scammy card. Sometimes it’s how you steal an opponent’s creature that’s about to die. Sometimes it lets you do weird flashy enchantments things. It’s always interesting though :)

In this time of outrage, can I throw into the mix that now you can get a chocolate orange without the orange flavour, making it a… chocolate ball?

Yeah, I don’t think that current naming conventions would have allowed for the whole quote to be a card name. The longest card name I’ve found in a quick search is this one.

Some of this may also be that when read as a sentence between title and flavour text there is Strange Capitalisation.
There being an exclamation point *is* true to the original line from the comics, though that line is both longer, and differently punctuated elsewhere in the sentence.

Somehow looking at Magic cards has made me into a typesetting nerd.
I don’t have enough characters for how awkward looking the handling of the ellipses on this card is.
I get that the Beleren font may not have the ellipsis character, but between the title and flavour text, everything reads janky.

I like to make my own caption t-shirts, in part because they make me happy, and in part because I’m cheap.
I really want a black t-shirt with the words Dirty Tetris in hot pink in this sort of font, but sadly it’s apparently not allowed at my printers because of something to do with copyright 🫤

If, having read this card, you can tell me its current Oracle text without taking a sneaky peek, I will be somewhat impressed.
