Afflict 10 seems better than unblockable in a world you can force your opponent to block.

I know it is a joke, but I am morbidly curious as to what a metagame where lure is ban-worthy would be like.

I really didn't expect the Marvel ban.

Feels like a tipping point was reached the behind the scenes, and they've decided to clean up all the garbage in one go, painful though it may be.

Could be like bestow but cast from the graveyard. Would be an interesting variation on the embalm concept.

It could even be that the card doesn't exile when cast as an aura, which would fit nicely with the eternalise keyword and perhaps account for the cost.

Probably not, but the Cat's a rare. 1/1 doublestrike that gives you a doublestike emblem for 5 seems pretty rad.

I suppose they could do it at uncommon for bad anthems, like +0/+1.

maybe not an emblem, but maybe something like, create an artifact token. it has indestructible and (creature stats+abilities). kind of a nod to the monuments to the gods and past artifacts that were similar, like the Akroma and Eldrazi monuments. would also make sense flavorwise.

Holy poo poo, I'm two weeks behind on the Relationship subreddit thread in GBS, but I just came across dis gem:

quote:

My girlfriend [26F] and I [25M] of one year just moved in together. We are having issues with my hobby.

I play a tabletop game called Magic the Gathering. I am a very competitive person. I'm always a good sport and I am always positive. I take my losses well and always seek to improve myself. I've gotten so much better than her and my friends that she feels left behind. She feels she can't share in the game with me anymore. So, now all my time spent on the game excludes her.

The problem she is concerned with is the amount of time I spend getting better at this game. She claims that any time she turns her back she feels like I'm doing something related to magic. I'll admit this is true. Its something I am passionate about and something I am getting very good at. I had hopes of going to compete at a large event potentially for money. But its looking like I will not be able to do that and maintain a relationship where everyone is happy.

I have tried to "tone it down" but the issue is if I am not getting constantly better it ruins the whole point of the game to me. Its the constant analytical thinking, math, and research that keeps me passionately engaged. Trying to do it more casually is unenjoyable for me. If I'm not playing at my best I am not having fun. This means practice and research in my spare time away from her.

We had a similar issue in the past where I was playing it so much I was neglecting her which we changed. Now I only play when she's busy or away but even that seems to be too much.

All that said, I've told her I'd leave the hobby before I leave her but is that healthy?

I don't judge him for the story, I've heard plenty of similar stories with another competitive hobby (tennis, dirt bike, etc) in place of magic.

I will judge him for posting in r/relationships. That and r/legaladvice are two of the collectively dumbest places on the internet. Anyone who turns to either for help deserves what they get.

It uses the same wording as something like

If it triggered once per blocker, it'd be worded like

someone pointed this out on Rosewater's blog, but with the new rotation and set size changes, we'll soon be seeing standards that are, size-wise, more like Time Spiral/Llorwyn block standard

Something I hadn't considered, but it's likely that having a larger card pool may help standard avoid dominant strategies
