To bring light to the darkness, whether that darkness be ignorance, injustice, apathy, or stagnation.
I feel like telling people to kill themselves and joking about rape are a fair bit worse than using virulent disease names as shorthand for "awful", even if the last isn't particularly tasteful

Deal with it.

You didn't pay someone else a fee for doing it though. I think that is the big difference.

That article left me kind of ambivalent. On one hand, I don't use any of these terms, because 1. They're stupid and 2. It makes you sound like a 13-year-old edgelord.

On the other hand, I loving hate people telling me what I should and shouldn't be saying, because someone might be offended, and hell - if someone wants to talk like a 13-year-old edgelord, that's their problem, not mine.

Again, this is anout the feeling of being uninhibited for a change in one small area of life. I'm depressed and sad alot and beong uninhibited by making exaggerations and absurd metaphors helps my mental health. Why are my feelings not important but thise who are easily offended are? Maybe people like me should go kill ourselves because there is literally no place where I can go and try to be silly?

You're obviously not from the northeast. Or the south. Or the midwest. ...or the west coast. So I guess you're from Hawaii or another country entirely?

Edit: funny enough my first thought after reading the very first comment was "reply kill yourself." Then I remembered the whole point of the article and didn't say that (not that I would have anyway.)

I borrowed a friend's affinity deck and the first time playing it in paper I 4-0'd and thought to myself "wow this deck is broken I should buy it and just exclusively play it." The next event I borrowed it for I mulligan'd to 5 every game except one where I kept an average 7 and every g2 in the event I experienced one of modern's many wonderful artifact hate cards on curve and realized exactly why it isn't fun to play all the time.

Great deck but you can get punished so badly sometimes with it

The one regular Affinity player at our store moved a couple weeks ago, nice guy and I'll miss him but drat am I glad to not have to play against that deck anytime soon.

normally you can't play the back side of a DFC because it has no casting cost but because this is a land it gets a reminder that you can't just play it on that side.

I read one of the comments. It was awful.
If self-regulating one's language to make certain everyone else is comfortable is so much of a hassle and so stressful that they can't have fun playing magic, I don't want them to play magic.

B&R List update

All formats are unchanged except for Vintage, where Thorn is restricted, Mentor is restricted, and Bargain is unrestricted

Tainen
Jan 23, 2004


quote:

Starting with this set, all planeswalkers past, present, and future will have the supertype legendary. They will also be subject to the "legend rule." The "planeswalker uniqueness rule" is going away. What does this mean? In short, everything that's true about legendary creatures will now be true about legendary planeswalkers.

Under the new rules, if a player controls more than one legendary planeswalker with the same name, that player chooses one and puts the other into their owner's graveyard. This means that if you control Jace, Unraveler of Secrets and cast Jace, Cunning Castaway, both Jaces can exist under your control.

Planeswalkers will continue to have planeswalker types (Jace, Nissa, Bolas, and so on). However, those subtypes won't be used by any rule to determine what a player can retain control of. Cards like Jace's Defeat will continue to be able to refer to those subtypes.

Mentor kinda deserved it, so that's good. Someone at Wizards must really hate shops. Unrestricting Bargain is like to change basically nothing, so it's probably a good idea.

This is a smarter move than I would've expected from WOTC but I guess they've dealt with enough leaks to finally figure that there's little upside to playing dumb and clamming up.
