not sure "urging cynicism at the US's motives in exploiting HK protests" qualifies as sucking cock :thunk:

ok looking at his retweets yeah its pretty loving yikes.

i mean he has a point that us criticism of the prc is never ever done in good faith and will likely not lead to actual beneficial outcomes for workers but they can be not as bad as the us and still loving sucks.

Whew, good to know the prc isn’t as bad as the us

I don’t think continuing this argument would make for a particularly fruitful debate, especially in this forum. Sorry for engaging, but as someone from a country wrecked by soviet occupation the tankie/tankie adjacent talking points can be infuriating.

A new character from the first WAR novel who is quirky and and knows everything about being a planeswalker and who Planeswalkers are despite not being one, but also she's invisible, but not really it's just really hard to see her, and she's not sure what Guild she's gonna join, and oh dear God it's really bad writing, she's a walking poorly written plot device, make it stop.

No she does not have a card.

I dunno who Greg Weisman is, is he any good? I picked up the Eldraine novel because it was only $4 and was pretty well-reviewed and I'm generally surprised that I'm liking it. It reads pretty simplistically but it's solid. Makes me like Rowan a lot more.

He wrote the War of the Spark novel and everyone agrees that novel was trash.

I'm not actually surprised. My guess is a lot of enfranchised players don't actually make WotC a lot of money since we are probably more secondary market shoppers than primary ones (buying singles, etc).

it has better also be astrolabe in pauper, but who knows. I wouldn’t necessarily bet against urza either— I don’t think it’s necessarily a needed ban, but after they got burned on hogaak they’re not gonna gently caress around banning something else.

So we need itshappening.gif, but with Urza instead of Ron Paul.

I guess I should also enjoy the Golos fields deck on MTGA for as long as I can, because something it it is getting trashed at a minimum.

If it's in-print, sure. The overinflated prices of cards for modern/legacy/EDH that aren't in print, though.

reminder that when Felidar Guardian got banned in Standard they announced on that Monday "No Changes" and then on Friday they banned it, because once people knew their deck wasn't getting banned the number of results with it on modo shot way up
