ASK ME ABOUT HOW NOT BEING A FUCKING ASSHOLE ON THE ROAD IS JUST LIKE BEING A JEW AT A NAZI GATHERING BECAUSE I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO NOT BE A FUCKING ASSHOLE AND WHEN PEOPLE TREAT ME LIKE I'M A FUCKING ASSHOLE THAT IS JUST LIKE GENOCIDE

TheKingofSprings posted:

This seems like a good and appropriate time to ask you about how not being a loving rear end in a top hat on the road is just like being a Jew at a Nazi gathering because you cannot understand how to not be a loving rear end in a top hat and when people treat you like you're a loving rear end in a top hat that is just like genocide.

Is calling you a loving rear end in a top hat for this dumbass statement about a guy with no power or authority getting punched in the face by a douchebag comparable to genocide, PleasantDirge?

Idk, that red text is more about how I have more empathy for criminals on motorized transportation than rich dipshits in expensive SUV's than the fact that I sometimes use clumsy metaphor but if you are so up my rear end you can go read all my posts and report back here how mean I am because we DO have some new ppl I haven't yelled at yet

Seriously, I asked a reasonable question about how I remembered a second/third hand story about something and asked for clarification, what did your wife say No to tonight bruh? Trick question, nobody cares and don't take it out on me

I guess ninjas and samurai in warring states period (?) isn't too bad of a take on Fantasy Japan but I'd rather see folktale inspired stuff with woodblock print on premium cards. I'm talking tanuki planeswalker with giant loving balls. Cmon wotc, you cowards.

Getting alt-art woodblock/silk screen cards would rule, so do it wotc

Ikoria having three characters with cards called Lutri, Lurrus and Lukka was way more confusing to me than anything I remember from Kamigawa to be honest; trying to keep everyone’s name straight this set has been harder for me than I remember it ever being in the past.

I was trying to get Arena to run using the Lutris games for linux system. That made the names even more confusing, especially with google autocompletes.

I never realized until now how badly I need full art ukiyo-e basics. It'd be worth the $600 it'd cost me in Secret Lairs but Wizards would gently caress it up by making them foil.

What exactly is a floor check here because googling says it's knocking them down and stomping on their face? Which would presumably have at least a police report.

It’s also lovely because WotC doesn’t employ the judges, the TOs do, so even if the Judge has been injured or whatever, WotC wouldn’t have their back or support them in anyway.

Amas sucks and has a terrible attitude, they shouldn’t court someone with that attitude or ego for their game.

I think the guy means "forecheck" which google says is a defensive strategy and not specifically running into a guy, but the strategy looks like it involves a lot of running into guys straight on.

The Samurai took over Japan for an extended period of time because they were the military and the landowners and the Emperor let them because he had neither military or land and they allowed him to keep his title and cushy benefits.

Ikoriamigawa: Behemoths vs. Titans

After [insert planeswalker fuckery here, Teferi is probably involved somehow], the planes of Kamigawa and Ikoria collide. After this cataclysmic event, each of the plane's human populations are threatened with extinction. Beasts and spirits intermix to form new, twisted horrors. With no other options, the humans of Kamigawa and Ikoria form an allegiance. Harnessing the Kamigawan's knowledge of the arcane and the Ikorian's knowledge of the energy crystals, they forge a new weapon: enormous mecha called Titans. With this new tech, the humans can now even the playing field in their fight for survival.

Hire me wizards.

It's pretty classic green afaik. "Look at X top cards if your library and put a creature/land into your hand" at common is something they've been doing for ages. Adventurous Impulse in Ikoria, Once Upon a Time in Eldraine, etc.

I know people say this all the time, but I would be delighted for this to be the new thread title.

As for the card, prowess seems pretty good in this set. It’ll be fun in limited for sure, but I’m not sure if there’s enough for it to be good enough in standard again.
