Exactly how much time do you need to prepare not doing something? It’s a very binary decision to make and the implications of it are immediately obvious.

The communication regarding it needed to be better executed it. Based on communication and hashtags I saw being used, people weren't even sure if they are not streaming for BLM or because of Twitch sexual predators and abusers.

Imagine being the guy who is like “boycotting Twitch for BLM? That’s fine...but boycotting Twitch for harbouring rapists? That’s where I draw the line.”

There's lots of streamers streaming that refused to talk about it, like Crokeyz because he's a coward.
He cant take a day off - without him streaming where will people get their daily content of someone chain smoking, ripping fat vape clouds while saying “pogchamp” / “kek” and getting completely destroyed by mystmin running some lovely grixis pile

That said if you want to keep talking about Magic with goons hit us up at https://discord.gg/zg6fDFU. Be warned we actually have an active mod presence there so try not to be a dingus if you join!

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
To distract with a rules query, what's the interaction between Doom Fortold and Tamiyo? I assume that whatever Tamiyo's owner has going on, they can't be made to sac a creature so the "If they can't" condition goes off instead (although her controller won't discard because of her)

I was just presented with a chance to test it out, but also with a chance to win there and then with Oath of Kaya.

...on the plus side I'm feeling much more angry now than I expected so this totally helps me get in character.
The best take I heard on the Twitch Blackout was that a far far more effective way to get attention to the issue and pressure Twitch would be to organize a day where everyone streamed on the topic and spoke about it instead of their normal content, which would make the subject unavoidable on the website. Taking a day off is a fairly meaningless gesture, which is more than zero but not a good way to use your platform to make a real impact.

The interaction should be the same principle as Tamiyo and Kroxa: They can't discard a nonland card, so they don't discard a nonland card, so they lose 3 life.

Cool, always thought so but was reminded when I almost found out.

In case anyone is interested in etymology, I checked and Triome is a nonsense word/fun bit of wordplay, since part of biome comes, as you might guess, from bio rather than bi.

Ya it'd be better to have even at least the top watched streamers in different games be talking about the subject. The whole Ninja/Shroud thing just proved how quickly and replaceable streamers are so if someone is totally offline those viewers will just go to the next channel and might even give more money to twitch as they sub to a new channel they wouldn't otherwise watch.

The controller of Tamiyo neither sacs a thing, nor discards a card. Doom Foretold's controller still gets a card, life, and creature token.

I like it-- even though a lot of words in MtG are nonsense, they still make sense if you bother to look into the etymology. Whoever named some of these cards are very clever people.

for example, Borborygmos is named after borborygmus, more colloquially known as one's stomach rumbling

For what it's worth, the selection of streamers for the M21 "Streamer preview" seems pretty anemic. Also I clicked on Amazonian for a second and she was talking about how she "needs to give Riot more money" because of a new ingame pet or whatever, during her exclusive WotC promo show lmao

It's funny how the two posters with the worst possible takes on magic are now applying those terrible takes to everything else in their lives. Like y think being a miserable jackass some of the time would be enough, but apparently you have to wallow in poo poo like a hog to feel anything in life.

I like the nicknames that cards get, like quench being 'mana weak' or dreadhorde arcanist being 'slapcaster mage'.

Den protector -> maternal witness is also good, and omen of the sea -> seaordain is also pretty inspired.
