I think you have some blue instant counterspell thing that is worth at least a few hundred, might be worth digging it out.

Edit: Force of Will, it's not worth that much not worth the effort probably sorry

Draft is the only acceptable way to play competitive magic, but also don’t play magic. Find a living card game and play that.

Don't be silly. Those robots are expensive.

The military would rather send a cheap soldier into the room and detonate them instead of a robot.

Dominion is fuckin' fantastic and has the side benefit of being a deck building game i.e. you build your deck over the course of the game

so the actual expense is on whoever bought the game + expansions and it doesn't get imbalanced due to how much individual players have spent.

If you like Scrabble as well as dominion check out Paperback, it’s one of my favorite deck builders.

So there's this thing that sometimes happens when people go into space, where they look back at the Earth and, seeing it hanging in there in the void with no national boundaries and protected by an atmosphere much thinner than it seems from the surface, they start to perceive it as a fragile ball that, above all else, needs to be protected.

Bezos recently went into space, so you might be wondering if he had a similar experience, and if so, is he willing to put his wealth on the line to make that happen?

Well...
