A public declaration of covid is because they know they can't actually contact everyone they interacted with.
And it should come equity a public declaration of vac status because even with covid getting vaccinated reduces your chance of spread.

There's also the chance that he's just lying about being vaccinated because lots of anti-vax folks quietly think that they can't get COVID if everyone around them is vaccinated.

Either way he can get hosed.

Comparing it to "lands in front" is wrong. It's closer to "hiding dryad FTV dryad arbor in a pile of avacyn restored forests" imo.

Unless I missed some there's about 15 new keywords in Future Sight, and that includes abilities that already existed but didn't have names like Reach and Shroud. Compare that to Tarkir block that had 11 new mechanics.

Future Sight had a lot (A LOT) more mechanics that already existed, but I wouldn't consider Future Sight "accounting" for those.

holy poo poo are we really at the point of 'people only care about covid to score points on the internet'

Demanding someone’s Covid status on Twitter to a complete stranger is 100% trying to score internet points, what are you going on about? Vaxxed people are going to get Covid from now until forever and it’s something people are going to have to get used to.

And before people try to project some dumb anti-vax agenda onto this post, I’ve been vaxxed since March and think everyone should get vaxxed and also think anyone that went to Vegas was extremely dumb, vaxxed for not.

The only people who have some right to know someone's vaccinated status are the ones who have interacted with them (ie a restaurant has a right, because you're about to drag your potentially plague ridden rear end in there) or are related to them in so way (friends, family, coworkers, etc). This way you can make informed decisions on how you continue to interact with this person (ie going to a convention).

You don't have to give your vaccinated status to random internet strangers much like if you were a gay man you wouldn't have to respond to strangers demanding to know if you're on PrEP. You don't owe them poo poo, they're never going to be at risk from what you may or may not have and if they do actually end up in a public space with you at some point the organization is the one doing the checking for public safety, not some dude who is in it just to shame you on the internet.

In this case there’s definitely a duty of care on the Vegas idiot’s part to publicly identify his status because yes, he exposed a whole large group of people and has no way of telling all of them specifically. The exception would be if the TO reached out to get his status and tell everyone, otherwise yes, people do need to know “hey, there was someone contagious at the GP, please get tested and self-isolate if you have symptoms.”

Again, this might be an American style thing but up here there’s tons of news articles and press releases that are like “someone at Starbucks on Jace and Vraska Avenue had COVID, if you were there on Thursday please watch out” and that absolutely applies in this case.

Well it seems like the organizing body did their bare minimum (vaccine or negative test) and now this dude is left with doing contact tracing on his own.

So, on the one hand someone's covid status could be sort of relevant to all trad games since they're an inherently social hobby (stuff like Arena notwithstanding).

On the other hand I'm the only mod here and I want to go to bed. Please knock off the covid chat for the next 8-10 hours or so before this goes even further downhill.

I doubt it, hullbreaker is 7 mana and doesn’t even give you any immediate value. Cultivator colossus gives you a ton of value on ETB

Thing about cultivator colossus I didn't realize is that it's ability is uninterruptible, there's no stack for its etb effect, you just plop down lands and draw until done and nothing can interrupt that once it starts.
