quote:

sebmckinnon Yesterday, I traveled to Ottawa with my family to support the Trucker Freedom Convoy. The media and politicians are trying to paint this as "anti-vax" and "white supremacist". Don't fall for it, and don't be like them. This is vile, and insulting to the good people there, unvaxxed and vaxxed alike, from all races and walks of life, taking a stand for the following:

- Freedom of choice and bodily sovereignty.
- Informed medical consent. No coercion.
- A world without QR codes.
- No mandates; tools of segregation, discrimination.
- End of lockdowns & restrictions, which are damaging to mental health and the lives of ALL, from the elderly to the youngest child.

If you don't stand for the above, ask yourself why. For those who hold these principles dear, especially if you're Canadian, I encourage you to take a stand as well at this moment of history. After yesterday, I am compelled to speak out and voice that what is going on in this country is NOT RIGHT. choose love over fear. And for the first time in a long time, I feel hope.

Ontario (like most of Canada) has a vaccine passport to go to indoor public spaces with an integrated QR code. The latest lockdown ends tomorrow and restaurants will be required to check the QR codes for the next bit.

Being against vaccine mandates is technically different, but on the same level of stupidity.

Definition of orange:

Any of a group of colors that are between red and yellow in hue. Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Old Occitan, from Arabic, from Persian, from Sanskrit.

Definition of lex:

Law. Latin.

This seems very good for a common? And even across multiple formats, not just limited. The enchantment tag is strong and 2 mana cycle a land would be decent even without white's classic "just add gain 2 life because we want to push this card but, you know, white push instead of green or blue push". I guess it's overcosted if it's ever played fairly though.

when the reasons you give for being against vaccine mandates is that it's loving segregation that's when any miniscule shred of 'well there might be GOOD reasons for this person to be against mandates' goes out the window

The place to look for modern viability of the channel cards is living end. If living end wouldnt play it, it isn't playable (probably). LE doesn't play basic plains, and it's not worth it to do so for this card, so probably not.

Seb's art didn't seem super great to me in and of itself but it was so different from all the other homogenous poo poo that gets pumped out, so I always appreciated it for being more "original Magic art"-like than nearly anything else getting made at the present.

His style was very metal and metal fans love it, but he does it in a way that others can enjoy. Like I don't think he's the best but ... That dirge card with the singing skeletons is good.

Best artist for me though is always going to be John Avon

Really regretting sending him so much Kickstarter money for playmats. Let alone the really cool one that was a collab between him and Rebecca Guay.

Just ordered a Gaea's Cradle mat, guess I'll be using that one more anyway.

Can the artists I like stop ending up to be lovely? I dunno what I'm gonna do if Johannes Voss or Rebecca Guay or Nils Hamm goes this way too.
