The cracks between planes are new enough and weird enough that there isn't much mixing. But in the long run? I kind of get why they'd want a way to have limited inter-planar crossover that doesn't rely on every person crossing over be a member of a specific card type.

Second, they manage to somehow waste so much of that short insividual time waiting till the last seconds to get to the fuckin point after you sit through someone doing a really fast pitched excited rushing voice to cram in their greetings and blab. Objectively even the average MtG reel that's 90% wasted runtime is less time wasted than the average normal YouTube video but it somehow grates on me so much more. I guess partly because you have to sit there and be loving with the reels, I can't really go to another tab or monitor just let it ride it'll just loop or worse start floating to random reels from algorithm. So they have my attention and they're.wasting it for a greater proportion of the viewing.

OK yeah, the lack of autoplay next video is actually a detriment. Though I might just be spoiled because Maldhound has some fairly funny takes on cards and King Luke seems to capture the feel of playing with friends. You can always just loop rhystic studies to boost his view count, or listen some random 3 hour long lore video by someone who doesn't understand how to modulate their voice.

One thing that surprised me in the Weekly Mtg interview, was that there seems to be minimal if any communication between the main design team and the Arena devs responsible for Arena formats. Maybe Brown just wanted to avoid stepping on anyone’s toes, but it sounded more like he basically had no insight into Alchemy. I am not sure if that means all the non-paper designs are done in-house by the Arena team. And if they handle the balance changes themselves. I assumed it was more integrated.

Maro has talked about how the core set design team is completely separate from Arena on his podcast (and maybe some on his blog?), but obviously not everyone is plugged into that

Based on his answers I don’t know if he actually knows much about the Arena formats, but he did say he has many conversations with the Arena team.

rules question: can I run Plargg/Augusta in a deck that has Zirda as the companion, or would i need to have an activated ability on both sides for it to be a legal card in the deck?

mycomancy posted:Let me stop you right there my dude so I can vehemently disagree with you. That toxic optimism is a coping mechanism that comes from a mix of future shock and social decay. It's maladaptive as gently caress and is usually better known as "denial." Man you must be a real hit at parties. “Optimism is denial” wasn’t quite what I expected to read from the mtg thread today but I suppose in retrospect…

I haven't yet seen anyone mention the fact they printed a card called "Tolarian Contempt" in Aftermath. I mean I'm definitely not the first one to mention it, I just haven't seen it anywhere else yet.

Insistence that everything is fine when it's blatantly not because admitting to yourself that everything is not ok means you're in deep poo poo and if someone is trying to tell you it sucks they're a liar and out to get you. Star citizen is probably another good example, you end up with an insular echo chamber because being invested in a thing warps your brain.

I find surprising that so many are referring to optimism as an evaluation bias of what is currently surrounding you, since I always saw it as having hope for the future, but whatever.

toxic positivity is an actual thing, yeah, but it's a form of denial where you're mentally erasing all the negative aspects of your life in a way that makes you unable to improve your situation & it got broadened to also being in denial of societal problems but the solution to that isn't immersing yourself in pessimism or self-flagellation about enjoying or even being neutral about things with bad aspects. embracing cynicism and pessimism is also bad, as it turns out toxic optimism isn't a thing, since optimism inherently reflects an acknowledgement that things might be bad currently but they could get better

God drat are you really this dense? It's TOXIC optimism or TOXIC positivity! You're either purposefully leaving out the TOXIC part as some sort of loving bit or you're brainwormed, I don't know which. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I would say Prof is one of the most fair minded of MtG content creators, generally even handed and dishes out both criticism and praise when appropriate. WotC got the hump with him because their hubris expects unbridled praise for all the slop they have put out recently. There is no question he is the premier MtG youtuber.
