I’m playing a bit, but I really want to dedicate more time to the game. I picked up a leverless controller so I’m still getting used to the inputs and shortcuts.

Interesting that that your thumb is bothering you - are you using the dpad or stick on controller?

Looks like a really fun spells-matter card with strong effects. But I’d be surprised if this made it into Standard at 5 MV.

Oof that’s a tough one… mull to 5 is rough, they probably figured they’d have a better chance to draw those lands, especially if the curve was good.

Honestly, that’s great that you enjoy them! I think the negativity is the sets aren’t self-contained. Once they’re released, they’re a part of magic and the eternal formats forever. Especially for those who have played for decades, that identity shift of the game is jarring.

While I don’t feel as negatively about these sets as the other poster, the attempt to be “flashy” strikes me the wrong way. Even though it’s been years now, I feel the same was true for the sets you listed in your response.

I understand that they’re trying to market to a broad audience and generate hype for cool new worlds / themes / crossovers, but I’d prefer if the sets were slower and we spent more time on each plane.

I realize this topic has been beaten to death and I have a bit of old man bias with this, but I’m not thrilled that trend is continuing.

Interesting! So if I’m understanding correctly, the scare about YouTube stopping adblocked users was being caused by the Enhancer for Youtube extension? If so, that’s a relief.

I hope the game picks up for you! I remember enjoying the game a lot, the items were fun and that final boss was a blast. I also really liked the art style, though I can see why some people didn’t.

I haven’t played it since launch, but I’m really hoping they do a remaster for it soon. I’m surprised they did Skyward Sword before it…

There are dozens of us! I think the book is enjoyable if all you’re expecting is a fun but shallow ride. If it’s been hyped up, it’s going to be disappointing. A lot of reviews treat it like the pinnacle of the genre, which is ridiculous.

It is! But it’s a bit sad we have to think about it.

Wow wasn’t expecting to see an Addie LaRue reference today! Who’s to say that the thought of “Ralph” doesn’t trigger thoughts or feelings in an individual that affects them later on today, later on this week, etc. I agree it’s a beautiful sentiment.

P.S. That’s probably my favorite book I’ve read in the last few years.
