Trump doesn’t give a shit and neither do his supporters. He says the wrong things on purpose and republicans love him for that. I don’t know why these people bother “fact checking” when you should just assume if his mouth is open, there’s lies coming out of it.

They need to ban more than just Jeweled Lotus and Mana Crypt. Sol Ring, Mana Vault, Mox Diamond, Mox Opal, Chrome Mox, Lotus Petal, Grim Monolith, Mishra’s Workshop, and some others I’m probably forgetting all need to go. If they want EDH to be a slow, durdle, battlecruiser format, you can’t have fast artifact mana and tutors.

EDH is a $5,000 turn 2 format its players are in denial about because they want to have their Worldgorger Dragon combo and eat their Demonic Tutor, too.

but at least won’t make it worse.

Any arguments for harm reduction were gunned down in the streets of Gaza.

These things already exist. Credit scores determine whether or not you can buy a house in certain neighborhoods. People are being deported for their political beliefs. The US has the largest prison population on the planet, both per capita and sheer numbers. When/if you do get out of prison, felonies stay with you the rest of your life, even for something ridiculous like marijuana possession.

You’re worried about a hypothetical when there’s the real thing right in front of you.

I’ve been playing since Mirage and Universes Beyond combined with Modern Horizons has left a bad taste in my mouth. They’ve also had more bans in Standard in around six years than the previous 25 years combined, including the initial banlist separating it from Type 1, Urza’s block, and the first Mirrodin block.

UB is WotC trying to avoid paying artists and writers to make new worlds. MtG hasn’t always had the best writing or storytelling, but it’s always been a labor of love creating different settings. With UB now coming to Standard, they don’t have to do any of that. The artwork for Marvel/Assassin’s Creed/etc. is already done. They can use leftover storyboards and concept art from films, video games, and TV shows. They don’t have to do any writing.

WotC will eventually use AI images when they think they can get away with it. Combined with UB, they will completely gut their creative department.

UB would have been great as silver bordered cards. It gets people to actually buy Un-sets while keeping it seperate from the main game. Silver borders would allow them to explore deliberately broken mechanics without damaging the meta of the main game.

Like the Infinity Gauntlet in the upcoming Marvel stuff could be something stupid like an Omniscience, Staff of Domination, and Mindslaver rolled into one card.

Really wish they’d stop making “equipment and auras matter” themed mechanics/archetypes without giving them proper support. The reason decks like Bogles were a thing is because the creatures had hexproof and there was a draw engine with Kor Spiritdancer.

When it’s just “This creature gets +1/+1 for each equipment you control,” it leaves new players feeling like garbage because they constantly get 2-for1’d. They feel like they wasted money and lose interest in the game. Experienced players don’t like these products/draft archetypes because they already understand what happens.

The basic lands look dope, though.

Bit idea: we teach Trump about Graham’s Number so he creates tariffs with rates higher than the amount of atoms in the universe.

They keep reinventing Extended every four to six years, which was the old rotation schedule of Extended lmao. They would solve a lot of problems if they brought the format back and actually maintained a banlist. The format died due to U/B Faeries followed by Stoneblade pushing everything else out.

Breach is a card that should have never been printed.

I have no fucking idea how it got past playtesting. Yawgmoth’s Will was, for a long time, the strongest non-power card in Vintage.

Daze, Reanimate, and Entomb existed for years without being a problem. Banning them would IMO be a sign R&D screwed up somewhere else.

I too would like to see Bowmasters gone, along with The One Ring, mostly so I can save my store credit. I’d rather drop $200 on ABUR duals than a playset of cards that can be reprinted or always have the banhammer looming over them.

Okay what if we also wash the chicken in sodium? Then everybody wins!

Roma, LGBTQ+ people, Jahovah’s Witnesses, the deaf, and the disabled were all targeted by the Holocaust and none of them were given an ethno-state where they act with impunity towards the indigenous population.

The Holocaust wasn’t even the only genocide during WWII. What I’ve learned over my lifetime is a lot of people aren’t bothered by the Holocaust because it was the fucking Holocaust. They’re bothered it happened to people who look like them.

Maybe idk

Capitalism is so all-consuming it’s like water to fish. “Capitalism” becomes synonymous with words like economy, markets, trade, laws, and government. It no longer is an ideology, but an immutable force in the universe.

New bit idea: tell people you’re “as left as they cum,” and always cum facing your left.

For some additional context: the Onion has been reposting old articles like this one for the last few days that have come true. There were Trump Edition bibles made that also have the Constitution in them, including the 2nd. Ammendment.

Real :doomer: hours.

I’d settle for a Columbian necktie, as well.

That’s what I mean. Maybe I’m misremembering, but didn’t he have one that was supposed to put out a list of names online or some shit? And then he died and nothing happened, likely because feds got to it.

Didn’t Epstein have one? I think if something that incriminating can be eliminated, the concept as you said doesn’t work.

One reason it exists is because there’s no way to force jurors to rule a certain way. Once jurors go into deliberation, what happens in that room stays in that room.

Taken to its logical conclusion, there’s nothing stopping a jury from voting unanimously either way. They could vote to convict a person they think is innocent (which happens, especially when used against minorities and especially during Jim Crow). They could vote “not guilty” for a person they think is guilty.
