That’s a very powerful ability! It’s pretty expensive and needs to survive the turn cycle but if there is a good way to ramp for dinos in the set, I could see this being a payoff for that kind of midrange deck. Even a single turn unanswered provides a ton of value. If it can’t overcome the 2 mana removal though this is DOA.

[[Kitesail Freebooter]] is back, but with no relevant creature types. The lifelink is nice, but I don’t think this is gonna see any play outside of limited.

How many “count cards in gy” mechanics do we have now? Threshold, Delirium, Descend, that’s at least three

Makes sense, I missed that this was an ability word, not a mechanic. I guess descend/descended has rules meaning in the same way that ‘dies’ does but given its thematic name it’s not likely to be reused.

I feel like this card is absolutely nuts but I think this is just where we are for creature power creep. Over half the time, this is a non-legendary one mana 2/2 with counter synergies that basically surveils 1. The other option is a 1 mana creature that draws a land card. Those would both be insane if printed straight up.

The downside is you do not get to choose. ETB draw a card creatures usually only get played in blink decks or with other synergies (spirited companion in enchantments) and 1 mana 2/2s only get played in stompy or aggro decks. I think you try this in stompy with [[Tribute to the World Tree]]

Very very good for limited. At first I thought it was common and was scared - I’m having a hard time telling the rarity from the set symbol with this one and have to reference the footer a lot.

Well said. The idea of progress can truly be a shackle. Your username is doomer but you don’t sound like a doomer!

I love Seven Wonders Duel but I wouldn’t call it super accessible compared to something like Hive. There’s quite a lot to keep track of for the first few playthroughs. But for two people who are experienced with other games it has a good amount of replayability!

My favorites for two are Carcasonne, Seven Wonders Duel, and classic Cribbage. Those first two aren’t exactly simple to learn though.

Another suggestion is to play a cooperative game with two. This can be really fun to talk about thr strategy together since you are on a team. For simpler, I like Forbidden Island and Forbidden Desert.

You are probably lucky, for now. I’m pretty sure they are rolling it out in waves. Boiling the frog and all that.

Looks fine to me on desktop via Alexandrite

Thank you!

Yeah season 2 was good television and the finale closed it well. Unlike last season, at least half the episodes were really memorable. As a book reader, I wasn’t unhappy with any of the plot departures that were made this episode - it all made sense within the Turning that the show depicts. Although I can’t say I loved the showy CGI in the sky at the end- those sort of things rarely stand up over time and I think it looked goofy.

Not too much to stop reading. It’s a pretty dry subject so the opinions and more hot-button references made the piece more readable. Though I think the characters interviewed could have added enough life without the author injecting snide comments.

Interesting. Paradox is making a turn-based game? Have they done that before?

Circassia and that Greek Empire are both pretty bold predictions for 1863, along with a World Capital in Lisbon. I wonder what Dron would have predicted for Anatolia… maybe some sort of renewed Caliphate across the mideast? I think it’s interesting that Gdansk/Danzig seems to be in Germany but Konigsberg/Kaliningrad is in Poland. Seems like a pretty arbitrary straight line border there, I guess Dron couldn’t predict a border at our current one after Germany lost two world wars.

Thanks for sharing!

Nicely done. I love your plant - I’m trying to fill my whole apartment with leafy vines like this. Though in second picture doesn’t it make it so you can’t open that cabinet?

Pulled a promo Skitter as well as Skitter’s Blessing and some real good rat synergies. One of my enchanted tales was a showcase foil Necropotence. Pretty stoked on my pulls!

As for the format, sealed has seemed really slow with all the food around. Pretty much everyone is playing black or green so everyone’s life total is practically 30. Red seems really strong though in my BR build.

Absolutely. They already play much worse RG legends for the free play and this one is effectively a ritual in that deck.

Lumun, 9 months ago

Absolutely inspired

For me, even though it still says pending, I see those communities in my Subscribed feed. So just a visual/status bug.

For accessing the communities, some apps might not have the functionality yet to search other instances from your home instance. You might try using the default web app search, since I know that works to subscribe to communities in other instances.

I downvoted because this is a popular opinion. MCU is the same thing. Most people probably don’t have a strong opinion on Star Wars either way, but for the people who do there are plenty who think it sucks.

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your personal take on the whole thing. As someone who has never been fat, I’m trying to figure out what’s the whole deal with the various movements around it. I feel it’s gonna become a much bigger cultural discussion in the next decade. And congrats on getting down to a happier weight for you! Setting and reaching goals is definitely something to be celebrated.
