Late summer maybe?

The format balance is healthy but it’s just boring seeing the engine/staple cards for so long. Beans and Rage are perfectly fine power-wise but they just set the deck types way too much and everything has to conform to those cards. Sure, the threats have changed but the framework is stagnant

Good bans. I still hate long standard but not much to be done about that.

There are many protests, more than there were in 2017, but they are mostly smaller in attendance. The difference is the media coverage. And you are right, there hasn’t been a single event like the Women’s March that has broken through to international coverage.

Damn that is the best 1/1 deathtouch I’ve seen. Wonder of we get a common chap deathtoucher too

Dangers is seriously underappreciated by romance enjoyers dissuaded by the premise, but its one of the best coming of age stories I’ve seen. I’m watching and liking Blue Box and Solo Leveling right now.

Justice for the Buffy! We’ll get it next year. Those small owls had to knock out all the big birds. This is a really striking portrait and coloration though!

Really cool design. Decayed is a pretty limited design space but I like this one

Looks like a standard sideboard staple. Probably will replace Pawpatch Formation in green decks unless some dominant deck is all fliers

This article does almost seem written to downplay the book’s most damaging claims. They buried the Myanmar story at the end and the detailed account the author gave to the carelessness with which the execs treated the riots and violence. Another anecdote missing from this article is how they are pushing weight loss and beauty ads to teen girls right when they delete a recently taken selfie and how execs responded when this was brought up. Not that that is news exactly as we already know Meta does that sort of thing

Oh wow this card looks like a limited bomb uncommon. In a lot of formats you want to cast that removal as many times as possible, though the prevalance of dragons does make it a little worse but then you have the other option. I think this will be a real groan test.

This sounds great. If you end up writing something for the other commenter using a Linux server and the Messenger bridge I would love to hear if there were any pitfalls to avoid!

Damn the Rheinland and that whole river valley is oof. Industrialization and its consequences

Yeah there is some cool and powerful stuff in the set but there are just too many tried and true strategies. I don’t think I’m a fan of this long rotation.

Surprised there isn’t more oculus in the top 8. Didn’t realize overlords were still so dominant.

Pretty notable that there are almost no Aetherdrift cards in these lists, though that graveyard deck is pretty cool - it just looks way too fair

I think it refers to a cap (hat), because culturally when you take off your cap it means you are being truthful. Similar to the term “hat in hand”

I looked into it more and seems like the origins of cap meaning to lie is unclear. So looks like I was off base

They might like thar type of content at !wizards@lemmy.world, which has 1k subscribers already.

That’s exactly where I’m at too. The side plots are more self contained and feel easier to plan since they don’t have to tie in

I also really like being able to see user instances but often this means I can’t see User Upvote count or other tags. I would love if that info could line wrap, Or maybe a small symbol to the left of the name or a color change to indicate there are user notes to look for?
