This one drop seems very good to me. Baseline 1/3 gain a life for one mana?

Ragavan has met his match.

The loss of roaming territory to the sedentary oppressors might also have something to do with the transition.

Aww, shucks.

Must say, kinda miffed it gets a turn to die to sorcery speed interaction before you get to untap with it.

TV shows:
Babylon Berlin - nearing the end of the first series. It’s been very good so far. Heartily recommend.

Atlanta - Working my way through series 4. Don’t think it has hit the highs of S3 so far, but still enjoying it a lot. Well worth watching all the same.

Films: Cam - ultimately underwhelming psychological horror that didn’t do enough with the premise I think. Not bad, but just perhaps not ambitious or exploratory enough with its comceit.

El Conte - another great premise, but ultimately underwhelming film. Went in wanting to love it and it started well, but botched the landing. Maybe if I was a leftist chilanos it’d have resonated with me more, but the whole “it’s all corrupt and they all knew” thing just fell flat. I wanted it to go beyond that. Some good moments and nicely shot scenes though.

I am so hype for this set now.

And Bloomburrow hasn’t even come out yet.

Enduring X looks to be a rare cycle of enchantment creatures that die into an enchantment with a static ability, based off of the fully spoilt Black one.

Since it’s an enchantment creature maybe it just isn’t a creature until the last counter comes off?

So a 1GG enchantment with the etb, that becomes a creature in 4 turns.

It’s not.

It’s just reposting 4chan stuff. That post is fine, but look over the community and you’ll find a lot of punching down and the odd dog whistle post.

I get you’re being facietious, but it’s more like chimps are monkeys in about the same way a hammerhead shark and a lungfish are different.

At the beginning of each upkeep, lose two life and draw 2 sodas.

I’ll say it: milipedes are cute.

FFX-2 has a great battle system, and job based FFs were always the most rewarding to play.

XIII was the point I just decided I didn’t care any more. (Also, there’s no way that XIII gets to count as retro already, right?)

While centipedes are fine, I’ve always been much more of a milipede fan.

I think fixing will be much less good with rotation, at least initially. Plus fixing needs to be really good to make splashing a 1 drop viable.

I also don’t think it will sink the deck, but I do think it makes it notably worse.

You’re right that demolishing their own Yotian Frontliner post combat, or even the turn you play it after tapping it to something might still be good enough though.

Epicure means that they have two different 1 drops that make an artifact which they can turn into 3 goblins the following turn.

With only one 1 drop, there probably isn’t the value in running Gleeful Demolition. Which makes their starts much less explosive.

If these are legit (and I think they must be because that gift mechanic is too bizarre not to be) then Ral’s ultimate is mad fun, and maybe doze too with that loyalty adding passive.

13/20

Kicked myself for a couple of them, others I had absolutely no hope.

An actual rush is a very all in strategy, just don’t fall too far behind on making combat units and you’ll be fine.

Its as true in AoE2 as it is in Starcraft(pick one).

Great fun games, tickle me in a different way to slower, absolutely no rush, 4X games.

Still some of the best party shooters out there. A plethora of game modes, and a co-op story mode as well. The original and FP are great games. 2 took itself a little too seriously in my opinion (and didn’t have character select lines) for it to match up to quite the same level.

China Mieville and Ursula Le Guin are both up there are authors who have written things that have felt momentous to read.

But I’m not sure either of them could edge out Terry Pratchett as the author whose work I’ve enjoyed going back to time and time again, having read most of Discworld at a more formative age probably helps too.

My favourite is the one where they use bananas as proof of God. (Always boring monothiests, too…
