It's not important, but I just felt it was interesting how perspectives have changed.

In a stunning turn of events, it looks like Dack Fayden is the strongest commander out of Reality Fracture. It takes an insanely difficult infinite to get there, and we broke it down for you. draftsim.com/mtg-dack-fayden…

So you say Way of the Healer makes Cadets I can mentor and Way of the Mentor gives a bonus for healing?
Would bet my collection of felt pens (32 colors) this was a clerical mistake. And no, "clerical" doesn't mean I blame the Healer.

Disney what on earth is wrong with you?

🛍 First overall look at the Disney Wonders shop, which officially opens this Tuesday, September 22 at Disneyland Paris!
The venue is meant to be much more spacious than before, with the aim of easing customer flow between each aisle, offering greater product visibility at a glance, and making it easy to spot each franchise in one look. Efficiency was the watchword of this refurbishment, we can say that.

OK, I wrote a bit about OP but was shy on one aspect: how to make more people play grassroots. We have a huge base on commander players who don't venture into 1v1 formats too much. Getting them to play more would be amazing. And imho the answer is singleton formats.

The image on the right is an uncommon from 2009.
I don't want to name any names here, but it's clear that Wotc isn't giving their artists the time/resources they used to.

The lead songwriter for the K-Pop Demon Hunters movie: "Yeah so we purposefully made this song impossible for any one person to sing live, to drive home that these characters are superhuman."

The list of top grossing films adjusted for inflation - which isn't 'tickets sold' but is a much better metric than without accounting for inflation - is a very interesting top 10. At the risk of redoing a discourse done to death, one of these isn't quite like the others?

My few cents on hobbit Arena Direct:
I've been excited and enjoyed every single Direct so far, it's been a privilege to play them.
Hobbit has been the worst experiences I've had in the past 5 years.
I don't understand how a 2 mana 4/4 uncommon passed the testing phase. With 1 mana 3/3 and 1 mana 10/11 (if you're lucky since you survivrd to see it that big).
Menace is everywhere, so every game turns into a race or a topdecking war since you can't put too many grindy cards in your deck. Even the rares boost the agression.
Toni Portolan was spectating mr playing my last 2 games of the Direct. I curved out in both of them. I was on 0 life on my turn 4 and turn 6 without attacking opponent once.
Every broken deck that you get, you're hoping the dice don't get rolled in this way in that run since there is almost no comeback mechanism.
70% of the games that I've won, I've felt sorry for the opponents because they were not won due to my great decisions in deckbuilding or in gameplay.
I've never made a post like this and I hope I never will again. R&D has been incredible in the past 5 years and they've just been improving and imprpving in the card design but everything that could go wrong went wrong in this one.
Silver lining is that I'm on a vacation until September 🙂

For most of history, surgery was done without anasthesia.
Fruit was a luxury: people used to rent pineapples to show them off at parties.
The sewing machine meant people no longer owned only 2-3 articles of clothing. Hand stitching clothing used to take 14 hours.
Ordinary abundance lives all around us.
My favorite quotes from people’s first reaction to these hidden marvels.
Highly recommend checking out ordinaryabundance.org to see mundaneness in a new light.
Ordinary Abundance. This is the greatest thing I've read in weeks. No kidding. This should win a Pulitzer in a category not yet invented. ordinaryabundance.com/

Everyone swoons over 19th-century Paris and other finely grained European cities, then adopts a kind of learned helplessness about building anything similar in our own cities today.
We assume there must be some valid reason why developers can build enormous, complex, expensive apartment buildings that are widely unpopular, but somehow can’t build the smaller, simpler, lower-cost buildings people love, the same kinds of buildings we routinely built when we were poorer and less technologically advanced, and that Europe is still building today.
But there isn’t some deep economic or technological reason.
There are layers of arbitrary zoning rules and outdated, often discredited building codes that have systematically biased development toward coarse-grained megaprojects and against small-scale urbanism.
But we control the rules and code. If we want fine-grained cities like Paris, we need smaller parcels, no front or side setbacks, courtyards, masonry, 6 stories, etcetc
I have family in Paris and visit often.
The 19th-century French perfected urbanism; there is no other example on such a fine scale. No other city really competes with the ambulatory street-level beauty of the 5th, 6th, and 7th arrondissements (AKA 'the Left Bank'), or the monumental scale of the 1st.
Muh GDP, but the US will never build anything similar (nor will anyone else).
