Massive difference is the discard to get the effect; this is way more Faithless Looting (still strong) than it is Ponder/Preordain. It's not card advantage, it's inherent disadvantage with some selection.

Moff Gideon wept

That's a good thing. Control decks need a way to announce they have won and move on to game 2/3

npcdel

crimped/factory miscuts can be more valuable than mint versions, but it takes a lot longer to find a buyer for that kind of oddball stuff.

Statistically, insects.

npcdel

Mine too! Shocking!

Use the extra bases you have and make "standees" out of printed-out pictures of heroes and toothpicks; if someone wants to use a model someone else is currently using, just let them use a proxy. Like you said, it's super-casual, not a tournament, so just go full print-and-play.

not with a d-ring binder

Why go through a middleman?

BCW makes colored pages. 3 cards in a penny sleeve, sorted by set # (leaders/based in their own binder). Used cut-up booster boxes to make spine cards (We use every part of the animal!)

If you think MaXXXine has coherent themes that tie everything together, you'd be the first.

The massive, overwhelming criticism of it by basically everyone is that it's a pastiche of Giallos and Abel Ferrera grime with about 4 too many plots and a dumb ending that comes from left field. Nothing is paid off and entire characters could be cut from the movie and lose nothing.

If you got something out of it, great, but I disagree that the film has any coherent theme or throughline other than "Mia Goth is pretty and good at acting"

decades-old skeletons aren't really what the "you can't pay $ for organs" laws are there for. It's more for Peter Thiel.

npcdel

for what should be very obvious reasons, human body parts are generally not legally salable (obviously selling to a friend/local is fine), but there isn't an organ/skeleton market (thanks, Resurrectionists!)

There is at least one enchantment that taps (the 2U aura from Future Sight)

It's only a matter of time until we get "Pilot" upgrades like Baron Soontir Fel or Jek Porkins, which will totally change space combat. I wouldn't worry, there's a lot of depth just in units, upgrades and events.

Just for funsies: what's the difference between an enchantment and an artifact, mechanically? Other than cards that reference one type or the other, nothing. More Types =/= Better Than!

Dwight Howard (seven-foot-tall basketball player) said he grew 5 inches in the summer between his junior and senior year of high school, so he basically added as much mass as a full limb in 3 months. His mother said she could not sleep from the screams of his pain as his bones and flesh grew and extended.

Not a 100% parallel, but it is the sort of event you're describing happening to a human who could report symptoms.

It's so, so much better than Commander. I hate Commander, mostly because games go on for-freakin-ever. Twin Suns solves this by saying "Game's over when 1 person is out, highest life total wins" (with a 5-point heal for taking someone out), so you can't dilly-dally or turtle and play kingmaker - you have to actively try to win while not losing! It forces you to act rather than re-act, and that's great! Also games only take a half-hour for a four-player game, rather than all night.

npcdel

Same. Felt like I was being lobotomized, icepick through the eyeball.

Sad. I was hoping for a set of 25-health bases with no Epic actions but double-pip Aspects.
