(is $HOME/.secret a convention? That sounds cool - where do I learn more?)

Unwilling to even take turns with himself. What an amazingly stupid ego

I was thinking of this Escher self portrait

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_with_Reflecting_Sphere

"Banach-Tarski" can be anagrammed into "Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski"

It counts as granting an ability, so it would shut down your opponent's [[Muraganda Petroglyphs]]

"all creatures have Changeling" is also (almost) completely useless rules text. In layers, by the time you're granting abilities to creatures you've blown past the step which lets you modify creature types.

Gross (congratulatory).

I feel like deducing the prior loop of a time travel story is hard. This seems plausible, but I feel like anything other than authorial word of God can only be speculation.

On the other hand, this theory makes me want to watch the movie again, so it's a great theory and I will enjoy mulling it over a lot

I like this, thank you for thinking this through

Or just keep staring at your phone. If someone is concerned you can see them, walking around them for no reason is a dead giveaway. Better to keep your eyes directly focused on an innocuous object so they don't linger where it might be a bad idea to linger.

Bump into a dude and mutter an apology - he will be confident you didn't see him.

Walk through a dude and gawk at him? You lose. Stare at your phone like your life depends on it

Yeah, but it's not just a source, but a specific abiliťy of that source.

And even that ability could also be phrased "add {C} or one mana of any color"

Por que no los dos?

[[Blasphemous Act]] + [[Boros Reckoner]]

Ah. The classic Red solution to Enchantments

Nah. I'm specifically wrong. You are specifically right. I was just having fun by making up a bullshit English rule.

Yeah, that's the actual correct grammar. I'm being sarcastic above (that's what I meant with /s). I made it up to be a little silly.

/s up front, because this tastes so stupid. But like, English totally would totally have a bullshit rule like:

Naw - it's not multiple millions - it's a single million. No more, no fewer (remember - we're counting, not measuring). You use the singular here, because it is exactly a single million ways.

Yeah - the card (as written) is flawed in that way. It needs to be fixed and rephrased in order to work the same way storm count does (which might be technically impossible while still using counters - the true storm count doesn't reset even during the cleanup phase(s))

Kiki-jiki was originally printed with "... Sacrifice it at end of turn"

https://scryfall.com/card/chk/175/kiki-jiki-mirror-breaker

513.1a: Previously, abilities that triggered at the beginning of the end step were printed with the trigger condition "at end of turn." Cards that were printed with that text have received errata in the Oracle card reference to say "at the beginning of the end step" or "at the beginning of the next end step."

American components, Russian components, all made in Taiwan!

I think a really good example is a fan comic of Joker's deep planning. It really tries to show Joker's planning mind.

A sphere tiled by hexagons will always require 12 pentagons (start with a d20/icosohedron and cut each corner tip off. The triangles become hexagons, and the cut tips are pentagons. Color the pentagons black and you have a familiar soccer ball pattern. You can now subdivided the hexagons as much as you like. The pentagons can likewise subdivide into a pentagon surrounded by 5 hexagons)

I thought I saw you intentionally cut a pentagon in half, but it's even cooler that two just show up accidentally in your design from just the cuts you have. Look for where your pattern has a seam that brings two not-neighboring-while-flat hexagons together. They end up surrounding two half-pentagons in the pokeball sphere.

It's amazing. I read your comment, then jumped into the video at 6:56 where he says this exact thing. It was really cool to get the "Surprise!" for exactly this, out of his own mouth within a few seconds of seeing his face.

I killed a White/Blue opponent with [[Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger]] on Arena. He had a full hand and had just resolved a bunch of hand manipulation to drop a flash blocker.

And the preceding line was approximately "do you know what we call flying soldiers on the battlefield?"

There is no Antimemetics Division! Great story!

If you haven't stumbled over Valuable Humans in Transit yet, you should know that my phone considers "Humans in", then "Transit" to be the proper autocomplete to "Valuable"
