Why is the taxpayer-funded Antisemitism Envoy worried about Australians forming a negative impression of Israel's conduct in Gaza? Why is she floating censorship boards to screen stories about Israel?

"Kill the cop in your head", needs the addition, "and also the racist". For the UK & it's imperial throw offs, this needs further expansion to "the colonialist". Unlearning habits of authoritarianism and oppression is slow but essential self-work.

Yeah, but have you considered that it increases my game actions by, like, 3-4 per game? Occasionally I also like to have one card that can recur them from the graveyard. It's a once a year treat! (Statistically speaking). 😆

Remember when Israel wouldn't let the aid agencies distribute food and aid to the refugee camps in Gaza and made them come to the trucks and line up? And then they used them for target practice. I guess the balance for that would be footage of them not being shot at. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9XN...

Eh, not quite. Some of the 40k timeline stuff, yes. But the 30k works, particularly the Siege of Terra & new Ashes book, go to lengths to depict how it is the Imperium itself which actively chooses to pursue fascism (moreso), thereby resuscitating the Chaos gods & condemning themselves.

Had this experience with 1st time newly upgraded Quint & Dina decks. The latter was expected b3, but the former took me (& the table) completely by surprise for its recovery potential (even with nearly 1/2 the deck exiled it still reclaimed archenemy status before being clinched on the cusp!).

And sometimes you need a table to help you road test a deck to really see how it holds up with friction; or blasts through it. Initial drafts can be deceptively strong and weak before you experience the play patterns live. But once you have that sense for a deck, you gotta come clean on it pregame!
