As somebody who spiralled really badly into bipolar last year due to leaning on LLMs to cope with grief, seconding this. LLMs should be treated by therapists like a client having mild substance use+making a shaky new friend- not necessarily a guaranteed spiral, but needing serious assessment

Or maybe find a way to bring on some fans/friends to help share the work? Your problem is you're bleeding yourself dry to try to share what you love as content. It may be best to like, curate/endorse fan content or the like for a stretch. The pasta cookoffs were brilliant, tho they chewed you up too

Honestly, buddy, I would recommend that you take a year to go for some back to basics fundamentals. You burnt yourself up hard on the end sprint for Mortasheen in the past year-Maybe just take some time down to just like, adventure and write some sort of character blog as a diary of something?

I really just want to see the neutral Dem stance on Trans Rights to be "how does this actually fucking affect you?" to any of the bigots going off about it. Reframe conservatives as the shrill pearl clutchers who want to control people, show their true colors

House MD and Heroes were the two big casualties of the writer's strike- if they coulda maintained their pre-strike quality for their full run, they would be Breaking Bad level legends, instead of just fondly remembered widgets

P sure lizard ping swingers is the answer to any Planeswalker problems for a while, unless you're talking Jace combo. Just the three mana rocker lizard and all his buddies and a disrespectful amount of burn.

With a name like that, Stephanie Sneed clearly escaped from being a bit part character in a Roald Dahl book.

Hey, you're forgetting "specific 45 cent card that is good with one commander printed six years ago, but has never been printed in foil except as a promo in New Zealand so all the secret lair value articles need to say it's a $200 foil"

I will never forgive them getting rid of the cartographer vampire. I was *so fucking excited* to see what she would do on Thunder Junction :( or teaming up with Zimone to map the mirror verse! So much they could have done :(

I liked a lot of what they did at Common. The rest of the set was honestly pretty uninteresting- felt like an old core set, and not in a good way. C, dead center

This has got to be it- demographically, it's just... Not a thing that statistically has enough presence to significantly alter hiring. This (and the oddly specific prostitution rules) feel like somebody wealthy wanted a favor and they're adjusting qualifications on the fly

I'm really struggling to understand that. Like, unless there is some John Wick style Donkey Show secret society, what is the numbers on that? Maybe 3,000 people total in the entire country, being generous? That grows the FBI recruitment pool by .001%? Maybe they're scouting David Cameron?

Nah, they're both better than Magus of the Wheel, because you don't get throat punched by the four color player the moment you say "I tap 2R and play Magus of the- Hrk!"

Tbh, the Red one would be fixed if they just gave it a nasty ward cost, because there is also the politics of other people at the table wanting it left alive. But as is, he is the softest boy to removal.

flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
For my build, yeah, primarily due to ease of rebuying creatures. The Red one *is* innately repeatable, so like, I could see some kind of weird group hug/chaos deck preferring it, but usually, decks like that aren't exactly assessing cards based on raw power.

I wouldn't put her top 10 for saltiest mono black commanders. Maybe top 50, but like... As long as you're not using her as part of a Dictate of Erebos style lock, should be okay.

flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
You want instant speed hand dumping options, so the window is super tight. Still risky, but the right deck would be okay- I know my Grixis phoenix list would be pretty okay with it, because half the deck plays from the yard anyways

Ironically, *both* are kinda bad in Nekusar. One is optional draw so it's 6 Mana for just you wheel, and the other requires surviving around the table while you only have one card in hand, cuz nobody else is gonna be heck bent

flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Yeah, seconding this. One is "if your hand is shit, everybody ships". The other is "whenever you want, everybody who wants gets to refill". Not saying forcing the guy with a grip of 20 cards to ditch his hand is *common*, but I would say it comes up about every 4 or 5 games or so

Jace didn't actually need to sacrifice himself, he was just ducking the consequences of "For the Man Who Has Everything"ing the angriest man in the multiverse

If you hate AI, you better be able to reliably turn out C, maybe C+ level is of work! I don't know a single AI bro who can reliably hit those benchmarks, and they are shitting themselves over the next Gen models that consume twice as much to sometimes hit B-!

The problem is that they found the back door into the American psyche: "You're an individualist if you believe this propaganda" is a fuckin cheat code

I feel like Kirk wouldn't be a chaser, but more the Li Shang situation where it's like "oh thank God the guy I was eyefucking was a chick and I don't have to come out as pan" while meanwhile, the lower decks has a betting pool on how long til Kirk comes out

Does the other qualifier mean other than the cast creature spell or other than itself? I'm guessing the latter, which is disappointing (since the former would just be clarification that you can't flicker the spell, duh)

There is the caveat that Voltron decks do like to bully last place, but that's an inherent structural flaw to Voltron decks being bad. Most Voltron builds kind of angle for 3rd, because they either kill last place or the archenemy then get Punked on the crackback
