Commander is kind of the perfect format for Brainstorm. It isn't difficult to find one extra mana to cast it due to the prevalence of ramp, and the average deck includes situational cards that are great to shuffle away. Might turn this into an EDHREC article at some point.

Pearl is generally better than Jet b/c it's better in the Boros aggro decks. It's also better in the Tolarian Academy decks because of Balance, which you'll splash for just about every time you have the option. Twister isn't even on the consideration list, not even a top 20 card. Power in name only!

I love playing Blood Moon decks because I get to spend like $200 on fetches and shocks and then crack my fetches almost exclusively to find basics.

My complete thoughts on a phenomenon I've dubbed "Never played through a standard rotation before hysteria." It seems to affect Pokemon players at a much higher rate than Magic players.

This is the problem with pokemon players I stg
I have never met a group of card game players more obsessed with rotation like 4 months and two set releases before it even happens

I wasn't a fan of Alchemy in the beginning, but recent Alchemy design has done a good job winning me over. My only gripe is that this could definitely be a paper card and it should be because I want to put to Rhinos into play soooo bad.

I don't think their utility is particularly relevant. There are lots of useful things that probably shouldn't exist. (Amazon's 2-day delivery, for example) I'm sure someone with drastically different expectations and needs could find themselves in a situation in which LLM output seems useful to them

Correllary: if you know you hate playing against something, speak up. Dont clam up in rule 0, then moralize about the cards you dont like during/after the game. No one is a bad person for playing a deck you dont like. Newer players dont always know what cards are considered miserable to face.

I liked alot of big IP at their peak. Sonic, Pokemon, Power Rangers, etc. But "they're a part of who I am"? Nah. If the creator of Pokemon was basically like "Lol, Black people don't deserve equality", you best believe I'd stop giving money to Pikachu immediately. Yall gotta be stronger than this.

If your party strategy is to let society get as bad as possible to show how bad the other party is, then you're just as complicit and just as necessary to be revamped from the ground up.
