Dude, I saw this story yesterday and immediately thought, "Damn, if Sully deserved a movie for landing his plane, I think this man deserves a trilogy for getting everyone home safe."

I mean clearly the MTG playing Dropout folks need to bully Sam until this happens.

There are cinematics explaining where they came from, I think it comes during like midway through the Expansion. I am not positive though, I tried Dragon Flight but was too burned out from Shadowlands so I quit pretty early

Lore wise, they were Deathwing's secret army that has been asleep since he got beat way back when. Actual wise, an addition during Dragon Flight because wheeee Dragons!

I really love noun town on Steam. It forces you to take it slow early on, learning single words at a time, and then gets you up to sentences and conversations pretty quickly

I always enjoyed Tappy, and now I know it is because she also knows that Empire Records is a great comfort movie

It feels too close to the old Decipher Star Trek TCG. I had already expected to not vibe with the set though, so I am happy that others love it

Yeah thinking about it, I can't imagine the license for the crappy AI programs they would be using could be less than they would pay an Ashlizzle, or an Amy, or a Jim, or a Dana Fisher who are all on Arena pretty much every day

Yeah, like Daniel said it is a complicated one to manage. It's almost like there should be several people working on it, some kind of panel, or committee of people who have different ideas and goals for the format to come to some kind of agreement. Sad there is nothing to base that on...

Oh god, now I desperately need a D20 UB/UW crossover. Burrow's End folks on Bloomburrow. Misfit and Magic kids go to Strixhaven. Never Stop Blowing Up folks join the Aetherdrift races. Coffin Run on Inistrad. Hell, Titan Takedown on Theros. WotC, please make it happen

I mean Wil, I think you and I are both required to love NASA as they share our birthday. That being said, I had the same realization. Watching the stream of the transition behind the moon yesterday filled me with a sense of joy that I had forgotten from childhood

Yes, he died because he is Ajani's brother, as in, Ajani comes in with his brother, needs to transform, and so his brother simply has to die

The first year I spent with my Korean wife's family for Thanksgiving, my now Mother in Law was so worried I wouldn't like any of the Korean food she had made that she panic made a salad and bought Costco sized Blue Cheese and Ranch dressings for just me. I was honestly really touched :)

And also, @calebdmtg.bsky.social , are you really prepared to go after @ifycomedy.com for this? I am pretty sure his frequent discussion of the topic will likely make him a difficult figure to topple. And baseball won't save you. @jacquisneal.bsky.social already argued he was pretty good at that

I was radicalized by a kind elderly Presbyterian minister in a brightly colored cardigan who played with puppets and told me that people could like me exactly as I am and that everyone is different and that's great and we should like them exactly as THEY are.

And if you have 3-4 friends with enough time and interest, that is great, but I think that is a bit of a tough sell for many folks. In the end, I am happy for you that this set looks great for you. I think that the small UB sets are not great, but I would be happy to be proven wrong

I would say sealed is a reasonable on ramp, but draft still feels wild to me as a way to get someone in. You would need to set up a draft pod of new people so that they could all ask questions in draft and deck build. At least in sealed it is just the deck build

Deathofspam @quixoticmonkey.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
So, to point 1, Pokemon has had that model from the start, and doesn't ever tell a story with it's cards and sets, so I don't find that a valid comparison. Okay, but draft is a bad way to onramp anyone, so they likely won't draft until some sets down the line, while folks playing this will feel it

Deathofspam @quixoticmonkey.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
Pick 2 isn't inherently the problem. I think it's use on Ben Bateman's show shows that it can lead to fun drafts. The issue is that the sets are designed with fewer archetypes leading things to feel same-y while also having designs that are hard to parse because so many of the cards look the same
200 2
Deathofspam @quixoticmonkey.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
Yes, so they have more flexibility in what you can do with them. This is also largely off the original point of the issue with these small sets that are designed around 4 player draft. A jumpstart set as standard likely wouldn't work either, but we don't put them in standard.

Deathofspam @quixoticmonkey.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
Sure, but it was a supplemental set. Again, compare it to Jump Start, not to any current set. And P3K did give you a feel for the world it was set in. Was horsemanship good? No, but it was great flavor to get the same thing through

Deathofspam @quixoticmonkey.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
Yes, but that was not a standard set either. I had originally had a mention of portal, but apparently lost it when I was making the separate posts, but even P3K pulled off being a set better than Spiderman did. I think Portal could more be compared to Jumpstart, in which case, Jumpstart all day

The cards for TMNT look fun, but it doesn't feel like a set. It feels like it would have been far more suited to being a Commander product or something of the sort. It is just stretched too thin over what they were given to work with

Deathofspam @quixoticmonkey.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
I think Avatar did better with the multiple copies of a few characters because they were all from different times, and so could really represent that. The Spiderman and Turtles ones are harder to do that for. It's not that the set itself doesn't work.
