Those probably don't work as well, since IGS is already so mana intensive, and Threefold Signal literally doesn't work for it. Though copying triggered abilities might work.

Ramping up to Guidelight Station is important. You can also put the card draw effect to good use with Kydele and Arbor Adherent. Saheeli making a token copy of the IGS is also good if you want a burst of tokens.

As someone who has no investment in what's going on and has not seen what's going on beyond this singular post, I'm reminded on this image I saved recently.

Cleffa, my D&D Character Snowy Thompson, Rainbow Dash, and WH40K AU Miss Frizzle. It's... strange, to say the least. Going to save the day with the power of friendship, and gratuitous violence.

A post by someone with the handle "@chalicerae" in which they state "I wish Cleffa was real I want to feed it mashed sweet potato" followed by a slightly pixelated digitally drawn image of the Pokemon Cleffa. There is a random assortment of g/b/p above Cleffa, presumably representing baby noises. There is a small mess of pixels around it's mouth representing food, and off to the right is an artistic rendition of a spoon filled with the mashed sweet potato.

A strong looking Horse-Person knelt down. He wields a bow, holding it above his head. The drawstring of the bow is pulled tight, and behind the figure of the Horseman is a quiver and arrows spilling out.

An artistic rendition of Miss Frizzle of the children's educational television show "The Magic School Bus" wearing armor of The Adeptus Sororitas, often better known as the Sisters of Battle from the Warhammer 40k franchise. In her right hand is a chainsword, a motorized sword with a rotary chainsaw blade, and in her other hand is a well-known AI creation. In the background is a scene of intense conflict as other AI creations in silhouette are assailed and eliminated. In the foreground is a modern day smart phone recording the scene to a digital audience who are commenting on the scene.

Hellscube has some really high-quality joke cards, all for bespoke custom Cubes. Someone, or maybe it was a group of folks I'm unsure, did a cool cycle of Ultimate Wizard Nonsense with really cool full-art cards with funny or unique ways of winning the game for a lot of mana.

A card created for the Hellscube format, a silly community format of custom cards.

The card depicts a skeletal master of the arcane arts leaning in and a bomey finger outstretched and pointed at you, the viewer.

The text on the card reads "GO BACK IN TIME AND KILL YOUR OPPONENT AS A BABY" and is a Sorcery for 9 generic mana, 2 purple pips and 3 black pips.

The card effect is as follows: Restart the game, except target opponent starts at 1 life, and you have a gun.

There is rules text explaining what having a gun means: You have +1/+1 and reach. You can attack as though you were a creature.

I think there's a quote from hit game Disco Elysium that reflects this sentiment.

Further down the article, it lists the Legislation put in place to reinforce the Embargo, including the Helms-Burton Act, which puts foreign companies at legal risk for trading with Cuba. (Wanted to change "Countries" to "companies")

A cursory examination of the Wikipedia article seems to disagree with this assessment. Unless you have done other source to back up your assertion, perhaps it's best to continue under the understanding that Cuba's suffering is directly caused by USA intervention.

That's one of the few definitions "Incoherent" has, sure. That's not the definition I was using when I said it.

Having just listened to the Podcast, and you and Woolie were kinda surprised that MTG had yet to come out with any Monster Hunter themed cards. The answer as to why is: They were going to, but messed up the printing. Or, that's the assumption, given that one of the cards is named wrong.

Two Magic: The Gathering cards from the Monster Hunter-themed secret Lair drop that was cancelled. The left card is a reprint of Imperial Recruiter, Reskinned as "Bherna Huntmaster" in spiky red armor. The right side card is a mistakenly named "Champion of Kotoko" a Reskin of the card Champion of Lambholt, blocking an explosion in scaled green armor.

I also have a couple of pieces of a few other characters. The two horned humans are the same guy, from the same world as Sage, just later in the timeline. (I did the analog piece, but not the digital one. Can't recall) The Horse Man is a D&D character named "Snowy Thompson". (Art from "LittleNoko")

Every time you see my Pfp you see one. The analog drawing is a bit I did because I hadn't drawn him out before, and the digital piece was the person (Morgi) I commissioned using the analog piece as guidance.

I dunno. I saw someone say "Everypony" and when I joked about their language being non-inclusive of Yaks, they proceeded to be oblivious to their existence. I think that's pretty funny.

Sion Bloodwalker. (Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children) He's got a very bubbly personality, is very passionate about his job despite the effort required to do it. He's also a hungry boy.

My favorite Pokemon is probably Torterra/Turtwig. The design is interesting, and the typing is decent. The only issue I have is that his stats are really bad and his generation was starved for Fire Types, making Infernape better even though he was the second in a long line of Fire/Fighting starters.

I was curious about my own playlist and how many songs I have that might qualify for this. Out of a 1000+ songs, I scrolled by, like, 6 that I would be willing to say were my favorites that start with H. Which is interesting. Makes me wonder what the least populous starting letter is.

I am two different kinds of niche nerd. The kinda fella who likes mashing together unconventional tastes. The left is Deltarune portraits done in the style of Disco Elysium, representing things I enjoy online. The right is an official Magic: The Gathering playing card, something I own Irl.

Shionne from Tales of Arise is probably my favorite. I can't really think of many other pink characters. Like, Princess Peach, and then April May from Ace Attorney, and then the chef from Trés Bien from Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations.

I don't think I'm familiar with that fellow. Personally, I don't tend to think fondly of most antagonists, as I don't sympathize with their choice to do bad. But, I think Carter from "Troubleshooters: Abandoned Children" comes close. I can follow every step, and see how he chooses wrong.

I know you mean this in a very broad sort of way, and you probably acknowledge that on an individual basis there may be instances of artists engaging in commentary in regards to their art, but this is just sorta a funny bit of juxtaposition.

Built 2 decks of VRoyale. Despite the limited card pool, I do like the archetypes the game is pushing for. I hope they make a more comprehensive rule book.

Snowy "Ice Cube" Thompson @snowythompson.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

I opened up some packs of a card game called VRoyale this evening, and I'm interested in playing. The rules seem relatively simple and similar to my preferred card game, Magic: The Gathering. My only concern is that I don't know how damage is actually handled. Does it heal like in MTG? I don't know.

I can't believe it, Bunlith has secretly been Crash Bandicoot this whole time! What a coincidence, huh.
