Im not a fan of tiebreakers. If players have the same score at the end of a game they should all win or nobody wins. Adding extra rules for tie breakers makes wins feel disingenuous

Cards vary based on where they were printed, each country has different requirements for what is and isnt allowed and this effects cardstock quality, mtg is the only l tcg to have had such consistently bad quality ( that I know of) this started in 2016 with curled Foils and has only gotten worse

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Awaken Realms forgot to hide their AI again. They boast how many artists they have on staff then just force them to pump out generative nonsense in the name of efficiency above all else. Yet won't even own up to it when pressed. There's no art in it, just content. Another publisher on my blacklist.
