Lackadaisy is pretty close though I think those cats act exactly like humans with no cat behaviors

Lol having played a lot of Euros this is some good satire. Exceptions to exceptions in parentheses.

Hmm, if this were legal, is it better than the original moxen in 40 and 60 card formats? I think it might be

Could have brought viashino into D&D. They were introduced in MTG in 1998 so could have been added for 3rd edition. I kinda wish they had pulled more of magic's original species into D&D earlier, there are some cool ones.

I know it's part of the joke here, but not a bad time to mention the pyramids weren't built by enslaved workers at all. It was likely dedicated domestic laborers working 3-4 hr days.

If you want to be sure to catch it next year, sub to the Canvas comm on toast.ooo!

Really liking the thematic and mechanical design of the frogs this set.

Also, I feel like the average cost for power and toughness is just really pushed this set. Last time I felt it was this much was Throne of Eldraine. I feel like Commons and Uncommons have hit another powercreep milestone.

Why 5 instances of Searxng? Do you get very different results with each? I pretty much always use the same one..

Sweet, I'll be placing pixels again this year to get us on the Canvas. I feel like we night have fewer active placers than last year but idk. We completed this size fairly early and last year and folks moved to other designs so I bet we can make the same size happen again As for location, we should probably pick a spot after the first hour or so to avoid immediately fighting with another comm

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking forward to these cards evoking little memories of Redwall from 15 years ago. Always loved the badgers and hares in that.

Yeah this seems incredibly pushed. I have a hunch this whole set will be a high power level.

I wonder whether we will be getting Salamandastron references with the badgers. Anybody read the published stories who can tell me?

As for the card, seems like a limited bomb, but I think the colored pips keep it from being standard playable.

Nice. Definitely down to work on the .zip logo again. We were pretty prominent last time, though if Mastodon gets involved, this year will be totally different

Wow one whole year huh. I appreciate having an excellent admin like you. Excited to see where Lemmy and .zip are in another year.

The pipe comic with Garfield was also likely referencing a famous Magritte painting.

The painting is a kind of play on self-reference

Meme-ception for sure

Definitely a huge overlap but mostly just because these are classic and great tropes from English-language literature. I doubt Dune was a major inspiration for WOT.

Aes Sedai - Bene - Moirai/Weird Sisters Moiraine is literally named after the Moirai

Paul/Rand are regular chosen ones with the foreign savior theme of Lawrence/Heart of Darkness added on for good measure

Power creep and all but I genuinely doubt this will see any play in the formats it's legal in. It's miles behind Ragavan on its own and the archetype this fits in is go wide aggro, which loses to the exact board wipes that deal perfectly with this army in a can type card. Playing three of these by turn two and pumping out three extra bodies EOT can win a game of modern but that is not always going to happen.

Yes it looks like it would but it will still never tap for 2.

This is actually cool to see. I definitely noticed the basics used in the Analyst matchups but didn't keep track of the others. Those Euro promos have got to be some of my favorite basics

I recommend pothos as well. Snake plant or some other can be as easy but I just like how leafy a pothos can be.
