I did heighten the phrasing for comedic purposes. I mean essayists like Lindsay Ellis ;)
I like Kess for her colors and the ability to recast the reanimator spells from the graveyard, but you’re right she has no builtin reanimation and she has the same weakness as the reanimator strategy, which is graveyard hate. Still I think I want to keep her as the commander.
Among my creatures I have some with immediate impact: Sphinx of Uthuun,Kederekt Leviathan, Sphinx of the Second Sun and arguably Brainstealer Dragon.
I could add Diluvian Primordial and Sepulchral Primordial though they’re only impactful later in the game. I was also thinking about Triplicate Titan and Ancient Stone Idol, because they are harder to remove. Also on the list is Nezahal, Primal Tide or Inkwell Leviathan.
Any other suggestions?
Sounds to me like a classic Reanimator strategy might just not be viable in a casual 4-player format. Maybe I need to lean more into the spellslinger side.
Do you have more examples of the type of disruption you would run in something like that? I was thinking of Sire of Insanity, but that’s almost a lock condition in a casual game and would probably upset a lot of players.
Yeah, I’m running all of the filter & loot I can, but that leaves little space for counter spells and other protection. I think squeezing in Swiftfoot Boots is a good idea because they stay on the board. Not sure about Whispersilk Cloak, because of the mana investment, but I guess I do save a lot of mana cheating the fatties in and unblockable is a neat addition.
I want to add that the box office income is simply one of the only objective metrics to compare the success of films.
But the original Ghost in the Shell is perfect! I just rewatched it this weekend and it still looks amazing! Why remake that?
I don’t think that holds true quite as much today as it did back when Voltaire said it. He was calling out authoritarian structures like the christian church if I remember correctly. While certainly still true in totalitarian systems like dictatorships, it’s a somewhat different situation in democracies for example. In a democracy you are generally allowed to criticize anyone. However, powerful entities like big corporations and the very rich might still abuse the system to sue you into oblivion.
Also this quote gets misused quite often by people who do not understand the difference between hate speech and criticism and by people who think being called out and criticized for their words is the same as being “not allowed to criticized” or silenced.

Not necessarily, it is likely that a tourist is just not used to these specific pathogens. While the people living there are used to them. So their immune system isn’t better per se just more adapted to the environment.
I do use a password manager. But not for my cash card pin, signal pin, bank app pin, windows logins, mobile phone pin, mobile phone code, …
I think I’m going to stay. I’ll try it for a few days or weeks. If I can get used to new interface, especially on mobile (jerboa currently) then I’m going to delete all my comments and posts on Reddit and delete my account. Going to use this as the final motivation to delete my Twitter and Facebook accounts as well. I’m not using them anymore anyway. I hope this is going to be the start of a bigger change around the internet away from these corporation owned sites.
He looks like the head of a serious faerie dust cartel.
