No worries! The added wrinkle the League part adds to this format makes it a little tough to translate for people familiar with standard Domain rules.

The rule for Domain League is that the DM grants its domain to all monsters in the deck. Since Extra Joker becomes a tri-beast under Nerval's domain, it's eligible to be cheated out with Nerval's effect.

The Tri-Brigades are fun DMs, because they can cheat out just about any link monster, meaning no link is a dead draft. So far, the funniest Tri-Brigade boss monsters in the cube are World Gears of Theological Demiurgy and Arcana Extra Joker.

This cube is so close to being ready to draft for real. I'm really excited.

This is my favorite deck I've arena drafted from my domain league cube yet.

The deck revolves around Swap Frog's Aqua domain giving it the ability to bin any LV1/2 monster, so it can mill a monster with GY utility to match almost any Therion it opens with, unlocking every other Therion in the deck.

A row of almost every Therion monster, followed by a row of dinky monsters that match their type: Sinister Serpent, Ronitoadin, Re-Cover, Spore, and Quilbolt Hedgehog.
On the bottom is a series of ED monsters the deck can summon, including Adamancipator Risen Dragite, Gacchi Gacchi Gantetsu, Onibimaru and Link Eria

I think both of these terms are the stones thrown at revisionism by people who live in glass houses. Historical and theoretical revisionism are both problems in left spaces, but "tankie" and "anarkiddie" are the weapons of people who haven't even read enough history or theory to be revisionist.

I've never had the flavor of something overcome such a dramatic smell L.

This substance performs an almost magical feat by tasting very good, despite smelling uncannily similar to an in-use urinal cake.

Hate it when the brain and body conspire against me. You're strong, and I believe in you!

And unlike every other card in the format I've heard people say should be banned (e.g. FuFu, Oppression, Brio) this card enables no cool combos or plays, has no innate punishes, and can't be outed reliably. It subtracts a ton of gameplay and adds none back in return.

There is ONE(1) card I think Edison would be better without, and it's this one.

The fact that this is the most man-coded thing I've done in years was only mildly undermined by the fact that I was in my bridesmaid's makeup and had freshly shaven legs.

After a verrrry long wedding day yesterday I spent my afternoon today with the couple in the sun and breeze chatting and extracting the last of an incredible pilsner out of this keg, and the vibes were immaculate.

No I genuinely love it. It's very emblematic of the deck. Just like how the Dragoon decks were very often Dragoon feat. Dragoon.

Just did the math to learn that One Piece has a roughly comparable number of pages to the entire Cosmere.

i love the new card design trend of
"dark knights with black armor and red decals and green accents that have light blue/gray-ish hair and look like they're about a week away from realizing that they're women"
PLEASE keep printing more konami they're so gender

Thank you for birthing days. Things would suck a little more if it was always night.
