I had a feeling so I looked it up; Nadu is the only card to be banned out of modern, legacy, and commander. Wild stuff

This. Sooooooooooooooo much this. Across every format too
Japanese Magic players always know how to cook with gas when it comes to Magic deckbuilding. This looks sick.

I’m making my way through @brandsanderson’s Stormlight Archive, and of course I love it and had to paint my favorite characters Shallan, Adolin and Kaladin (and their spren!). Hope I did them justice :)

I don't want to repost the awful stuff in that Chat GPT suicide case. But I will say that Chat GPT should be destroyed, financially and legally. The data centers should be disassembled and recycled. Sam Altman should go to prison.

I started magic recently (2023) with proxy-friendly edh, got into cedh, still my main thing, was interested in 1v1 formats quickly but couldn’t justify the cost just to *try* a new format. Pauper was just a couple months ago my bridge into 60-card magic and wow is it fun.
Been thinking a lot about Pauper and it's rise in popularity.

Pauper is essentially 2014 Modern before the time of metagame refinement, where you can see success with something you just love playing - it's the close to perfect for a competitive format (in my opinion).

If I can’t read unhinged takes from trans magic players here then what is this app even good for?

Yup, all this, the ubiquity of the yapping is the part of the scene that I miss the least after moving to Japan.
Yappin is fine!
Yapping every turn and having to point and show and plead and shake and defend every action is not.
I wanna play magic, not be held hostage for 80+ minutes, 6+ times.
I paid for a hotel and travel, I can just leave my cards out at home if I wanna get yapped at.
