Him/Her and very Autism.

I'm very tired. Mostly Magic: the Gathering content. Sometimes writing stuff. Sometimes it is 1 AM and I am at work and on break. Generally chaotic and about my current special interest.
What about a white pen that writes in gold?

Every Generation of people in fandom forgets the previous generation in fandom still saw the wildest shit.

...Which is why Tappy starting with a Dante metaphor is fucking hilarious since that's basically just bible fanfic.

So you do want "just one more thing" in your work day.

If its a content creator, doing a content, and you would like to contribute. Not weird.

If its someone asking help or advice, and you have a valid skillset or experience to help. Not weird.

If you're a content creator, doing a content, for content reasons. Not weird.

Anything else: Little weird.

It's not even Caturday, she should figure out this work-life balance thing.

Does anyone know how to write "Mommy, sorry" in phyrexian.

I ask for no reason in particular.

"Professionally Noodles on the Internet" would look good on a business card.

They aren't bad, but they are unplayable. The decks that have the cleanest consistency to access them aren't legally allowed to play them in Commander. Which means on the 3-4 pip deep cards, the environment best suited for them is monocolor, or 2c on both colors.

2c off one, and 3+ won't want it.

Something along those lines, looking at cards with varying pip density (but hopefully overall similar effects and mana values) and then breaking them into pie graphs of how many colors the deck has.

If you plot for overall popularity it'll always trend lower pip because you're including all decks.

They are bad examples because one of them is a Gamechanger and also a 25 dollar card and broken beyond reason. But if you looked at inclusion rates for 4B, 3BB, 2BBB, and 1BBBB cards in black+ decks, they'd trend toward 1-2 color decks, away from 3-5 decks as you add pip intensity.

Somewhat what I meant. I'm not- asking you to do more work on this, but looking at the rates of 2, 3, and 4 pip deep cards in monocolor to see how they scale down in appearance in higher color decks.

The difference between (bad datapoints but off my dome) Phyrexian Arena and Necropotence inclusion.
