Just to be clear, you're going to argue that Jedi, and Lucas at the time, was NOT swayed by toy sales to make changes to Jedi's story. That Ewoks weren't made to sell toys.
Because that's the only thing I've insinuated.
Throw your Lotus into the ring!

They did, but they canceled the whole line after seeing how terribly the special performed. It turned out people didn't love a special that opened with 10 minutes of a conversation wookie conversation and no subtitles, or a perverted grandpa Wookie who used VR to masturbate.

Jace runs a city/planet (poorly), bonks his head and finds love while driving a tugboat.
Sarkhan goes insane. Saves a dragon by accident. Finds peace. Goes insane again and gets beaten up by an autistic person.
Dragon Daddy just wants to grill & wear a Hawaiian shirt. Justice for Sarkhan.

Arena might flavorful for pt 2, and it would allow your Diamond Weapon-esque creatures to take out opponent's things.
A Gaea card might also be a nice nod - Gift or Blessing - both fairly useful tricks.
Lastly, this card screams Hades to me.

I've made my first character for #outerworlds2, the descendent of RFK Jr., Rob Kennedy XXIV.
My very first dialogue choice let me choose the "dumb" option, saying that I was angry about scientists inventing equipment that gives me LESS brain damage.
This playthrough is going to be amazing.

Disclaimer: It's been a long time since I've seen this, so it could be terrible and I'm just misremembering.
However, I thought this was a really interesting new world with "superheroes," a good cast, and great pacing. Fun movie.

When I think of people who say "Commander SHOULD work this way," I think of Rick - the character ... not the card.
His arc loops and loops, as follows:
1. Sees working settlement
2. Forces way in
3. Doesn't follow rules
4. Settlement collapses
5. Hits the road
Don't let Rick in. #goodgatekeeping

Love this confirmation from Jesper. It's always been my favorite set for this reason. As a kid, I was kicked out of church for asking questions. When I was a teen, my friends had their D&D books burned by religious parents.
The Dark's representation of White wasn't confusing at all to me.

Considering playing Arena again for the first time in 6 months just because of the Power Cube. Genuinely haven't been excited to play until I heard about this ...
Still feels nerve-wracking though. Like I'm looking at the bottle after 6 months of glorious sobriety.

I know nothing about comics, but my brother used to collect them, and this guy does strike a chord. Like, he's irrationally cool-looking. And nothing about him from my adult brain agrees with that, so I know it has to be kid brain.
Like, what are those fins on his head for? Why is he in a costume?

This argument regarding hybrid mana cards is nonsensical.
99% of players aren't playing cedh. Mono-colored decks have literal 1,000s of options to make your 99. And there are already great reasons to do so: cost, mana, flavor.
Blinging out a mono-color deck is easier, cheaper, and So Much Fun.

Case in point, let's look at MKM vs Last Airbender. MKM - packs with 2 rares 37% of the time vs ALA's 27%. 3 rares 4% of the time vs ALA's 2%, and 4 rare packs being both at less than 1%.
The kicker is that MKM's play booster packs are remarkably cheaper than ALA's. $3 vs $6.50.

One of the Secret Lair drops is for the old heads - I played these cards quite often in 1996.
And Kieran Yanner is such a good artist - their Icingdeath is one of my faves - a stunning foil in-person.
I have no heart to sit in a queue (plus ... I work), but I figured I'd highlight a good one.

The "burden of proof must be placed on the authority."
Yet, when people question WotC/Hasbro, does MaRo offer any "proof?" Or does he just say "every metric is stellar!"
How can a company enforcer be trusted to judge the company's own processes?
