 Revealed just days ago, it sounds like we're not talking about a Magic: Online-esque game but a full fledged RPG. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/06/10/magic-the-gathering-rpg-announced/I've been critical of the game's direction for a few years now, but this just seems like a good idea. Unfortunately it's going to be in the free-to-play market, so quality may end up being lackluster, but it will still be a cool playthrough the first time. Who knows, maybe they'll surprise us.

because it'd be pretty broken if he could turn into superman or something and steamroll the bad guy of the week
anyone remember how beast boy is a prince because he was adopted by an african king? yeah, neither does anyone else
Well duh but eventually everyone has a storyline where they unlock their fullest powers and ascend to godhood. Even Batman and he didn't have any powers in the first place.

You're all wrong.
Exactly
Yawgy affects more change than anything
Save Urza.
Their legacies are still locked in immortal combat.
Yea tru
Yawgy tried to Borg everyone, but Urza almost blew up the multiverse.
And Karn > Phyrexians
I'll start buying cards again if there's ever another Un block or when they get over all this big five bullshit and return to New Phyrexia. Battle for Zendikar disappointed me. Shadows over Innistrad bored me. Nothing has been worth reading since KTK, Fate and Dragons were droll, and even before that the whole Theros block was lame as hell. I don't know who writes this shit now but it's seriously getting flaccid.

beast boy's powers always raised a lot of questions for me
questions where the answer is always "don't think about it"
He's a psychosomatically crippled shapeshifter. Kind of like Cyclops from X-men has the same powers as his brother Havoc, but can only fire beams from his eyes due to a mental lock he placed on his own powers. Beast Boy could theoretically alter his form down to the atomic level, but is limited by what he believes he can do. That's why he can't turn into non-human sapient creatures, but has no trouble mimicking an alien beast. Superman had to overcome something similar. There was a time when he would suffocate in space, but he overcame that mental limitation and realized he didn't need oxygen. It's actually a very common thing among superheroes that they set their own boundaries subconsciously and struggle to overcome them. But for some reason Beast Boy's arc never takes him there.

An exotic rocket launcher called the frogblaster, and when you shoot a well hidden structure in a secret location with it resembling a vent core, you get a secret achievement.
Any other degree of failure would be acceptable if this happens.

Some may say the only true contentedness, the only true enlightenment, comes with death.
If that is the path one must walk, then that is the path one must walk.
Accept there is no meaning.
There is only desire, and contentedness.
Only once you have become content will you know peace.

They're not wrong though
Even if she meant it literally, that she wanted all her money to disappear live a completely normal life, there would be NOTHING wrong with that. Boo hoo, you're not rich. That doesn't give every rich person an obligation to stay rich.
Literally the same logic I'd use to be "against" FtM trans people, except even I can recognize that the disdain there is illogical and rooted in emotion. Which, surprise, is the same as the anti-wealth sentiment.
People who desire wealth but lack the drive to acquire it don't appreciate what they have.
People who have wealth but desire to be common don't appreciate what they have.
Both types of people are shallow.
Are FtM trans people shallow? Are MtF trans people shallow? Is someone who has a mutiliation fetish and cuts off the tip of their finger shallow? Is a man who gives up his possessions to live in the wild shallow?
People giving up things that are considered desirable by society or sects of society aren't shallow. She doesn't appreciate what she has? Why the fuck should she, if what she has is considered negative by HER??
God you've become so dumb
Everyone is shallow. It's one of the traits that set humans apart from animals. We refuse to be grateful for what we have. We are shallow. Separate yourself from possession and desire, and close yourself to jealousy and greed. Do not want what is beyond your grasp. You will gain only pain. If you expose yourself to peril, make it count. Toil for an attainable goal, so that your pain births joy. Do not mourn for the loss of a limb. You have already lost the limb, let the pain end there. Embrace your disfigurement and seek to overcome it. Do not subject yourself to wanton woe and fail to bear fruit from it. Depth comes from understanding. Shallowness comes from fruitless woe. So to answer your questions: not, anymore. Because they address their own malcontent. Before they address it, they are without depth. They are merely a thin layer of grey malcontent adhering to the surface of a well filled with something colorful and wonderful in its own right. The lesson is this: learn to appreciate what you have or do something to change it, because if not you will never find peace.

MTG is a seriously dope game.
Been a long time since I played or bought cards tho.
Good decision, bans are frequent and mostly based on too many people playing a deck
ikr that's why I quit modern to play standard for a few years, then I stopped playing altogether because playing standard is more expensive than playing Modern. I'm telling you, they're gonna ban all the cards that make the game interesting and everyone is just gonna play Junk. I played a ton of EDH and Legacy non-competitively, but then somebody came up with competitive EDH and the modern faggots started playing that too. One FNM we were having our monthly Commander night, which had become the only night I even came anymore, and this shit happens. We played in groups of five to keep it interesting. An old friend of mine had become judge in the months prior, and EDH night was his night to play, because it was more relaxed, so we set something cool up. We planned to play Pentagon EDH, me as mono-white, him as mono-black, and three of our other friends, but our blue guy bails on us. Luckily, this guy who started coming to our shop earlier that month had a mono-blue Commander. So Black already doesn't like this guy, apparently he's a real modern faggot, plays some shitty cheap ass version of Death and Taxes. Our friend who's playing an elf Commander does something this cat doesn't like, and instead of asking 'can I read that?' like you should during casual games when you're not sure of something, he turns to Black and says with minor franticism 'Judge! can Green do that?!?' Black literally facepalms, declares the move legal (it was anyway) and then it's my turn. I looked around the table, then around the store. I realized it was everyone playing callously, coldly, and aggressively. This was EDH! The last sanctuary of casual kitchen table play in a card shop! It didn't seem to matter anymore now that French Commander was a thing. Blue impatiently asks me, 'You gonna go?' I look back to him and with melancholy say, 'No' I quietly scooped, walked out to my car, drove away, and never came back.

Wait, was The Mummy really all that popular beforehand? I watched the original and I honestly thought it was just "Meh".
Absolutely. The '32 and '99 versions are cult classics.

When people confuse objective with subjective, drink.
the people who you think do this don't actually do this
the people who you don't think do this actually do it
I concur people who use objective as an affirmation for their point do so hyperbolically people who use objective to qualify something as absolute likely don't understand the nature of booleans

Maybe from face value the SJWs would have a point, but ffs there's some heavy context and a lot of additional material to this fucking case. I honestly don't believe she wants to know what it's like to be normal, I think she just appeals to the sentiment on the basis that she's sick of her ostentatious family. That's not a desire to have been like everyone else, it's a desire to distance yourself from a poisonous element in your life. That's an understandable sentiment, but she misrepresents it to herself, and fools herself, or in the very least everyone else, into believing she wants to be normal, and in a way that is a little shallow.
The truth of this is somewhere in the middle of what is presented, what the right thinks, and what the left says.

He was the only somewhat-okay thing about the movie and even then it was mediocre. I think he did the best he could with what he was given. This was just a flop waiting to happen regardless of who the lead was.
And the thing is, with all the terrible decisions the studio made, having Tom Cruise was the smartest thing they could have done. "Muh foreign market!"
Looks like Tom Cruise really fucked Brendan's franchise up. It's a meme don't overthink it.

Entertainment media masquerading as news.
That lithomancer is my property and I demand you stop using her as your avatar.
False
SFM is the property of all legacy players
t. butthurt Modern player
You think Legacy is your ally?
I was born in Dominaria.
Molded by it.
I didn't see the Mending until I was already a man, and by then, it was nothing but blinding.
And now it's a wasteland, just like Legacy
it's like pottery
I legit know someone who wants to be a pro tier legacy player and he's the biggest loser I have ever met.

Key difference is that while a show like Breaking Bad might employ violence to further the plot/characters, it's never glorified or glamorized. The violence is always presented in a negative light.
Your avatar straight up romanticized graphic violence against the president. Apples and oranges.
i mean i explained rather plainly how it didn't, and nobody disagreed but you
lmao is the fallacy crusader literally trying to say might makes right
...no?
"might makes right" is probably the dumbest aphorism in the entire book
the argument that you THINK i'm making is actually an argumentum ad populum, appeal to majority
but i'm not arguing from that, i'm simply pointing out that the majority of people disagree with you
Might makes right is argumentum ad populum, just worded in a less pretentious way. And you literally just made that argument lmao, "pointing out" something is making an argument.
Again, why does it matter if I'm disagreed with? That has no bearing on the truth.
You are both wrong. Be done with this drivel there is MTG to be talked about.

LMAO at this poll being 3-1, really shows how unintelligent sep7 really is
Let me answer the poll for anyone not paying attention or just dumb: People drive the news. The larger society does. And when you have one medium that reaches 214 million people every night for four hours, and another that reaches 64 million for one hour, one is going to be far more influential.
Maverick agreeing with you shows that you're wrong. No shame in that.

What is an "Average American"? What, am I Chinese spy? An Indian business man?
I work, pay taxes, go to school, live a mundane life, I think that's pretty average.
You react this way every time somebody says this, and every time you're surprised again. "I work, pay my taxes, play with toys, buy multitudes of overpriced anime box sets, and cross dress. I think that's pretty average."

Interesting, I thought they were still pushing the Russia thing.
Political analysts agree that it was Trump's constant and dominating presence in newsmedia that allowed him to win. The news says that, not anyone who bases their findings on fact.
Oh hey look, an example of my point.
Thanks Ian.
Ian is not an average American.
Notice how I didn't cite a single person agreeing with me ITT as "proving my point'
1. The single person. 2.Ian did not agree with me, he exemplified the point I made. 3.
