Probably because states actually depend on tax revenue, since they can’t just print their own money.

“well under $1,000"

Bad take, Splinter.

Oh, Path is definitely too good for standard too. The closest thing to PtE or StP in standard is Fatal Push (costs B), which is really good I admit, but (purposefully) misses any creature that costs over 4 CMC, and you have to have had a permanent (like a fetchland, which is no longer standard) leave the battlefield…

You are very old school. I have to admit I prefer your idea of magic to what we currently have. To me, instants and sorceries have always been the “magic” part of magic, with other spell types being secondary.

I don’t think there are any cards in standard that are over $50, certainly not any Planeswalkers. Last card that was super expensive in standard was lil’ Jace (the transforming one). Admittedly he was about $100 at his peak.

You haven’t played in a long time it seems. If so I understand where you’re coming from.

Not sure if you’ve ever played with planeswalkers, but they can be a liability as much as an asset. An aggressive deck can pretty much ignore them and swing for your face. They’re very balanced - no different than Artifacts or Enchantments, just easier to remove.

Rhymes with bloke? I’ve been calling them the cock brothers all this time.

That’s because his head is fucking huge.

Kelly too. Don’t forget him.

And the aluminum mills.

So true. In my Southern Black Baptist/Pentecostal family, funerals for elders aren’t somber events. They call them “homegoings” too, not funerals. ‘

“...it is people like you who give me hope when I feel like all is lost and we are doomed.”

Why, thank you.

It’s almost like he is trying to recreate the Great Depression. First, financial stimulus when the economy is near the end of a 10 year bull market, now a global trade war. All the while personal debt is at a record high. This is going to be such a shitshow.

I don’t know, I’m already really hot this might be overdoing it.

I certainly wouldn’t say no one.

Fuck him. That’s the gist. He’s an idiot.

All of Europe is surrounded by US bases, not just Russia.
