Quote From OldManSanns

My favorite salt is coursely ground sea salt. The larger granules make it taste much more potent than normal table salt while actually having less sodium.

Many foodies will insist on pink Himalayan sea salt, but don't be fooled--there is nothing nutritionally or texturely different from pink Himalayan and other sea salts. The pink …

Dildos and Dangers

I enjoy online MTG way more than in real life. It attracted some very loud, angry, fragile men. When I was collecting and playing I moved to 3 different cities and the results were always the same. I didn't like going to events because these guys dominated everything by shouting and being generally creepy. I think the moment I quit …

Nr.5: „On your note that card art isn't just a product on the company.. it really is."

No. It isn't

I'm currently studying Graphic Desing. One of the first Things they tell you is, that the Works that you produce for Agencies/Companies/etc. are an extremely Important Part of your Portfolio. You …

Ok, let's have a talk about what is and isn't censorship. Censorship on a government level and corporate level are two different things.

Government Censorship: In the US true censorship (IE removal and destruction of something) is reserved for what is only dangerous. This includes things like instructions on how to make weapons, art that promotes violence, and incendiary …

Actually they have made a lot of effort in the art to make the actual skin tones of humanoids not tied to the color of mana. They started including a lot more people of color in white and less dark skin tones in black. This was a response to years of people pointing out that all the good characters were …

Weird, all those people who are so concerned with banning 30 year old cards for racism aren't interested in discussing new cards...

On topic...I'm liking the theme of Beefy Boi Garruk. Probably too slow for competition but it'll be fun to toy around with.  

I love that mutt art. Adorable. I like that a new white theme seems to …

So barely racist is good enough for you? And yes they did. I know your school glanced it over but look up the Redemption movement in American history. The movement that laid the groundwork for the KKK and other racist groups to seize power. "Cleansing the Black Scourge" is literally a rallying cry of the times.

And don't tell …

Historic connotation of cleansing in the South. The 'Redemption' movement in the American South was a Reconstruction era ideal to remove Black voices and rights so that the white people could take their 'rightful and ordained place' on the top. There was a large push to 'cleanse' the politics and policies, IE remove all Black representation and eliminate (Lynching) Black …

It's easy to say when you're skin tone isn't the color constantly associated with evil.  

Oh for God's sake, it's not censoring. It was a representation of their companies products and they decided they didn't want it to be. By your definition painting over swastikas in a bathroom stall is censorship and wrong.

Most MtG news.... 1-4 comments. MtG announces it's banning cards with problematic art or names: Deluge of complaints. Ok, these are mostly 30 year old cards that no one plays. This is like when Disney went back and said, "Song of the South... not really something anyone is itching to watch but we should acknowledge there are problems here."  

…

When your card game depicts the KKK...

• Invoke Prejudice- KKK reference
• Cleanse- I dunno honestly. The art is tiny, wondering if it's something in there that's racist. *Update: Cleaning the Black Scourge was part of the Redemption movement of racist white Southerners and the KKK.
• Stone-Throwing Devils- Racial Slur
• Pradesh Gypsies- Racial Slur
• Jihad- Real life religious term and problematic art
• …

Listen, as someone who's been saved by a rescue dog this is exactly how it works. The rescue dog dug me out of the snow, I prepared the forbidden circle and produced my knife. After drinking his blood I used his body like a sled to slide to freedom. And I did in fact feel indestructible.

I hate this card, such a poor design. Getting steamrolled after only having 3 turns isn't fun. It's way to much of a high-roll card.  

Take out a key card from an opponents deck. The zombie is also not guaranteed. You could just remove the cards from their graveyard and library without creating the tokens.

Masticore is honestly not a great card in my opinion. Artifact, good stats, and an effect that absolutely squashes Plainswalkers. I think it's one of those cards that are really going to limit competitive decks and be in most side boards. Only time I don't think you would run this in at least the sideboard is for pure aggro.

Sits on the loader for about 5 minutes for me. Also about every week or two it 'patches' but it re-downloads the entire game for the patch. I don't know if it's the most inefficient patches ever if it's a bug.

If I wanted mass manipulation I would turn on Fox News. HEEEYOOOO!
