They are still fags for using reddit at all.

Reddit was recommended to me in ~2010 as a more free speech oriented , discussion centric alternative to imageboards, because the iPhone had unleashed a fagton of summer children to 4chan and kuvalauta, the finnish imageboard. If only I had known the amount of pozzedness Reddit would attract back then.

Rippers in Peppers, Aaron Schwartz, your baby got pozzed.

It is pretty wild seeing screencaps of old reddit posts, it was definitely a much more open platform back then.

Hard to say if it was the gamification of consensus via updoots or if it was just the general Liberal (i.e. Tranny) capture of tech and media that warped it into what it is today.

I have the official story from one of the admins

I remember that this Kodemage dude once decided to duke it out in the comments. Somehow he went to freemagic and continued it there. And after I've posted about it in one of the two threads we have, somebody produced his personal info. Should still be there somewhere.
 
I hate the pack art for this latest set so much.

Wizards released their guidelines for tiers in EDH. I haven't red it yet, so got nothing to say for the time. But it is live.
 
Is MTG the least sex positive TCG because you always hear people complain about sexy women online while every other card game sells people shit using waifus?
MTG doesn't even have a waifu tax as they make all of them look ugly now.

Winota is a game changer but Gaddock Teeg isn't?

That list is absolutely wild. First, who the hell is running Trinisphere in their EDH decks? Second, you're going to tell me 3sphere and Grand Arbiter are bad, but Sphere of Resistance is a-okay? Tabernacle is ballbusting but Contamination and Grip of Chaos* aren't? The Mirage tutors (and Vamp, and Imperial Seal (lol)) make the list, except for Worldly Tutor, despite how strong creatures are now and how many creature-based infinite combos there are? The whole thing is a joke.

And the tiers continue to not solve the central problem of EDH, which is that player quality is a much bigger determinant of whether you'll have a good game than any sort of deck power measurement.

*One of the most miserably un-fun games of Commander I ever had involved some twat playing a mono-red chaos deck where he ramped this shit out on turn three. He had Planar Chaos (the card) in play too and had brought some giant novelty coin with him that he tried to force on us to do our flips with. It was gratingly obnoxious and the rest of the pod just scooped to him out of annoyance.
 
You know they were scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with "game changers" for red when all they got was two 1 turn duration storm enabler cards. To me the nigga that cast Underworld Breach is either going to suddenly win the game or he isn't, but that's the state the game always is against storm. If they were going to be real about what defines a "game changer" they'd fill the red spot with all of those garbage 5+ mana chaos enchantments that grind the game to a stop until someone finds the correct sequence to disenchant them. But no it's just generically powerful cards; fuck off.
 
The more I look at that list, the more hilariously bizarre it gets. Like, seriously, Tabernacle is an almost $4k card, and according to EDHREC it's in about 7500 decks out of...5.1 million possible decks. That's a 0.15% inclusion rate. Trinisphere is in about 24,000 decks out of 5.1 million, a 0.47% inclusion rate. These are the cards that needed to be called out?

Wizards was pozzed before being pozzed was even a thing. DEI is ingrained deep in the company, no way to remove it.

Even now they are doubling down on this stuff, while most companies are backing off

Yeah they are a Seattle based company.

Why is anyone shocked by this? Seattle only looks sane because San Francisco exists.
