Spice with a short beard & a buzz cut, this was back in 2020
Reminder that cis buzz-cut Spice WAS real and COULD hurt you
Gavin Newsom's pivot from denying Israel is committing genocide (less than two months ago) to now calling them an apartheid state isn't proof that he can be pushed in the right direction. It's proof that he "believes" whatever is advantageous for him at the time. He has no values.
Turns out gameplay is actually quite a big topic when analysing a set. Gonna be a touch longer π¬
(i also forgot to talk about the commander decks so that's another couple of pages)
We can all either live in a world where all the tenuous norms of international conflict are put in the shredder because insiders of this dying pedophile's fascist regime want to win big on polymarket, betting on war crimes. Or we could all get organized & build something to abolish & replace it.
The ship that the US torpedoed in international waters, whose crew was left to drown (already a war crime) was unarmed & participating in multinational exercises, & the US knew it would be there because they had been invited to the exercises before they attacked.
The enemies of peace & humanity.
I mean, I look up any & all companies I'm asked to do work for or who are associated something I'm gonna be at, even if my friend says it's cool. I can count on my hand the people I'd trust to vouch for a company or org without my own basic research, because I know they do the exact same thing.
Maybe I'm built different, but if I'm getting invited to an event run by a venture capitalist firm I'd Google their name followed by "evil?" real quick before I start taking selfies.
Aye, both games got super grindy & having top to draw an extra card each turn would have been great, it may come back. Originally the deck had Reality Chip + Etherium Sculptor for that infinite draw combo, but I found it to be too complicated of a plan B that didn't support the rest of the deck
I go back & forth with Ioreth, specifically for North Sea Patrol (for the corner case Waterbend tap down) & I think I may return to her, with Marvin + Unctus & either Urza, Mantle, or Architect for big mana + draws. Fatestitcher remains to unearth as a hasted untapper for the combo
It really is! All your creatures being looters really lends itself to Heart Of The Cards moments, digging for answers with shit on the stack :d
I think the best part is that both wins had at least one person in the pod be like "Oh shit, what a fun deck!" Like, yes it's a Thoracle combo - but Jesus Christ is it ever the most backroads way of getting there π
Thanks! To be fair, this is in pre-season, but I was pretty happy winning in pods with; two RogSilas & an Inalla, & then Sisay, RogThras, & Grixis Breach again!
I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. β₯οΈ
Second tournament & I went 2-0-1! π₯³
I've made some changes & am liable to make some more based on recommendations I got that night, but I'm really enjoying this tricksy, silly, combo deck! Recs still appreciated in the replies here btw βΊοΈ
If I maintained my hegemonic position in the world through violence I think the first thing I'd want everyone else to believe is that "violence is never the answer"
Step 1: Throw the financial markets of the world, which your economy is entirely fueled by because you don't make anything, into chaos by starting a pointless war & destroying your foreign military presence.
Step 2: Private nonce party (you deserve it!)
Step 3: Burger named after you or something.
And we're gonna remind them why they didn't show up to their planned little race riot back in '24 π
Worthwhile reading

"Defensive strikes" in the country that was attacked first, because of nuclear weapons that don't exist.
I know it's a joke at this point but we're basically in 1984 doublespeak right now.
For years we said theyβre going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to βstop being so dramatic.β
Now weβre at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us.
Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?
Maybe some of the unending sadness you feel has to do with the fact that billionaire nonces have been starving & blowing up children every day for the last 3 years and no one with power is doing anything to stop them.
Maybe, if you help build a force that will do something, that sadness will end.
Oh, and it's not just rhetorical - we're active collaborators with military intelligence & support.
The 2nd most unpopular Prime Minister in my lifetime is dragging us into an illegal war with zero debate. Starmer's legacy is one of bloodshed, bootlicking, & cowardice. This government HAS to go.
There's an emergency "Stop the War in Iran" protest kicking off in NYC at 2 pm at Times Square. www.answercoalition.org/iran/ - I'm going to head out. I've also included the list of other protests across the country.
The British state's full throated support of the WAR CRIMES the US & Israel are committing against the people of Iran is expected & revolting.
Lap dog nation, sucking at the heels of fascist projects, as we have done in Gaza, as we did in Iraq. This is a government of nonce defenders & killers.
With all the respect that is deserved: if after decades of these atrocities committed by your government you're not willing to believe the grim details of them because they may be "propaganda", you may be the propagandized one.
The updated total of children killed is 57.
Anyone thinking that US-Israel massacres of Iranian people will "liberate" anything but markets & resources must contend with the reality that they are cheerleaders for the world's villains. No war with Iran.
NEW. This is an elementary girls school in the city of Hormozgan in Iran.
In the last hour, it was hit by a US/Israeli missile attack.
So far, 24 young girls are confirmed dead [SOURCE: Al Jazeera].
The US has just committed a war crime.

At least 40 students killed so far at a school in Minab according to AlJazeera
BREAKING: Israel has illegally bombed Iran. Today weβll be protesting at RAF Marham, in London π and around the country. #NoWarOnIran
