guys, stop complaining please.

You know what you wrote makes me want to start complaining instead of stop

Complain if you like, but he's right. This is all our (customer pool at large) fault.

The entry barrier to our fun is increasing, limiting who can have fun with us. But this is just a continuation of existing trends.

And actually, charging large dollars for functionally identical game pieces is so much better than chase-mythics and tournament-staple buy-a-boxen. So while WotC are undeniably wh0res, you can't really blame them for it. Blame the johns.

If we're going back to these places I wonder if we'll see things like Heroic and devotion for Theros; I'd guess we'll see a landfall variant if not landfall itself for Zendikar, provided the storyline and setting call for it. I'd like to see more Heroic and devotion.

Anyways, im gonna bow out now bc its very clear that you cant say anything at all that can perceived to be against a minority class here or its taken as if you are a hobophobe, racist, sexist etc. no matter how much reason you have.

and ps. jace and gideon suck as characters, so thanks again for making my point for me

Mmmh, the whole point of the conversation was that wotc made bad characters because it pandered to gays, nonwhites and so on just for the sake of diversity.
Apparently they made bad characters even when they try to make classic characters: the white buff male and the white "nerd" male.
It's pretty clear that they don't make bad characters because of sjw, they made bad characters and that's it
So i guess your arguments just crumbled.

If you have nothing more to say just stop quoting me and leave it at that. Let me suffer from my delusion as I respectfully let others suffer from theirs.

Quote from Utilityman »

I'm betting/dreaming that we're going to have a 2 drop mana dork that produces rainbow mana to replace ye ol' Sylvan Caryatid so there's a chance (if dreams are real) that you would be able to drop this guy with a 6/6 body.

Even if there isn't, there's always Honored Hierarch. And Rattleclaw Mystic produces three colors. If this can be reliably cast with four colors, it could be solid.

I'm quite fed up with that seeded booster thing. They're too swingy, the seeded rare can go from complete bomb with all excellent support in terms of common/uncommon to total chaff, and as such ruins the depth of your pool. It ruined my DTK PR experience twice, my FRF PR was a bad Abzan and a nuts Temur, then again, I go DTK Dromoka and Ojutai with okay/bad seeded boosters of course not backed by the regular boosters... and come back home frustrated. It doesn't really make me want to attend PR anymore. I wish they'd get back to regular sealed deck but with more emphasis on side animations like the Dragon Roar which are quite fun.

Quote from SilvosRogueElemental

A lot of conservative Republicans are of the view that the rich are superior human beings. Ayn Rand's entire philosophy is essentially plutocracy in its most exaggerated form. The rich get richer on the backs of the inferior workers because if the workers were good enough to be rich they would be.
Ayn Rand was a disgusting human being and a hypocrite of the worst order. She lived off of her disciples for the latter half of her life because she was a failure as a writer and everything else she tried. All "Randroids" seem to forget that her books were almost universally panned by critics as simplistic, shortsighted and lacking in personality, compelling characters and stories. She was trying to spread her message but it mostly only resonated with rich kids who were born into money. Unfortunately followers of her philosophy have been in positions to spread their insidious worldview in the form of policy. Most visibly is Paul Ryan, but most egregiously is Alan Greenspan. His constant efforts to deregulate markets and give benefits to the wealthy caused at least 2 economic downturns and the largest wealth gap in American history.
The Randian ideology is a dangerous and heartless one.
