Anybody here know why they opt for the more complicated "if no opponent has more life than that player" instead of the plain and straightforward "if that player has the most life" ?
The big reason is that dethrone didn't work if you, yourself, had the most life and these guys work even if you have the most life of all players. A definite upgrade
I also get the Afro Samurai reference, but where did Raiyuu's ancestors come from? Kaya's home plane? Muraganda? Raiyuu looks like the descendant of a planeswalker who's clearly not from Kamigawa.
Can I ask why Kaya's home plane and....Muraganda were the two places you chose here? We don't know anything about Muraganda beyond small drips of lore and the Mimeoplasm so why that specific plane?
I think this has already been mentioned, but it's really hard to coexist with other people who don't want you to exist at all. There are some attitudes, opinions, and behaviors that don't get a pass under the auspices of tolerance (or free speech), and bigotry might be at the very top of that list.
The extremist sees only extremists.
Terese Nielsen never sought the destruction of anybody, but plenty of people jumped on the hate train against her, blindly following the blood track of the stabbing against her character.
Then they celebrate to demolished a beloved community member, and go out for the next victim.
At some point people realize that, sadly its most of the time when the finger is pointed at them and its too late ...
Imagine going this hard for someone who supports Neo Nazis, follows, likes and listens to Neo Nazis, donates their work to Neo Nazis and doesn't disparage Neo Nazis, and then getting touchy and semantic when she gets called a neo nazi. You can play word games all day until this thread, inevitably, gets locked, but at the end of the day, you defending someone who is a QAnon supporter and donates work to Neo Nazis. Again, what does that make you?
Jason responded in a reasonable way , doesnt undo his mistake, but in the end, thats the only proper way to get this done.
However to be consistent, he should never be allowed to be an artist for MTG again, as we have plenty of artists to choose from that do not have this flaws and honor their craft, which he clearly does not enough to a professional degree (as if anything, this can be an example that artists should actually give a damn and not do that under any circumstances, otherwise if you can just "excuse" this and still keep going, artists will abuse this for sure).

Terese Nielsen is an amazing person and any slander to her name is disgusting (as she stated nothing but the truth, and some people dont want to see the reality and deny it to their own harm and pitchfork their way through life).
Terese Nielsen to massive twitter insanity
For me this is far more reasonable standpoint than all the screeching twitter mobs that just seek to harm people because they are bored.
If you have to defend someone whose views align with QAnon and Neo Nazis, chances are they aren't a good person. And neither are the people defending them or playing semantics in regards to, again, literal alt-rightism
But if you think neo nazi supporters are good people, what does that make you?
This....is a hard card to evaluate. It has the potential to be really amazing, is a finisher and a way to keep you in the game. It's hard to get full value on turn 4 unless we get more 1 mana cyclers
This is likely one of the strongest cards revealed so far. It has early and late game utility. I have no complaints other than I'm going to hate facing it with my control decks
The land coming into play untapped is great and this does fuel the grave with 5 cards so maybe that's it's niche. I'm just unsure how good this is overall? Apprehensive to call this bad
Weird that they picked the objectively worst Gideon for the spellbook. I guess because it's his original card, with his full (post-Bant) name? Is Signature Spellbook: Nissa going to be Elf-tribal?
You've clearly never come across the infamous Boros time Gideon. Now that....that is something we all try to forget.
Now that is interesting. It doesn't help in the counterspell war if you are fighting to resolve stuff but if it is YOU casting stuff this is basically worth 2 copies/is buyback for 2. I love it

Plagiarize? No
Support QAnon and Neo-Nazi views? Yes
You never miss a chance to shill for her huh?
The card itself is pretty decent. A good rate on the body, flying and if you can self mill a bit, you got a good engine going.
