How do you feel about pick two draft? I like it which is apparently the minority position

I have more mtg hot takes than it's healthy to keep in one head so feel free to message me if you want to learn more about the current game and freak yourself out

I've no beef with indestructible.

The only downside is you couldn't have instants which grant hexproof cos ward doesn't work like that. I would compensate by giving green counterspells which target spells and effects which target your permanents.

Steady on
I want hexproof replaced with ward {4} cos a) it's practically the same effect and would reduce the amount of evergreen keywords b) you coul give red more "can't be countered" removal to help distinguish it from black removal.

I also want hexproof retired, maybe thatll get you revved up enough

An minor upside to this would mean that each evergreen keyword is a single word, which soothes my autism

Retiring first strike would mean having to retire double strike, which I would replace with an ability called Fiesty which means "if this creature would deal combat damage it deals double that damage instead"

My proposal is to instead use an ability I call Pounce which would be mechanically the same as "this creature has first strike when its blocked". Pounce could be used a lot more freely in a set.

First strike is problematic on defense (a 2 power first strike functionally stops any X/2s from attacking) and exponentially so in multiples (two 2 power first strikers stop any X/4s from attacking). As a result it has to be used very sparingly in a set.

My spiciest mtg hot take is that first strike should be retired

They should do Expendables but for carefree female love interests for dull men. Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel, and Kirsten Dunst teaming up to blow up an oil pipeline.

basically how ive been approaching my tech interviews

the thing that worked for my mum was hearing about a book (not reading it, just hearing about it) called "noone wants your shit when you die". Pushed her to get rid of a bunch of her stuff. I guess different approaches work for different people.

Got a bunch of people with hoarding tendencies in my family and a common theme is doing it to create a sense of control. However insane their situation is It's at least a situation of their own creation.

I think it's less about being a rigorous standard and more about a starting point for horders to shift their thinking. Can imagine a hoarder saying "yeah I'd clean it if it got dirty" about any old piece of bullshit.

So I'd put my money on campy bond stuff being present but not strictly necessary

Hypothetically one could take the most direct route through each mission and get a straightforward, sensible thriller story, but the developers clearly want you to get silly with it

The Hitman:World of Assassination trilogy is in my top 3 games of all time and it is absolutely full of stupid nonsense (complimentary). The Italian level has 2 plumbers, one wearing red and one wearing green, and an achievement for picking up a bunch of coins while wearing one of their outfits.

Nothing else to fill the 10 episodes they owe Amazon tho

Nietzsche (human): "God is dead. And we have killed him" (mournful)
Ni'Ché (klingon): "God is dead. And we have killed him!" (triumphant)

You are privy to a great becoming, but you recognize nothing. To me, you are a slug in the sun. You are an ant in the afterbirth. It is your nature to do one thing correctly. Before me, you rightly tremble. But, fear is not what you owe me. YOU OWE ME AWE.

To get people excited

I knew spaceballs made fun of the original trilogy but I didn't think it was possible to mock the prequels and the sequels. I know I'll have my tickets for opening night
