So last week my opponent on Iroh learned why you don't run Archmage Emeritus while everything has Storm. He decked himself and I kept having to remind him that he HAS TO draw equal to storm count BEFORE anything resolve.

Big funny.

Alright so I have goldfished Prismari abou 30ish times now and sans interaction it seems to be ready to go off on turn 4 consistently

This is mostly down to not having Fast Mana outside of Sol Ring and the normal rituals

Dream Grip and Twiddle will be in soon to upgrade. Idk if I should run Twitch

Turns out even on Arena's Ranked Brawl Magda is both good and fun.

I lost 1 out of 7 games so far and it was because I picked a wrong artifact.

Man... counting to 5 is really really easy.

Well I have my B4 Prismari the Inspiration loosely thrown together or at least iteration 1. The goal is to eventually print out the stuff I want/need for cEDH

I mean isn't the only thing implied by the print error is the same facilities run both Star Wars TCG and MtG? Is that really surprising since they already have a trading card printer.

It may sound silly but I do genuinely irl have somewhat spiritual beliefs around commerce and trade, specifically things like Barter and it genuinely comes out of playing Magic.

Seeing people trading cards and stuff has always been a nesr spiritual thing to me and "Fairness" in trades is Sacred.

I really love when people are able and willing to barter for goods and services. Like barter backed up with Cash Exchange is like the IDEAL economic standard.

I remember my friend talking about trading nightshade for larp stuff that got traded for food and that was a nearly spiritual story to me.

User dratsab huffman asks the question:

To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism".

Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies:
Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis.

In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness.

The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

The only thing I remember people saying "Negatively" about the song was something about the song being stolen and the guy being like "No shit? Maybe I heard it on the radio, but I dont think so"

The single best unproblematic rock in Casual Conmander... like this is probably the one card id consider a universal staple. Its a Mindstone with late game upside.

Yeah dude was reading every card in hand multiple times, started making a decision rereading every card, realizing he had flashback cards readings those, switching his choice rereading everything.

I lost game 1 and due to being friendly we had 18 minutes for 2 more games.

I get new players go to prerelease but like there must be a way to, without judges, push a player to play at a reasonable tilt.

So yesterday at the first prerelease my second round opponent beat me purely on my own time anxiety. Like brother was taking more than a minute on each decision multiple times per turn so game 1 was over 30 minutes and he said to me

"I was afraid we would have to go to game 3 with 5 minutes left"
