To answer Farfa’s question at 3:58:38 , the difference is what you do in between voting. If you’re dissatisfied with the party, you push for activism and engage in politics after you vote. If you just vote and grumble and do nothing and expect things to fix themselves, you’re falling into self-delusion. You vote to make sure you get the lesser of the evils to buy yourself time to push for the actually good policies.
MTG wise the 0 mana interaction should have been the first thing to test for *FOR COMMANDER ITSELF*. From casual to competitive EDH nobody would want that at the table. Their own explanation fails for their intended target.
@Farfa You have to vote for change for change to occur. Not voting throws out your voice and ability to affect any of the current goings-on in your political system, which is why I believe it is vital to vote in every election.
RE: politicking, we don't have a legitimate choice, Farfa. The slightly softer party which isn't surrounded by fascist actors is undeniably easier to work with than the P25/A47 gang. The most prominent 3rd party candidates this year were Stein, pro-genocide and also quietly antivax, and RFK Jr, noted prominent antivaxxer and reliant on his political dynasty for his following. Not like you'll actually see this, but you should also vote in the UK. Otherwise, you hardly have a right to complain about the Tories, Labors, etc. because if you're not gonna vote, then they have no reason to platform your issues other than a sense of morality
Hell even as a libertarian our candidate was the extremely disappointing, and self-beneficially inconsistent, Chase Oliver. The guy that thinks a naked abolishment of the department of education could manifest a net good (and even if it did is *that* the "overreach" we really need to be going after right now? Its woefully remaniscent of bs Trump and RFK talking poitns), wants to remove obviously important harm-reducing regulations on adoptions, and is a subtle proponent of the state abolitionists in the party. I deleted the rest of my rambling because its unnecessary. I think we're all in agreement on a sense of generalized frustration.
Yeah we don't vote and we get the exact same things happening regardless, but if Trump wins he goes harder in on israel AND starts stripping American civil rights. The 'don't vote' take is so fucking tiring because not voting just means trump wins.
Personally, I want SE to be weak enough that even with the Azamina cards, it isn't even close to Tier 1, which is either a Flamberge hit or an OSS hit, and OSS being banned kills the other actually interesting decks that use it as an engine (Rescue Ace, Infernoid, etc), so I'd prefer Flamberge. Alternatively, absolutely killing its consistency with the cards that got limited, but also Bonfire and Wanted limit would have been nice. Wanted especially is egregious, it's a witch and a draw the next turn. Without Beatrice to go full combo, killingg all their starters from like 12 to like... 7 would have done a lot.
@@brucevanbaalen4992they hit the consistency hard? It has like a 93% chance to full combo instead of a 98% chance to full combo. It needed like 2 more limits to mess with the consistency hard. Or a full on ban on something.
Good to see WotC R&D still making extremely poor mistakes when it comes to testing Modern horizon pack cards. Bet they lied to MTG players after they said the FIRE design philosophy was put to rest. Once i read about this it all but confirmed that WotC is still incompetent even though they hired a bunch of former pro's to be in their R&D team. Cant wait for every MTG format to die and they'll only be left with commander soon enough. Thank god I hard quit that game and started playing pokemon. My mental and wallet have been thanking me for a few years for that decision. Imagine paying a QA team and just not letting them do their job or make the decision to not do what their hired for. WotC as a company is still disfunctional af when it comes to anything, but now Big Daddy Hasbro has them completely by the balls so who knows what even goes on there anymore
1:21:00 It's like night and day how excited MBT seems to be vs how unenthusiastic Duel Links players are for Rush Duels. You get such a long delay for finding Rush Duel players in ranked vs in speed duels sadly, but tbf, Rush Duels has been mostly a sackfest as of late in Duel Links...and probably will always be because of how the format is built.
the thing is nadu is like insanely op in commander too and non competitive commander players arent playing that shit either

MBT casually mentioning his mild metal fan-ness. Doesn’t he know some dudes in the band sanction?
farfa endlessly yapping while mbtgets his soul sucked out playing voiceless on md is peak fucking content
Absurdly based take on all the kids suddenly screaming that flamberge needs to be banned
Flamberge floating into two bodies is definitely crazy strong, but he's got an interesting card in the realm of snake eyes
there screaming that because they dont want the deck to exist anymore, which is totally defensible
@@AnzoriousFor what? To make a Deck into the next DR for Another 7 Years? Hell No. They Hit the consistency hard and thats fine.

Are the chapters fucked up or am I just schizophrenic?

Ya see the issue is if they wanted MH to sell they had to include cards that commander players want because aint nobody playing modern in 2024.
