I scream!

You scream!

We all scream into the void, desperately trying to make sense of this uncaring chaos that is our universe, and for someone, somewhere to hear our cries and let us know that we are not alone.

...and we also scream for ice cream.

@ghirapurigears Since the Epic mechanic came up recently in a TCC video, I've been rattling around the idea of pairing these spells with Errant, Street Artist.

@HobbesQ 99 Red Balloons is my go-to example of a song with significant juxtaposition between its melody and lyrics.

@emmadpartlow I preferred drafting Ixalan over Rivals, but I know I was in the minority. It's fair to describe it as a drag-race set (much like Amonkhet), with strong aggro strategies at the forefront. Games were fast but still had plenty of opportunities to interact. I enjoyed it at the time.

@HobbesQ "I'm sure you're wondering why I exiled you all here today...."

@PleasantKenobi We all get something different out of this hobby. You look at this collection of parts in horror, but it intrigues me.

Will it be fiddly to assemble? Absolutely. But for me that's part of the appeal. There's plenty of room for easy-to-build kits, as well as beasts like this. :)

@incorrect_mtg Wait... they don't?

Oh no.

@ghirapurigears Final Parting is effectively Gifts Ungiven.

It's very good.

Random thought of the day:

Whack-a-Mole, Dance Dance Revolution and all Rail Shooters are fundamentally the same game.

@Cardboard_Crack The Royal Roll costs you a little extra.

@girl_ichor @PGDHanson I want to see a Witch's Oven/Up the Beanstalk deck called "Baked Beans".

Not sure there's actually a playable deck there, but I like the name.

[Ben I.-B. *Unusually Sensitive to Boron* @13over13]

@tugskeng @PGDHanson I propose calling any Beseech combo deck "Broken Mirror".

[Ben I.-B. *Unusually Sensitive to Boron* @13over13]

@wizards_magic X spots the mark.

[Ben I.-B. *Unusually Sensitive to Boron* @13over13]

@NLGen @wizards_magic This is true!

If you're in the mood for something deeper, check out "Snakes Basket", "March Comes In like a Silvercoat Lion" or "Khalni Evergarden".

[Ben I.-B. *Unusually Sensitive to Boron* @13over13]

@Midgarmerc @wizards_magic I do like older shows too, like "Bubble Snare Crisis Towashi 2040", "Sailor Blood Moon" and "Ohran Viper Host Club".

[Ben I.-B. *Unusually Sensitive to Boron* @13over13]

@GavinVerhey Hm. I wonder if "strike" could ever be used to save space in card text instead of "deals combat damage to" or if its use would be unclear?

Perhaps still specifying that it's a combat trigger would help:

"When this creature strikes a player in combat, draw a card."

@amberdragun1 @kingdomdeath I'll have to set aside some time to work on the models first, but I'd be happy to give it another go.

[Ben I.-B. *Unusually Sensitive to Boron* @13over13]

It seems I got a delivery today from a certain Kingdom of Death.....

@Vinn_TheHuman @thejesguy I built this deck in Modern! It's a lot of fun.

Vesperlark is also very good friends with Triskelion.

My latest iteration of Vesperlark Reanimator is testing out Master of Cruelties as another possible target:
