It's taken me a little over 13 years, but today I can finally say I own a set of Mishra's Workshop!
It's been a journey to get to where I am with my collection, but I'm thrilled with what I've attained 😊
@MurrayHillGuy1 I'm constantly getting mailers from Spectrum to get me as a customer; wondering to myself how their marketing department can justify that kind of waste.
This. This is why they can do that.
@daneacusar@SaffronOlive@JavierDmagic We've 7 standard set releases this year which is worse.
I think it would have been fine to have a 3 year rotation if it were just 4 sets a year. It'd be much more manageable, anyway.
If UB sets have to exist in standard, then do 3 in universe, 1 UB set each year.
I recently spoke with someone from Gen Z who just began dating someone new
He said he will upload entire chat histories of their texts and shared photos to ChatGPT and ChatGPT will analyze the relationship, break down their relational patterns and attachment styles, and advise him how to approach the relationship going forward for optimal outcomes, even crafting exact texts for him to send back to her
And it is good at it. It’s really accurate and *incredibly* good.
According to this guy, “all his friends are doing this now”
Wow.
Thinking back to that era of my life, I remember all the uncertainty of a brand new relationship. To relieve the uncertainty, we would go to our friends to share and get advice. The entire experience was human-based
This is so much easier and more powerful than that, and the entire experience is technology-based
Still trying to wrap my mind around all the implications of this. But a few initial thoughts:
1. Anything you text or send to another person can be turned over to AI without your knowledge
2. Are any of these relationships organic? What if both parties are doing this? Is this just one Chatbot dating another Chatbot with a human facade?
3. This doesn’t bode well for the traditional dating coach or marriage therapist career path
I was hoping they'd make the playoffs this year in convincing fashion (12-5 or better). Now they'll likely limp their way in; if they even make it.
This team deserves much better than Todd Bowles' leadership. I really hope they leave him in the dust after this season.
The @Buccaneers loss tonight was embarrassing. For the falcons to have as many penalties against them and for the Bucs to be up 2 possessions only to throw all of that away is infuriating to watch.
dear boomers- you should want to live in a country where if young people do what theyre supposed to do, things work out for them
millions of young people watching you shred the social contract and pull the ladder up arent just going to go "oh well, good game"
you are in danger
@adhd_jeeba Caleb Hammer has said on a couple of occasions that there hasn't been a single military veteran he's had on his show, that didn't receive lifetime disability payments. All of which seem to be okay physically and of sound mind (apart from their very poor financial decisions).
I'm a terrible drafter, however, seeing this information makes me feel less bad about having only had a couple of positive win records through the drafts I've done. I feel even better knowing that I spent no direct money out of pocket for them (thank you draft tokens) 😎
Crunched the numbers on the 17Lands Powered Cube leaderboard. Of the top 20 games won, only Dafore is projected to have won gems.
Absolutely brutal event structure, but hey, what about people who aren't winning by volume, but by percentage? How many of those exist? Let's look...
While I'm someone who is for the abolition of the reserve list in these times I can at least take solace in the fact that all of the classics (Lotus, moxen, Bazaar, Workshop, etc.) will NEVER be subjected to lazy treatments like this.
Last night I was looking at the commander game changer list for the first time.
Can someone explain to me why Mishra's Workshop is absent from it? Tabernacle is on there, so it's clearly not a cost issue. #MTG#EDH#CEDH
I do!

That AIPAC purchased the seats of about 90% or more of our current congress. JFK famously wanted them registered as a foreign agent right before he was shot and thus they changed their name and never registered. Why are we letting a foreign lobby buy off our congress?
That Israel was obviously the state sponsor of Jefrey Epstein, whose handler was Ehud Barak, ex head of Israeli military intelligence, his funding was Les Wexner one of the worlds richest Zionist 'philanthropists' and he was accused by ex Mossad assets of being Mossad. Not to mention the Maxwell connection. (They had blackmail on Clinton, and many, many more.) He who holds the blackmail holds the leash- just ask J. Edgar Hoover.
That Israel is the only nation who has a defacto sanctioned, yet actually secret and unsanctioned nuclear program. A program that they stole from the United States- look into the Apollo affair, NUMEC, the Dimona nuclear facility.
That jews, muslims, and christians lived side by side in peace in Palestine before the Rothschilds purchased the country from Britain during WW1 (see the Balfour declaration) and began their colonial program.
That the groups that founded Israel, Lehi, Irgun, and Hagannah, were declared terrorist organizations by Israel itself because their tactics were so deplorable (bombing British and Palestinian civilians) yet these three 'paramilitary' groups rebranded to form the IDF and their leadership became the leadership of Israel for the following thirty plus years.
That Israel is a foreign nation halfway across the world that has no business receiving my tax dollars. Why are we sending them billions of dollars of our tax money while our country burns, is overrun by illegal immigration, etc?
We are told Israel is our 'greatest ally' so why would they have had a massive spy network targeting US government agencies leading up to sep 11, 2001 - see the Israeli art students DEA report for copious evidence of Israeli surveillance all across the continental US. This is an official government report that cites hundreds of incidents of observed Israeli surveillance teams documented by US government agents all across the continental US.
And we still have received 0 answers why there were numerous fake Israeli moving companies positioned all across the eastern seaboard leading into September 11, 2001 and we have multiple eye witness reports, as well as hard photographic evidence that they knew the attacks were coming at least a day before they did and that they were positioned at a vantage point to photograph the attack up to a half hour before the first plane hit.
Never got any answers- but you can read the official FBI reports about the incident. I've broken them down live on X before.
That's just a small list of some of the best documented reasons why I, as an American, dont want Israel receiving any of my tax dollars.
And I didn't even mention my obvious objections to the collective punishment, mass surveillance, forced starvation, bombing of refugee camps, brutal murdering of women and children that's been going on in Gaza and the West Bank for years, decades- which you can watch in graphic detail right here on X.
And that's not to mention that somehow we let congress pass laws outlawing 'antisemitic' speech, despite our own first amendment. And we have anti-boycott legislation in multiple states, despite the fact that it's perfectly legal to boycott American companies... just not Israeli ones.
Every content creator knows the fastest way to get demonetized, banned, and slandered is to be critical of Israel. I figured you would have realized this too after what they did to you and tried to do to X last year.
