Every single time I post this image on TikTok I get a community guidelines violation.
What do they know that I don't?
Because of rule 118.7c in the Magic the Gathering comprehensive rules, these two cards win the game outright.
Just thought I'd share
you guys need to let go of any rigid belief in what being nonbinary is because it can be anything. like someone can look completely average in gender presentation and do literally nothing to set themselves apart from their assigned gender and still be nonbinary.
okay well i’m your nonbinary enemy and i say so.
This is typically where I ramble about games, and normally I have more of a point when I start my ramblings but this time I don't really. I mostly just want to talk about the other game genre I like a lot, ARPGs, and my experiences with Path Of Exile 2.
At some point, I genuinely believe that PoE2 will be the best ARPG on the market, but I don't think the game is there yet. The game has an extensive endgame with a lot of cool ideas and mechanics, but I find myself torn about the implementation. The fundamentals are there, but the way they integrate into gameplay currently doesn't feel cohesive.
The first time you enter delirium or a breach or something, you genuinely don't know what it is or what's about to happen. If you contrast that with a ritual, where the actual campaign has an entire mission specifically teaching you what that is, it ends up feeling like "we have this because PoE1".
Now having said that, the campaign isn't complete yet. If the second half of the campaign does integrate these critical endgame mechanics into itself, then I suspect all my complaints will vanish into thin air. It's too early days to really make a call as to how this will end up playing out.
As weird as this may also sound, I don't think the endgame has enough variety. There's far more stuff to do overall than say Diablo 4, but also there isn't. On paper, there are far more activities, but they really do all feel exactly the same with just a different coat of paint.
This is one area where Diablo 4 actually shines over PoE2, variety. Infernal Hoards feels different than a Nightmare Dungeon, which feels different than a Pit run, which feels different than an Undercity run... Everything feels like it's a different activity. PoE2 has a hard time making an Expedition feel realistically any different than a Ritual.
Where PoE2 does shine over any other ARPG on the market is the chase. They have nailed the satisfaction you get from chasing down a rare drop, even if it is just currency. The way the crafting system works, those rare currency orbs are incredibly important.
Even if you can't clear a map with a high enough difficulty to get gear better than you have, those currency orbs are used to trade for gear. So when that ever so rare Divine Orb drops, thats essentially a new piece of gear right there. One that you chose from a marketplace of gear.
Diablo 4 is very bad at this. Because of the way the gear and loot system works, you can very easily acquire the best in slot items. Even if they aren't perfect, they will always be enough to clear Torment 4. Now sure, you can chase down the perfect versions of that gear. You can hunt that 4 Greater Affix Masterworked Mythic, but why? There's no point. There is no harder content to clear, no greater rewards other than bragging rights for clearing the Pit faster.
Diablo 4 overall does a much better job at integrating it's mechanics into overall gameplay and game feel, as well as has a more defined sense of variety. My genuine hope is that PoE2 can look at that and start doing some of that too. Because PoE2 is clearly going to become the best ARPG on the market, if it isn't already it will get there. I just hope it can become the best version of itself it can be as well.
not what he meant.
The new "Commander Box League" format is more evidence that Wizards has no idea the problems with their own game.
In the USA it's entirely possible people might participate in an event like this. If you were going to buy a box anyway, why not?
In the rest of the world however, the game is already suffocating under its costs. Yes I enjoy playing commander but there is absolutely no chance I'm going to spend Three Hundred Canadian Dollars to play, more than that if there is an entry fee.
Yes I understand it's just another format and there is no requirement to participate, and I have zero intentions to do so. But the fact that this is a thing they think I might do says a lot about how they view their game.

It's not a new idea.
Really, the announced format for wpn stores looks like a design-cheap way to get [some, weak] commander players to draft. In the past for Baldur's gate, you could actually draft the set properly with pick2 rules and a failsafe color ID commander in faceless one.
This looks like a slapdash way to get people to exchange money for game sense, for if they had it naturally or from study, then they'd just fucking draft with playboosters and 40 card decks.
A boxing league thing is a reasonable ask at a magiccon, but not a random favored store.
"Three hundred dollars for an event is good actually"
A commander box league has the most obvious sticker shock because you're trying to scrape together a deck with only cards from that box.
But on it's face this is a wacky thing to do! You recapture the zany, niche creativity that predated the advent of edhrec, while being a consistent object of campaign improvements, which lends itself to longer narrative storytelling.
That's true!
But outside of the USA it's not sustainable. The problem isn't buying the box. If they were still $130 like they were when I first started playing, I'd actually do this.
The problem is Wizards has let things spiral out of control with pricing. If cards kept up with inflation in my country they would be about $190 a box now. But they aren't, it's around $290/300. That's the problem.

Considering the cost of competitive formats, box leagues are probably still a cheaper entry point than most 60 card formats.
Not to defend anything wizards are doing, more just to commiserate on the ridiculous price point magic is at.
Exactly. None of it should be this expensive.
I actually much prefer 60 card formats to be honest. But I've not played one with any degree of seriousness since 2010, because even back then the writing was on the wall with pricing.

Every once in a while I remember Splatoon exists, this time because the announcement and update, and I boot the game up.
I proceed to have the most fun I've ever had in a competitive game.
Three weeks later I forget it exists again, until next time where I will be once again shocked at how much fun I'm having.
would you?
By far my favorite character in the AAA gaming industry is Randy Pitchford.
This man has one of the easiest jobs in the world. All he has to do is sell Borderlands, a game that practically sells itself. And yet consistently he fucks it up so badly that we know about his piss fetish.
Thinkin bout Blue..
Just clearly heard an AI voice do an ad on the radio at work.
That was bizarre, but then I thought "wait, is this the same ad again?" Nope. Two different ads in a row with the same AI voice.
And then it happened. Three, then four ads in a row with the SAME voice over. Completely interchangeable.
I have zero idea what they were trying to sell, and I never will, because I can't even tell when one ad ends and another begins.
