Does Mechanized Production work with clue tokens?

Yes.

When Mechanized Production’s trigger resolves, you’ll win the game if you control eight or more artifacts with the same name, no matter what the name is. It can be something like Clue tokens, or Etherium Cell tokens, or whatever. It doesn’t have to even be artifacts with the same name as the enchanted artifact.

I really enjoyed it Tbh

Like I think it manages to capture that Douglas Adams vibe that's really hard to translate to screen whilst also having a really fun and compelling and intricate plot

Also written in a way that unapologetically takes a number of shots at "me, an intellectual" style detective shows (BBC Sherlock)

funny enough this is one of the things I did like about the short-lived, inconsistent bbc four series of dirk gently. (which was good on its own terms, iirc, but doesn’t hold a candle to douglas adams in any way.) it’s weird how this character from the 80s is (serendipitously, given his methods) completely accidentally a great vehicle for mocking sherlock

i never read the books but personally i loved the series it was so fun and i liked every character so

I haven’t read it in a long while but I highly recommend at least the first book. (I haven’t read the second, and the third was never finished.) it’s like adams’s other series, hitchhiker’s guide, only...denser? the effect of the book is sort of like if one of the absurdist anecdotes about the universe from h2g2 was expanded to the length of a full novel, except it’s actually five or six of those anecdotes all layered on top of each other and intertwined. and it started life as a particularly good doctor who script. if the show is at all like the book I think you’d enjoy it.

Like I'd Hella recommend watching it and I'm here to discuss it with you from like a series perspective and like a production perspective because I have a lot to say about it

I’ll let you know if I watch it!

If you flicker an enchantment creature with bestow, does it have to return as the permanent type it was exiled as or can the creature return as an aura or vice versa?

It just comes back as a creature.

A permanent with bestow is only ever an aura if it was cast for its bestow cost. A permanent that’s flickered enters the battlefield directly and wasn’t cast.

Fuck now I’m gonna have to find 27 spaces on my shelf

I love that after not releasing a book in almost 10 years he’s making up for it by releasing a 27 volume story that’s looking to be 20k-odd pages in length, given that both volumes out so far are 800+ pages

Are you talking about Morrissey? Idk.

good guess, but nah, it’s not the morrissey thing. the morrissey thing is more amusing than anything. like that post with the back-and-forth headlines on madison square garden’s choice of food this was more of in the mode of john green bashing, but less intense. come to think of it it might’ve been just among a few people from buttass? I doubt it but that is definitely a possibility, for a while those were basically the only people I followed

Exec voice: But imagine how much money those limited prints will go for if there’s /less/ of them.

I mean it’s weird too, because they could’ve gone that route and made it a limited edition type deal. especially since the bttf front page is just a cover wrap. but you can buy it, cover wrap and all, as a back issue on their website. the catch is it’s $3 more. I mean granted, it wouldn’t have benefited them to make it more limited (obviously they don’t make more money on resale, and people aren’t going to pay a significant amount more for a damn newspaper, especially all the non-bttf fan usa today subscribers) but I’m legitimately surprised they didn’t at least jack the price on that particular back issue. even if they still definitely undersupplied it to stores. it honestly wouldn’t have been shocking at all. it’s still a dick move but it’s comparatively light on dickishness
