I'd only seen iron Man 1, Dr strange, black panther, civil war and guardians of the Galaxy 2 before watching infinity war.

The only other movie I wish I had seen prior was Thor 3, as I imagine it leads in pretty directly

But yeah, if you're not already generally aware of general marvel comic background/lore it seems like it's a good idea to watch as many as you can

Just avoid the actively bad movies, like iron Man 2 and Thor 2.

I have that movie theater subscription thing, which has enticed me to see a lot more movies recently

Nobody I knew wanted to see annihilation, so I went by myself. Was totally fine.

The only downside is that if someone is being loud/obnoxious it is more nerve wracking to confront them by yourself

Otherwise, it's a dark theater and you're not supposed to talk anyway

Reserved list is healthy for magic. It's just bad for the actual players in vintage/legacy/whatever

Having this unattainable tier to look up to is actually good for the players at kitchen tables or fnms. Hard to describe, but it makes the hobby feel deeper

It also lends credence to the value of collecting when you can say a few specific cards are worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. It attracts newbies to the hobby

being concerned about voter fraud as opposed to voter suppression is one of those weird things

in an ideal world, people could look at both issues, examine real data to determine the level of threat of both, and try to find rational solutions to them

one can certainly envision a reality where voter fraud is a huge problem that eclipses all others. one can also envision a reality where voter suppression is a huge problem that eclipses all others.

however, for 'some mysterious reason' the cheerleaders of the republican party have decided, sans evidence, voter fraud is the important one. and democrats vice versa

like obviously you can bring up knee-jerk arguments for either side ("don't you think ILLEGAL VOTING is BAD???", "don't you think denying minorities the vote is BAD???") but that's not how things should be done

data, data, data

I don't know about best, but I do think the buster sword is the most iconic of the series, mostly because ff7's game cover is great and features the sword prominently.

Brotherhood does give it a run for its money, just because it is so cool looking. Taken away slightly by the fact that every other water-aligned sword in the game has an identical appearance. Also its story implications are weak.

If we were going purely by in-game/story implications, I feel like masamune might have to win, just because it's heavily featured in a bunch of important plot points and story cutscenes

save the queen is kinda cool, too, but i'm not a big ff9 fan

yeah, i felt like my losses were due to incorrect play rather than a poor deck this time around

my only deckbuilding problem was that i didn't have enough answers to flyers. i was low on removal and didn't have many flyers of my own

one of my losses was due to poor play (will be putting a die on my deck to remind me to use EoT abilities), but the other was due to serra angel + that double dragon kicker swinging for too much

i was really torn between putting 16 and 17 in my deck, but thankfully this format was pretty slow and maybe i was lucky with land draws, plus i had the 3 mana generators in my deck.

if i didn't draw my removal flyers just kinda ruined me unfortunately

Kazarov, Sengir Pureblood
Torgaar, Famine Incarnate
Thorn Elemental
Whisper, Blood Liturgist
2x The Mending of Dominaria (this is why i didn't need as many lands i guess)
2x Slimefoot, the Stowaway
The Eldest Reborn
a bunch of saproling generators
removal
8 forests
7 (or 8 maybe i can't remember) swamp
