Congrats!!! <3

I considered it!!! 😂 But at the very least, True Colors HAD to get a spot, and if I'm ruining the joke anyways... But ISAT did at least get the place of honor as #1. 💕

A 3 by 3 grid of video games cover arts. The titles are In Stars and Time, Life is Strange: True Colors, Citizen Sleeper, In Other Waters, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, Night in the Woods, Halo 3: ODST, Journey, and Portal.

9 games that describe who I am. 💜

My genres are evidently "hurt me emotionally", "therian/therian-but-robot", "flashbacks are a narrative device in which -", and Portal.

This list is... Accurate enough, but I can't shake the feeling I'm forgetting something, so definitely an asterisk to it.

Hi @wotcmatt.bsky.social, can I poke you about this again? Or maybe pitch it to @wotcjess.bsky.social if you might have more bandwidth for rules questions at the moment? Also, welcome to Bluesky!

Sort of! It only untaps the creature that was targeted, not any other; Legends (this card) are basically emblems, not creatures themselves; and "conquering" a battlefield mostly maps to "surviving a combat phase" (with some caveats).

It's uncomfortable how much you sound like a conspiracy theorist, keeping up with the news. Like...

Turns out there IS a billionaire pedophiliac cult manipulating world governments. Epstein helped kick off and fund the anti-trans movement. It was strategized in a dozen sloppily misspelled emails.

Side note, while I said these cases are different, technically I'm arguing 614.12 does the same thing in both: it ignores the type-changing effect during lookahead. Just, for different reasons. Results differ because the defaults differ.

Blame post limits, I don't have room for nuance in my explan-

... since they're not characteristics or effects. Impending are creatures by default; changing that requires the ability AND the counter.

Grist is noncreature by default. Its static changes that, but 614.12 only includes abilities in predictions if they "would apply on the battlefield".

(2/2)

Per Arena, Dress Down beats Grist. You said that likely uses the same argument as Impending vs Dress Down, where they enter as creatures w. no counters.

I think they're different. The "noncreature" part of Impending fails lookahead because 614.12 can't include counters in predictions ...

(1/2)

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Sorry to bother, but I wanted to follow up on this point from the Grist question back in November, if you have bandwidth?

I've been counting the days to this game's release since November, I'm SO excited for it!! 💕

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

ah yes, magic's time honored tradition of going "hey we just received one of the best arts we've ever received, do we have any bulk commons that need artwork??"

Going in with no prior knowledge of the story, I enjoyed it a lot!

But I WAS pretty surprised at the narrative decision with the flashback near the end. Revealing his justification and the corruption defangs some tension sooner than I expected. It makes more sense that it's a few episodes combined.

The City of Tears really is a jaw-dropping moment in that game. They do such a good job building atmosphere. 💜

A photo of a letter addressed to Equifax Information Services. The text begins "I have submitted the attached documents to you twelve times previously..." Followed by a list of dates between December 2022 and August 2023.

Siiiiiiiiigh...

Equifax can I please just be DONE with this?

Sometimes having a mononym is fun. Other times, it's "we just need you to submit your verification documents oooone more tiiiime..." for the twelfth time. 🫠

Everything's relative - at least this was all regular cards, without any vanguard nonsense! That one took assembling 8 cards to fully test under ""normal"" constraints.

Compared to some esoterica still wedged into dark corners of the CR, I feel like Spy Kit questions are practically tame!

... it asks if "there are eight or more different names among unlocked Rooms you control." That's significantly different!

This template seems to be counting unique names, not comparing objects for likeness. So it shouldn't matter if those names all belong to one object, right?

(4/4)

Having the "same name" or a "different name" should be mutually exclusive, then, based on the test in 201.2c. Meaning an object can never "have a different name than itself".

But Promising Stairs doesn't ask if "unlocked Rooms you control have eight or more different names among them,"...

(3/4)

Rules for "same/different names" are written to assume two or more objects being compared...

But Surgical Extraction demonstrates that objects have the same name as themselves! The targeted card is only exiled if you find it during your search, it's not in the "exile them" group by default.

(2/4)

Hey @wotcmatt.bsky.social! Promise this one's more reasonable than the MoJhoSto "attach" scenario.

If I animate Promising Stairs and equip it with Spy Kit, does the upkeep trigger win the game even if it's the only unlocked Room I control?

(1/4)

Arc Raiders and Expedition 33 won best multiplayer and game of the year despite using genAI. Never been happier to not give a shit about The Game Awards.

Sucks to see people fold on anti-AI stances if the game is good enough; reminds me of the "trans allies" who justified buying Hogwarts Legacy.

Appreciate you taking the time for it (and to reply)!

Obviously this won't really happen outside of the MoJhoSto bug that started this.

But it hints at some engine issues with "attach": attaching to a noncreature and a card attaching to itself should fail, not attach and immediately detach, and neither should cancel the reconfigure type change.

(5/5)

While testing, we found other gaps.

Balan Wandering Knight; Cytoshape; Lion Sash; Puresteel Paladin; Leonin Shikari

1. Equipment besides Luxior don't STAY attached, but Grafted Wargear proves it briefly was
2. Balan vs. Kazuul's Toll Collector behave differently (due to Balan's self-equip?)

(4/5)

The rules for "attach" don't have a lookahead function that would make Luxior's "[it] is a creature" relevant - they're testing "can/can't attach" purely on current characteristics. Attempting to attach Luxior should fail, since it can't attach to a noncreature permanent (301.5).

(3/5)

This was found with the Stonehewer Giant Avatar (MoJhoSto) creating a token copy of Cloudsteel Kirin; which both attaches to a creature and causes another trigger; which creates a token copy of Luxior; which attached to Kirin, turning it back into a creature. That last part shouldn't happen.

(2/5)

I have a VERY weird one for you @wotcmatt.bsky.social. Thanks @dr-alesha.bsky.social and @katetwo.bsky.social for finding/testing this!

On MODO, attaching an equipment to a reconfigurable equipment that's currently equipped SUCCEEDS (... sort of), detaching it from whatever it's equipping.
