[Furiosas of Salvation] - Beta Max

Am I the only one who thinks that a lot of the men who argue for this cause so vehemently, in secret, are interested in getting more women in the game solely out of a selfish desire to increase their odds of getting a "cool gamer girlfriend?" I mean, that's essentially the definition of a...

[Furiosas of Salvation] - Beta Max

I haven't read the other article, but there's been a LOT around reddit and other places recently about women in magic, and preferential treatment has been one of the main things that a lot of big voices are calling for, so I don't see it as in poor taste at all. Then again, I don't ever see arguing ...

Davis said, essentially, "Hey, it's actually kinda sexist/racist/whateverist to treat people differently on the basis of their sex/race/whatever, even if it's preferential treatment. In the case of women in magic, we should celebrate those who show exceptional performance, on par with others wh...

Hey, wife...we've been married a decade, but it's time to send you packing. Because reasons.

Now, do I keep the kids, or send them with her? Or even more devious, send her packing, THEN send them packing?

I seriously doubt we won't go back at all, but I'm not dying to go play magic. The GP left a pretty bad taste in my mouth, but we've also put quite a bit of time and money into the hobby to just drop it permanently.

Pack per win?

Yep. And it's like, $13-14 entry.

It's crap...but it's what we have.

At pack per win, sure...winning is fun, but the experience is the bigger deal. This is how we often spend our Friday night out, so playing the same deck repeatedly just to win three packs isn't completely amazeballs.
