    Funny (or sad) I go away for months, come back and Twin is still being attacked. From what I gather its nowhere near as strongly placed in the meta as it was earlier in the year when it was winning all over the place.

    Leave Twin alone! Frown

    Even combined with the Grixis build, its still not over Jund (woo! for jund coming back strong) if I remember correctly.

    yeah , 3 in this set seems logical, as they will leave more space in the second set.

    My guess is that UR and GB won't be in this set, as they're the most anticipated ones


    A fair (if saddening!) guess.

    This is one of the few arts which gives a positive atmosphere.


    Yeah, I like it for 'WG dual land'.

    I'm pumped for the cycle, considering I'm getting out of some other hobbies I may dump stupid amounts of cash into this block...

    Looks like we won't be getting all of the enemy manlands in BFZ; some will be in OGW (per Blogatog).

    Ugh.


    Ugh indeed! Spreads the value over the block I guess. :/

    I was surprised actually that the games played out so well. I was afraid it would be land a creature - pump - dead. It didnt play out like that at all though.

    Perfect, not too much has changed (other than % of the meta, everyone was calling for a twin ban!) which is good I guess. :]

    Hey Guys, I've had UR Twin for a good while, but took a break. While I read through the thread was anything added in the last 3 releases I should be looking for?

  • posted a message on Is raising children with religion child abuse?
    Quote from rockondon »

    Anyways, as to the topic, religion is not abusive but indoctrination is. The thing is, indoctrination usually comes in the form of religious indoctrination.


    This indeed.

    I was raised religions, as where my siblings. I'm the oldest, and left the faith first. I'm a pretty logical person, and despite various attempts at guilt tripping me into staying, I eventually declared I was out of the church, and they would leave me to make my choice, or I was out of their lives.

    My parents relented. The rest of my siblings grew, left the church, went back, and have suffered guilt over their choices their entire lives. This is similar to many of the experiences my friends from the church encountered (one just sent me a message on facebook, we haven't spoken in years, proclaim how he is finally free!) however my parents where young, and more liberal. In the households that where more hardline on things, there was abuse for talking back, abuse for even thinking of leaving, and in the most extreme cases, being disowned.

    Religion - A religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence.
    Indoctrination - Indoctrination is the process of inculcating ideas, attitudes, cognitive strategies or a professional methodology (see doctrine).[1] Indoctrination is a critical component in the transfer of cultures, customs, and traditions from one generation to the next.

    Some distinguish indoctrination from education, claiming that the indoctrinated person is expected not to question or critically examine the doctrine they have learned.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoctrination

    Religion when taught to children, imo, always borders on indoctrination. If I told my son as a child 'the sky is green' he would believe me. If I told him to perform in a certain manner, or a Sky Man would be disappointed with him and may send him to suffer eternally...well he would believe me.

    Thats abusive, when it comes to adulthood, and attempting to extract oneself from a Religion you no longer believe in.

    Serum Visions. Is not there.

    Pitchforks up.
    Everyone take to twitter.


    Damn, this for real. I was really hoping for Serum Visions.

    Well, here's hoping for Origins. Or BFZ. Or FNM. It's such a big oversight that I am sure we will see it in the next 4 months.


    Agreed. Seemed like a perfect card to drop in here. Either way, I imagine this will still sell like mad, there are plenty of good cards in the set.
