"It seems to me most Americans here know what's going on"

1/3 didn't vote and a 1/3 voted for this. so by no definition do most people have a fucking clue.

you mean like they already are?

most of them would say he was joking. because they're a professionally fuckface whisperer.

the ones that did as asked would get vaguely appreciation of their loyalty from trump himself.

gaming has clearly angling towards skinner box design since mmos got big. you're not a customer, just an atm to be looted for every penny.

this is all song and dance. trust nothing that is said that remotely sounds good for their opposition.

40% of people are in a cult, got it.

exactly. but you can't just keep farming UB forever. you need to onboard them into the ecosystem and keep them hooked in. time will tell if these people only cared about their specific media or if enough latch on to mtg the game.

so i sold out of mtg around covid and they started committing to "universe beyond". but all signs point to their stupid shit being profitable for the time being. and the new UB stuff will now be going through standard will help their new player onboarding a bit.

they've unbanned cards in the past. most recently(not in this ban/unbanning) mox opal and splinter twin in modern. SFM and mind sculptor were also unbanned years ago. unbanning cards is not unheard of.

"close to the game" doesn't know that this is definitely not the first time they've done this.

modern mind sculptor unbanned years ago and saw little play. SFM. more recently mox opal and splinter twin.

unbannings are just admitting that power creep has surpassed the level those cards were at previously.
