so much of the discourse gets easier to parse when you realize most of the guys complaining literally grew up on bad translations and are thus no longer capable of realizing english sentences aren't supposed to be structured like that

Early 2000s translations had issues, but I bet the source text is different between these two as well (as in the Japanese text got updated for the remake). Also, I find it funny how nostalgia is mentioned in the 1998 screenshot and that’s exactly what’s affecting people here xD
Can't feel *too* bad for the people who get to work on the translation for a huge game like this, but they have my sympathy re: nostalgic people who think the stilted and confusing original lines here are "pure poetry" or whatever

took top 4 in the Pioneer Showcase Challenge (168 players) with this deck. Qualified for the Showcase next month. Grabbed a list at random, had to read every other card I drew my first few games, ha ha. Didn't expect to do nearly this well, just wanted to spend excess QP.

Vintage Challenge (downgraded to 24-man) Snuck into top 8 and split the finals. Set is 120 bucks, so was a decent split. Dredge - LL Bye MWI - LWW UB Tinker - WW Squee - LL 3-2 top 8, 8th seed Jewel - WLW Raker - LWW SPLIT

Tested Null Rod as I got one in paper, but it wasn't great. Having consistent Turn 1 interaction against Jewel is extremely important. I'll test it a little more, but it's probably better as another Consign.

The us government is so corrupt and bullshit. Voting won’t solve anything. What we really need is a gorilla whos super smart and from the moon. He can have a shield and also a lightning canon thing. And he should jump high.
