I'm still pretty new to chess, can anyone tell me what I'm supposed to do if my opponent plays the Eight Fucking Bears opening? I'm really having trouble.

Concerning UB Changes

given the recent changes to UB and the massive blowback from a lot of the community, i feel the need to comment on it. these are just opinions, so you can feel free to disagree, just don't be an asshat when replying.

Universes Beyond

personally, I don't have a huge problem with UB. UB sets that fit in the world of magic (e.g D&D Movie SLD, LotR) aren't a huge problem, however I personally found UB was much more fun when it was limited to Secret Lair, or a couple cards interspersed in an in-universe set, with the LotR (you could also claim the D&D sets were UB) set being flavorfully consistent without sacrificing it's image being fine. The problem with UB (and it always has been and always will be) is that it will make WotC more money than a lot of in-universe mtg sets ever will, since it attracts new players that will then spend more money on mtg products. WotC does not need to worry about keeping older players interested in new sets since you are already bought in. and that's the reality of a company driven by sales. regardless of initial creative vision, Hasbro needs to squeeze as much money as possible out of mtg players and prospective mtg players because the execs want a bigger paycheck. this is the same thing that Hasbro tried to do to D&D with the OGL, so if we fight back there's a chance it could be reversed, but i find it significantly less likely.

Maro/Blogatog

so Maro has been trying his best to do damage control with the news, but he is trying to put out a forest fire with a bucket of water. i do think the hate towards Maro is unwarranted. Maro did not make this decision, greedy execs did, and the mtg community seems to just be directing their hate at the guy who they can communicate with. if you want to express your dislike of the UB decision to Maro, don't direct the hate AT him. i can understand why Maro trying to damage control like this seems like he's being a sellout, but you need to remember in the eyes of Hasbro, he is replaceable. additionally, even if Maro individually supports the UB decision/schedule, he wouldn't even be the root cause of the problem, Hasbro still would be.

basically, don't be an ass to Maro, it's not his fault.

Final Thoughts

the UB decision is motivated by greed on Hasbro's part, not the designer's "selling out." there is still love and soul put into the design of mtg, but Hasbro's corporate interests will always hang over any creativity in its properties.

if you want to send a message to WotC, hit them in their pockets. don't buy new magic cards from new sets, UB or not. this includes buying off the secondary market! that is how you change a company's mind.

Good to see a White enjoyer on this blog. I’m so sick of edgelord Nietzsche wannabes defending Black on the grounds of it being “anti-authoritarian” or whatever.

They don't like being held to a standard, so they have to confuse the issue of what a standard even is.

What they want to ignore and conceal is that being a rebel doesn't make you anti-authoritarian. It only means you aren't currently in charge and you don't like whoever is currently in charge.

Shiv Palpatine was a rebel against the old Republic. Not because he thought it was oppressive, but only because it stood in his way of oppressing other people as Emperor Darth Sidious.

There's no one more rebellious than an authoritarian. An anarchist could live peacefully as a hermit, but an authoritarian will not rest until they have at least one other creature to dominate and abuse.

Misery loves company, and authoritarians are miserable.

Authoritarians are quicker than anyone else to scream and cry if their rights and freedoms are threatened or taken away. Because they cannot accept the idea of enduring a personal hardship for the sake of someone else, or trusting that an authority figure needs to lead them through an unpleasant storm to reach a peaceful haven.

But as much as they jealously guard their own freedoms, authoritarians will instantly turn around and claim the people they hate deserve no such rights, and that any society which protects those rights is oppressive because it protects the people they hate and doesn't allow the authoritarian to abuse them with impunity.

White is the Color that desires Peace. By definition, those who gravitate towards Red and Black don't know the meaning of the word "peace". They have no peace in their lives, and Black in particular hates seeing it in the lives of others.

Search for the word "Jealous" and the only card you find is Black. "Covet" returns mostly Black. "Glutton", "Greed", "Hatred", "Spite", "Nihilism", "Torture", dementia, sickness, disease, pain, horror, terror...

There's no peace or love or healthiness or hope in any of that. Only a gaping, howling void with an insatiable appetite. The antithesis of peace. Black can only feel joy through sadism.

I don't know if I could find it again, but I legitimately saw a post on this website that claimed Black was the Color of Hope.

Black includes cards like Abandon Hope, Dash Hope, Eater of Hope, Hopeless Nightmare, Lose Hope, Hope's Demise, Thief of Hope...

Yeah, I don't think Black is on SPEAKING terms with Hope.

Meanwhile, White has Adherents of Hope, Angels of Hope, Avatars of Hope, Enduring Hope, Blazing Hope, Dawn of Hope, Emissary of Hope, Kindler of Hope, Font of Hope, Heron of Hope, Hope Against Hope, Hope Charm...

True to form, Black is a parasite and thief that wants to steal what White creates, and take credit for it, while accusing White of Black's crimes so Black can slip away into the night.

They want to claim they care about other people and White doesn't, but which Color provides spells of healing and protection, and which Color can only steal away the life of others?

Black is at best an anti-hero. When Black is the protagonist, it is the villain-protagonist, or it is heroic only by comparison to a more villainous antagonist.

If White isn't the most heroic Color in the Pie, then heroism loses all meaning.

Which is something that Overly Sarcastic Productions touches on when they say that a superhero universe without a (pure White) character like Superman just doesn't work.

We don't need fictional universes like The Boys to see what the world would be like if superhumans were assholes, because we live in that kind of world right now, at the mercy of the rich and the powerful who either don't care if they step on us or who get their jollies by hurting us.

We need a Superman, or a Spider-Man, or a Luke Skywalker, or some other incorruptible, pure-hearted, well-intentioned, and wise force for GOOD in a world to give us Hope for Peace.

We need WHITE.

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot."

In the days before refrigerators, salt was white gold. Salt was the dependable agent of preservation and disinfection. The expensive substance that use you to protect scarce, life-saving foods from becoming spoiled garbage.

The Hazbin Hotel-ification of the Color Pie and all similar media is taking the salt out of the kitchen, throwing it out on the ground, trampling it underfoot, and then wondering why all of the food STINKS.
