    I guess what I am saying is... people bitched a lot about everything to do with the xbox one launch, and I don't get it. This game is not a freemium grindy hellhole; its a fantastic racing game.

    I'd still never buy it on principle

    get that freemium shit out of $60 games, bad microsoft

    First and second place are Louisiana and Florida. I'm going to guess that their methodology is just a little bit flawed.

    I mean, if they did the Weatherlight Saga with Urza, Phyrexia, Gerrard and all that lot, it could be pretty cool.

    But no doubt WotC will want to tie it into the current spree of Planeswalkers for monetisation purposes, so it's a toss-up.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    There is no way the MTG movie is not going to suck.
    Honestly, the Urza storyline was, in my opinion, legitimately good fun high fantasy.

    The story since then has been pretty ungrounded without any strong theme, so if they go with something newer, meh.

    I thought Louisiana had a bunch of issues with their whole voucher / charter school paradigm when they realized they can't discriminate against multicultural / Muslim schools.

    Louisiana has about 1/4 of its students ranked "proficient and advanced" in each of the four subjects. It placed first overall.

    Vermont has about 1/2 of its students ranked "proficient and advanced" in each of the four subjects. It placed 49th overall.

    Uhhh...

    I wish there was an actual MMO set in the MTG universe where you could make a planeswalker from like ANY humanoid race and then align with one or two mana colors and then card battle with animated creatures and spells and you level up and unlock better "attunement" to your color and get more spells to cast and stuff!

    Instead we got this

    damage dealt by creatures.

    For example, i could have my 4/4 hit your 4/4 and also sac him for an effect and the damage would still land.

    I looked her up on wikipedia. I didn't recognize the name, but once I saw some of her bio I did remember her. I like this:
    Rhee's first year test scores showed a precipitous drop in her class: Average math percentile dropped from 64% to 17%. Average reading percentile dropped from 37% to 21%

    She seems super qualified to work in education.
