See, the problem is, Social Justice and poor quality are synonymous. It's happening to video games, it's happening to comics, and now it looks like it's happening to MTG. The problem, fundamentally, is that rather than focus on making a product that is good, the Social Justice. mentality focuses on making a product that is morally correct. And I'm not even going to go into why the latter alienates people, the vast majority of us have seen the shitty, cringeworthy attempts by Christians to make their own "moral" substitute for things they deem "immoral." It's the same think with Social Justice.

Last one for now, I swear.That's the part that always kills me. They are so hypocritical, almost to the point of parody. It's always one rule one for, another rule for another. They constantly use accusations of racism and sexism to shame and bully people, yet they're easily the most racist and sexist group in the West (well, the Migrant Crisis in Europe may be giving them competition in that area). Like, when the GITS movie was announced, and the Major was going to be played by a white woman, every SJW was flipping their lid. "[race] character should have a [race] actor!" they scream at the top of their lungs. But I sure as fuck didn't see them say that when Roland from Dark Tower was changed to a black man. Nope, totally OK (even though him being black fucks with another character, so now they have to change more just to compensate for that). In fact, they would say you were racist if you said anything against it. Oh my fuck this stuff pisses me off. And understand that I'm a liberal, I hate them even more for the fact that they have made my side look like a joke, and they only strengthen the opposition (eg. Trump). They're like Bizarro Midas: Everything they touch turns to shit.

It's all history repeating: people love power, they get kicks out of hurting others, and will think up any ridiculous theory to justify it after the fact. We've seen "Separate but equal" in the US, communists slaughtering people for the "greater good", and now it's intersectional theory to justify spite towards whites. Given, the circumstances of this spite was different, but the historic trend is just playing out as usual.

Progressive liberals of today would have been the Jim Crow racists of the past. People will jump on any bandwagon that lets them spit on, insult and beat the shit out of a "lesser class". Everybody wants to be in power.

It's biological, at least to an extent. We see the same behavior in chickens and lobsters. It's just that chickens don't have to justify their pecking order. Humans actually care about ethics and the feelings of others, so they need curtains of theory to allow them to be evil.

The sad thing is, a lot of these people are well-meaning, they just can't see the negative consequences of their ideology, and they've been indoctrinated to ignore anyone who tells them that it's awful. It really is a cult. In fact, I was a bit SJW years ago. Bit yeah, it was the irrational hatred of other people that drove me away, especially the "cis-scum" thing. And this is why I like 4chan.

Not really. He makes some good points, he makes some bad points. I can see why some people like him. As for me, I just look at the fact that the man has zero political experience.

If he gets into office? Well, that's not the worst thing that could happen. He's better than Hillary. I'm probably voting Sanders.

He's actually been involved in politics since the 80s, so that's not quite true. He also doesn't need it. What people don't get is that he can hire advisers, and hire people to have political experience for him. Which he's done. How do you think he was able to navigate the ye olde archaic rat maze that is the Republican primary? His campaign staff are some of the best, if not the best, political minds in the world today.

Funny thing that, actually, I'd rather see Sanders over Hilary too. Even if I disagree with his ideas, he is at least honest about them. Hilary's just a miserable little pile of secrets.

Yes. She's a scheming, corporatist demagogue. As egotistical as Trump appears in public I bet you Hillary is in private. And yes, the honesty. I've heard it pointed out a few times that Sanders and Trump are both important due to their lack of corporate puppet-strings. And honesty is a great trait in a politician, at least for the governed. Are you really secure with someone who lies to your face? Again, I can see the positive appeal for Trump, and that's a big part of it. Someone who says what he thinks and doesn't care what other people think about him. Those are traits I would want in anyone who wishes to protect the freedom of speech. "You can say your thing, I can say mine."

Sanders and Trump are in different boats though. Sanders may not be funded by corporate interests, but a huge, huge chunk of his funding comes from unions. He is biased, just in a different direction. Trump, on the other hand, is self funded which means he is biased towards literally one direction: himself. There are no perfect politicians but it's nice to have two that are non status quo.

Well, yeah, everyone's going to be biased towards their own political views, I can accept that. It was just annoying that every single big-name politician seemed to owe favors to the very people they are supposed to be policing. I mean, as far as unions go, I would generally be in favor of support for them. They are composed of the very same citizens the politicians are supposed to look after, instead of giant corporations that exploit loopholes for maximum gain to themselves and minimum gain for everyone else. That said, I do realize that there have been times were unions have gotten out of hand. And I totally think they should be monitored, just like the big corporations.

>>47823836

>They are composed of the very same citizens the politicians are supposed to look after, instead of giant corporations that exploit loopholes for maximum gain to themselves and minimum gain for everyone else.
Gotta stop you on this one; they're both citizens. People that run corporations are the same as people that run unions, and they are both seeking what is best for their own personal gains (I'd reckon there is exactly the same percentage of charity-loving, ethical people at the top of corporations and the top of unions). The only divide is that business leaders have their personal gain restricted by government intervention, and union leaders use government intervention explicitly for their personal gain. At least, when we're talking about "corrupt" versions of both.

The government has a responsibility to protect every citizen, whether they are a private or public sector employee.
>>
>>47824056
Yeah, this is definitely were we split up. My views on corporations versus unions stems from the following belief: People with more power are more likely to abuse their power than people with less power. Obviously, this means my belief is that corporations are far more likely to abuse their employees and customers than a union is to abuse its privileges. And while I'm not a fan of abuse of power at all, if I were just forced to choose, I think I would choose the abuse of lesser power.

>they're both citizens
Have you ever heard of corporate personhood?

>>47824231
>People with more power are more likely to abuse their power than people with less power.

So, considering government is the most powerful thing in any given society (only entity "legally" allowed the use of lethal force), you'd choose to be a corporation over a union because unions exploit government power?


>Have you ever heard of corporate personhood?

No. A union gets power from a government and other sources, but it doesn't contain that power in and of itself. I want to point out that I'm not an idiot who thinks a complex problem can be solved with a simple answer that fits on a bumper sticker. At the end of the day, part of what I want from a government is to help the abused and punish the abusers, doesn't matter who they are, union or corporate. My problem with corporations is that they have a very bad track record when it comes to abusing people. They have enough power to influence the system that should be punishing them for their misdeeds. And this idea of imperfect systems isn't something I lay at the feet of corporations, it's something I lay at the feet of humanity. We make systems designed with certain outcomes in mind. And then other humans come in and find ways to exploit and break those systems. For example, the free market. A great idea when it works as intended. Not so great when you get things like monopolies. The faults of the free market aren't exactly even faults of the free market in and of itself, but rather those consequences that occur when the free market is manipulated to produce unintended outcomes. This is why we need at least some degree of control in these systems. Checks and balances, rewards and punishments. Something to account for our devious minds. And don't get me wrong, these people exist everyone. From lawyers and bankers to the union reps and food stamp collectors. And these people won't just stop existing. They'll always exist. And our system must always be able to adapt to these people. A complex answer to a complex problem.

So what happens when a government abuses?

I was going to talk about how unstable + ephemeral monopolies are in free markets, how you can't get corruption in a free market without governments (lobbyists, patent law etc.) but I think that question gets out everything I'd want to say.

The only other thing I'd add is that you mention the free market a ton in the context of it being an idea, like that people thought of it somewhere in the 1500s and just decided to try out. Not the case. Free trade existed, and worked, long before economic or political theory.

You keep making it sound as though the government is the devil and the corporations are innocent saints. The corporations are the one corrupting the government. Again, power exploited on a system. You have two systems, the watcher and the watched. The watched corrupts the watcher, and you say the watcher is the problem? The watched cannot be trusted. That is why they are watched. Any philosophy built on the belief that people naturally act from the goodness of their hearts is, frankly, moronic. This is why libertarianism, anarchy, and communism are all terrible fucking ideas. They fail to account for devious minds. They think opening up a system frees people, but then there's nothing to protect them from the exploiters. One exploiter can abuse many people. This is the problem.

>The only other thing I'd add is that you mention the free market a ton in the context of it being an idea, like that people thought of it somewhere in the 1500s and just decided to try out. Not the case. Free trade existed, and worked, long before economic or political theory.

who watches the watcher?

At any rate;
People in the government exploit corporations, not the other way around. Individuals in government take bribes to fill their pockets without having to provide any real value. Corporations earn money by providing real value to people, governments exploit this value through forced taxation + opportunity for bribery. From an economic standpoint, government is only ever a net negative to society. The only reason corporations have to "corrupt" government to begin with is because government is a barrier to corporate success, and corporate leaders have to find ways around these barriers or they literally collapse. Of course, if corporations try to get around this government blockade without "corruption", then the government shuts them down by force and probably arrests everybody involved with the business.

>Any philosophy built on the belief that people naturally act from the goodness of their hearts is, frankly, moronic.
>They think opening up a system frees people, but then there's nothing to protect them from the exploiters.
So you are saying that people are so dumb and fragile that they are completely incapable of protecting themselves, so they need a government to do the protecting for them? That sounds mightily like comic book sci-fi dystopian dictator talk to me.

Refer back to my original "devil and saints" analogy. Quick question: If Satan--I'm sorry, the government--so desperately wants the saints--sorry again, corporations--to bribe them... why is it illegal? Why would they make something they want to happen punishable by law? If these people were caught doing this, they would be punished by people in positions of authority their system has invented using rules their system wrote. How in the fuck do you justify this in your mind?

>So you are saying that people are so dumb and fragile that they are completely incapable of protecting themselves, so they need a government to do the protecting for them?
What's stopping someone from walking up to you and beating you to death in broad daylight? Oh, the police. Because the police will capture them, then punish them by the laws of the government. Now, what's stopping someone from walking up to you and beating you to death in Somalia? Oh, nothing. And now you're dead. Why would you want to live in a system like this? This is a system where the strong crush the weak, and there is nothing for the weak to protect them. This is why we have our governments. Some freedom is sacrificed for safety. Don't like it? Go to Somalia.
>That sounds mightily like comic book sci-fi dystopian dictator talk to me.
I'm never going to get through to you. A system with no control is a terrible one. There is nothing to stop the strong from crushing the weak in such a system. Your entire outlook on the world is, simply, utopian. And you don't even seem to realize it. Your expectations of people are so unrealistic. If every single person on the planet were moral, logical, benevolent, and humanist, your philosophy would make sense. But that's just not the case. I'm sorry, but the world is not as you think it is.

>how you can't get corruption in a free market without governments
By the way, I want to point out that this statement basically boils down to "You can't have corruption without a government." Which is just a snowclone. I mean... yes, that is true. But that doesn't really mean anything other than pointing to the definitions of words. You're trying to imply that corruption, which we all know is a bad thing, is something inherent in government, which makes government a bad thing. But that's simply not true. Corruption is something that happens to a government, yes, so removing it removes corruption. But that doesn't make it a core part of government.

Let's try this with something else. "You can't have rape without sex." Which is true, rape is defined as sex without consent. But that doesn't say anything about sex. You could even replace "rape" with "STDs" it doesn't change anything.

>Do you know what voting is for?
To placate the masses? At any rate, I sure wish the EU knew what it was for :'^)

>why is it illegal?
To placate the masses, of course! Do you think any reasonable percentage of politicians that accept bribes actually get arrested? Consider Hilary.

>What's stopping someone from walking up to you and beating you to death in broad daylight?
I know kung fu actually. They'd need a knife at least, or a reasonable deal of training. If it was legal to carry where I live, I would have a gun to stop them *and* know kung fu! Beat that, random street thug. Except the government won't let me carry a gun, so I can't protect myself as well as I would want to. So yeah, I guess you could say that because the government would arrest me for protecting myself...

>Oh, the police.
But also not true. Police response time to a crime is anywhere around ~10-30 minutes. Any committed person could kill anybody else within that window.

>Because the police will capture them, then punish them by the laws of the government.
Vigilantism would do that just fine if the police didn't catch & arrest people for it. Because only those in silly costumes with magic badges can exact justice, right?

>A system with no control is a terrible one.
Free markets have control. It is consumer demand.

>There is nothing to stop the strong from crushing the weak in such a system.
Good! That's how you improve things. A business provides a better, cheaper service than another business so the worse business goes under. Cars destroy the horse-drawn carriage, and yeah some horse breeders suffer but who cares we have cars now! Video killed the radio star etc. etc. etc.

>>47830925
> You're trying to imply that corruption, which we all know is a bad thing, is something inherent in government, which makes government a bad thing.
People are inherently corruptible
Governments are made of people. Therefor etc.

>But that doesn't make it a core part of government.
Government is literally people that did not earn money taking money from people that earned it by gunpoint or threat of imprisonment. Sounds like a corrupt entity to me.

-

Any checks & balances that the government puts on itself, it is perfectly acceptable to assume people without a government would do it to themselves. People in and out of government are, actually for real, both the same species. Adding an extra layer to the oversight doesn't do anything that a single layer would do just fine (and with less of a cost-burden to society).

Your sex analogy mostly doesn't mean anything so I won't comment on it.

Nope, made of people. The difference is motivation. Government gets money at gunpoint so they are not accountable to anybody (One election every 5 years? Wooooooah!). At least, they aren't accountable until they do something so blasphemously, explicitly evil they spark a revolution. We're talkin' babies killing babies inside the womb type stuff here. Corporations earn money by providing a valuable service that other people willingly pay for. Doesn't matter if you are evil or good, corrupted or pure, if your only means of success is to provide a quality service, then you provide a quality service. People respond to incentive, that's all it is.

Nice le ad hominem face tho. Glad to see when defending your religion, your mighty faith in government, in funny people that gather together in a special building, wear silly costumes and discuss the nature of reality, you resort to frumpy scatheflinging.

If you have your way, you will create a hell on Earth, and you will gladly do so under the approval of your own conscience. What will you have to say for all those innocents who are hurt by your actions? No, never mind, you'll probably justify it in your own twisted way, saying they deserve it because they're part of that group or the other. You're a fucking maniac. You are my enemy and I will always oppose you. For all that is necessary for people like you to triumph is for people like me to do nothing.

Government doesn't exist. There is no part of nature that demands it, no law of the universe that states it. It is a state of mind and nothing else, just religion under a different name. You rename churches to parliaments, popes to presidents, but it's the same structure of faith. So yeah, there's some reason.

I, when given the choice between bending dogmatic to an unreal entity & simply enjoying reality, would choose simple reality every time.

Actually, technically this is more of a discussion of economics & ethics. Predicting the future, considering the complexity of the human system, is pretty much impossible. Government is an unethical entity that is a net burden on economy. If you remove government, economy will thrive (We've seen this happen before many, many times. America overtaking the world's economies, the German economic miracle post-WW2, current-day Switzerland etc. Consistently throughout the world & history, the countries with the smallest governments have had the highest standard of living).

>If you have your way, you will contribute monumentally to the suffering of millions.
So, what kind of ratio do you think we'd get if we compared the total death toll of all governments in history to the total death toll of all corporations in history?

Actually though, as economies thrive in the absence of government, standard of living for all classes goes up. The poor get access to cheaper, better basic products. The wealthy drive innovation through investment. Again, this isn't a fantasy. We've seen this constantly through history.

Besides, it doesn't have Haste. On its own, you can't use it to enable itself.

It's not that you are merely expressing any simple idea I happen to disagree with, such as saying you prefer one soda that I dislike. It is the fact your specific idea will have adverse effects that you do not want to acknowledge, coupled with the fact that, despite what you may think, you have some say this country's future merely by being a citizen. Your decisions and beliefs will affect this country in negative ways that will only pull us back into the past. You want us to regress. And you are too willfully ignorant to realize it.

This is exactly what the SJWs say. Except nobody is being oppressed. What sane people call "taxation" you call "oppression" because the people who have lied to you have told you that taxes are some evil tool the greedy government officials use to siphon money away from everyone else just because they can. One benefit of taxes is healthcare. Government provided healthcare helps people who normally can't afford to pay their medical bills. What do you say to those people whose quality of life dramatically plunges because they can't get their medication? Oh, will the saintly corporations help them? But why would they? Corporations are made to make money. Why give something to someone who can't pay for it? What apologetics do you have lodged in your brain to explain that?

>Prove it.
There is no better form of government than democracy. Every other form has been tried. None of them have ever had the same successes as democracy. Democratic states have the best quality of life hands down. But you would rather live in fucking Somalia. Please, just go there. You want to live in your little government-free utopia? Go to Somalia.

The second and third abilities actually work against each other. If you want to get value from the second ability, you play a land that produces a different color (for example, you could have access to WW or 1U if you played an island after an Andisol Fields).
For the third ability, you have to play lands that match the color of one of these lands, which negates the value of the second ability.
Both abilities could be used if you play a lot of dual lands, but most dual lands come with their own extra price to pay, and color fixing becomes irrelevant if your playing that many lands that produce multiple colors already.

Sorry if that was a bit long winded, but I felt like giving you my thoughts on how I balanced these lands.

>Heroic — Whenever you cast a spell that targets Akroan Crusader, put a 1/1 red Soldier creature token with haste onto the battlefield.
Why is Akroan Crusader not broken (it might actually be, I didn't play at all during the Theros season at all so I don't know), then?
Well, my guess is that the trigger condition being Heroic makes it harder for it to net you card advantadge.
You will usually get tokens only when playing combat tricks or Auras and you won't have a lot of them (yes, I know there was Bestow, yet still).
And it can even be play around by not blocking it or attacking into it so it can't get card advantadge by playing combat tricks or Auras (with the exception of Bestow).

That's my thoughts on why "your" card is still too powerful to be common.

Should be "put into exile," if I'm not mistaken. I also don't think you need the reveal clause, since exile is a public zone. Not sure though, with face-down exiling being a thing.

You're allowed to look at exiled face-down cards only if the ability lets you to, even if you're the owner. You also can't have abilities trigger from private zones (like face-down exile).

Just have it care only if it's exiled face-up.

You could just reuse the Conspiracy template - Conspiracies don't all have to be one shot advantages.

The Quests themselves vary wildly in power. Necromancer's Rise for example is nuts since you don't have to go out of your way to enable it. Ignimancer's is similar. You should develop them as if they were enchantments at the same CMC, just without the mana cost.

The front half is so inconsequential that you can remove incarnate and just have the elemental bit be its default ability.

>>47866833
Untapping all of your lands is not a cheap ability, especially not in conjunction with animating all of them simultaneously. Straight untapping alone is a minimum, MINIMUM five mana.
>>
>>47866913
... I figured moving the untap to be explicitly into the "If it is a token ability" would be clear enough

Remove the ETB, put it into the Incarnate ability. Cleans card text, makes it simpler. You also get a card that fits into constructed decks better; a cheap beater and a late game threat as opposed to a useless late game 6-mana 2/2.
>>
>>47866967
>I figured moving the untap to be explicitly into the "If it is a token ability" would be clear enough
You never said that, man. You said to make it a cheap 2/2, then to combine the abilites into one singular ETB, and specifically not the token one.

As for doing so, I will consider it. I like the flexibility of cost it presents, but I worry that making it too cheap will enable it to be abused with "put a token that's a copy" effects, which show up in the set a fair amount.

It seems legendary to me. Also, i would have it put a counter on the enchantment for each exile. Adds counterplay and let's you track the number easier instead of having to remember what cards are exiled with it.

>>47867446
>Add counters
The initial version had time counters, but manipulating them to draw tons of cards for little cost just seemed too easy. As for keeping track, it's as simple as putting the cards exiled by it underneath it.
>>
>>47867490
Manipulating the counters on an enchantment isn't that likely unless you build around it, and even then enchantments are slow and this requires something to die and for you to pay mana to draw anything.

Not to mention that you have to exile your own cards to use this, and if it's destroyed your stuff is gone forever and you get no benefit from it anymore.
