Honestly? Tumblr.
A lot of the people on 4chan will act like unapologetic assholes, but at least they’re not self-righteous about it. And, if shown legitimate proof of something, (based on what I’ve seen) they’ll usually accept it, whereas Tumblr prefers to pass around bogus statistics, and cling to emotional pleas, rather than logic.
4chan often behaves like idiots, but they’re aware that they’re behaving like idiots. That’s the whole point. People go there to be anonymous assholes on purpose. Meanwhile, Tumblr is filled with bullies and rejects that think they’re doing the world a goddamn favor by acting like snide, entitled little shit mongers.
4chan will call you a “faggot” regardless of gender identity, which appears to be generally understood to the point where no one even gives a shit anymore.
Tumblr becomes irrationally outraged when you somehow don’t already magically know the “preferred pronouns” of someone you hadn’t even heard of before, even when these “pronouns” are complete crocks of shit like “bunself”, or “princesself”. They then become indignant if you don’t fall to your knees and cater to every last one of their demented little demands, and treat them like the extra special little snowflake that they think they are.
4chan fields obvious inflammatory comments with relative ease, simply by dismissing them as stupid, humoring them for a laugh, or ignoring them from the start. When vitriol does happen, at least it’s mostly reserved to two morons having a witless tennis match of words while everyone else goads them on for the sake of entertainment.
Tumblr takes every goddamn thing as though it’s deadly fucking serious, to the point where people are afraid to voice their opinions on their favorite cookies, lest it somehow “offends” someone.
4chan will bust your nuts until you can prove a claim you’ve made.
Tumblr will gladly make viral the “news” that the sky has suddenly turned neon green, and is raining Nickelodeon Gak - if there’s enough of an emotional, impassioned plea to do so. Especially if they claim their “child” or “younger sibling” saw (and was upset by) this “incident”.
If you like something, and express it, 4chan will tell you it’s terrible just to piss you off.
Do this on Tumblr, and someone will claim you’re “oppressing them” simply because they don’t happen to like it. Then, through emotional manipulation, they try to spread the mindset that you’re somehow “scum” just for enjoying something that they don’t.
While I wouldn’t recommend it as a place to go to “have fun”, 4chan has actually become more welcoming than tumblr at this point.
And that’s just fucking sad.

Spock is definitely blue. Kirk from the reboot is definitely red with a touch if white.

Thraximundar is a scary, death-dealing, undead freak who rides across Grixis (and now, probably, the rest of Alara) slaying everything. When he shows up, people get dead. He’s just really, really good at killing. It’s what his high school guidance counselor told him he should do, it’s what he gravitated to at Career Day, and it’s what his therapist encouraged him to return to after he briefly took up ikebana. That’s the sense of “assassin” that’s meant by his creature type, and that’s the flavor of his death-causin’ attack trigger.

I never say never but there’s not tons of design space there that interests me.
I can’t help but notice that devotion is like “equal to the number of nonland permanents you control” but with the twist that some permanents can count as two instances or three of that number, or not counted toward that number.
Just given the sheer size of this series of reblogs I cannot blame EQD one iota for choosing not to discuss anything relating to pinkiepony.
I’ve noticed that her fanclub and her detractors have a toxic, polarizing effect on every issue they tussle over, and it ultimately always devolves into a giant muck-raking, hotly contested shouting match (as evidenced above.)
Seth is probably more than well aware of the repercussions he would likely face if he were to appear even remotely sympathetic to either side of “the great pinkie schism.” Appearing favorable to one side means incurring certain wrath from the other.
“A Strange game. The only winning move is not to play.”
It’s probably not the best strategy in the universe, but doing anything at all will likely mean wading blindly into a steaming pool of shit either way.
I can’t believe I just read that entire argument. I could have done twenty thousand other things with that time.
I agree with EQD. Pinkiepony needs to find a hole and just lay low and stop adding fuel to the fire. Maybe some time off will make the blazes die down. Edit: I liked APM and I thought it was too raunchy in the beginning. But over time it got tame. I’m still waiting for the archive download.

I do love low hanging fruit. : )
On a serious note, there’s nothing wrong with doing the obvious things that players expect as long as they play well.
This, of course, requires me asking. When we finally do the wedge set, what do all of you expect to see in it?
That’s why I’d rather have flavor make sets. As of right now the only real reason I’ve seen why people want a wedge themed plane is so they can have more EDH cards. I’d rather have more flavorful idea inspire a block than “Wedge mechanics!”
