Thanks for the rundown! I'm just doing the "towershell is in every set" meme.

Yes, Quake.
Wouldn't the bottleneck be network latency rather than disk read/write latency? Newer games might expect to do disk IO more frequently than older games made for an era of slower disks.
The RC is talking about people talking about those cards. Bowmasters because it's extremely good AND punishes the same thing [[Hullbreacher]] punished.
Bats is of potential concern because of the sheer density of token creation in recent Magic design.
There's a lot of the toupee fallacy around AI. "AI is powerful and changing the world because it's displacing artists but also nothing to worry about because it can't write a real recipe."
Too much discussion around AI is tunnel visioned on today's versions of technologies in a toupée fallacy sense and not on what is essentially a question of philosophy: How do you truly control something that's smarter than you?
If you believe that human intelligence is the product of physical mechanisms that exist in the brain then you necessarily believe that a synthetic system could do the "same" thing but better, that an artificial superintelligence is possible. Current technologies being abused by individuals/corporations/nations is an old story and a familiar danger. This one is new.
AI safety researchers are thankfully already exploring this area. Whether the answer to the big question is in favor of humanity is another matter.
Where are those being considered for a ban?
We’ve been following the community’s discussions and concerns surrounding Orcish Bowmasters, and – to a lesser extent – Mirkwood Bats. With the help of the Commander Advisory Group, we’ll be observing how and if those discussions change over time as people play and play against these cards.
I've been enjoying Honored Heirloom. A 3mv mana rock that doubles as targeted grave hate.
Would you say you're reanimating the memes from the graveyard or is it more of exiling the meme from your library and being able to play it until end of turn situation?
The Ring isn't gone, though, just lost until it decides to be found again.
It's definitely weird that there can be multiple ring bearers on the table but that's a phenomenon that's existed in Magic for a very long time, ever since the many revisions to the rules around the legendary supertype. You could play your own [[Jace, the Mind Sculptor]] just to kill your opponent's Jace. There's only one Jace, after all.
What happens when one player is playing with TRTY cards and the others aren't? There's too much parasitism in the possibility of the ring bearer being stolen and doesn't mesh well the rest of Magic.
a bunch of potent, cheap effects that target ringbearers
More parasitism, I'm afraid.
I think my phone is pretty simple. I don't pay any mobile games, I have my PC for that. It's my camera and my communications hub when I'm outside the house. I prefer a full keyboard and a full sized screen for Serious Work (TM).
The biggest problem with my phone is the ability to scroll social feeds but even then I find myself clicking on something weird or random and just putting my phone when I'm no longer using it for something focused.
