Never played Magic or Warhammer, but I worked at GameStop for entirely too long and my god Magic players take the cake for the worst people, and not just for being smelly

2023-10-10 17:42:07 +0000 UTCI haven’t played 40k or been to any sci-fi conventions, but I’ve played a lot of magic and a lot of smash, and magic wins by a landslide between those two. Magic players are so much smellier.

2023-09-19 21:27:15 +0000 UTCFun (?) Fact about the "Invoke Prejudice" Magic card: according to one of the comments on the Gatherer database, the artist is a straight-up nazi. Wizards stopped using his work not long after Ice Age.
