    White has no cards in hand. They’re basically fucked. Maybe if they had a better board state, but black is up on blockers / sacrifice materiel and is about to target themselves with that draw four, giving them massive card advantage. White may be up three mana, but that gap will close very quickly unless they top deck some draw spells (and let’s be real, white draw sucks), especially with black having access to powerful fast mana pieces like Dark Ritual, Burnt Offering or Culling of the Weak.

    I’d go with player A, the white mana will be used to grant indestructible therefore nullifying the revolver.

    Not an illegal number of rooks though! Any number op to 10 is legal.

      In this case it is illegal, because the real limit is the sum total of all pawns and rooks cannot exceed 10.

          Ah, I see the problem: I’m an idiot who forgot chess boards are 8 squares wide, not 10.

    Stalemate, bitch.

    Ok the bones for a meme-themed chess deck exist. I might have a new project on my hands.

    Obviously this game can’t be started until we figure out who has the d20 and we can’t really predict anything either until they decide on where to place it.

    Player C. Both player A and B think they have perfect information, but only player C actually does.

    I personally think B has more advantages, but A could always pull in clutch.

    A is running Boros, B is forked against a wide weenie build like that, best they can do is try to draw 4 or run Elvis’s Orzhav Burn but that’ll only buy them time. B is screwed if A draws an Arrest.

Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren’t unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
