Hmmm. That answers a qutosien I have long had. Unfortunately, it’s not the one for which I’d hoped. It means evil rather than stupid.For the situation where she calls a man out in front of others one could argue that, yes. However, when a woman does this to a man and they are alone it could be simply that she has lost control of her emotions and at that point is being simply stupid. When this happens she usually needs some time alone (By the man saying what you recommend and then walking away or by simply walking away). She may then be able to see what she did. consciously find it justifiable.I don’t know that you are going to find too many women who are conscious about it. I think they are absolutely out there and in higher numbers than I like to think about. However, for many woman it is more about what they feel. They feel power when they are being bitchy to a man. A sort of control. Then when the man takes back the control she immediately feels that loss. That is when she becomes embarrassed and looks around because she knows everyone else saw the loss as well. However, just like the hamster and the shit testing, I am not sure that many women could actually verbalize why they do it. So, I guess, upon rereading my post, they are conscious of the feeling produced but have not given much thought into the why of it other than it feels good. I would expect that that differs a great deal than a man consciously making a grab for control of a group of people.

The latter part of this was a great demonstration of how even a very experienced player will make basic errors when tired. M3G1 he’s playing super cautious when his opponent had mulled to 4 and clearly had nothing. M3G2, he completely wasted the Baleful Eidolon by bestowing it on the harpy. This does nothing but protect it from spark jolt. Any other removal (pharika’s, magma jet, lightning strike) would still kill it and let the opponent’s harpy through, and by not having another blocker on the board, it made it much easier for the Cerberus to attack in. Just casting the BE as a creature would have practically guaranteed a dead Cerberus and a safe life total. Still, Marshall’s drafts are always great to watch, so thanks!

@henridink — Marshall’s not a professional magic player; he said right at the start that he wanted to try out the Emissary because he had played lightning strike a million times. If you want to watch pros draft, you could do that. But if you’re going to hate on Marshall at least hate on him for something true– like his creepy love for Elmer.

wow, this comment section should really read this comment section. i’m not sure i’ve seen more redundant responses in a magic article ever. one of the dudes even said he read the section but then posted the same thing as everyone anyway.

Thanks for the videos! Green has been my favorite color in theros so far, it feels like a somewhat complex take on its color pie. I always like it when green gets to do cool stuff while still being green.
