I know! And then you start translating to English and realise that you have to throw most of it away. :'D Tragic. I've butchered so many beautiful final particles / obscure sentence endings in my time translating Japanese to English. ^^;;; Obviously you can write beautifully in English too, but it's never quite the same. :'D

By the way, double checked in my super cool grammar dictionary (link here, if you're ever interested, though all the explanations in it are in Japanese~) to make sure I wasn't selling you wrong information, and it confirms that だもん is mostly for kids / girlish women. So unless you want to further your reputation as Gare-chan, probably best to avoid that one. :wacko:

That way they didn't have to do any bans to deal with Delver and it's already banned in Modern. Though that is a bad thing imo.

That version of Jace is pretty much the only planewalker that is vintage playable though. Old cards don't fuck around. :wacko:

A couple more see legacy play from time to time.

I guess there will always be overpowered cards, and they can only really work out which ones are overpowered by throwing a set into tournament play and seeing what sticks. ^^;;; I don't think I know most of the cards you're talking about, though. :'D I think the last time I played was like... Tempest / Stronghold era? A looooong time ago now.

I didn't know you we're a guy

You probably speak Spanish about as well as I speak French, I imagine. ^^;;; I can sort of muddle my way through novels in French, but with lots of looking up words in dictionaries, and lots of relying on my knowledge of English. :'D I really wish I spoke more languages. D:

Gare's a guy? woah

Oh Don't do that. I would have a heart attack if I knew I was sending creepy letters to a dude (talking about Elin) :wacko:

Oh god the Gare-chan fanfiction will never end. :wacko: And yeah, I had this feeling that it wasn't a masculine expression. But I wanted to know for reading/listening purposes.

Bookmarked, I might actually buy that sometime down the line.

My Webster Spanish-English dictionary is so worn, the paperback is falling off :wacko:

What do you think of the new Avatar? :D
