Before you do that....
Which moxen do you have......
Food chain involves other cards now. Much more silly than recruiter.

Got them all, pretty much got all cards up until the rebels block. Not sure if I want to part with them the super old cards, they got a lot of sentimental value from my teens.

Hmmm. I want them though  .
As for legacy, the main expenditure at this time is duals. If you have those (specifically blue flavored ones) you can build just about any deck in the format for under 300.

Most of them are pretty banged up, we didn't use sleeves until Arabian Nights I think it was.

You claim to hate Jigglypuff and Morrigan but you play Emerge. Geez, Cixah, you're unredeemable.
I truly don't know what you have against emerge. I think it's a fun and interesting mechanic. As far as it being one of the best archetypes, in draft, yes it is very strong, but not broken or unbeatable. The fact that both emerge and delirium have...well...emerged as being powerhouses in standard is fantastic imo.

So I recently took the plunge and sold a bunch of stuff to start playing Age of Sigmar, which is sort of the "new" version of Warhammer Fantasy (just gonna ignore all the controversy around that). I started collecting Stormcast Eternals, which are badass armored dudes hurled through the cosmos on bolts of lightning and ride dragons. Because dragons are awesome.
And to that end, I was thinking of treating myself to a big ol' dragon as a nice centerpiece. I'm either thinking of this: + Show Spoiler + or this: + Show Spoiler +, what do you think between the two as far as looks go?

That's exactly it: the mechanic is interesting, but the archetype is head and shoulders above the rest, both when considering the average decks and the nuts "got all the payoff" ones (exception for the nuts UR spells which is pretty high too).
I played against it as a slow deck that gets outscaled, a fast aggro deck (granted I was decent while he was the nuts, but that's even more jarring how hopeless it is and how nothing you do really matters), a midrange deck... it always feels like it's either straight-up stronger than you, or good enough that you can't really abuse it.
I like Delirium and playing around the graveyard a lot (recursion is one of my favourite themes) but I'm also aware that it'll quickly grow old because decks that can effectively transform recursion into additional copies of their threats and nullify all removal-based decks for example will have the same feeling of hopelessness.
Req I'd go the second one just because it isn't mounted.
Edit: what the fuck it got even more expensive than it was when I was collecting. Why the heck would you pay 60$ for 5 figures? That's almost double what this kind of models costed back then, after conversion!

I like the second. It would be nice to compare a painted to painted though. (I'm assuming the second is unpainted...)

So I got Stardew Valley. Played 80 minutes without realizing it. Pour little hole in the ground that goes for crops is slowly expanding. Only issue is how freaking tired guy gets. Am I meant to just be sleeping constantly wtf

Yeah, there's no painted one on the Forgeworld website and most of the ones people post are crappy phone quality pictures with no lighting. This one is ok but I'm not a huge fan of the color scheme:+ Show Spoiler +.

Ayyyyyyy
You can try budgeting your time to doing the labor stuff then the run around stuff (quests/friendship/bundles) Check the weather so you know when it's going to rain so you don't have to water and go slay stuff in the mines and get ore. Once you get sprinklers your time will free up some. Also make field snacks (acorn/maple seed/pine cone) Just pop those to keep energy up.
But yeah it's so great, it's hilarious how its so chill but you have trouble stopping because you're already planning out the next day's activiites.

I haven't even entered the mine. Just starting up my farming empire now. I GOT A FREAKING KITTY NOW OMFG. He chills inside when it's raining. Think I can manage to do another field of crops with the energy I have. Trying to save up for animals. Really cute game man.
One question, if I just quit will it save or do I have to sleep to save?

... lead poisoning as a disease (notably from alcohol, like the Romans and wine) can be called "saturnism" in French, in reference to Saturn being associated with lead in alchemy.
Also when you're tipsy, you could translate "it [the room]'s spinning" by "ça tourne" (pronounced vaguely "sa toorn").
A lady currently involved with a bottle of rosé just texted me "This rosé's sublime, though it's spinning a bit."
I'm not sure how well I put her pun across, but I'm definitely setting up a date with her now.

@req
second dragon actually looks like a dragon, but the fat one might be a better centerpiece...

So, you're dating a lady with lead poisoning.

Am about to be dating, please.
Plus she probably won't drink around me so all good.

The strength of emerge in draft is that it's a "low risk" synergy deck. It uses the usual enablers+payoff structure of a synergy-based draft archetype, and has similar outcomes when you "go off", but has a significantly better floor when the combo fails. The enablers are still very playable 3-4 drops like Enlightened Maniac that aren't awful when you don't draw your payoff, and the payoffs can still be cast off non-enabler 3- and 4-drops or hardcast as lategame bombs. So getting your combo can instantly win you the game, but drawing one half of the combo and not the other isn't game-losing.
This makes is super safe to draft and play because even when you don't get there, the deck isn't horrible, but when you don't get there on UR spells, your deck is complete shit.
