It wasn't a story, it was more like an informative book with fun facts about the Presidents, I believe, and a little bit of their background.. I've been trying to find it for years. I believe Clinton was President at the time it came out.
I almost lost a match in Not-GP Vegas due to both the floor judge and the head judge not understanding how Dress Down works with modular creatures. Had I not been certain enough to keep arguing after the head judge had made his ruling, I'd definitely have lost the match.
The situation was common enough: Grixis Dress Down Shadow versus Eldrazi Tron. I am on GDDS and I am recurring Dress Down with Lurrus in my end step every turn to turn off his creature abilities during his turn. I'm going to win the game on my turn with lethal damage when my opponent topdecked a Walking Ballista with a bunch of Urza lands on the table, casting it for what would be lethal if the card worked the way they thought.
The rules actually say that "enters with" abilities are turned off by Dress Down. This is because of the same rule as the "Blood Moon rules change" from a few years ago that causes shocklands to enter untapped if a Blood Moon is in play. In other words, the ballista comes into play as a 0/0 and immediately dies.
I'm mentioning this because it's the first time at GP-level event in over fifteen years of playing that I've ever had to keep arguing after after a head judge made their ruling. If I wasn't absolutely certain, I'd have let it go.
tl;dr learn ALL the rules of your deck, especially weird interactions that don't come up often. Be able to back it up with the exact ruling if you can or you may risk losing a winnable game; even the head judge is capable of making a mistake.
In the case being that every president so far has had a bounty on his head, which seems likely, is there a list of roughly how high the reward of assassination would have been for each?
Probably on a watchlist now but curiosity is strong
When they go back in time, Nixon was president of the world. But after they ruined the revolution, they said the Queen ruled over England, America, and 2 parking spaces in Tokyo. And I love this so much, like itβs one of the best things in the show!
It implies that the US took over the entire world, but given the same opportunity, England did not. Just a fun detail
I have seen in multiple YouTube videos where people just name all of the U.S. presidents, just like I would say the alphabet, or count from 1 to 100. I am not an American, I have no clue what all of the Dutch presidents were except the current one. Is it like a thing that people learn in school or something?
