Driving thru Maysville area of FW tonight when we saw something bright look like it was falling out of the sky. We decided it most resembled something like a backwards firework, getting brighter before it went dark. We aren't sure if it went dark or if it just went beyond our line of sight. It seemed to big, close, and bright to be a star, but I'm not an astronomer.
May be nothing, may be something. Just curious if anyone else saw it. Have a wonderful night. :)
I got this combo to go off a couple times in my Draft last night and was able to outlast opponents with Escape creatures. It's expensive, but once you have the 6 mana it's basically a guaranteed creature and a Scry 2 every other turn (every turn if you have 3 more mana to sac the Omen right away). I even had my opponent group kill a smaller creature when I used Archon an it to gang block, as he didn't want me pulling the Omen back out and getting Archon back immediately. I was lucky to not run into an exile effect, but I also had the Pegasus token generator, so if they could deal with one they couldn't deal with the other.

If each user is able to view it 10 times we can get it up to 87, in that point will we be safe we do not want it fall off before his birthday, so please go to genius so we can keep him on the top 100 on the genius rap chat.

Most people know the story of Captain “Sully” Sullenberger, who ditched US Airways flight 1549 in the middle of New York’s Hudson River after birds destroyed both engines, saving the lives of everyone on board. Also well-known is the story of flight attendant Vesna Vulovic, who survived a mid-air bombing at 33,000 feet and went on to become a Serbian folk hero. These are remarkable tales of survival against the odds that stick with us through the decades—those moments when everyone lived, when some should have died; or when one lived, when all should have died. But there are more of these stories than you think. What follows are two obscure sagas of survival from the skies over Russia, both of which easily rival those that have become household names.

A Falling Star: the crash of Aeroflot flight 811
Crashes in the former Soviet Union were sometimes brought to light years after they actually took place, while those whose loved ones died were given no official explanation. In an effort to avoid embarrassment, the Soviet government frequently covered up crashes involving its state airline, Aeroflot, especially if the government itself was at fault. Aeroflot flight 811 was one such incident.
Information about what happened to flight 811 is scarce, even in Russian, but there is enough to sketch out a basic sequence of events. The flight in question was a twin turboprop Antonov An-24RV operating a scheduled commercial service in the Soviet Far East, beginning from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on Sakhalin Island and ending in the city of Blagoveshchensk on the Chinese border, with a stopover in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. (A map of these locations and other places important to the story can be found here.) On the 14th of August 1981, Aeroflot flight 811 landed in Komsomolsk-on-Amur after its flight from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. However, before continuing on to Blagoveshchensk, the plane was delayed for four hours due to a passing storm system. When the weather finally cleared, 27 passengers and 5 crew boarded the plane for the approximately 1.5 hour flight. Among them were 20-year-old Larisa Savitskaya and her new husband Vladimir. The newlyweds from Blagoveshchensk had been celebrating their honeymoon and were now on their way back home, though they were very much still in the honeymoon mindset. Not much is known about the other passengers, except that they included a small child.
Flight 811 took off at 14:56 and proceeded west toward Bla

In all my games I have literally never seen it happen. The Atomicists have more luck than Falling Star, easily ruling kingdoms of Sagrado Corazon, Micltantec and Sol Invicta vassals and population.
Falling Star is a key example of why small religions shouldn't have heresies. At the star of every game they lose land to more powerful neighbors, and instead of having time to heal they have to fight heretic outbreaks that cripples their realm and plummets their moral authority, making them easy prey to powerful neighbors, and the cycle repeats.
But back to the issue at hand, I have never seen the Renovator succeed, or even appear on the map. Does anyone have a different experience?
The IAVA press release says Gary will be invited to "A" forum, not THE forum. This is done deliberately, we can't stop fighting now, they want us to become complacent, that can't happen.
I had a dream the other night which started as a nightmare: I got pushed off a tall building by someone trying to kill me. At first I was terrified, thinking I was going to hit the ground and die soon. But suddenly my environment changed, I was in space and about to fall into a pool of stars and other beautiful space things. I floated around in a circle, and then fell again to glide and float around a lovely field. I woke up when I tried to control the direction I was flying towards a tree.
This dream was very unusual for me, as I often have nightmares. So for a nightmare to turn into such delightful but strange imagery was honestly really special to me!
Maul, Luke, Boba, and now Sheev have all fallen impossible heights or into giant monsters and survived
Say the Clone Wars are about to end and Anakin isn't guaranteed to fall to the dark side. Does Palpatine still issue Order 66 and let Anakin die? Does he risk the war ending and come up with some other scheme? There's only so much you can do to extend the war before it looks like you are dragging it on unnecessarily or incompetently.
