My perspective might be a bit different as someone non-binary that is not pursuing HRT at this point in my life. Over the years when I feel dysphoric and don't feel like who is in the mirror matches my perception of myself, I try to take the time to verbally complement myself or say something out loud that I have been having a hard time internally processing.

It helps me to feel like someone is being kind or helpful to me, and that even if the person in the mirror doesn't feel like who I am that they are at the minimum an ally in my journey through life.

As far as Universes Beyond goes I've seen a pretty positive result on the people I play with.

One of my friends who stopped playing after he had his collection stolen a number of years ago started to play again after I gave him a tyranid deck.

One of my friends from work got really into deck building and has been active since lotr and fallout sets. He is also super into Marvel, so he is looking forward to the upcoming sets. My play group at work are also much more proxy friendly after the 30th anniversary proxies set, so I made him a proxy of Kelsien, the Plague themed as Gambit.

Another friend from work has started to play physical magic since getting the Riders of Rohan deck.

And the person I play magic with the most has been building themed decks around pop culture or stories we want to tell for years with me.

I was pretty skeptical of UB before, but I am now more concerned with poor game balance and half baked original stories from WOTC.

I was hoping there was an option for your uncle let you have a playset of dredge skeletons as the intro.

I thought it was a reference to the song. YouTube link

I don't think there is a lot of reasoning behind the characters or card selection here.

We've chopped and dropped most things or added it to the compost.

Whatever feels good for you, but generally they tend to rest on your hole like a sleep mask. If you have enough movement to be chafing you might want to look at something with a bit more coverage.

That's rough bud.

Good on you for giving him some chances, but he got himself down that rabbit hole and he is the one that will have to pull himself out by the bootstraps that he loves so much.

Well it is cheap so that means that it is lower power.

Bracket 4 will be for powerful cards like Drop of Honey.

Bracket 1 will be for more balanced cards like Porphyry Nodes.

My gnome warlock got their power from getting married to a fae lord after a drunken night of revelry. Their pact was the divorce settlement and their familiar was their lawyer.

It is so fun to play the straight person around random bedlam.

No sales tax in NH either.
