"Science is pretty gay, guys is a decidedly un-Nietzschean sentiment.

I just remembered, from the nether regions of my geek brain, back in the day a black & blue was called a palpatine deck.

By far my best deck was white & blue. Hard to see how that could be less annoying to opponents than black and blue. I think I once went on a 14-game streak with that sucker.

Yes, exactly. i couldn’t have put it any better –black & blue: frustrating and so very meta. It rendered my precious green/white deck was useless. My circle played for cash, so I still bear the scars.

Several of the friends with whom I played preferred to describe it as “the most annoying color.”

I for one would expect blue from a philosphy major. It was about control, interruption, by far the most “meta” color.

Black, though? I don’t know. It’s ruthless? Contrarian? Are you just a little macabre?

The glory of the interweb. Not so long ago, I would have thought that I was the only person in the whole world who would find such a thing funny.

“Of course you were a black & blue player.”

I’m missing the connotation here… why is that?

At least the game will end well.
