“Karma’s a Glitch” has the pacing and progression of a movie, and I loved that about it. The series has been building up for so long that just having a bunch of classic superhero moments chained together was deeply satisfying.

Let me be clear. I hated three big things about “Pipelines.”

Bombing your first comedy set already sucks, but now things are about to get way more complicated for our protagonist.

Maybe this is just because I’ve listened to a lot of Magnus, and am going off patterns, but the series does have a habit of outright stating something after it was possible to mostly have figured it out. And that’s what “Temporary Positions” feels like. It’s a clarifying episode for anyone who’s not been following this storyline as closely as someone like me.

“Repetitive Strain” is mostly only brought down from excellence by the statement not having enough time. I love that the episode keeps matters mostly focused on one plotline, while also progressing it, but I was intrigued and increasingly horrified—and then the story stopped.

Performing can be very challenging, especially for people new to it. And plenty of people have horror stories about times it has gone wrong.

“Slipping” takes the format of Protocol and pushes it to the absolute extreme. There’s implying a horror story through the medium of whatever technology or multimedia thing we’re exploring that episode, and then there’s burying it so deep in that framework that it feels like a twist when the shift happens.

Tezzeret’s abilities are mostly just handy, yes, but you need to remember that it’s also a three-mana planeswalker that can go in any deck that cares about artifacts. And Edge of Eternities cards often care about artifacts.

Can something created to inflict horror change?
In the first part of this new short story, the answer is yes.
But there are challenges to shifting careers, and the spark that kicks it off can be quite intense.

Loading Zone is one of my favorite Warp cards. Pay one mana, then go off stationing Spacecrafts, making your lands better, or just make a big monster. If you have extra mana later—and haven’t won the game yet—then you can further press your advantage.

It takes a decent amount of setup for really powerful turns, but I read Bioengineered Future as “each creature you control enters with a +1/+1 counter” (or however the language has to be for the rules to work). And that’s pretty dang potent for three mana.
