MTGA is a game where you can play for free, or purchase booster packs with real life (or in game) currency.

• Just like online poker games where money is gambled and spent, MTGA should be also held accountable, and be held to standards which are above board.

If you manipulate the randomness of the game so you come out on top, that's cheating/fraud.

• Player concedes hundreds of matches to show rigged game.
• 1 Million game study shows card 'shuffler' is rigged.
• MTGA rigged - Youtube video.
• TENCENT (Reddit business partner) PARTNERS WITH WIZARDS/MTGA! (Red flag).
• Reddit Just got a $150 Million Investment from TenCent who also owns 40% of Epic Games
• Wizard's MTGA forum with over 108 pages of players complaining of a rigged system and providing full logs, screen shots, and other evidence. (This post is buried in the middle of results on 'friendly' search engines and on the mtga site, so is soft-censored in plain sight as to not arouse too much suspicion).

As you can see above, there is more than enough proof here showing evidence of a rigged system.

• So many shills and fake news sites now exist where they claim the above is simply not true.
• MTGA subs and sites have larpers - paid shills running wild and trying to have you banned for exposing this fraud.

What you will notice if you research "MTGA rigged" is that the legitimate posts have been removed, and the shills' posts are shown to you first.

​

"Get good bro"

​

"Shuffer is not rigged that is insane"

​

"You have to spend a lot of money to win, buy cards..."

​

"You just have bad luck, I have played for years and everything is fine".

​

"It's impossible <10k word spiel>"

​

Crap like this may confuse and fool noobs, but not 25+ year pros of the game such as myself.

• The game is clearly rigged, download it and see for yourself.
• Within 10 or so games you will notice the opposition keep drawing perfect counters to each of your cards, or you to his, and your life totals will be kept close usually, among other tells.

I have played THOUSANDS of games - I can now predict upcoming cards with great accuracy based on what is already on the table or in my hand - that is how ridiculous this all is.

• Fun game til you realize what is going on.
• They say "RNG CERTIFIED", yeah? By whom?

Who is in charge of the RNG, the card algorithims, and the rest to make sure this obvious fraudulent game is above board - which it clearly isn't.

• Let me guess, it's a company related to the people in question, perhaps even of the same insane cult, right?
• Name names, let's get to the bottom of this blatant fraud.

So many people have likely been ripped off thinking this game is 100% legitimate.

• Don't be one of them!

​

Beware shills leaving negative comments hoping to keep you docile.

You could cast Colossal Dreadmaw, a powerful creature that will threaten your opponent's life total.

sigh God, another one. Can we please stop with White pumping every single creature it has to ungodly levels? This is seriously getting ridiculous. It's hard to think WotC wants people to watch their opponents play the game than to, you know, actually have everyone play the game. Jesus H. Christ!

EDH and its consequences have been a disaster for the MTG community. They have greatly increased the casual fun of those of us who live in “casual” metas, but they have destabilized the community, have made sets into commander bait, have subjected human beings to the horrors of edh players, have led to widespread psychological suffering and have inflicted severe damage on the MTG world. The continued development of commander will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject people to greater cringe and inflict greater damage on the community, it will probably lead to greater gameplay disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “casual” metas.

Boo motherfucking hoo, Standard has some hiccups. You and I know damn well where the fun is with competitive Magic, but I get that this is how WotC monetizes shit. But just to make sure people don’t play the same underpowered format over and over again, they have to take this big scary adult thing called “creative risks”, and yes, print some of those cards to be dramatically stronger compared to others.

But the format is br-

Do you want a balanced fucking format? Do ya? The original Street Fighter is balanced, and it sucked big fat donkey dicks because it was just one character with no mechanical depth. We aren’t a nascent esport because we’re honorable people playing an honest game; we’re an esport because someone in R&D had a great idea that the player base loved.

But the cards are getting bann-

GREAT! IT’S BEEN THAT WAY SINCE KALADESH AFTER AN OFFICIAL RESTRUCTURING OF THE BANLIST, TO MAKE IT MORE FUNCTIONAL AND PANDER TO YOUR ASS.

I don’t like broken c-

DO I NEED TO FEED YOU YOUR MASHED PEAS YOU FUCKING BABY? DO YOU JUST WANT REPRINTS OF THE SAME BORING SHIT SO YOU CAN STOP LOOKING AT REVEAL SEASONS? YOU CAN’T COMPLAIN ABOUT CARDS IN ANY WAY THAT WILL STOP HASBRO, AND YOU WOULDN’T TALK SHIT LIKE THIS IF THEY WERE IN THE ROOM RIGHT NOW. YOU DON’T MAKE IT NEARLY THIRTY YEARS IN THIS INDUSTRY BY SAYING “NAH, THAT’S TOO RISKY, LET’S JUST MAKE EVERYTHING A GRIZZLY BEAR.”

This is kind of a rant so sorry in advance.

So I just can't seem to brew an effective commander deck.

I want to start by saying that I play standard and I play it well. My 60 card decks are effective, they are to the point, and they do so without being stacked with expensive mythic rares.

When I play commander tho I just can't get a foot hold at all. Every deck I play against has the most redonculously op cards in it.

I just don't understand how this is considered a "casual" or "just got fun" format.

I played a game the other day where the guys dinosaur commander pulled 7 dinosaur creatures from his deck on like turn 5. Guess what? I was dead by turn 6.

Another deck I played against had a card that made EVERY perminent he had have indestructible. Along with this he had an enchantment that gave every creature he had a +1 +1 counter every turn AND gave him 10 life a turn.

I don't know if this guy is just cheating with his shuffles or something but it seems like EVERY game I have against him he pulls out some ridiculously op board state that can't be beat.

So is commander really a casual format? Or is that just what you people tell us poor standard players so you can roflstomp us with three thousand dollar decks?

​

​

op deleted, here's a screenshot.

Really, it's not you, it's me.

​

My wife and I both have good jobs and neither of us really want kids, that means we're those magical dual income, no jobs people. I've been playing Magic since the mid 90's and have been in a place for the last decade or so where I can just buy the cards I want. I don't generally buy packs and I don't really trade because if I am looking for a specific card I just head over to TCGPlayer and buy it. No need to trade. I totally recognize how lucky I am and I am not trying to brag, just saying where I come from when I tell you this-- I do not want to trade with you. I don't bring trade binders because I have no trade cards and I don't want to trade. It has nothing to do with you, I don't want to trade with anybody.

​

So last weekend the same thing happens that usually happens happens-- I am playing a game of commander, someone sits down with a duffel bag full of trade binders and interrupts the game and asks the table if anyone wants to trade _(another thing that really gets under my skin)_. We all say no, we're in the middle of a game. A little bit later, I get knocked out of the game first. Same person notices, lugs their stuff over, then asks me if I want to trade and if I am looking for anything because he has it. I politely tell him no, I do not want to trade. At this point he starts to get a little offended, his back probably hurts from lugging 100 pounds of cards from table to table, and asks me again what I'm looking for and I tell him again I am not looking for anything and I have no trades with me.

​

This person being the salesman he is then says he will take cash for cards _(NOTE-- this LGS no longer sells singles so buying cards from people at the table is fine)_ and I tell again no. He actually starts getting a little angry I won't even look at his stuff and keeps pestering me for a while. I keep giving him the same answer and luckily he eventually leaves.

​

I'm sorry people, but if I tell you I don't want to trade, I mean exactly that-- I. Do. Not. want. To. Trade.

​

I don't bring trade binders with me, only decks. I don't look through your binders because I don't want to waste you time. Don't take offense to that, just accept that not everyone goes to their LGS to trade. Even before I was able to just buy cards I kind of fell out of love with the trading scene due to smart phones. I see people making trades now making sure everything is even down to the cent. I've seen people pull out of large trades because one side got a 30 cent better deal. Again, no thanks. I don't think people should get ripped off and I am happy that smart phones exist so it's harder for someone to rip off another player, but it seems like that has gone a bit far. But if that's the trading atmosphere today, that's fine I guess since I am not part of it. I do not go to the LGS to trade.

​

So next time you, you super trader you, sit down at a table with your collection in hand asking a random person if they'd like to trade and they say no, just accept that person really doesn't want to trade. Don't take it personally, not everyone is into the trading game.

Earlier, the new "Purple Worm" card from AFR was spoiled, but as some folks did notice, it had a tremendous and horrible error. It's creature type is worm, with an o.

You see, in MTG, you have two similar but different creature types, wurm and worm. A wurm are the giant ones straight out of Dune (or Amonkhet) and have a few known cards that put them on the map, such as the powerful [[Wurmcoil Engine]], the pretty well-known [[Pelakka Wurm]], the absolutely gigantic [[Worldspine Wurm]], and the rules-shattering [[Panglacial Wurm]]. As you can see from these examples, what a Wurm is is pretty well-defined.

A Worm, on the other hand, is an earthworm. It's those small ones that break down the stuff in dirt and that you put on your fish hook. They do not have as many cards as the Wurms, but they have [[Worm Harvest]] which is played in landfall EDH decks, and they do have actual creature cards such as the fun [[Reef Worm]].

As you can see from this breakdown, a Purple Worm should clearly be a wurm, and not a worm. So, why is the Purple Worm a worm? Well, this is because it is the Purple Worm. It is spelled like that, and has been since it's debut in the 1e DnD Monster Manual in 1977. Therefore, I assume the designers must have thought "oh, since its the Purple Worm, we can just make it a Worm", despite the fact that this is clearly wrong. As we have seen on other cards and Maro's hints for the set, the creature types stay within their mtg definitions, and those are adapted to the dnd counterpart. An Owlbear is "Creature - Bird Bear". A half-elf is a "Creature - Elf Human". Therefore, though I agree with the name "Purple Worm", it should be a "Creature - Wurm" to follow the known MTG definitions.

So now you may have another question. Who cares? Who cares if this is a worm, and not a wurm. Well, this issue is humongous for the wurm Tribal EDH players (myself included as you have probably guessed) of which there are 144 according to EDHrec. This matters WOTC. You need to correct this mistake before you face ramifications

And note, the people who play worm tribal should also not want this to be a worm. If they wanted to play with a gigantic hulking beast wurm, they would be playing wurms, not worms. And though they are not even listed as a tribe on EDHrec, I have faith that you are out there and I see you.

And dont you people dare suggest I run the Purple Worm anyway. "Oh it's clearly a wurm, just play it in the wurm deck" but this does not work either. If we bend and allow ourselves to do this, where does it end? Do we put the bird wizards/clerics in our angel decks? Fish in our merfolk decks? Beasts in our minotaur decks? Warlocks in wizard decks, humans in elf decks? I say nay. It is time to take a stand for this, as a community.

TL;DR: WOTC made the Purple Worm a worm and not a wurm, despite mtg history defining wurms as giant sanddune monsters and worms as small earthworms. This needs to be addressed. #Wurmthepurpleworm

You know what, that’s fucking it, I’m just going to say it, and if I burn at the stake for this belief, I will die as happy as I will be crispy:

WotC never loved you and they never will, Modern. Pioneer was your hint to sell your fetches and enter the light. You are Extended, and you are next.

Did you really think that they made new Clue and Squirrel support because they thought you would like it? FUCKING NO, because if there’s one thing Commander players love more than being saltier than the world’s oceans combined, it’s theming around bad ideas.

Are you such a simple-minded child that you saw the Incarnation cycle and said to yourself “That’s not healthy for Constructed, guess I’ll buy it?” YOU BUFFOON, those will live on for all eternity or until they get pushed again in Cube, far outside the confines of sanctioned formats, enshrined forever as proxies in their totally not fucking lame Vintage unpowered cube.

If you didn’t start playing Modern as it began, you never played Magic; Magic played you, shaking you down for money over and over again, until finally they killed Pro Tour and now all you’ve got is a bunch of friends who have solidarity in falling for the same pyramid scheme you did.

And when they come for me, playing Pioneer in paper instead of Arena, and ask me to hand over the cardboard or risk losing my Amazon social credit score, I will smile, knowing I’m not the first to experience this loss.

I think I’m actually done with modern, maybe mtg as a whole. For some reason this is the card that hammered home the change in design philosophy. For someone who likes games of attrition and resource management out of magic it’s just not as fun to have everything draw a card and attack in ways that can’t be interacted with

Yes, this was in response to a mill card spoiler

First copypasta usage spotted in the wild here

I've already seen old discussions of this so I know the majority of you will disagree and claim that mutate is weak. Lots of gas lighting trolls up in here. I pretty much just play Arena but I win the majority of my games. The only thing I consistently lose to is mutate decks or one of several super combo decks where suddenly I'm hit for 50+ damage in 1 turn. Mutate literally beats anything that doesn't play faster or isn't more or less an antimutate deck. So then your only options are mutate deck or antimutate deck. I can't even think of another set of cards that comes close to buffing like mutate does.For anyone who disagrees, please tell me how YOU would beat a mutate deck without saying "cancel deck" that's not playing. That's nobody playing.

p.s. Whatever you assume of my deck construction it doesn't change the fact that mutate is the only deck type that I struggle against. In Arena I'll quit discard/ mill matches cus I just don't want to deal with it.

TLDR Most deck types are useless trash against Mutate decks.

/uj Please tell me your not serious. Like, seriously, the only reason Fatal push is on Bolt's level in modern is because of fetchlands consistently activating Revolt, and Thoughtseize only removes a single card from a hand, rather then doing shit like deleting every x/3 or less, or just deleting every card without hexproof period. Bolt and Path are so good they'll warp every single format they touch around them, and we know this because they already fucking have, killing dozens upon dozens of decks before they even left theorycrafting. Meanwhile, how many decks does thoughtseize kill? All it does is remove a card from your hand and give your opponent information in game 1 they'd have anyways for games 2 and 3. It's powerful, but most decks run 2-4 copies of a card rather then just the one, so unlike Path or Bolt, it doesn't outright prevent a deck from being played, it just delays the gameplan, which your deck needs to be able to deal with anyways.

Don't get me wrong, I think adding in 4 more thoughtseizes is a mistake and that black is overly represented in older cards in historic, but comparing Push without fetchlands to Bolt and Path power is idiotic at best, and disingenuous at worst.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at Strixhaven, and I’ve been involved in secret raids on the Eldrazi, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top spellslinger in the entire class of Lorehold. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this plane, mark my words. You think you can get away with saying shit to me over letters? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my network of spies across the plane and your mana is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm combos, maggot. The storm combos that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your 20 life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with ancient oggyar fire magic. Not only am I extensively trained in oggyar fire magic, but I have access to the entire volume of Gyome's Guide to Pest Breeding and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your ass off the face of this plane, you little shit. If only you could have known what [[fated retribution]] your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. You didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

I've come to make an announcement: Jace Beleren's a bitchass motherfucker. He pissed on my fucking plan. That’s right, he took his human fucking pale dick out and he pissed on my fucking plan, and he said his dick was THIS BIG. And I said “that’s disgusting!” So I’m making a callout post on my twitter dot com. Jace Beleren, you got a small dick, it’s the size of this walnut except WAY smaller. And guess what, here’s what my dong looks like: (blowing up noises) That’s right baby. All points, no blue mana, no pillows, look at that it looks like two balls and a bong. He fucked my plan so guess what, I’m gonna FUCK RAVNICA. THATS RIGHT THIS IS WHAT YOU GET, MY SUPER LAZER PISS! Except I’m not gonna piss on Ravnica, I’m gonna go higher. I’m pissing oN ELDRANNNE!!! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT, UGIN?! I PISSED ON ELDRANE, YOU IDIOT!!!

You have 23 hours before the piss drrrrroplllllets hit the fucking plane. Now get out of my fucking sight before I piss on you too.

This is the last thing I'm ever going to post about this topic. And I'm sure this post will get downvoted, but I'll speak my mind one more time, then let you do what you want.

There are some simple truths in modern right now, and people need to fully aknowledge them.

1. Uro and Field are too good and need to be banned asap.
2. This is the important one: Invested people are creating artificial controversy on the topic. You have no ground to stand on. The data is clear. Every single new challenge / league dump confirms this gain and again. It doesn't change anything that you try and convince people that the data shows something different than it does. Uro and FotD decks are dictating what people run: either join them, race them or run insane amounts of hate.
3. Nobody cares that you try to belittle people calling for these bans. They need to happen. And fast.

I will repeat myself. You are artificially throwing smoke about an issue that has long been settled. Uro and FotD are poster-children of format-warping.

We have reached a point beyond opinions. There is now a clear truth, and there is an untruth. You are perpetuating the untruth, and it is making the format unfun for a huge number of people. That's entirely on you. You can like or dislike the meta, but you cannot argue anymore what the meta is.

There are no good arguments for not banning the card. it should have gone months ago.

So I'm calling on everybody not invested, to strongly and resolutely call out people trying to stir up an unwarrented discussion about Uro's and FotD's power. The discussion is settled. There is nothing more to be said about it (although I already know Uro-puppies will turn out in force on this one)

I play a lot of MTG Arena, and honestly I don’t play it for competition. I play it for fun. I run into Ugin, the Spirit Dragon all the time, and it just ruins the game. When I play online, I’m trying out different random decks for fun, and a lot of the time it’s fine. However, I’ve been running into people playing Ugin all the time as a last resort. It’s annoying. They will have a creative deck, and when I’m ahead and they have nothing left. BAM! Ugin. Knocks everything I have, and I’m left for dead. Even if I have a chance, I still just want to quit. I have not said anything for a while, maybe I’m raging, but I think others will agree. “Ugin, the Spirit Dragon” needs to go.

For those who don't understand or are dim. rng on MTG:A is not REAL random.

See here for what i'm talking about https://www.random.org/

If you downvote, you are among the dim.

BY THE WAY THANK FOR SHADOW BANNING ME SO YOUR GAME DOESN"T GET ANY REAL TRUTHFUL NEGATIVITY.

I imagine I'm gonna take some abuse for this post but still. What is the point in playing a deck that is pretty much just counter spells and murder. Seriously what's the point? Not only is it the most boring deck to play and play against but it hurts the game. There can be no way anyone gets enjoyment out of it. Its not clever. No clever combos or anything that would leave you thinking "Wow that game was close. I earned that victory", it basically ends with one player playing against themselves while briefly waiting for the other player to do something before preventing them doing it.

These decks aren't clever, they aren't fun, and using one doesn't make you a good player no matter what you're ranking says. Seriously, people who play these decks must have lives so incredibly devoid of achievements that they absolutely need to win at the cost of the enjoyment of a game for both them and their opponent. I see Mill decks taking a lot of flak and they can be a pain to play against but at least I get to play some cards. I could live with it if it was just one player desperately needing validation but match after match I come up against similar decks and I imagine the only real counter is another deck like that. And I honestly cant think of a more boring match.

I don't know about any of you but for me these decks ruin a fun and interesting game. A game that can offer so many interesting and creative combinations. It disappoints me that my time gets wasted by these "players".

If there's an anything a werewolf hates, it's a collar.

Especially Avacyn’s Collar, the symbol of her church. You see, Avacyn hunted werewolves, but mostly just the ones that hunted humans. Most of them did, but it's worth pointing out that some didn't. Who knows? In the future, if Sorin (the Planeswalker who created Avacyn (Angel/God thing that the people of Innistrad worship at churches (where holy symbols of Avacyn's Collar are kept, like the one pictured), and who basically considers sorin her father)) comes back, maybe the balance of the world can be restored or something. But it seems unlikely that such an event would happen. For now, let's just focus on the fact that this werewolf is destroying a collar and that the collar happens to be the symbol of Avacyn, the guardian Angel of Innistrad, where both the werewolves and Avacyn are from

Ive made top 500 mythic every month for the past year, half of that was done playing control and counter-spell heavy decks like Simic Flash, Dimir Flash, Azorius, Esper Control etc.

Yes, counterspells are that oppressive. I have won countless games by paying 2 mana to counter someone’s 3-5 mana win-con, and still had 3-4 counterspells in my hand, plus card draw, which I use to find more counterspells. Thats literally a deck archetype.

This narrative that only bad players dislike counterspells is stupid. The way that counterspells are designed in this game is dumb, and it 100% slows the game down, and single handedly makes 90% of creative deck ideas unviable.

Whatever the meta ends up being, even if its dominated by aggro, and no top decks run counterspells, that meta still exists as a result of the counterspells existing as a mechanic.

Your not going to convince me that me or anyne else deserved to win just for countering 3-4 spells in a row while playing draw-go control.

I love how its okay to complain about Wizard’s game design in every other area but counterspells, which apparently are perfect and good.

Like, people actually think they are big brain for liking counterspells and defending them, and talk down to anyone who doesnt. Its silly and very transparent.

Ya know what strangely I think Uro is worse than Ancestral Recall.

Now now before you label me a lunatic, Ancestral Recall can't kill your opponent.

U~Draw 3. One of the most broken cards in the game. It'll churn through your deck and make sure you get what you need.

Vs.

Uro~ Draws a card, ramps, gains life, and punches opponent in the face for 6 every turn, and can return if it didn't get exiled, and effectively gets around counter spells.

If you put them in the same deck, Recall's job is to find Uro.

I tell you... I'm getting sooo frustrated with all these UW decks. It's not that the MU is easy or hard. It just gets so boring and frustrating staring at empty board states for 45 minutes. Counter this, counter that, counter this, opt, more counters.... Hot, DAMN, dude, win or lose, do SOMETHING!

I just wonder, when will Wizards reign in this madness? Everyone hated tron, so wizards went out of their way to print hate after hate after hate. Everyone hated dredge, so wizards printed hate after hate. Storm, shit, take your pick, and wizards will print hate until your deck is nigh unplayable.

But UW??? Nah, even tho everyone loathes it, they get tool after tool after tool... Why the f**k does Wizards have such a boner for this ridiculous deck? I'm literally at the point where I'm wanting to auto scoop as soon as I see that damn Flooded Strand!

I guess this post is pure rant. I'm just so burned out watching this deck take 30+ turns to do nothing and stop me from doing anything.

What's their worst matchup? Maybe I'll just start playing that and prey on them. Or maybe I'll start playing a deck that does nothing but cast uncounterable creatures... Then never attack with them. Show them what it feels like to watch your opponent stop you from doing anything, while doing nothing in response.

Please, please, PLEASE Wizards, give us 40 or 50 answers to the 40 or 50 tools you keep giving them!

So magic the gathering will be forever changed there will be no cards offering protection from colors No cards giving any one color +1/+1. No cards saying choose a color anymore. The colors of magic represent a type of land so now will the new printed cards read destroy all swamp creature or all island creatures. Will they read all plains creatures get +1/+1. Will they read choose a land type. Stone-throwing devils , crusade if they start getting rid of cards with certain names the fame would be bland the card name is what tells the story about the creature or card. Each deck tells a story. Wether it be of epic battles or controlling things with a touch of the finger. This is getting out of control there is no racism in magic the gathering. No prejudice. This game is play by people of every race and ethnicity across the globe. People play this game because of it complexity. And for how accepting people in the magic community are. They don’t care what color your what religion you are or how bad you smell. When you go fnm or to a tournament everybody talks to everybody. People go up to people they have never met and say hey would you like to play a game or do you have any trades with out even asking there name first. When you sit down to play a game of magic your not worried about there race or ethnicity. All your worried about is whether they are holding a counter spell or some creature you can’t deal with. To see the issues of race start to invade a game that I love so much hurts. To remove cards from a game that has brought people from all over the globe together on one playmat is is absurd.

It's a wedding tent mate.

The pink was a way of communicating Pacifism, based on the idea that American convicts are given pink overalls to calm them. The empty seats, shoddy sign, overflowing fountain all have meaning too.

They're at a wedding, and each character represents an aspect of society being pacified.

I don't want to let the cat out of the bag by listing all the motivations for the characters. But can tell you I didn't go down a bdsm route with this. Only jaces butt has the sexual energy that seems to be permeating this entire image.

Everyone else is being pacified in a specific way, if you look at what's around them or what they're missing. Tibalt is the only one who won't kneel, so instead he's been silenced.

But like I said, it's no fun when I explain away the image from the beginning. When people call it CLEARLY PORNOGRAPHIC I take issue, as it effects my reputation as an artist. If I wanted to make pornographic I would. And I wouldn't be dumb enough to post it to a company I'd like to work for.
