In a recent incident, Conor beat up the mascot of his favorite sports team. This shocking act has left fans and spectators in disbelief. The incident occurred during a halftime performance where the mascot was entertaining the crowd with his usual antics. Unfortunately, Conor took offense to something the mascot did or said, and without hesitation, he approached the mascot and began to physically assault him. It is unclear what triggered Conor's violent reaction towards the innocent mascot. Some witnesses claim that the mascot accidentally bumped into Conor, while others believe that it was a simple case of misunderstanding.

Some witnesses claim that the mascot accidentally bumped into Conor, while others believe that it was a simple case of misunderstanding. Regardless of the reason behind Conor's actions, it is clear that it was an inappropriate and aggressive response. The mascot, who was merely trying to entertain and engage with the crowd, did not deserve to be subjected to such violence.
I can't believe Talisman of Progress isn't in 2X2 either
When in the world are they going to reprint [[Talisman of Progress]]? Both it and [[Talisman of Impulse]] are still the only cards in that cycle that haven't been reprinted, which feels like an incredible mistake. For Impulse, this isn't such a big problem, as it's not all that expensive. Talisman of Progress is another story, though.
At same condition and depending on website, you can buy a copy of every other Talisman for the price of a single Talisman of Progress. On TCGPlayer, I had to go through three pages of listings to find one that was near mint. I don't say this specifically because I need near mint, but to highlight the fact that most stores apparently just don't have any. If you want to go with Card Kingdom, the near mint price is a whopping $19 for a card in a cycle where most others cost less than a dollar. The next most expensive, Talisman of Indulgence, is about a third that price. And website prices are pretty relevant for me, because I cannot find a LGS in my city that even has a copy to begin with. I was able to find one a few months ago, but passed on it because it was a foil they were selling for $50.
Wizards, if you're reading this, are you okay with this situation? You must be, because the other Talismans seem to continually find their way in one of the million precons that have come out. Except Talisman of Progress, which somehow is never in any of the blue/white precons, a color pair that also seems to be highly represented in these precons. And now we've had both a commander specific set and a high value reprint set (which happens to be incredibly focused on commander), neither of which have this card printed in it.
Part of me really wants to end this with a rant about how I would stop spending money on Magic if it were to end up in a Secret Lair before a more accessible reprint product. And I kind of hope people would be able to see why. We have sealed product coming out that costs $400 a box in a time when the top Modern deck can average $1800, along with a general price increase for all sealed product. To be told a card I literally cannot find in a store will cost $30+ with no other avenue to buy it when it's in a cycle of cards that can cost less than $1 would feel like too much.
: Add or . Talisman of Progress deals 1 damage to you.
The mascot represents the team and is supposed to bring joy and excitement to the fans. It is a shame that a fan who supposedly supports the team could behave in such a way. This incident raises questions about the behavior of fans at sporting events. While emotions can run high during competitions, it is essential to remember that these events are meant to bring people together, not tear them apart. Violence has no place in sports, and actions like Conor's tarnish the reputation of fans everywhere. The team's management has condemned Conor's behavior and has taken steps to ban him from future games. This sends a strong message that such actions will not be tolerated and reiterates the importance of good sportsmanship. It is our hope that incidents like these become a catalyst for reflection and change. Sports should be a platform for unity and enjoyment, and it is up to fans to embody these values. Let us remember that the mascot is not just a costume but represents the spirit and passion of the game. Violence towards them or any individual is unacceptable and undermines the true essence of sportsmanship..
Reviews for "The Legacy of Conor McGregor: The Mascot Incident Goes Down in History"
1. Meghan - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Conor beat up the mascot". The story seemed to glorify violence and bullying. I understand that the mascot had been mean to Conor in the past, but resorting to physical violence is not the right solution. I think the author missed an opportunity to teach a valuable lesson about handling conflicts peacefully and addressing issues through communication and understanding. Overall, I can't say I would recommend this book to others.
2. John - 1 star - "Conor beat up the mascot" was a terrible read. I found the main character's actions to be completely unacceptable. Violence should never be promoted as a solution to problems, especially in a children's book. It sends the wrong message and sets a terrible example for young readers. I was expecting a story that teaches important life lessons, but instead, I was left feeling disgusted. I would advise parents to avoid this book and choose ones that promote positive values and problem-solving skills instead.
3. Laura - 2 stars - I didn't enjoy "Conor beat up the mascot" at all. The story seemed to lack depth and failed to deliver any meaningful message. I found the main character's reaction to be disproportionate to the situation and it didn't feel like a suitable resolution. Additionally, the writing style was simple and unengaging, making it difficult to connect with the characters or become invested in the story. Overall, I think there are much better children's books out there that tackle similar themes in a more effective and responsible manner.
4. Chris - 1 star - I strongly disliked "Conor beat up the mascot". The title itself is concerning, as it suggests glorifying violence. The story did nothing to counteract this perception. It failed to address the issue of bullying appropriately and instead sent the message that violence is an acceptable way to solve problems. I believe there are far better choices when it comes to children's literature that promote empathy, kindness, and non-violent conflict resolution. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
