There are quite a few oldschool Amiga OCS/ECS demos that will run as intended, perfectly, smoothly only on base Amiga 1000, 500, 2000 systems with 68000 CPU -- unaccelerated. One example is TBL's Eon (2019) -- an incredible demo.

I've encountered a few games that fall into this category also.

Will these run properly with 68000-emulator accelerators such as the PiStorm? It emulates the 68000, but can it do so with 100% never-failing, cycle-exact precision when operating as a base, unaccelerated 68000 at 7.16/7.09 MHz?

The demos I speak of fail to run or run visibly broken with most accelerators, including my A2620 (14.32MHz 68020).

I‘m waiting for the day Wizard of the Coast prints Better Black Lotus. A card that is essentially Black Lotus, but gains you 1 Life on enter the battlefield. This would be a rather easy „fix“ for the reserve list. It‘ll probably only happen slightly before WotC goes out of Business or a similarly catastrophic event, but it‘s fun to think about it.

Out of curiosity, does Priest of the Crossing from the Aetherdrift commander decks not violate the spirit of the reserved list by being very similar to and essentially strictly better than Asmira,...

Excerpt: "NSPM-7 also directed Attorney General #PamBondi to compile a list 'of any such groups or entities' to be designated as '#DomesticTerrorist organization[s]' and Bondi has ordered the FBI to 'compile a list of groups or entities engaging in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism,' according to a December 4 Justice Department memo, 'Implementing National Security Presidential #Memorandum7: Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,' which the Justice Department shared with The Intercept. Essayli also referenced that memo, stating that it mobilized 'federal law enforcement to prioritize and counter domestic terrorism and political violence investigations.' He added, 'As a result of those directives, we built this case.'

"Justice Department spokesperson Natalie Baldassarre did not respond to repeated requests for clarification about whether the #TurtleIslandLiberationFront and a supposed more militant faction known as the Order of the #BlackLotus were on either the domestic or designated terrorist lists.

"Senior White House adviser #StephenMiller issued an ominous pronouncement about the administration’s crackdown on dissent in America on Monday. 'Following the issuance of #NSPM7 vast government resources have been unleashed to find and dismantle the violent fifth column of domestic terrorists clandestinely operating inside the United States,' he wrote on X."
