"Vice President Joe Biden is fresh out of the Obama White House and feeling adrift when his favorite railroad conductor dies in a suspicious accident, leaving behind an ailing wife and a trail of clues. To unravel the mystery, "Amtrak Joe" re-teams with the only man he's ever fully trusted--the 44th president of the United States. Together they'll plumb the darkest corners of Delaware, traveling from cheap motels to biker bars and beyond, as they uncover the sinister forces advancing America's opioid epidemic. Part noir thriller and part bromance novel, Hope Never Dies is essentially the first published work of Obama/Biden fanfiction--and a cathartic read for anyone distressed by the current state of affairs."--Amazon.com.… (more)

The premise is funny, the story kind of slogs along, but the finale saved it from getting a lower rating. ( )

Very campy, definitely not realistic, and that was my expectation going into this fantastic book. Can't wait for the sequel. True bromance. ( )

The characters felt odd and unrealistic. Joe Biden should NOT be whiny. Additionally, the mystery was meh and the dialogue was awkward and stilted. I wanted a fun, buddy-PI, noir, romp. This was not it. ( )

I remember, when I was a relatively novice Magic: the Gathering player, opening my first pack of Visions. One of the cards in the pack I remember distinctly, to this day.





"Oh shit!" I thought to myself - I remembered how terrifying the Phyrexians were supposed to be.





"Jesus, that is terrifying. Its a metal spider demon from a dieselpunk nightmare. This is going to be beastly."





"That will haunt my dreams. This thing is bonkers. Its gotta be a beast-"





no





no pls why

***
Its a 0-cost creature. Its not going to be this OP monstrosity. Its not going to be perfect. I just saw the name, and the art, and the description, and my imagination and hopes went wild.

Its not a terrible card, for what it is. It has its own wholesome charm. Throw it in the right deck, say, affinity, and you have synergy and possible combo engine. But its not for everyone, or every deck.

I don't see myself using the card again anytime soon, but I enjoyed playing it. I had a fun time with it! But it didn't - couldn't - live up to the expectations set up for it, and I guess that is really my fault. ( )
