Re: Mono-R Control with Jaya Ballard!
I still have the deck together, I just haven't played a game in a couple years so I'm a little out of the loop on the newer stuff. I still drop in and check the forum every once in a while. I will say that out of the more recent printings Moonsilver Key looks great if you have a Gauntlet effect or t...

And I'm just over here waiting for scalpers to stop jackin' up with the OLED Switch that just came out lol. First few days Walmart "had it in stock" for $600. Really? Like a 70% markup? MRSP? Anti-Scalping measures? Pfffffff. Some nonsense. If it makes you feel better, I've been on a wait...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
I've been playing a ton of D2R for the last couple weeks, mostly MF on my blizz sorc so far. Just found a Sur off of Baal mobs a couple days ago. Traded that for a Lo to make Grief for my pally (found 2 Mal while leveling), so it's time to actually level him up now. I also managed to find 2 Mara's i...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
2022 gonna hurt the wallet that's for sure. I'm in the opposite camp. My take when UB was initially announced was that I would wait and see what came of it, but there was a good chance it would mark the end of my heavy involvement with the game. More mechanically unique cards from a 3rd party IP in...

Re: Which commanders from AFR/AFC are you interested in brewing/building?
Wulfgar of Icewind Dale looks like a fun one. I haven't spent any time looking into what I would actually include, so I don't know if the deck would actually be interesting enough to put together. It's at least worth a look. Despite thinking that The Tarrasque is a relatively poor interpretation of...

I was more intrested in lingustics/AI part of cognitive science. The thing is that it is a high time I decided which studies I will pursue. And due to circumstances I have a seat on cognitive science in the top univeristy in my country, but at the same time it is a field that is little-known here. ...

Re: July 2021 Banlist Announcement
I am not surprised to see this get banned, what I am surprised is nothing got unbanned! they could have used this as an excuse to unban lutri, snice the rules change, lutri now cost six as a companion and no deck is willing to cast lutir for six mana , plus they edh rules already cover this by sayi...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
5E is a solid system. It's dialed back on a lot of the rules crunch compared to earlier editions, so it's pretty accessible (it was my wife's first TTRPG experience and she's gone all in, including trying out a couple other systems). You're good to get going with just the PHB, though the SRD has all...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Sleight of Hand
More broadly, do people play cantrips in decks with no synergies, just for consistency? Does that change if you're running a commander like Azami, Lady of Scrolls or Kami of the Crescent Moon that already provides card draw? Yes and yes for me. I like them as an easy way to hit land drops and other...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Sleight of Hand
All that said I think people really sleep on Portent - in control shells it's truly ridiculously good, plus the monstrous synergy with stuff like Oracle of Mul Daya . I thought you were talking Predict when I first read this and the statement pretty much holds the same. A little tougher to get the ...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
Can I get some opinions on something? I sold a bunch of RL cards. I have a newborn and a house that needs a new kitchen and just seems crazy to hold onto this stuff that I barely even play with. In any case, found out one of the cards, a Revised dual land, is fake!!! I found in my email receipts th...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
Not sure if just me but I haven't seen a single card that slots into my decks. There are a couple things I'll try out but nothing that seems like an obvious inclusion. That said, as someone who plays exclusively paper and face-to-face I'm not too broken up about it. I still have plenty of things to...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Jace's Sanctum
I've run it in a couple spellslinger and/or storm decks and been pretty consistently underwhelmed. It comes down a little too late to be a good setup card and it's not high impact enough to merit taking the time to play it once you're going off. The similar card I've been pleasantly surprised by is ...

I am the opposite, basically anything that's not super hoppy is something I can get down with, or at least tolerate. IPAs, Pale/Golden Ales, etc are a big no from me. Tastes like microwaved orange peels. Fun story, when I was in high school I was on a trip with a couple friends and we were sharing ...

Since there seem to be some knowledgeable coffee folk here, maybe I can get my setup fine-tuned by folks with more expertise. It's quite simple, really - I grind a medium roast Guatemalan large bean coffee to medium coarseness, fill up the moka pot with boiling water from the kettle, chuck the thin...

Cool cool. Thanks for enabling my intellectual laziness. I hadn't considered Curio in combination with Engineer, so I'll have to play around with that.

Re: Goblin Welder Package
@pokken, can you run through some of the Curio lines you're thinking of? I get the gist of it (tutor Curio with Engineer, recur Curio, bounce Engineer for another tutor), just curious about some of the next targets you like. That sounds like my kind of durdle.

I'm trying to come up with a way to contribute to the coffee flavor conversation without coming off as even more of a coffee snob than I already have or writing a treatise on the topic and I don't think I have it in me. I'll say that some people still have an idea that good coffee is as dark, caffei...

Re: MH2 Deck Changes
Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth in elves makes a lot of sense, arguably the best home for the card thanks to Eladamri, Lord of Leaves and Elvish Champion . Most elves decks I've played with/against feel more like critical mass combo decks than anything else. Tossing in a Yavimaya and a couple forestwalk...

No judgment here. You should drink what you like, even if I might roll my eyes a little at the people drinking milkshakes who claim they can't go without coffee.
