Yeah. And it could have easily been flavored to Quandrix too. Minor fail there, Wizards.Legend wrote: ↑3 years agoIt irks me that Parallel Lives isn't in Quantum Quandrix and/or Strixhaven. It's LONG overdue for a reprint.
That's what I'm saying! It's flexible enough in flavor and function to fit in nearly any set.Sanity_Eclipse wrote: ↑3 years agoYeah. And it could have easily been flavored to Quandrix too.

Constant Mists on a similar note. Also also Wizards, give Titania a foil printing alreadySpeaking of reprints, does anyone else have that random ancient common/uncommon they're patiently waiting for a reprint of? Mine's Moment's Peace. I need a foil and can't quite be bothered to order one online.

We're best friends now.
Yes to all of this. The only reason these cards are expensive is refusal to engage in meaningful reprints. Sure, they are good, but they're not busted and deserve to see more play at all levels of competition in the game. Hell, even shocks in the precons would be a boon. They're good, but not disgustingly so and getting gouged for wanting a reasonable land base just gets my goat every damn build. Honestly, it's a super big reason I like my mono decks so much.
I run a Segway Ninebot with an extended power pack for extra battery life. It doesn't quite have the power that yours does, but even smashing around the streets at 30kph is hella fun.DirkGently wrote: ↑3 years agoJust dropped a few thousand on a new scooter (Kaabo Mantis)...holy cow is this thing fun.

I've been using a Xiaomi 365 for the past few months which does about the same, and it's been a real blast - been riding it to and from Hobbymaster for prereleases and FNMs. It's pretty rad to keep up with the traffic on Great South Rd now, though.toctheyounger wrote: ↑3 years agoI run a Segway Ninebot with an extended power pack for extra battery life.

Yeah mine's been great for the climb from the train station to work and vice versa. It shaves a full hour of transit from my day and that's pretty valuable.DirkGently wrote: ↑3 years agoI've been using a Xiaomi 365 for the past few months which does about the same, and it's been a real blast - been riding it to and from Hobbymaster for prereleases and FNMs. It's pretty rad to keep up with the traffic on Great South Rd now, though.toctheyounger wrote: ↑3 years agoI run a Segway Ninebot with an extended power pack for extra battery life.

It's awesome how cheap they are to operate. I've never really owned a car since I couldn't really justify the operating expenses when I usually live too close to work to bother with parking and whatnot. Obviously the range is way lower than a car, and they're not as good with rain, but there's no gas, no parking, no insurance. Just plug it in for a few hours a night and you've got great short-range transportation.toctheyounger wrote: ↑3 years agoYeah mine's been great for the climb from the train station to work and vice versa.

I do find people don't really know how to manage being around a scooter though. I hate being in crowds at the best of times, and people glued to their screens are a real concern for collisions. I don't mind being on the road if I have to, but I'm also very aware that there's not very much between the tarmac and me if anything goes wrong.
Oh I LOVE the expenses. Minimal costs to charge, super compact, and their range is better than you'd think, if it's needed. I'm a lot further out from the city centre than you are so I get less use from it than I otherwise would, but it's still usable for other 'round town errands and whatnot. Or just a blast for %$#% and giggles.DirkGently wrote: ↑3 years agoIt's awesome how cheap they are to operate.

Definitely have to be careful with crowds. I've driven mine a lot downtown since I live close to city center. Cars are much better at paying attention and moving in predictable ways, so I generally stick to the street. Been contemplating getting a leather/kevlar jacket, I don't love the idea of hitting pavement at 60kph. Though at least, unlike a motorcycle, you're not going to get trapped under anything.
Also it's sweet to be a pedestrian and/or a vehicle. Always feels great to blow past the cars downtown while they're stuck at a walk signal.
My first in 4 months was Swamp, Sol Ring, Talisman of Dominance, Gravecrawler. Sometimes it all just comes together nicely.TheGildedGoose wrote: ↑3 years agoUpdate: I got to play our children's card game and it was fun!
My first actual game in over a year and I open with Swamp, Sol Ring, Charcoal Diamond. Sigh.

This is true, but Sol Ring and Mana Crypt had a lot to do with it too. Did I mention that one of the lands he got with Reshape the Earth was Field of the Dead? Double yay!toctheyounger wrote: ↑3 years agoThus confirming that modern day Simic is the unequivocal, absolute f*cking worst.RxPhantom wrote: ↑3 years agoI played last week against a turn 2 Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait, into a turn 3 Reshape the Earth.

.It's interesting to me how Field of the Dead went from pretty meh responses on release to everyone being really over it.RxPhantom wrote: ↑2 years agoThis is true, but Sol Ring and Mana Crypt had a lot to do with it too.

Somehow Reshape the Earth escaped my notice. I should make room for that in my Korvold Lands matter deck.RxPhantom wrote: ↑2 years agoThis is true, but Sol Ring and Mana Crypt had a lot to do with it too.

I admit it is a powerful card if you build around it, but I don't quite understand all of the ambivalence.materpillar wrote: ↑2 years agoIt's interesting to me how Field of the Dead went from pretty meh responses on release to everyone being really over it.
Mine goes to 120kg (~265 lbs), I think most of the sportier scooters are in that range if you don't mind dropping the extra $$. Not cheap, but still cheaper than at least a couple of my cards. 27 year old cardboard vs vehicle that can accelerate to 50kph in a few seconds...hmm...
