It was definitely one of those "popular" hard seltzers. I decided to see what all the fuss was about (I much prefer cocktails - long island iced tea, espresso latte, white russian), but wow did these suck. They felt empty and tasted like air. No substance to them and I cant imagine how anyone finds them attractive. Ugh.TheAmericanSpirit wrote: ↑3 years ago
Off topic: Do tell, which brand did you in? Was it some kind of foreign cocktail or simply an unadulterated brown bag of demise? Or perhaps those inexplicably popular hard seltzers (made for a previously untapped market of people who apparently want the alcohol content of PBR with even less flavour)?
That %$#% will make you sick. I get sick from them before I get a buzz. The combo of carbonation, alcohol, way too much sugar, and whatever other %$#%$#% they put in them just screws up my stomach. Never drank enough to puke from them, just enough to feel like I ate glass. I used to be able to drink one and be fine, like with dinner or something, but now even one with food leaves my stomach upset. Now I stick with good beer or a decent whiskey on the rocks. Enjoy it going down and don't pay for it afterwards.3drinks wrote: ↑3 years agoIt was definitely one of those "popular" hard seltzers.

Least I tried them before brushing them off. Need to get that taste outta my memory now 🤮
That's exactly what triggered the reaction. I shot three back to back like I do my cocktails and thought nothing of it. It was only latre i realized my mistake...never again, lesson learned. Shame it cost me $15 to learn it. If people are drinking these to have a drink and not the calories....whew, their poor iron stomachs. I salute them and simultaneously feel sorry for them.onering wrote: ↑3 years agoThat %$#% will make you sick. I get sick from them before I get a buzz.

Great to know it works like I thought. And yeah the flavour is supreme.DirkGently wrote: ↑3 years agoYep, it's a race to cast the spell before the pirate leaves the battlefield. If they kill him in response, you never get the card. Once you've cast it, it's yours (until the bounce it, ofc).
This can create tricky spots where you have to decide whether to wait until you can cast it right away, or take it and hope they can't deal with the hostage taker.
Overall cool card, and a solid pirate with good flavor. More interesting play patterns than your run-of-the-mill Control Magic which tends to be "do you have enchantment removal or not?" Real bastard in limited, though.
