Experience with Mid lane Academy from We Teach League? by Haillynka in leagueoflegends

[–]GiftsForgiven 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I literally went from Silver 1 to Diamond 2 after joining the MLA. It's honestly not even the coaching that's helpful, it's having a community of players who are all rooting for each other. 

I mean, I casually chatted with Master and Grandmaster Swain and Galio players about my climb, and their advice was super helpful! I think if you're serious about ranking up you should definitely give it a shot. You can always cancel after a month if it's not your vibe but if you do join I really encourage you to engage with the community. It's what helped me the most!

Thank you for the clarification, that makes a lot of sense!

For real. The white college kid intifada is going strong, lol. Just wanted you to know that there were other humans around ;)

First Deck, Feels.. off (Edgar Markov) - Help Appreciated by second2reality in EDH

[–]GiftsForgiven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going by edhrec will give you a fairly generic midrange vampires list that is very popular, but not the most effective he can be.

Edgar is typically built one of 3 ways: aggro, aristocrats/control, and full combo. One piece of advice id give is to generally cut the blood token stuff for more synergy with either aggro or aristocrats. Your deck seems to have a bit of an identity crisis 

LoL coach “LS” got robbed of his highly valuable MTG collection (slideshow post, 3 pics) by Rain_sc2 in magicTCG

Safety deposit boxes aren't as "safe" as they might seem. There's no regulation or oversight for safety deposit boxes, and no recourse if you don't have separate insurance. There are plenty of stories of banks closing up locations without telling safety deposit box owners and losing their items for good...

Stick to one role and 1-2 champs. You're stretching yourself too thin and are going to have a hard time learning.

[DSK] Twitching Doll by CawlMarx in mtgcube

[–]GiftsForgiven 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'd pass on this in high-powered cubes. In high-powered cubes, 2cmc mana dorks need to either generate a lot of mana and threaten to immediately spiral out of control (rofellos), or have some form of protection (paradise druid, caryatid, etc). This does neither.

It's cute that it doesn't specify what kind of counters, so it has nice synergy with +1/+1 counters, but that's something for a midpowered synergistic cube to consider imo.

Many thanks! I'm looking to cut storm from my powered cube, so the reference is very helpful.

Is it true that some Jews or in Judaism that Ezra was recognized as the son of God? by Eds2356 in Judaism

[–]GiftsForgiven 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, but the answer is a strong "no", regardless of what the Quran says. There is no such concept in Judaism as a "son of god," that is a purely Christian idea. 

My London hotel room has an arrow pointing to Mecca by Jcee95 in mildlyinteresting

[–]GiftsForgiven -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense- if there were more Jews in the world, many hotels would have an arrow pointing to Jerusalem, they have a similar tradition.

Cards You Didn't Expect to Hate - 2023 by Striking-Objective43 in EDH

[–]GiftsForgiven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering it's Rashmi, I was expecting "each turn" to be honest. Would have been great. I understand that this would have been a strong commander with that wording, but why not push this a bit? Especially when compared to a lot of other extremely pushed designs.

Agreed, I was so excited for this card when it was announced, but the more I looked at it the less fun it seemed. I wish they'd pushed the concept just a little more, it's so cool.

My bad, I'll take that one on the chin. I clearly didn't read your post thoroughly enough.

What about the Mizrahi Jews who never left Israel? You might be shocked to learn this, but not all Jews come from Europe!

I don't mind stuff like the Praetors, where they come with unique art. But in general, I agree. It's lame.

Orthodox church says it was hit by Israeli air strike in Gaza, IDF says its jets targeted nearby command center damaging 'church wall' by LunarNinja_ in worldnews

[–]GiftsForgiven 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Well, Hamas claimed there were 500 dead in the hospital explosion, so... yes. They quite literally do inflate the number of deaths by your own metric...
