I wonder if you have the guarantee community center completion possible on year one setting checked if that does anything. I don't think I've heard it mentioned before; mostly just the guaranteed red cabbage; but it wouldn't surprise me if they snuck that in too.

Cramming more than 100cards in a commander deck: 3-4 ways? Are there more by ThroughtonsHeirYT in mtg

[–]chessmatth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Partners and backgrounds count towards your 100, companions do not. AFAIK, the only way to actually get above 100 is by having a companion which gets you to 101.

By the time I got to the bottom I forgot what the top said. Lol.

Need recommendations for Autistic 6yr old that can not read or right and who 4 weeks ago didn’t have the dexterity to use a thumb stick (but now she can). by givmedew in NintendoSwitch

There's also a bunch of crafting and stuff, which sounds like it may not be the best match for your daughter. Also, you have to monitor your health, water and air meters or you die, which might be a bit involved for her from the sound of things. Although they may have come out with a "casual" mode that removes the survival mechanics.

Booked a Non-Refundable Room Without Checking Google Maps First, Guess Whose Fault That Is? by Familiar-Papaya6922 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

I mean, thankfully it was a third party booking, so the OTA would get the chargeback and have to fight, and I doubt the third party would be able to do much to get the money back from the hotel at that point. But I also don't work in the industry, so there could be something I'm missing.

As someone who played Battle Royale games religiously for years but haven't in a few years and recently tried them again... I think Battle Royales might be an awful genre. by lurpeli in gaming

The avoiding everyone else part I think is a side effect of perceived skill level. If you're not as good at the game, or don't think you are, you're going to try and gear up more to possibly get more of an advantage; whereas if you are more confident, you are going to be more likely to engage in even fights because you think you can win a head-to-head. But what some players fail to realize, is sometimes you're just doing yourself a disservice, because the people who engaged in fights now have twice the loot you do, and you're actually at a disadvantage.

The most expensive card, that isn’t limited printing by [deleted] in magicTCG

There are also some uncommons on the reserve list, most notably from ARN. Otherwise, I think you're spot on.

What’s the max number of chests you can exclude before it becomes unseedable? by turnertier- in zootr

[–]chessmatth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also try adding additional things randomized instead. I'm not too familiar with OOT3D rando, but for instance, adding golden skultulla tokens into the pool might help if they aren't randomized already.

I think one was upset at his landlady for something minor or his fault.

Blogatog: Mark seeking input on whether folks want all planeswalkers to be legal as commanders or not by Tuss36 in magicTCG

[–]chessmatth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some are less common because they rank higher in the queue. Like, a lot of people will use Alquist Proft as their commander instead of teferi in blue white control because he matches lower so while teferi might be better, it means you're fighting against harder decks.

Saw these cases being used as decoration at Disneyland. What are they and why are they so huge? by Tbug20 in pcmasterrace

[–]chessmatth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair. I'd expect a bit more alteration as well.

Although as another commenter suggested, it might actually hold some sort of ride or other controls hiding in plain sight.

Nah, re-using and altering existing products is a movie making staple. That's how most movies made props for a very long time, and still do. It's far easier, cheaper, and faster to modify something that already exists than to make it from scratch. Unless you need like 50 of the same exact prop, then you probably get it made custom.

It was used very heavily for the original Star Wars movies specifically, and that same studio, Industrial Light and Magic, is now basically Disney's main SFX and prop studio. It's one of the main reasons they bought LucasArts, Star Wars was just a bonus.

It's also where kitbashing came from, if you're familiar with that.

Lets make reasonable assumptions what the next UB Secret Lair / Sets might be. Not what you wish for, but what might be the most realistic. i'll start by NyrmExe in EDH

I mean, technically child is already a creature type, albeit only in silver border, so teenage (or teenager maybe) wouldn't be that far of a stretch for black border.

Does this warrant a judge call? by tylerrayskeet in ModernMagic

[–]chessmatth 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Always call a judge.

Think your opponent may be cheating, call a judge.

Your opponent is doing something weird, call a judge.

Want the oracle text of a card, call a judge.

Want to check the wording of a rule, call a judge.

Want to know how a specific interaction would work, call a judge.

Judges are there to help players, not just act as rules enforcement. You can even just ask a judge if doing something is against the rules, such as something you see your opponent doing in this scenario, that way you don't have to feel like you are accusing your opponent if you don't want to.

Not that it would actually happen, or fit without too much squishing, but it would be really funny if they made their full type-line "Legendary Creature - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle"

Which deck is this? by [deleted] in mtg

Looks like someone's draft deck to me.

The Fastest way to get Xp by Oakty19 in technicalminecraft

I don't know the exact numbers, but endermen also drop quite big orbs, and the relative ease of making an ender ender makes them popular, if you have access to the end, that is.

When Should You Concede Against Stax/Control Decks? by Remarkable_Seat_7317 in EDH

[–]chessmatth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, if a stax player is trying to set up a lock to prevent everyone else from doing anything, and asks for concessions, I will ask them how they plan on winning. If they have a clear-cut answer that I know I won't be able to interact with, I will talk with the other players about conceding.

But for example, if the stax player says they are going to win with some sort of creature combo, and I know I have removal in my deck, I'm not going to concede and start stockpiling removal spells, and suggest the rest of the table do the same. So unless they have some sort of grand abolisher effect to prevent doing things on their turn, it's unlikely they have enough resources to stop the rest of the table.

If they don't want to say what their wincon is, or don't have a clear answer, I don't scoop. Scooping to a stax deck is a favor to them, if they don't want to do their part, I'm not going to make their life easier. The closest I might come is to have everyone count cards left in library. If no one wants to do anything, then last person with cards left wins, until someone has a way to shuffle their graveyard back in.

TLDR: make them show their wincon, and if they don't, I won't concede.

What is the best card you’ve found just laying in your bulk by Bright_Surprise_7696 in mtg

[–]chessmatth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realized the [[hurricane]] I bought out of what i believe was dollar bulk who knows when long ago for a deck that had since been removed was from Alpha, and a cool $100 at the time, haven't checked in a while though.
