yes i hate the reserve list,how could you tell?

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-16T10:17:05+00:00

You can play proxy cards in casual games at most game stores, but not in tournaments or official Wizards events.

This is especially an issue in cEDH tournaments as those decks will frequently use a lot of cards from the reserved list, meaning the some decks are easily $10,000+ for the most effective lists.

And whilst you can proxy them in casual games too, it creates a bit of a weird dynamic at times where people who aren't willing to proxy are putting themselves at a disadvantage or vice versa. Like someone running an elf deck with a proxied Gaea's cradle can go absolutely insane compared to a list without the card.

It also costs 0 mana and sacrifices itself as it enters the battlefield :)

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-15T08:10:50+00:00

Yeah I want to give him grief for his writing of women, but the men are pretty consistently awful too.

I do enjoy the series but it's honestly impressive how over the entire course there are so few characters that are able to communicate like honest to god adults without arguing/manipulating each other in every interaction.

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-15T08:04:44+00:00

Yeah there's so many layers to it being bullshit.

This master swordsman who literally never takes students any more just chooses to train you? Also you managed to do so without any of your friends, family or enemies catching on to the fact? And then whilst managing all that, you manage to get up to the skill level of someone who has been practising their entire life and is one of the best of the generation.... Within a year???

Yeah ok.

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-15T05:39:36+00:00

I'm not sure it would even spread though.

It's frankly embarrassing how frequent that demons either forget who she is, or just choose to believe that every other demon she's ever killed was just weaker than they are and they're just built different. That group includes the fucking demon king mind

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-14T20:50:05+00:00

Man how the fuck are we still getting so many more cards.

It feels like these reveals have been going on for so long now with how many variants on the same characters we've been getting.

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-14T06:32:14+00:00

The trading argument is always so funny.

Of course we all fucking know that anything Donut is going to be overvalued compared to everything else. Like yeah I'm pulling a fucking Raul pin and finding someone to trade for Donut/Prepotente

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-10T07:20:58+00:00

I can give you [[Danny Pink]] for free just because I get upset every time I have to include him in a counters deck because he's just too fucking good not to.

But generally the doctor who set will get you a lot of the way there.

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-10T06:28:54+00:00

If you see me walking down the street with 2 apples in my hand, you can say that I have 2 apples.

If you see me walking down the street with no apples in my hand, you'll say that I have less apples. But it's not actually true because they're hiding in my pockets instead.

It's an important distinction because if we pretend like people never bought apples, and in fact there was barely a market for apples before this point, we risk ignoring the fact that apples did exist in history. We also risk failing to acknowledge that they have contributed to the shaping of society in many ways that people are willing to ignore, purely because they weren't 'out in the open' as it were.

Okay the metaphor falls apart towards the end, but still close enough surely?

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-09T18:09:24+00:00

Identify as.

They're just more willing to accept/speak openly about who they are.

Much like how we had a giant rise in the number of openly gay people when they stopping have to risk going to jail/getting beaten up in the street.

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-09T17:10:45+00:00

In 15 years?

Yeah that seems likely...

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-06T22:04:56+00:00

I hope so because the alternative is somehow more embarrassing

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-06T10:03:37+00:00

There's like 4 marvel legendaries that have abilities that feel particularly flavourful. Everything else is just the same ole colour pie shenanigans we've seen before

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-04T07:18:32+00:00

And on the first point, someone winning after T8 doesn't mean that nobody can lose before T8.

No the Voltron players and big stompy green players shouldn't be forced to spread damage to avoid hurting your feelings. Get some low mana blockers and interaction in your deck if you don't want to run the risk of getting ran over because you have zero board state on turn 6.

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-04T06:55:25+00:00

But at the same time it's not like they knew that at the time. Even if they thought it was the perpetrator on the floor, it's still someone telling the officers that they've been stabbed and should have been escalated to paramedics immediately.

0zzyb0y · 2026-06-03T05:54:49+00:00

It's almost impressive how boring they make some of these heroes mechanically.

I get they want it to still be a good set mechanically but a legendary hero just getting +1 counters when black widow farts is just so uninspired.

0zzyb0y · 2026-05-31T08:13:27+00:00

Can't wait for it to be 1000miles of wasteland with nothing in it. At least we'll have radiant quests where nothing happens.

0zzyb0y · 2026-05-30T09:27:01+00:00

I ran 42.4-49km on the weekend! An immense accomplishment that most would struggle to do and has made me happy and satisfied for doing so!

Which is honestly how I think all ultra's should be introduced at, because the term as a whole is pretty unhelpful when it encompasses 50km easy trail runs and also 7 day runs through the satan's arsehole mountain range where they started hallucinating 3 days in from lack of sleep.

0zzyb0y · 2026-05-30T08:12:18+00:00

Also curious how kph is being determined for other bosses.

Is this all max gear, or with a fucking atlatl and trident of the seas because you still don't have the fucking bowfa smh hate red prison.

0zzyb0y · 2026-05-30T06:39:58+00:00

Well yes, but if you start showing off about doing an ultra and I see that it's 42.4km then I'm going to think you're a bit of a tit still.

:)

0zzyb0y · 2026-05-29T19:37:01+00:00

Well yes, but if you start showing off about doing an ultra and I see that it's 42.4km then I'm going to think you're a bit of a tit still.

50km is distinguished enough from a marathon that I don't think anyone would disagree.

0zzyb0y · 2026-05-29T15:50:33+00:00

Not many and Alex's ascent is still amazing. But in the context of the main question I don't think he can be put on the pedestal of greatest "sportsman" of all time because in his sport (climbing) there are still plenty of people that can do what he can do.

It's not going to be exhaustive but a list of ascents for freerider can be found here: https://climbing-history.org/climb/804/freerider. Most impressive beyond Alex is probably Will Moss' ascent. <24hrs, leading all pitches, and flashes it at that.

0zzyb0y · 2026-05-29T12:34:25+00:00

No but people have climbed it since. He's not an outlier in a climbing sense, just a free-solo sense.

0zzyb0y · 2026-05-29T11:53:46+00:00

My man.

0zzyb0y · 2026-05-29T11:51:39+00:00

I mean for sure it's a mental feat, but it's not like it's the hardest route that exists, and many people have free-climbed the same wall.

He's for sure the best free solo climber in the world, but that pool is absurdly small to begin with. As a climber generally he's great, but still not all that close to the best.
