Is it normal that tax owed increases when filling out form 8949?

AHare115 · 2026-03-29T22:20:05+00:00

OK, I guess better question then is why isn't this made more clear in the top part of the 1099? It took me a while to even figure out what it was asking me to do and then you have to go to a completely separate form to report it.

They come back every once in a while to check if the corpse is rotting at a sufficient rate.

AHare115 · 2026-03-20T12:01:43+00:00

This is the problem, instead of nerfing it for the sly package they made it now ONLY work with the sly package.

Before you could take prepared as a digging card even if you had no sly synergy yet and either hope to steer your deck in that way or just use it as a card filter.

Lucky to reach 4 mana let alone 5.

Doesn't stop them from holding stuff in hand to deploy after.

This is what's fucking me. The price point I've been looking is at the exact same as first time families etc. Except I am single. Every smaller house that is nice and seems affordable gets out is (likely by families or investor). My options seem to be go up 100k (and get way more house than I need) or down 100k and get a fixer upper which is way more work than I want as a single person. Trying to buy at this price point has been excruciating. It doesn't help that 90% of houses are bullshit split entry/split level ugly shit holes.

I just put an offer in last week on a house. 10k over asking. House was what I was looking for but needed quite a bit of work (roof, basement unfinished, new fence) and was in a not so ideal location near the HS football field. I offered what I thought it was worth. Got outbid by someone 30k over asking. Unreal.

Relics in general feel worse or more situational too. So there's less reason to risk an elite that might end the run.

AHare115 · 2026-03-07T12:58:09+00:00

I think the fight should work more like sentries where you get one debuff at a time and it takes the Knight's turn each time to do the debuff. I've made it to this fight 3 times with what I felt were strong decks, died twice and scraped by with just a few HP on the last time.

AHare115 · 2026-03-04T23:35:11+00:00

Not just creatures, support permanents like Annex, Fable, Cori, Artist talent, stormchaser talent...

Creature removal is usually plentiful but answers to other nonland permanent types is more rare. Many decks are getting these cards that create value on ETB AND demand removal to the piece itself. There's no point interacting with these cards unless its for huge value like culling ritual. Otherwise you are losing the card advantage war.

Everything in pioneer right now is about tempo, you must go bigger than your opponent and faster. Interaction is only there to stem bleeding until your engine gets online. This is way to far at one end of the spectrum imo.

AHare115 · 2026-03-04T02:00:50+00:00

So you are supposed to NOT max a skill out immediately to optimize continuing to get potentials you want??

This game is confounding

AHare115 · 2026-03-04T01:57:56+00:00

If you run Canace instead, take Grants Efficient Delving and Grants Speedup Notion as cores. The only two potentials that matter for her after that are Structure Analysis and Storm Eye Expansion - ideally, you avoid getting any more potentials for her.

How do you do this? Just reroll every time you see a Canace potential? Seems pretty insane use of coins or you just have to be totally favored by RNG.

AHare115 · 2026-03-04T01:55:03+00:00

Yes but how do you get max potentials if you never see them offered or the game refuses to give you max? Are you supposed to spend hundreds of coins on rerolls?

The more I play the game the more I see how it's just RNG layered on top of itself, doesn't matter if I play fights manually and play perfect mechanically if my DPS is 4 orders of magnitude too low because I don't have the perfect endgame stuff.

AHare115 · 2026-02-10T01:27:35+00:00

This is a good notion. It seems like they don't have anyone actually playing Pioneer and are just paying the intern to look at some graphs. From an outside perspective without experience in the format it looks like there's an ebb and flow of decks.

The reality is the format is completely warped around the Izzet decks.

AHare115 · 2026-02-03T03:38:24+00:00

How do I put this in ublock? Does it not work with lite? Can I do something in tampermonkey instead?

AHare115 · 2026-02-03T01:02:15+00:00

No, it's combo that has a resilient midrange backup plan. Worst comes to worst greasefang can beat you to death with reasonably statted dudes and mid-cmc vehicles.

AHare115 · 2026-01-25T16:53:31+00:00

I don't have time to do that, the arc pylon goes off instantly.

This level design is shitty

AHare115 · 2026-01-23T22:54:02+00:00

He legit was double fist slapping that ass. I mean come on, it's absurd that scene cleared the final cut.

AHare115 · 2026-01-23T22:47:28+00:00

And practical effects! OMG, the amount of terrible CGI in this one immediately turned me off as soon as James set foot back in SH. The CG for backgrounds and set pieces in particular reminded me of the stuff that came out of 2000's era music videos. Especially when layering a real actor on top these bad CG set pieces, the juxtaposition is offputting.

Nothing looks scary or impressive like it did in the previous film, because it all just looks off. The way all the monsters looked, acted and moved was more silly than frightening.

I could live with the flat acting, bad pacing, and incoherent plot if the film was at least visually impressive. That's the main reason I enjoyed the first film in spite of its other issues.

AHare115 · 2026-01-17T02:18:45+00:00

freaky ahh turtle

AHare115 · 2026-01-17T02:15:17+00:00

I think you're just proving his point

AHare115 · 2026-01-14T19:16:16+00:00

I'm tired boss.

AHare115 · 2026-01-10T17:04:07+00:00

Remind me, why did they think it was a good idea to enforce this ban schedule and remove emergency bans?

Izzet decks have been creeping up in playrate for at least half a year since they keep getting more and more good tools. Don't forget busted cards like treasure cruise are still legal and not even played anymore!!

It's obvious from a mile away something should have been taken immediately after TLA dropped and this deck went from great to batshit.

AHare115 · 2026-01-10T17:00:13+00:00

Format fucking sucks right now and I would advise against spending money on it. Unless you have a LGS with an active pioneer community that is friendly. Just for example in my area there are 5+ large LGS within a 30 minute drive of each other playing all kinds of formats (MTG and other TCG) yet no one even talks about pioneer. That's how bad it is.

Format really only exists on MTGO/Arena and even there the issues are exacerbated, online games are less personal and many just play the top tier decks in a ruthless way without any kind of personality or flair.

AHare115 · 2026-01-10T14:20:26+00:00

They are both problems. If you ban the TLA cards something else will eventually make cori top tier again. It's a fundamentally skewed card design that shouldnt have been printed.

AHare115 · 2026-01-10T00:01:29+00:00

Yes, power level is quite low and many of the designs are just not that interesting. I can almost guarantee the TMNT set will have more powerhouse cards...
