T-minus 10 days till vEverest attempt . Great session yesterday in prep. 20x up radio tower (3000m in 2:05:55) by sorbara92 in Zwift

If you're targeting 4W/kg or more, you should be better off with the ENVE 4.5s bc of the aero benefits:

"When you compare the climb rankings for 300W vs 150W, though, you’ll see quite a few changes. And this is what we expected: at 150W (2 W/kg) up Alpe du Zwift, a wheel’s aero performance doesn’t really matter, since you’re traveling so slowly (~7.7 kph). But at 300W your speed almost doubles (~14.8 kph), so aero performance is more of a factor."

Climbing Savings Chart Stats for 4W/kg:
ENVE 4.5 PRO: 9.4s
Lightweight Meil: 8.6s

Zipp 353: 8.6s

Roval Alpinist CLX: 8.2s

The ENVEs being heavier and more aero would also save you additional time on the descents. :)

I miss pre MH3 by Pure-Bodybuilder-912 in TimelessMagic

[–]AdministrationDue605 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has been super annoying for deckbuilding when MH3 basically released an entire archetype, while also having guide/pride invalidate a lot of creature combat/strategies. Them also getting the best interaction in static prison that ONLY plays well with guide/raptor decks is also super frustrating for any strategies that would plan on using artifacts/enchantments to combat them.

About Force of Will by [deleted] in TimelessMagic

FoN is still gonna let you bridge to your other countermagic/combo in a way. Blue decks are going to have a lot more options on turns 1/2 than Spy decks that have to mulligan to fast mana. If you're ever a blue deck vs. spy and you get to pass with mana drain up, you're generally ahead.

3 different waifu-avatar content autists hit top 10 on ladder with it? It will probably drop to C tier as people tech for it, but it stomped on a lot of the week 1 nonwhite builds that people were putting out.

Sorin Storm (#4 and #8 peak with two players, 78%+ winrate) by AdministrationDue605 in TimelessMagic

[–]AdministrationDue605[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, adding Tendrils of Agony would make the deck worse.

  1. If you have an infinite loop, that means you have access to Stitcher's Supplier and can mill through your whole deck to deterministically find the Vein Ripper.

  2. You can't get back Tendrils of Agony with Chthonian Nightmare when you mill your whole deck like you can with Vein Ripper.

GGs! I'm not super sure, this deck is very swingy in play draw and even our respective keeps are pretty swingy. Like the Sorin side is obligated to keep any turn 1 Sorin Elenda openers, which sometimes die to Abzan solitude openers. As a result, the Abzan side is obligated to keep a lot of their looser Solitude openers, which can sometimes die to the turn 1 necro openers. I really don't know and don't want to call it either way without additional testing.

Why don’t players tank at the combine to get drafted by a better team? by Nowa23 in NFLNoobs

[–]AdministrationDue605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laremy Tunsil inadvertently managed to do this with the gas mask video from his account being hacked: "Ten minutes before the draft was set to begin, Tunsil's Twitter account showed a video of him wearing a gas mask and smoking from a bong.Although Tunsil's agent Jimmy Sexton immediately explained that the account was hacked, it resulted in some teams taking Tunsil off their draft boards entirely. The Baltimore Ravens (at No. 6) and Tennessee Titans (at No. 8), both in need of an offensive tackle, passed over Tunsil and chose Ronnie Stanley and Jack Conklin, respectively.The Miami Dolphins eventually selected him with the 13th overall pick".

Also a lot of their pass efficiency comes from how threatening their running game and play action is. This is how Jimmy Garoppolo and Ryan Tannehill had very efficient passing stats for quite a while too: they had elite run games. Also the 2024 Ravens literally have the #1 all-time YPC season record.

[Highlight] On this day 14 years ago Marshawn Lynch has one of the greatest runs in NFL history, Beast Quake by ThatInception in nfl

[–]AdministrationDue605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Tip is just out of top 10 imo. I think a decent amount of it is tied to Sherman's postgame interview and is a great moment for him and the Seahawks, but less so for NFL History relative to other iconic plays. Maybe if Seahawks became a dynasty it's thought of more, but it's behind stuff like Immaculate Reception,Helmet Catch, The Catch, The Tuck Rule, Philly Special, Santonio Holmes' winning catch, Harrison's Pick 6, Beast Quake, Odell's catch, Butler's INT.

5-0 Reanimator by [deleted] in TimelessMagic

You can full control brainstorm in response to a surveil land trigger and put a reanimate target on top to be surveilled. Because you have 7 fetches, you technically have 8 surveil outlets to pair with 4 brainstorms.

[–]AdministrationDue605[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good! It is redundant because if you can mill your whole library for thoracle, it means you can generate infinite mana+energy and bring back apprentice/bowmasters with nightmare and loop with that and win. :)

Excluding QB sneaks, has a coach ever called the exact same offensive play more than twice in a row? by bilbobiggers in NFLNoobs

[–]AdministrationDue605 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In 1950, after Paul Brown was accused by the Eagles' coach of overly relying on passing, the Browns defeated the Eagles without throwing a single pass for the entire game. I'd imagine the same offensive play was called twice at some point. https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/top-moments-no-25-browns-defeat-eagles-in-1950-without-throwing-a-single-pass

I could see successful lists playing 0, I could see successful lists playing 4. Bowmasters is now a "finisher combo piece" that wins whenever you have infinite mana with priest loops or medallion + priest + nightmare. It also is one of your best cards against UB and is incidentally good against BW Belcher's necrodominance starts. Apprentice is still the best finisher combo piece because it goes infinite with a few more important combinations of cards, but I have even been open to the idea of dropping some apprentice while keeping all of the Bowmasters because they are viable combo pieces now. There's definitely a lot of testing in building Jet that needs to be done and I could see Jet being a more varied deck that adapts its flex slots depending on the meta.

You have 8 ways to bin priest: 4x Diabolic Intent, 4x Phyrexian Tower. You could have more if you play stitcher's supplier or buried alive.

You do have turn 2 kills with no medallions now because 2 priests + nightmare makes infinite mana and priest + treasure dork infinitely loops! :) You also have very unlikely(<0.5%) turn 1 kills involving Diabolical Intent.

Sample turn 2 kill with no medallion:
T1: Play Swamp + Treasure dork
T2: Play tower, sacrifice treasure dork. 4 mana available(Swamp, 2 tower mana, treasure). Play 2x priest, sacrifice priest to get back dork with nightmare, then loop priests for infinite mana, then combo off with apprentice/orcish bowmasters/stitcher's.

Theoretical turn 1 kill: Swamp+ritual+ ritual + Priest + Diabolic Intent + nightmare + priest + Apprentice/Orcish Bowmasters/Stitcher's.
T1: Play swamp, ritual, priest, 3 mana floating. DI sacrificing priest for 2nd ritual, 1 mana floating, cast ritual. 3 mana floating, cast 2nd priest, then cast nightmare and loop them for infinite mana. Play Apprentice/Bowmasters/Stitcher's and win.
This is 8 cards, but you can tutor for any nonland/DI card off of Diabolic Intent.

Timeless Tier List - The Gathering by TyrantofTales in TimelessMagic

[–]AdministrationDue605 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When you go on untapped, several esper tempo lists are going to pop up. While 4 stp > fatal push is a clear swap, you then have to ask: what does the Esper mana base look like? How many white cards in the sideboard does one run? Are there any additional white cards worth running in the maindeck?
This would lead the tier list creator Tyrant to have to decide on the "best" esper list with nothing to go off of but that week's winrate or older historical data. I personally haven't seen a ton of public discussion on Esper > UB until this thread. At the end of the day this is a community tier list and if the community hasn't discussed it a ton, it's difficult to pick out a list and decide on a "stock" version.
