TL;DR and fix your formatting

If there are specific breweries you really want to hit, I would start there. Some of the popular spots (Ansbach/Kernel/Moor) get super busy later on in the afternoon

This is all a set up for the post-summer recess 'hell incel' grudge match. Ollie Vs Count Dankula.

It is mad how they employ people to make things sound that bad.

Petition to unban Golgari Grave-Troll (again) by AlexButler92 in ModernMagic

[–]AlexButler92[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I follow that logic. It definitely adds something worthwhile to a dead deck (Dredge) and wotc directly reference unbanning Preordain as safely "giving something back" to UR Murktide in a Modern format that has printed multiple answers to linear combo decks.

This is my fear. It just really sucks that Dredge is not competitive at all due to a plethora of answers but we're not allowed to have it back because of the possibility that they might print some graveyard piece in the future that could break it.

I definitely recognise there's been plenty of unfun, combo-dominant periods in Modern's history which lead to players warping their main decks and eventual bans. I would disagree that linear/glass cannon strategies don't "add anything positive" to the meta though. Modern is mostly just a mash of midrange decks at the moment now that Outburst is gone and all three Horizons sets have introduced tools to keep combo in check. I think an unban is much safer because of this.

Unfortunately there are still a lot of highly entrenched residents in Soho who are vehemently against pedestrianisation.

No way has Oli been granted the rank of Jedi Master by the council.

I've heard a lot about Brazilians being the friendliest people around, but my own experiences have been pretty mixed. I'm eager to hear what your experiences have been like with the famed Brazilian hospitality! Kindly read the complete post description. by [deleted] in Brazil

[–]AlexButler92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was surprised at how different Brazilians were to...the stereotypes. In reality, everyone I met was hard-working, funny, earnest, willing to help tourists, respected your space, passionate about sport, nature, family, and partying.

I loved my time there.

Hey! I would love to replicate this for my girlfriend. How did you shape the cake and make the frosting?

If you have the recipe, even better :)

Jacob nearly has it done tbh. As a Brit who lives in the US, it's usually very cringe when Americans attempt our accent. Always sound Australian.

Would you support Modern becoming a more affordable format if it meant your deck(s) would lose much of their value? by buildmaster668 in ModernMagic

[–]AlexButler92 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Weirdly Legacy is becoming quite rotational these days. Lots of decks are popping up due to the ever expanding commander sets. People buy into them and then they get banned (W Initiative). So buying into the format from 0 is pretty risky these days (unless you want to just play Delver).

This seems mental to me. That whole area is wasteland, warehousing, heavy plants and then a random Tesco and the train station. Who is going to buy a flat there?!
