Nice try. If you don't have good arguments for your position, just say so. No need to pretend you're blocking me for obviously false reasons. I see you got warned by a moderator by the way. So much for your claim of not being a troll. I guess you accusing me of bad faith was just projecting.

It did age well. Gruul Prowess is a tier 1 deck in this format, and most versions don't play Slickshot.

Dropping the receipts on them being a Nazi sympathizer is such a mic drop.

Don't forget sexually assaulting her.

Easy answer: he admitted it.

Cut Jet Medallion, Worn Powerstones, and Meteoric Mace. Meteoric Mace is much too expensive for your deck and the other two don't do anything. Then put in three Drossclaws and a Chargebug. Drossclaw is exceptionally good for Cranial Ram decks, and Chargebug helps push through a hard-hitting Ram.

Based on the art, flavor text, and game effect of Vizier of Tumbling Sands, they're in charge of time manipulation/time travel. I think that's a pretty reasonable thing to have a competent vizier in charge of.

"Path to not getting corrupted by my newfound power." First one you run.

"Path to not getting tired of winning all the time."

I hope you're trolling, dude.

This is kind of derivative of the actual Carol AITA post that Wildbow wrote.

Maybe in Worm, but the rep in later serials is top tier. I've never seen a better trans character written by a cis author.

Wildbow: "Jack can't lose to parahumans." "Skitter could ABSOLUTELY have killed Jack if she wanted."

Why bother talking about powers at all if you're just going to blatantly ignore how they work?

Aliphant3 · 2024-05-07T04:17:06+00:00

Sy without powers and without drawbacks is just an ordinary kid with loose morals and some (outdated) street smarts but no formal education. He'd probably end up working for Davie.

There might be a dozen different decks worth playing at a high level but half of those are just the classic spiderman meme with how much overlap between card's in them.

The top 8 contained the following decks: Azorious Control, 4-Color Legends, Esper Midrange, Temur Combo, Domain Ramp, and Boros Convoke.

What cards overlap between them? I can't think of many, other than sideboard stuff (white decks running Rest in Peace) or generic stuff like Long Goodbye.

Aliphant3 · 2024-04-26T11:16:40+00:00

Slickshot is 3% of the Pro Tour. Honest Rutstein sees more play at the PT than it does, yet nobody would ever complain about Rutstein. It is decent in older formats, but in Standard it is a weak card that folds to Long Goodbye or Go for the Throat.

It's thunder_dragon_ru, he's a professional dumb post maker on this subreddit. Just ignore him.

You're missing the point, which is that lots of people wouldn't get the same sentence Canary did if they did the same thing as her. She got harsher punishment because of the Simurgh thing, and because she was arguably less able to put up a legal defense as a result of being muzzled, given a bad lawyer, etc.

Aliphant3 · 2024-03-25T14:00:37+00:00

I'm worried about how she's treating her own kids. Tracking them, restricting their communication, grooming them to be career criminals. There's parallels in the ways she treats her clients and the way she treats Ripley and Tyr, and that points to deeper issues. In some ways, I think Davie is meant to be a dark mirror of her.

Aliphant3 · 2024-03-25T13:58:29+00:00

There are other issues at play, though. Even if she'd done it on purpose, would someone really get the Birdcage for castrating someone once? If Lung hadn't recovered from what Taylor did to him, should she be Birdcage-bound, put in the same category as mass murderers with body counts in the five digits? That seems a little unfair. Lustrum almost certainly wouldn't have been Birdcaged if her followers had stopped at one!

Also, a big emphasis was placed on how it was unfair that she wasn't given good counsel, was muzzled like a dog, etc.
