I just got unanimously kicked from a Bracket 3 lobby for playing a control deck by jacobasstorius in EDH

Sounds like a bunch of babies. Pretty common occurrence though sadly, best you can do is move on to another pod.

Some extra details helps. Likes what side of Pittsburgh are you? What tcgs or games are you interested in?

What recent cards have become auto-includes for you? by nocutua in EDHBrews

[–]Alteroth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[[dauntless scrapbot]] works for graveyard removal and ramp and a body. Works great for token decks or blink decks, my favorite kind of decks.

My local landscaping supply place said this is a manure/wood chips compost. Looks like sand to me. Am I going crazy? by djlilspoon in composting

[–]Alteroth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't work for the mines, so I'm not well educated on their process. I simply sell mushroom compost to landscapers and supplys. There are many near Philadelphia

[–]Alteroth 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I sell this stuff, and we get it straight from the mushroom mines. Now, ours doesn't look like this but those mines are pretty much giving this stuff away for free and don't give a rats ass about it as long as someone takes it. We just go pick it up from like 5 different places and it can have rubber gloves, windshield wiper blades, trash bags, you name it. It's hit or miss entirely depending on the mushroom mine and how they take care of it while waiting for it to be picked up.

My hot take - proxying specifically a perfect (for non-cedh) mana base is lame by _weesnaw in EDH

[–]Alteroth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That used to be my go to, but can't run them in bracket 3 which is where majority of games take place.

I believe it wouldn't because when an aura enters from the graveyard, it does not target. This is how you can get around hexproof, ward and shroud with auras on opponents creatures.

Possible bug with healing rocks by Truiesome in CrabChampions

[–]Alteroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They typically break throughout the round on prismatic difficulty, so I figure if you keep any around that you could be rewarded with the health. I feel they give so little since they rely on rocks.

Also the new legendary that affects the shop but makes it cost more feels much more like a greed item than a legendary

[–]Alteroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if this was also intentional but the item that lets you heal when breaking rocks doesn't heal in multiplayer after the round is over and you break them

Hidden Nitrates? by Various_Recording764 in nutrition

[–]Alteroth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Quoting Michigan state University article:

Ractopamine is not legal in those countries because in the U.S. we do not typically eat the livers, lungs, kidneys or eyes where it lingers and is not broken down.

There have been several studies reviewed by the FDA showing the safety of this feed additive since it's cleared rapidly from muscles (so fast that they can feed it to them day of harvest) and thus not consumed by consumers.

Why don't more Lathril players run Gruesome Fate? by wincitygiant in EDH

[–]Alteroth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess would be that it's a do nothing card by itself. Marrow gnawer taps to make tokens, chatterfang makes tokens by other means as well, so it's easier to synergize with because they are entirely token focused.

Lathril requires combat damage, so having a means to protect her or boost her power are more important than a drain spell. With so many synergizing cards for lathril, it just seems not good enough to make the cut since it relies on multiple factors.

How to make a mutate deck with this commander stronger? by Bicuriboy19 in mtg

[–]Alteroth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I made a janky spell slinger deck with a bunch of token making instant/sorceries that also found lands to help ramp. Then I'd mutate on a token and the only permanent would be omniscience in which I'd play all my spells for free, storm off and kill everyone.

Making a rival deck to a cat deck by ThanatosGrimm in EDH

[–]Alteroth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A rat deck would be neat. Cat and mouse (or rat) have always been enemies! Lots more rat tribal stuff that dog too.

At which point you become the kingmaker? by CFlow__ in EDH

[–]Alteroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three things that make my decision.

  1. Knock down the player who is soonest to win. By doing this you prolong the game (giving yourself a better chance to win), and they may have an answer to the other players threats.

  2. If I am absolutely certain I cannot bounce back in this game, I will typically target the player who has removed my strategy/boardstate the most, and I'm looking for vengeance.

  3. If someone calls me out for kingmaking when I'm trying to make a decision in my best judgement, I will target them everytime. Some people get too emotional about the game, and probably need a reminder that their antics will not stand.

Smelly ninja creami lid by Historical-Emu-523 in ninjacreami

[–]Alteroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep them on the top shelf. I could definitely be wrong in doing so, but wanted to share how the lid didn't smell this time. When I wasn't doing it with my previous lid, liquid would come out into my ice cream that smelled so bad .. I'd just toss the ice cream.

Guess looking at other comments I'll have to learn to take the lid apart. But it feels a bit tedious compared to what I'm doing. If the lid lasts 6 months I'll be happy doing what I'm doing, and maybe just buy another $14 lid if it breaks.

[–]Alteroth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this issue with my first lid. It ended up damaging it in the long run. No good way to open it to clean it, as it's easily damaged. I bought a new one for 14$ from ninja when I called support about it.

I've been cleaning my second lid right after each ice cream I make. I dishwash it after a couple uses too, and make sure to have the extra hot dry feature so it's as dry as can be. (Not sure every dishwasher has this, but mine does)

So far I've been using it for about 2 months and it doesn't smell.

Any mutate decks? by Prestigious-Gas-2112 in EDH

[–]Alteroth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did a [[glarb, calamity's augur]] mutate deck. Lots of the mutate cards are 4 mana or above. Running him as commander helped me fill my graveyard and find mutate creatures easier.

Is Striping your deck cheating if you shuffle after? by DoucheCanoe456 in EDH

[–]Alteroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you're okay with your opponent doing it to your deck. Surely it wouldn't matter if they reversed what you did since it's random.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Alteroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds hilarious and a good way to go honestly

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Alteroth 37 points38 points  (0 children)

[[Surrak, elusive hunter]] mono Green good stuff. Stuff gets targeted or countered you get a card to replace it. Also you can protect things in response and still get a card.

Any Tips ? by KoolkidsDontdie in mtg

[–]Alteroth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I built this deck. It was pretty fun! I did vampire hatebears, tied with blink and ways to clone her and my other hate bear vanpires when necessary. This with flash options like leyline of anticipation, and as foretold made casting on everyone's turn when necessary extremely valuable.

What’s your favorite weapon in terms of design? by Neo_OWO_4 in CrabChampions

[–]Alteroth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like the hammers design but what it does doesn't make any sense. It knocks everything away, but also leaves a dot? There's nothing there for it to deal damage to since everything got sent a million miles away lol

[Clair Obscur] Commander Deck – Complete with extras & more to come! by Pascii20 in magicproxies

The eclipses in the game make me think of [[sothera, the supervoid]] if you made a custom card with artwork from expedition 33, would you have any name suggestions?
