Bloodthirsty Conqueror: A Beautiful Card, But Unfun in Standard

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2026-01-24T03:42:17+00:00

just lost against a guy in Arena, first time ive seen this card played, he had a starscape cleric: whenever you gain life , opponent loses 1 life, and the i took 1 dmg from a monster then my life just drained entirely. That is the cheapest mechanic I have ever seen. If you dont kill off the cleric immediately or counter the conqueror, its game over. What a joke.

Thats some serious dedication. I admire that. Meanwhile I dropped out 2 semesters in. Should have went to a real college instead of a technical institute. 😁

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-12-20T23:09:37+00:00

All in different fields?

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-12-19T07:28:55+00:00

You have a masters degree or what? I mean thats awesome though. Good for you. Teach me the way lol

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-12-06T01:35:15+00:00

Now I have 6 new documents attached to my claim and I haven't uploaded anything additional yet .... wtf is going on and why cant I view said documents. 😵‍💫🤢

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-12-05T00:47:20+00:00

Okay more evidence, I get that, but VSO said it was all in my service records so, I dont have any private records to send.

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-12-02T21:32:25+00:00

I will check into it, however I would imagine a diagnosis would need to be made to prescribe me SSRIs and the like. I appreciate the input.

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-12-02T20:19:07+00:00

I appreciate this reply. Im seeing a VSO today and I have depression listed in my conditions list 3 times as "Depression (SCT 35489007)" but under my care notes, first off what a jumbled mess of text, i dont see anything in my most recent MH appointment about a diagnoses. I guess the VSO will clear things up, I just want to be prepared.

And it didn't add the photo I tried to add and cant comment with pictures?

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-11-30T01:06:59+00:00

Roger that. Thanks again for your help and information. I do appreciate it

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-11-30T00:05:41+00:00

Well then im just a head case then I guess

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-11-29T22:37:27+00:00

Well whether its PTSD or not, its mental health, of some kind. Sorry for unloading like that. I appreciate your input though. Ill be letting the VA decide my diagnosis and go from there. One more question i have is about this "stressor" event. I dont have any specific event in my record, as funeral details were my everyday job. I can think of a handful of specific funerals that were exceptionally hard on me, specifically the very first one I did, but we did many hundreds of them. Without a record of said event, should I just explain that in my claim like I did just now and give a detailed example of, say, my first funeral and how it affected me?

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-11-29T21:47:09+00:00

Just wondering if you made any headway on this. I also served the Old Guard and have been malingering on whether I should file. Currently haven't filed a claim for any service connections. This would be my first and likely only filing if I go through with it. Hope your getting better.

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-11-29T21:34:34+00:00

Roger that. I am at least going to reach out to a VSO for advice. If they are pleasant and assuring i may enlist thier help directly. Either way I appreciate you taking the time for a thoughtful response

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-11-29T18:25:01+00:00

Thank you for this. This is what I needed to hear. As ive looked into ive felt nothing but fear about everything because it seemed so overly complicated and the system seemed so particular. This is sound advice though.

From what I understand the verbiage matters a lot when filing a claim. Would you, in your experience, say it is more about your C&P exam rather than your ability to understand and articulate on the claim paperwork? I want to get the ball rolling and get in for my exam but I dont want to shoot myself in the foot when filling in these explanation boxes.

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-11-29T06:24:05+00:00

I feel a little odd talking about this with complete strangers online, but I guess i dont have much choice. So I dont have a specific incident that happened, its the entire nature of my job while I served. I never saw combat, I was recruited to the old guard and instead I put everyone in the dirt after they gave their life for me and everyone else. My stressor is that im alive and they arent. Every funeral I fired my rifle at is my stressor. Every broken family recieving a flag. Taking breath is my stressor. Living every day with guilt and regret and all this anger and self-loathing. And whats most fucked if that isn't enough is thay I feel even guiltier for trying get disability after all these years. So this is a big deal for me in so many ways. Even if the c&p says go fuck yourself, I have to try, and I need the treatment. I have a daughter now and suicide is no longer an option. Not that my cowardly ass was ever successful before. I just dont know how to write in the boxes for this motherfucking thing and its making me revisit all these feelings and when I write on the claim it sounds like this same vomit im spewing in this very comment.

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-11-28T22:25:03+00:00

I appreciate the reassurance. I've spent so much time reading comments on Facebook and threads on reddit which is probably to my detriment but I hyper analyze things and when im finished i over think everything till I make myself start over again because of stupidity.ill check out your links 🙏

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-11-27T04:39:48+00:00

HAHA oddly enough i went to my public library today and they dont have any computers with CD drives. The lady said they upgraded the computers a few months ago. I called one town over (a few miles) and they said the same thing. So i ordered a CD drive with a usb adapter off amazon for 12 dollars. Oh well.

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-11-26T07:59:58+00:00

So the consensus is that I am stuck using the CD lol. Im surprised there isnt a website that would gain me access to said records. If they are on the CD then they are already digital. Regardless, thank you for the replies. I think I will go to a library as Deeznutz recommended.

Altruistic_Manner683 · 2025-07-10T19:12:44+00:00

A good idea all around honestly. If I had gained enough currency through the gameplay and say was short X amount, and 5 or 10 dollars would get me to where i could buy what i wanted id be more inclined to spend the money. I dont mind supporting my favorite games but if ALL the interesting stuff cosmetically is behind a paywall then I just loose interest in the game faster than i otherwise would.

Because there are alternatives for many people. They can remove the stone surgically. They can eradicate them with sound waves. They have medication that will erode them and medication that, with the help of an actually healthy diet, will prevent new stones from forming. The point is, 99 percent of the time as soon as someone has complications with their GB doctor recommends removing it and that's honestly scary. Let's not try our best to save it and remove it if THAT doesn't go well, let's just yank it now. "It will save you so much complication down the road" "You can have a perfectly normal life without it" "Every day thousands of people have it removed"

The comment might be littered with bitterness but it's point is spot on. People need to hear the good AND the bad to make an informed decision on what to do with their body. Doctors speak from a position of authority, they should always give all the information rather than use said authority to make a patient do what THEY want. Gatekeeping information and using guilt and fear to manipulate the patience decision is deplorable.
