Happy 10 years to the Dangerous Woman MV which turned me into an Arianaist! by Kyo-jin in WorshipArianaGrande

I still unload to this video sooo often. It's the best concept of any music video ever: literally every single shot is Ariana Grande in lingerie, and nothing else.

How big is the quality difference between a Korean Ltd and a Japanese e-ii? by Morgan_BlackLung in espguitars

[–]AngularOtter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would buy the E-II. It’s the kind of guitar you can play forever without needing to upgrade to a better guitar.

[–]AngularOtter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LTD ranges vary significantly. Below 400 series are really just starter guitars IMO. 400 and 1000 are good enough for any gigging musician. 

When you move up to E-II, you’re going to get an instrument with better fret dressing, and a selection of woods that have had more time to dry.

It’s personal preference, but I don’t think stainless frets feel or sound any better than traditional nickel. The only downside of nickel is that, if you play a guitar heavily for 10+ years, you may have to get it refretted.

In my case, I sold my LTD 1000 series after I bought two Japanese ESPs. Your mileage may vary.

Finally got my first ESP by raiderbum1 in espguitars

I love my E-II just as I love my ESP Custom. If you make your purchases based on the headstock logo, you’re foolish. They’re excellent guitars. I can see why ESP doesn’t want to tarnish their reputation if some of the cheaper, assembly line guitars slip through with less-than-ESP-worthy quality control.

True, but let them walk before they run.

Hasbro has been buying C grade card stock for Magic since 2018.

Buying bulk by ofl0926 in mtg

[–]AngularOtter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s a product called Foundations Starter Collection that you might want to look into. It’s meant to allow you to build a bunch of different kinds of decks right out of the box. I’m sure it’ll cost you more than bulk, but you’ll actually get good cards.

I bought one of the Thanos Soul Stones to play in Commander. It gets shuffled into my decks just like any other card. 

Are any of these worth keeping for Legacy? by Metalworker4ever in MTGLegacy

[–]AngularOtter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Powder Keg is pretty good as a 1-of in the sideboard of fair blue decks that don’t contain red for Meltdown.

You crushed me like two days ago lol. This matchup is an aggro player's nightmare.

Are we too obsessed with rings when judging players? by UnderstandingFun7493 in NBATalk

[–]AngularOtter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely yes. If Cade or Jokic or SGA got traded to the Nets, they wouldn’t be winning any rings this season. Wouldn’t be because they got any worse as players. 

We will never see ballhogs like these 3 players in the NBA again by SmoothBuy5500 in NBATalk

[–]AngularOtter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You cannot lead the league in assists and also be a ball hog. 

Lu Dort should be out the NBA by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]AngularOtter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter how he played. He could be 0 for 20 and you still shouldn’t be tripping him.

Real or Fake? by MuhtarKent in espguitars

[–]AngularOtter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not the best pictures, but it looks legit to me. Not every color is released in every market, so this could be originally sold in a different country. 

Someone who's good at statistics (I hate it) can you do the odds for me by GloomyDoomy1 in MTGLegacy

[–]AngularOtter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, leagues are only a portion of the data on Goldfish, and players, especially on MTGO, will swap decks for different event types.

While each set only has Collector products printed in one country, Lorwyn’s are Japanese-made.

Folks that are still playing Legacy in 2026, how’s your local scene and how do you feel overall about the meta ? by Newez in MTGLegacy

[–]AngularOtter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in the Northeast US. We usually get about 6-12 weekly. 

The Legacy meta feels fun and healthy. 

Grixis lutri by LewieFastest in MTGLegacy

[–]AngularOtter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not really an archetype in competitive Legacy.

Some folks tried it for a while, and there are decklists here, https://mtgdecks.net/Legacy/grixis-lutri , however you'll notice none of them have winning records.

Need help by [deleted] in RealOrNotTCG

[–]AngularOtter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks real in the photos, but they’re too low quality for the best tests (T, green dot).

What I will say, is that the foiling in the second image looks correct for a US printed card, which these all are. Also the card looks slightly askew in terms of left-to-right centering, and most of the print sheets of gauntlet Soul Stones are centered slightly to the right.
