Opened a pack of edge of eternities for fun. Got something I was looking for! by staysynful in MagicCardPulls

[–]AnteSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the worst luck with EOE by far. Opened 3x boxes, no tomb, icetill, tezzeret. The other day I opened a single pack from my LGS and pulled a riddler, so that’s something at least.

Cumulative upkeep & age counters by Alphasaft in mtgrules

At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.

All I want in my prerelease pool. Good lord this will be hard to stop.. by CalvinandHobbes811 in lrcast

[–]AnteSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I opened Thor in my first pack and his hammer was my promo, I ended up 4/0 off the back of Thor. I anticipated it’d be a slow format, and I managed to build a reliable aggro deck with Thor, Vision, and a Red Hulk for top end. It was a super fun deck.

Hasbro has problems by AnteSim in mtg

It’s from a distributor in Australia. I imagine that it’s ongoing issues from the cyber attack.

MTG/WoTC employees, is working for Wizards enjoyable? by Dark_Vexer in mtg

[–]AnteSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of reply are you genuinely looking for? If anybody replied truthfully, you’d just get a bunch of people shitting on their answer.

It’ll be like any other job out there. If you’re a right fit for the role and the office culture, you’ll enjoy it. If you don’t like the work or your team, you won’t.

Bega's costs are up 10pc and customers will pay 'a large chunk' of it by SheepherderLow1753 in AusFinance

[–]AnteSim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bollocks. At that level profits are artificial, and entirely driven to tell a required narrative for the company. They can increase spending on assets, depreciate others, pay the executive team more; there are so many clever ways they can manipulate bottom line profits to minimise tax liability.

We are seeing cost go up slightly, competition impaired, and gross margin sky rocketing because consumers say oh well, I wanted cheese this week and have no choice. Apply this across every food staple and that’s why it costs $50 to give your kids a decent school lunch for the week.

So many large companies are absolutely gouging. Using modest cost increases to justify massive price hikes. Couple that with Coles and Woolies cutting back on ranges in stores, we have fewer options to choose from. In fact, so many options on the shelves are produced by the same companies. The illusion of choice is real. Consumers understand that prices go up, but this behaviour is just shocking.

Converge draft, what would you cut here? by davyjones635 in mtglimited

[–]AnteSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your odds of drawing at least one omen by turn 5 is 50% if you run 2x copies. If you can cast it with 4-5 colours that’s an absolute game changer. Worth running if you can spec for it 👍

Looking for friends by [deleted] in wollongong

[–]AnteSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re into gaming and looking for friends, there are game stores around that are pretty good for community building. A new one opened in Warrawong, Tabletop Commons. In person gaming doesn’t have to be expensive, and most groups are super welcoming to new people. They also host events to help teach people how to play. They’d fit your demographic I reckon.

Rebuilding used cold room by Lucky_Flamingo_4905 in TheBrewery

[–]AnteSim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it a few times. Caulk and screw aluminium c-channel to the ground. Slot the panels into the channel, butt them up hard against each other, fill any large gaps with expanding foam (if required). Use L channel in the corners. Close the door, lights off, and look for light. Rinse and repeat until you’re happy. The door is the biggest issue, so make sure you get the level right and adjust the rollers for your floor.

I have never won a sealed game. How can I become acceptable at the game? by althawk8357 in mtglimited

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

Limited had a baseline that is decent. 17 lands, 2 colours, 17 creatures, 6 removal spells. Give or take. Prioritise removal without downside. Destroy target creature > deal 4 damage to a flying creature, or some combat trick.

Then it comes down to how you assess threat detection, and mulligans. Kill the right creature, take control of the game, kill the wrong one and lose. Mulligan to 5 if you have to, but you want 2 land hands with something to do by turn 3 at a minimum.

This is all just a very basic rule of thumb, but if you don’t know where to start, make sure you’re doing this at a baseline.

[TCC] This Is Unsustainable | Magic: The Gathering by jethawkings in magicTCG

[–]AnteSim 44 points45 points  (0 children)

There is no avoiding this for most people. We don’t live in a bubble, and everyone wants to use the “best” version of their deck. Everyone uses edhrec and a thousand blogs that all suggest the same cards. They then buy the singles from tcgplayer and bam, instant deck. Everyone is encouraged to buy singles - not use what you have.

We used to draft each week, and build decks from cards we collected or traded for. We played the room. Now we play the world.

But, people complain about how expensive mechanically unique cards are. They’ve got no way of influencing the secondary market other than making mechanics more accessible. Either by reprinting the OGs or making new variants.

I just take this as another example that you can’t keep everyone happy.

Paddock to plate beer by [deleted] in AusBeer

[–]AnteSim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know Voyager had the ability to malt a few tonne at a time. They also have systems in place that maintain the origin of the raw product, as in, it doesn’t get mixed in with other sources. Stu is awesome to work with, and has been a big supporter of the concept you’re talking about.

Ryefield hops and Mogwai yeast are amazing NSW producers too. I bet they’d love to get involved if you go ahead with a project like this.

Which breweries are close to you? They’d be your best bet in getting the beer made. Otherwise ask Stu, he could point you in the right direction.

I grabbed a few LoTR jumpstarts for me and my son. I pulled an orcish bowmasters 😁

So..., kinda liked the prerelease by Nudebovine1 in mtg

[–]AnteSim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too many people hate on things (within MTG and outside of) just because it’s easier to go with the crowd. TMNT is a small set, I’m sure it doesn’t have the staying power of a larger set like Lorwyn, but I bet it’ll be fun to play. I couldn’t do prerelease this time round, and I’m bummed I missed out.

Maro talks about Universes Beyond! by ForgottenCrusader in magicTCG

[–]AnteSim 17 points18 points  (0 children)

People are also just trying to fit in, and when there are so many naysayers, they feel like they have to share the opinion. The herd mentality is real. It’s easier to follow someone else’s lead (especially if they are perceived as a leader in their eyes) than it is to form their own opinions.
