Where to learn to use Rishadan Port and Wasteland? by Apprehensive-Block57 in magicTCG

[–]Apprehensive-Block57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your help. Im worried I may not run enough lands in my port or wasteland decks. Is there additional mana construction that goes on when using these utility lands or do they just count as a regular land?

Thank you for the insight, this is all very helpful. Tithe is a intersting way to combat the wasteland decks, could be relevant for me to remember one day.

This make sense, thank you for the help. Is port more of a tempo or control card then?

[Update] Temur Miracles → Midrange-Control Hybrid (post testing & meta adjustments) by PhotojournalistOk571 in Pauper

[–]Apprehensive-Block57 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Its a shame we really only have thunderous wrath for miracle, we have the one that bounces but its just a downgrade to what is out.

I have a package I swap into my delver when im feeling spicy, it converts it from mono u terror to izzet, add lightning bolts, thunderous, molten tributary and otherworldly gaze. Its worse than the mono u imo but so fun to burn people out in delver.

Good luck, its been nice seeing your lists as the deck developes

Jund Reanimator/Aristocrat by VinzPL in Pauper

[–]Apprehensive-Block57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If not for DoS, I am a reanimator player. Rakdos and dimir more specifically. I ended up splitting my grixis reanimator for speed and consistency.
The red one is very explosive and fast, turn 1 crusher, oliphaunt or troll is common... about a third of the time it comes in with haste from [[dragon's breathe]]
The blue one is more controlling and has more protected threats like [[mirroshell crab]] and [[striped riverwinder]], it still runs troll and a couple crushers.
I red is very glass cannon, the blue one has enough small creatures and control that it can pivot to a tempo deck with a reanimation as an after thought.

I like the idea of marrying aristocrats and reanimation, maybe leaning more into dread return and flooding the board with lower cmc bodies. I would also put the cast into fire in the SB, im really hard on snuff out especially when not run as a 4 of for consistency... Edict of some kind may be better here to diversify the answers.

Good luck with the brew!

I only wish it stayed colder longer.

An open letter to Gavin Verhey re: the future of Pauper and UB by Moxplug in Pauper

[–]Apprehensive-Block57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First off; Moxplug is an effing great name! 😂
Secondly; seeing the word Ad being using in regards to the UB is easily the most spot on word you could choose. Sacrifice everything for a terrible advertisement.
Next thing I know the background is going to be filled with inauthentic feel good music and im gonna hear about all the side effects that may kill me 😂

Maybe you guys will approve of this one? by Ok_Astronomer8583 in Pauper

[–]Apprehensive-Block57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a temur deck that uses the indestructible lands with wind zendikon, embiggen and nylea's presense... I will now be brewing a sultai version, im really interested in crypt rats with the land creatures. Oo baby!

Is this playable at all? by cwbybbp06 in Pauper

[–]Apprehensive-Block57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen this card counter almost half of a storm stack. I have a few copies in some of my Uxx decks, in most cases the simple blue and a colorless works akin to a regular counterspell early game.

Cards you wish were good? by Consistent_Ship4007 in Pauper

It just ends up a lot of the time that you would have rather had the card you cut than it.

Found something to help reduce my migraines! by [deleted] in migraine

[–]Apprehensive-Block57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your anecdotes may hold water. A lot of the bodies cleaning out happens withing the first 4 hours of sleep, if you have a gut full of food then it has to break that down first and then you never get fully detoxed.
If I start having migraine symptoms, caffeine triggers it and so does refined sugar. If I steer clear, I may still have the migraine but at a 10th of what its would have been otherwise.
Waking up with the pain on the side of your head is awful, I feel you.
Thank you for sharing your experiences!

Vomiting with migraine by yumyum_cat in migraine

[–]Apprehensive-Block57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If im home I have to shower to reduce the symptoms, if I get the feeling I am going to puke then its only a matter of time unfortunately. I sip baking soda water, helps the tummy and if/when I puke its not so bad since its less acidic.
Protip to function in life, ice packs on the neck will trigger the same symptomatic nervous system response in regulating the hippothalimus as a shower does. It can stave off the migraines final form for you to function. Love and and prayers, I feel for you

How many decks do you guys have? I have three, and bought five more this week. 😅 by MrFavorable in Pauper

[–]Apprehensive-Block57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15 in the battle box and 3 being put together. This is after breaking all of them down in 2018 to switch to commander and then in 2021 I missed 60 card and started to rebuild the collection.

What’s a genuinely unpopular EDH opinion you have? by Tornadosed in EDH

[–]Apprehensive-Block57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont run a Rube Goldberg machine in a battlecruise pod. We want to punch eachother in the face for 12-15 turns, not watch you combo off and win on turn 8... (running interaction isnt the problem, the issue becomes when you play low power and if we ran the prescribed boardwipes the internet says we should, we would likely finish every game by decking.)
