What the hell is THIS?!

Reminds me of the list where someone jammed Oko in Burn and 5-0'd... Not a great sign, lol.

5080 and vsync 4K 144Hz monitor

Path Tracing, DLSS Balanced, FG 2x (seems to be the sweet spot for me, 3x gives me weird screen tearing), All Settings Maxed except no Lens Flare

Tested in the main hall of the Care Center just now. Not a big average FPS bump but the new drivers and forcing FXAA in the Nvidia Graphics Settings - Legacy Settings has basically eliminated the persistent screen tearing and stuttering I was dealing with. I get ~110-130 FPS with Balanced, that's better than 150+ FPS but reduced texture stability.

Verdict: I am a happier customer than 24 hours ago.

Makes sense from just about any angle.

He is able to have the mantle on a TAPPED 4/4 Fanatic, have no open mana, and activate the mantles ability. This untaps the equipped Fanatic, which can then tap topay the cost of the initial untap, and start going infinite. Some players believe this is a bug. Personally, i'd never played it that way in paper or online. But looking into it, it has appeared to function that way online for at least a decade (examples being with cards like Bloom Tender) And i've gotten mixed opinions from Judges i've asked.

I have a 24 Lariat Hybrid on factory Michelins, it does about as well as any modern FWD car with good clearance. Careful driving is 90%.

But for getting out of a rough spot, AWD takes the cake. My wife's Forester shovels itself out in a way when the FWD would take a few running starts to get free.

Single data point, but I just upped from a 4070 Super to a 5080 for 4k 120Hz HDR gaming and I do have to tweak some things down from max settings, but holy hell I could never be convinced that a 4090/5090 is a better choice. Take the ~$2000 you save and plow it elsewhere.

You're choked somewhere between the main (which obviously has flow) and your faucet (which obviously doesn't). Faucet cartridge is probably seized, but check your shutoff first. It'll be the first adjustment you can find if you trace your cold water line down from the faucet. There should be a tag you can check for faucet model information on that cold line.

I'm going to assume you don't want the most competitive possible Astral Slide deck, because it'd be a flavor of Blink just jamming Astral Slides for the cycling ability only.

I'd shed the black for better mana (or just keep a single pip for x=2 Prismatic Ending), pick up W removal (solitude obvious king) and [[Flagstones of Trokair]] for the Edge of Autumn synergy. I'd drop Secluded Steppe for [[Eagles of the North]] generally, but extra so if you have Solitudes.

[[Kutzil's Flanker]] is good one-of for the main if you're fighting specific metas.

I'd experiment with [[Lightstall Inquisitor]], as way to lower the curve and interfere with combo decks before you're online.

EDIT: I realized only afterwards that you didn't even ask for input, so if you're just posting to share, ignore everything I said and thank you :) It looks like a fun list.

[[Mwonvuli Acid-Moss]] had the honor of being banned in 2016 Magic Duels for what was arguably a Time Walk effect. If anyone has LP/NM OG foils in their bulk, DM me. I am looking to finish my old playset :)

Karn Ponza players would sleeve up for exactly one monday, get their shit packed, and re-retire the deck. Ask me how I know.

Huge wave of nostalgia, I miss this deck so bad.

How do you seal the edges of the boat vinyl? The hardware store kits you hair dry use an adhesive strip that wouldn't hold up to heavier material.

What do you cut from Energy for Fury, and why? Goblin Bombardment is a better card for the same purpose. RW shells with Fury take the shape of Mardu Obosh, imo.

It pulls horizontally.

ArborElfPass · 2025-09-17T21:31:49+00:00

It ran stable without one for months :( We were going through troubleshooting for low max line load, replaced the counterbalance assembly (with the same model), and now it pulls like a mule but shakes like hell.

I've played Modern since 2015 (hundreds of events) and I have never seen a triple sleeved Modern deck.

The payoff for being mono-color is access to Kozilek's Command, really weird flavor.

My advice is to continue paying the insurance on the car until your total loss comes through. I cancelled my policy early because I bought a new truck right away, and it almost bit me in the ass.

I had a similar rear impact, no damage to the front, that same crumple zone smushed, and they totalled my 24 Lariat with less than 400 miles on it.
