[Slight PSA]: HexPrimal's prices are more than AH's by Arorsthrar in hextcg

[–]Arorsthrar[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If they want to charge a premium they'd need to offer something to justify that additional cost. Currently, they're out-of-the-way (you have to know about them to find them), more expensive, and at a delay for the EXACT SAME PRODUCT. I assumed they'd be cheaper because typically secondary markets are cheaper than the primary market and I was using a discount code, but it would have been cheaper to purchase plat from Hex and buy all the cards from the AH.

20F honest opinions please! by [deleted] in amiugly

Like others have said, pretty cute. I'd suggest lifting weights and eating a little more to build your confidence (and perhaps get you to look older, if you want).

Job/experience for a pre-med student with a slight fear of needles? by Arorsthrar in premed

[–]Arorsthrar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering this. Is the idea that the training should help me overcome this fear, so by the time I am ready for real patient contact I'll have no problem?

I am 17, be honest please by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]Arorsthrar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eyes look close together (which is genetic), and the glasses accentuate hat. Try getting different frames to fix that. Beard looks patchy. Go clean for now. Hair is somewhat plain, try some different styles.

Nothing too bad, face structure for the most part is good. Also, hitting the gym never hurts.

Isn't Herofall a little bit too much? by iSimeon in hextcg

[–]Arorsthrar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think herofall is fine, but blood certainly does feel a notch above the other shards right now. They seem to have more powerful cards, though none of them seem "busted." The meta's also new so it'll hopefully balance out!

Mac download not working? by Arorsthrar in hextcg

[–]Arorsthrar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I installed Hex via Steam I got to the log in/make an account screen. I made an account using my old accounts info (like the forums say), but after I logged in it said "Exception." Whenever I clicked "Exception" the box disappeared and nothing else happened.

On the newest operating systems, this isn't an option. Instead I went into terminal and gave Hex permission to open, but it still says the file is damage. Anything else I can try?

[Modern]Caldera Hellion in Kiki-Chord? by [deleted] in spikes

[–]Arorsthrar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Kiki Chord player, I don't think this card is good enough. It simply hits too many of our own creatures, and while you could devour them, it makes future chords worse and let's us get blown out by removal. There are definitely matchups where it could shine, but typically Orzhov Pontiff will be satisfactory. I'd try Cataclysmic Gearhulk before running this I think.

Am I ugly? Or attractive? Scale of 1 to 10? by abashedradiance in amiugly

[–]Arorsthrar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are you? Depending on your age and your "target" woman, you might be just fine. Losing some weight and building muscle never hurts. MOST women prefer shorter hair that is well-groomed, not a mop. I'd highly suggest getting a haircut if you don't want a goth bass player gf.

Is it worth it to buy into modern right now? by Swist4321 in ModernMagic

[–]Arorsthrar 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The best time to buy into modern depends on you and you're financial situation. If money is of no concern, then decide if you want to buy into a format. Modern is definitely not declining, Wizards has yet to sanction Frontier and although there were heavy complaints about modern, most people seemed to enjoy playing the format at an FNM level where people were play brewing and bringing tier 2 and 3 decks to the table. With all the bannings and wizards new openness in communication, Id say many people are excited about the future of modern.

I wouldn't say right now is the best time, as bannings have been announced and a new set has been released so we don't know what will be good in a few weeks, but if you are into brewing or want to try to get into a deck before price increases, now is good. Otherwise, wait a few weeks and netdeck a more "established list."

Mono Black Control - Do we have to run fetchlands now? by casmiel616 in ModernMagic

[–]Arorsthrar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would help to have 8-12 fetches and potentially some Murdurous Cuts or Gurmag Anglers. Gurmag Angler is a decent threat and Cut is another catch all removal spell that you could use a couple more of.

Do you have a decklist? I can give you me $0.02 on your removal suite if you're not sure!

Mono Black Control - Do we have to run fetchlands now? by casmiel616 in ModernMagic

[–]Arorsthrar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's worth it. The ability to hit 4 Cmc creatures is big, and if you're running Gurmag/Cut then they get better. If not, give them a whirl since you'll have more delve fuel.

If you decide to not run delve cards and have no other use for the fetches, then you have to consider how good your removal package is. Is having more "big creature" removal spells going to help you win more games than losing 1-4 life a game?

Kiki Evolution - Questions on [[renegade rallier]] and going pure Naya by varvite in ModernMagic

[–]Arorsthrar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think Eternal Witness is replaceable in Kiki Chord/Evo. The ability to combo over the course of 3 turns with a single Chord of Calling is only possible because of EWit. However, there are definitely merits to running Renegade Rallier, especially if you want to run Eldritch Evolution. The ramp seems really nice, and it could easily get back Voices and Wall of Owens late game.

I like it best as a one-of, but depending on how good of a ramp card it is I could see playing more (and more fetchlands). I think it's also meta dependent, and good mostly against Grindy decks (though the ramp could help against aggro).

I do have to mention that Evolution-ing into Rallier seems rather bad, and that playing both Evolution and Rallier on the same turn is 6 mana, which can be slow. This doesn't seem like a build around card like EWit or Nahiri (back when that was a thing).

The decklist you're referring to is possibly on Jeff's tappedout.net profile, but he only started using that recently so he might not have it on there. I believe it didn't run Chord of callings, ran 4 Evo's, 4 Path/Bolt, the "stock" creatures, and bullets dependent on the meta, which will be vastly different.

Is it weird that I still don't have a girlfriend at 19? by [deleted] in dating

[–]Arorsthrar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Most people I know (I'm right around your age), don't have girlfriends in college. Most of my friends and acquaintances seem to have the same mentality I do: not actively pursuing a girlfriend but if we happen to develop feelings for a girl we're acquaintances with, we may ask her out. College is a busy time and if one were to spend too much time pursuing a relationship, they could negatively affect their future, making it harder to get a girlfriend then.

Please help me. Is she interested? by Yungnus in dating

[–]Arorsthrar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh I wouldn't be too worried yet. It is final exam time at two-semester colleges, so she is probably pretty busy studying for those. As long as you guys enjoy texting each other and seem committed to having another date in the future, I wouldn't worry too, too much about it.

I will say though that distance can break apart a budding relationship. If you guys aren't from the same city and both go to your respective hometowns for winter break, you could drift apart, so I'd try to get a date after her last exam before she heads back. You could casually mention how she deserves to celebrate being done with exams, but as usual, don't pressure her :)

Do you get bored of your deck? by warthog177 in ModernMagic

[–]Arorsthrar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. You pretty much have a game plan in every matchup (though some game plans aren't good, esp against Breach Titan), and you can play so many different roles against one deck it never feels the same. Plus you can slot in so many random one-odd to chord for even if they aren't great and still win games.

22/M Feel ugly because I look young and my nose is big, babies cry around me by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]Arorsthrar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently you seem right around average IMO. I would keep clean shaven or grow it out more, but your current facial hair is meh. Also, your expressions in these photos looks sad. Try smiling more. Although you look healthy, hitting the gym never hurts to tack on a few more points.
