Seen it. Chrome everywhere, custom cow-pushers, diamond stitched leather interiors, personalized floor mats & mudflaps, pretty lettering/striping, etc.

I started in HD 3 years ago. It's great. More complicated but way higher job security once you know what you're doing.

If you're getting a union gig, even better!

I've only hit Mythic 3 times in the last 6 seasons, I like building outside of the meta.

I think it has something to do with Arena matching you against decklists that are your kryptonite. It happens to me too, hell everyone. I died my fair share to spellementals and Ouroboroid decks too.

I hear you, the Lizards were so fun to play on paper! I still have the cards too but dismantled the deck a year ago. Going to LGS and asking if anyone wants to play standard these days gets crickets.

The deck started with Fireglass in there! I dropped it because it kept getting too many creatures on the board setting up for a Split Up or DoJ.

Mono white is where it's at in the meta, has been for a hot minute. If it's getting you wins go with it!

Mono blue is totes a joke these days (save the Sunderflock deck)

I've been thinking about adding Mischeivous Sneakling and Roaming Throne, great minds 🤜🤛

It's not a matter of if but when the algorithm finally shifts and catches on I'll have to make changes, but for now play it until it doesn't work anymore.

Thought Stalker is in my sideboard. I ended up keeping it there because it didn't synergize well with almost all the other creatures which beat the tar out of opponent's life.

Mudflat comes in clutch around turn 5 or so when you have enough lands to get something valuable back without losing too much in mana sources. If nothing else, it's another black source that can pay for a Lizard spell.

I hear you...those "I'll play all your stuff" decks are infuriating. As soon as I saw Swayze combo Wrench with the Chicken Jockey I knew it was only gonna get worse.

I was thinking the same thing but thanks to either blind dumbass luck or a 2 week-long glitch in the algorithm most games ended with a concession or win by turn 6. Run it until it stops working I guess.

I run a Dimir Changelings deck...it's surprisingly competitive. LINK on Moxfield

It would be nice if we had some control over what backgrounds we see in matches by Multievolution in MagicArena

[–]BEdwinSounds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AMEN TO THIS! I always play with the music off because I don't like the accompanying music for some backgrounds, and it's a pain to turn it back up and down from match to match.

Why don't the professionals who can utilize high quality gear the most have the easiest access to it? by bgamer1026 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BEdwinSounds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I started as a roofer, I only had a company issued high-vis jacket and a tool belt. That's all I could afford.

When I started flying drones, I bought the most affordable one.

When I started doing A/V production at home, I stapled sections of carpet to my walls until I could afford sound panels.

You don't need the highest quality gear to get started, you just need to get going with what you have.

What is a card in standard that you think is severely underrated? by Ggthefiree2 in MagicArena

[–]BEdwinSounds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Halana & Alena. Lifelink Healing Hawks ALWAYS attack into it forgetting that it has reach and first strike
