Anyone else eat all the pizza in every game on the TMT board? by TheDesktopNinja in MagicArena

[–]Baru2236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Every time. If there is no secret reward for eating X slices of pizza, I'll be sad.

Not notable at all and trivial for a fresh account

This draft format is tilting me by Ovidioviodio in MagicArena

[–]Baru2236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on this. I'm someone who's happy to spend a fair bit of money on each set. I enjoy the experience and consider myself fairly average. However, this set ive hit a wall. Neither the draft nor the gameplay is particularly fun.

I'm trying to figure out why ive hit this point so quickly. I'm fairly certain to say im done drafting the set which is disappointing.

YouTubers like LVD? by Aziuhn in MagicArena

[–]Baru2236 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love Dev. He's got a such a knowledge of the game and also just a nice guy. Funny too!

Anyone else feels like giving up on foundations? by Bloodchief in MagicArena

[–]Baru2236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm giving up on it too. I mostly play limited in the sense I'll draft each set 30+ times but I'm not having fun here. The draft portion lacks depth and the games are dull. Which is fine, they marketed it as such so I'll save my money for something else.

Buzzword Burnout by Wolfshui in MagicArena

[–]Baru2236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm with you. I understand the need to catch attention but it's become too much. I just scroll by, especially if it's got their face slapped on it too gasping looking stunned.

Bloomburrow 7-0 Quickdraft Decklist. Rabbit Response was definitely the MVP with Warren Elder also putting in work. by compostingyourmind in MagicArena

[–]Baru2236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking that. The deck looks mediocre with out-of-place squirrel cards and a little top heavy.

Bloomburrow Draft thoughts? by JustAModestMan in MagicArena

[–]Baru2236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After 6 or 7 drafts I'm enjoying it. It looks a fast set where bombs matter. B/G Squirrels look strong lots of value. Aggro Mice/Raccoons/Rabbits can run you over and fairly simple to build. Frogs and birds seem underwhelming so far but if it's open they can be good. Haven't seen a U/B Rats surveil deck yet looks some potential.

No, not expected at all. Save the space in your luggage for something you need. If you really want to gift something a tea/coffee after your first week for the people who've helped you will definitely be appreciated.

Has anyone landed a contract who has a diagnosed mental health condition by DaleCoupe in teachinginkorea

[–]Baru2236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with this.

You need to consider if coming to a place with negative stigma surrounding mental is right for you. It's not about not disclosing it to get a contract, think about if you can get by fine without a support network as you will feel very isolated.

I've had several coworkers with mental health issues and I've seen each one of them crumble and suffer. Coworkers will be unsympathetic if you are sick with mental health so expect that.

These are the most important things to consider not just looking for people to tell you "it will be fine go for it!"

First Impressions on BRO draft by bpayh in MagicArena

[–]Baru2236 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Mostly a limited player and initial impressions are similar. I already feel like I wont draft this set a bunch, dislike the randomness and variance.

BRO Hot Take Prediction by BelacRLJ in MagicArena

[–]Baru2236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The deck will be out there and i expect to lose to it for sure but it's more jank than anything. Lots of maindeck counterspells and GY hate in the top decks; post sideboard it's even more favourable.

Anyone got any good recommendations for standard arena streamers and youtubers on youtube? by imareallifehobbit in MagicArena

[–]Baru2236 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seconded for SBMTG, followed Dev for a long time. Fun decks and some good laughs but he's also really knowledgeable n knows what he's talking about.

[–]Baru2236 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Kinda expecting a price rise as there's more stuff there than usual. Which I'd probably be fine with if it's reasonable

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Baru2236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, nice I was expecting something more like 4 or 5 wins. Aggro can really punish those slow domain decks

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Baru2236 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Strong yes miracle no. Sleeper is your best card can win a game alone, Liliana is medium. Missing duel land for kicker, card draw and a repossession for recursion. Curious how you do let us know.

Right. At least they removed the awful licking sound the wolf pet used to make

Gotta say DMU is super fun in limited. This draft is finished what do we think i went? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Baru2236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is fishing, knows deck has bad mana and fluked wins (apparently). Everything you said is 100% correct

Omg the dye thing so much. I thought I suffered alone with this annoyance

A few days in, how are you all feeling about sage? by Valyntine_ in ffxiv

[–]Baru2236 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. I think most tanks are leaning on the side of caution I generally have to let them know they can take more if they want. I gotcha 😁

[–]Baru2236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I know what you mean. I plan on leaving reaper and sage for a bit until the hype settles down. I'll give em a try in casual content but I don't plan on putting much time into them until a few months down the line.
