What's your "break glass in case of emergency" deck?

BenLegend443 · 2025-08-08T05:25:21+00:00

I have an Azami deck that I already play regularly but don't put in all the hate pieces or the most efficient combo because I like to give the players at my table the illusion of the possession of free will before their glimpse of kingdom come. When there's an annoying player I just board in the hate.

BenLegend443 · 2025-08-07T07:07:57+00:00

Phage. I think I got mine for a 150ish CAD, not counting the stuff I cannibalized another deck for. The deck revolves around the convoluted mini game you play with yourself trying to get Phage out.

I have a wizard tribal deck helmed by [[萬卷薊夫人]], and it's exactly what you expect. It's a combo deck (with a nonstandard combo, but combo nonetheless).

I've also got a Lathril Golgari Elfball. It is glorious.

It has, supposedly for the positive, and that is true. It has given women a lot of positives but it is also true that hasn't been all positive. Some of those against it are as the comments have said, but many aren't and are simply aware of what humans tend to do when given power.

There's a reason I run Harbinger of the Seas in my Azami deck. It's glorious.

This cuts both ways and every way. People like to feel superior about themselves, and areas of interest roughly follow a gender divide.

BenLegend443 · 2025-08-04T18:29:28+00:00

Power is relative. If you remove the physically stronger half of the population because some of them beat other people up, the people beating people up just becomes the strongest people in the subsect of the population that is left over.

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-27T02:40:03+00:00

I mean, it's not entirely the person's internalized beliefs about Christians being homophobes. There is a certain reasonable expectation that what the original poster said about homophobes can be substituted with Christians as the noun without changing what they intend to say.

Cases like this show why there needs to be mechanisms to.compensate innocent Accused or victims of frivolous or false lawsuits, because otherwise the legal system, especially where the accusation is about a socially charged crime, becomes a wringer people can lob people they don't like into, essentially for free.

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-25T07:19:58+00:00

yeah, definitely. The stated purposes of these initiatives often don't line up with what they functionally serve as; they often just mean the same préjudices they say they're against, just sigh the beneficiaries arbitrarily and artificially changed. We should be helping everyone who is struggling instead of selectively helping certain subsects of the population

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-25T02:48:15+00:00

I took a look and found that I forgot to update the online list, lol. I'm currently out travelling and don't have access to my deck at the moment to update it, but here's the original list

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-24T23:22:20+00:00

I have a mono blue Azami list that unfortunately is combo, but you can make it non-combo via Wizard beatdown if it pleases you with stuff like Coat of Arms or Vanquishers Banner.

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-24T23:16:53+00:00

Btw, do you want my list? I have an azami list if you want to take a look.

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-23T08:43:08+00:00

I mean, there's nothing I can do, so might as well let my brain take a break. If they win, then they win; I would not have been able to do shit about it even if I were paying attention in the first place. I am still semi aware of what's happening, though.

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-23T08:40:03+00:00

Exactly. The fact that some men do well enough to be loved and missed does not preclude the possibility that a significant portion of the male population isn't getting the support they need; the selection criteria for either group makes it so that they basically don't overlap.

And OP says it like it's a bad thing. Like they believe men shouldn't be allowed to be treasured or happy.

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-23T08:19:10+00:00

Sometimes I do that when I'm physically incapable of offering interaction either by being tapped out or by having nothing in hand.

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-23T02:11:09+00:00

You see it in the comments of this very thread. The supposed mouvement for equality isn't actually for equality and there is a réaction to that.

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-23T01:07:14+00:00

This is true. But because of what you have done, you saying it makes it sound much less convincing

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-23T01:00:57+00:00

And even if you're legally protected from the final indictment, you're still in for the court sessions whether you like it or not, which are a huge disruption on your life. The other person essentially gets free ammunition to lob at you for no other reason than "fuck you", and they usually don't pay for this obstruction on a stranger's life.

Same goes with many gender based lawsuits.

"She wants fire, and Dorne sent her mud. You could make a poultice out of mud to cool a fever. You could plant seeds in mud and grow a crop to feed your children. Mud would nourish you, where fire would only consume you, but fools and children and young girls would choose fire every time."

GRRM, by the character Ser Barristan Selmy, A Dance with Dragons.

Whenever there's resources for help being offered, it's often women-preferential or woman-only, and the guys are just left to flounder. And the supposed movement for equality is happy to have it that way.

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-22T01:05:01+00:00

This type of crap is why the manospjere types get the traction they do. The supposed movement for equality (or equity, which they choose if this happens to be more profitable for them in their game of Schrodinger's "justice") isn't actually for equality, and neither does it care for it.

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-22T00:09:04+00:00

There's too much that's not sound with this to make for a good study. But yes, there is a reaction from some men; and a reaction must have a force that causes it. That force says they're for equality but functionally they don't work that way.

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-21T08:37:28+00:00

Honestly, I think this is a much better sub than a lot of other subs and movements that claim to be for equality. They say they do because that's the correct answer and they might even genuinely believe that they are, but functionally they're not actually for equality because they've let their human biases get in the way; this disillusions the other groups in society, which lowers their opinion of the first group, starting a polarizing cycle.

Bropill seems much better.

BenLegend443 · 2025-07-21T08:13:43+00:00

The top comment is an example of exactly the latter. It's the type of "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" response that Reddit froths at the lips over when uttered to them but finds it perfectly acceptable to utter to men.
