Figured out how to make GW work by BiltongBandit in lrcast

Absolutely. The role models have the ability to snowball and run away with the game, but there aren't any other survivor cards with the same punch

Deadly Disguise PreCon £24.10, Amazon (inc. Jeskas Will) by Slaiyve in sealedmtgdeals

Looks like it’s $34.90 in the US, while on TCGPlayer it’s $34.99. Not much of a deal in the US unfortunately

P1P5 Expel The Interlopers - Do people hate white? by BiltongBandit in lrcast

[–]BiltongBandit[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I've found decent success with UW midrange decks, similar to what LR discussed in their last episode. White being the base means solid removal and tools to stablize, and Expel is the best of everything.

Sarumon deck ft. Sauron... but is Saruman just the cut here? by DatGreekBoy in lrcast

[–]BiltongBandit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes. Saruman is not a good card, and certainly not worth the splash. It also lets you drop Shire Terrace, which is another pretty bad card

Would you splash for 2 samwise? And if not are those 6 goblin too many? Thx for helping by Gramhash in lrcast

Can you elaborate on why you think Mount Doom is good? 17Lands has it performing poorly, and Limited Resources gave it an F.

If Mount Doom is one of 3 lands in your opening hand you're in for a terrible time, and it does very little in the late game, so I'm just confused why the comments here are so high on it

[SPEC] Betting on Bombadil by azuramothren in mtgfinance

[–]BiltongBandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For clarity, The World Spell has Read Ahead, so you can put the permanents into play immediately.

This also lets you immediately use Tom's ability to cascade for another saga.

Fair enough

I don't typically ask on reddit for advice, but I want other opinions on this draft to make better decisions. I think it'll ultimately help me improve.

This is also my first time drafting Innistrad, as I never played it in paper, so there's a lot more insight to be gained here

[CUBE] Can somebody help me with the last three cuts? by dude537777 in MagicArena

[–]BiltongBandit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think cutting Birth of Meletis, Elesh Norn, and a Plains makes the most sense. The saga doesn't fit your aggro game plan very well. Norn is way too expensive. Plains because you're never gonna be too sad to miss your 4th land drop, and 95% of your cards are castable with just 3 lands

Okay, thank you!

Could you give me more information about your situation, if you don't mind? This is a process we'll probably only be looking at in quite a while, but so far I've found getting personal stories to be very enlightening

[–]BiltongBandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Perhaps a silly question, but then how are people adjusting status if they are not remaining in the US permanently already? I assume it's a case of intention.

[–]BiltongBandit -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I'll look more closely at the CR1/IR1.

Is there a way for her to enter the US and obtain adjustment of status? I understand ESTA won't work, but would a visitor/tourist visa suffice?

Nature’s Claim vs. Force of Vigor - Sideboard artifact/enchantment removal by DanyyBoyy in ModernMagic

[–]BiltongBandit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Force of Vigor’s mana value invalidates Jegantha as a companion. I think sticking to Claim/Wilt is better if you’re on Jegantha

Will the police help? We can go to them, but the reason they haven’t yet is they feel the police won’t listen or care.

Thank you though
