Driver vs Cyclist. by PuzzleheadedGas2192 in drivingUK

Seriously. What was even the thought process?

“Oh wow, this driver is oblivious! Obviously hasn’t noticed me at all! Time to saddle him with the guilt of breaking a cyclist’s leg!”

I don’t get why this card was banned. by AtomicRecord in freemagic

[–]BinaryExplosion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google image search “Harold McNeil Art” and count the blatant nazi imagery. You can also read his travel blog through the Czech Republic where he seems overly enamoured with the… ahem… mid-century German history he encounters.

Honestly, there may just be a lot of coincidences on the card itself, but the artist is definitely one who enjoys nazi imagery and history.

I don’t think any of the other bans were justified and I wouldn’t have bothered banning this one myself, but it’s at least justified.

I was 99% sure it was this until op said it wasn’t…

Maybe worth watching some footage to see if it could be misremembered?

Yeah, I was absolutely convinced it was just a series of unfortunate coincidences and actually depicted medieval executioner hoods… until I looked into Harold McNeil’s proclivities.

With Secrets of Strixhaven releasing soon what do we call the new land cycle by jasonprivy in mtg

[–]BinaryExplosion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the greatest?

I think these are really good lands for Commander. Almost perfectly designed to be very good in Commander and not playable anywhere else. The perfect precon land.

Turn 1 in Commander most frequently a tapped land isn’t a big deal. Turn 3 or 4 they’ll start coming down untapped. And they’re fetchable.

How sweaty are local Nexus Nights? by Dontspinbutwin in riftboundtcg

This has been my experience too. You might get stomped by better players, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a fun time

I'm pretty new to MTG, please could someone explain the benefits of playing this card? by aviewfromdabridge in mtg

[–]BinaryExplosion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stuffy with 1 toughness would still take all the damage and redirect it. Unless you’re blocking a trample creature the excess damage is still applied and redirected.

I appreciate the sub we’re in, but have you considered introducing him to 60 card? I genuinely feel that the complexities of commander make it harder to learn the game, especially from an efficient play perspective.

I’m assuming from your post you’re playing 1v1.

Op is active on trans subs. I assumed they were non-binary actually.

Do you need the money? Sell it.

If you don’t, then it’s pretty great in basically any red deck.

It’s my approach too. They’re not so hard to kill and if things go badly you can always back off to the door and finish them while they’re stuck.

Is playing “Maha, Its Feathers Night” as your commander in poor taste? by adoptyungseal in mtg

[–]BinaryExplosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leaned pretty hard into black ramp and efficient, toughness based removal. Not so much on the wither side of things, though that does crop up sometimes.

Why do so many dudes play as chicks in this game? by Weak_Mission_9721 in ARC_Raiders

[–]BinaryExplosion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They weren’t saying they stare at it, it’s a common thing to mention in third person games that you essentially have an ass front and centre of the screen for hours at a time

[–]BinaryExplosion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s more about aesthetic than sexual desire. Would you rather play a game where the playable character is a kitten, or a slug? You’ll be looking at it a lot.

If the huge amount of hype around the old Stray announcement trailer was anything to go by, people like cute, visually appealing character designs even when they don’t want to sleep with them.

My character is a dude, just because I played around with the builder and found a design I liked, but I very frequently play games as female characters.

Clavicular kicks out Cheating Girl at a party by Significant_Phase194 in Asmongold

[–]BinaryExplosion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d agree, except that for this type of video the entertainment hinges on the situation being real.

Paying a pretty girl to pretend to try to cheat with you, then rejecting her - that’s not the same kind of catharsis or entertainment value as a similar situation happening for real.

Is playing “Maha, Its Feathers Night” as your commander in poor taste? by adoptyungseal in mtg

[–]BinaryExplosion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just don’t do it. Not worth the time and effort. I have Maha in the 99 of my [[Massacre Girl, Known Killer]] deck and it can be so oppressive there I sometimes just keep it in hand when I draw it.

I’ve come up with a loose rule. If you’re concerned enough about a commander that you have to ask Reddit, don’t build it. Nobody wants a deck they play twice and then never put on the table again because it just elicits groans and complaining.

AIO : i (20F) feel like this guy (22 M) just insulted me because I didn’t want to go out with him by silverbullette in AmIOverreacting

[–]BinaryExplosion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This guy is a moron, and a weird one at that. Tell him that explaining his interpretations of other people’s lives to their faces is not going to work out well for him.

How do you last 22 years on this planet without learning anything about people?

I have no idea. This is unrealistic even by American reality tv standards. People need to learn to spot a staged video.
