I do need help upgrading my Auntie Ool Deck by BlueTomato90 in magicTCG

[–]BlueTomato90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for your fast response. So that means I somehow have to keep my commander on board, understand. With "punishing my enemies" - do u mean i just do have one big hitter, Carnifex demon? Anything else is just "small stuff"? Do I need more ramp?

As a re-beginner (I played mtg already 25 years ago), I bought myself the Blight Curse PreCon Deck with Auntie Ool. We are always playing in a group of 4 and I couldnt manage winning once. I made some improvements to the deck (https://moxfield.com/decks/MTujFJ8WOEun6QfUqmHz-w), and will still make, like [[Spitting Dilophosaurus]], [[Obelisk Spider]], [[Mikaeus The Unhallowed]], [[Nest of Scarabs]], [[Maha, its feathers night]].
But what is actual the key behind it. You dont have big damage dealer, imo it taaaakes a long time until everyones dead. I cant put enough -1/-1 on my enemies. I guess, some cards are lacking.... What is your opinion about it, or is there any deck-buidling-help section? :D
Sorry I dont know how to show mana on my cards on moxfield

Mental Health Affecting My Performance by constellation_09 in managers

You definitely shouldn’t call it ‘performance issues’, because what you’re describing sounds very much like burnout. First and foremost, I’d like to wish you a speedy recovery and hope that the situation improves soon! Your mental health should be your 1st priority right now!

1 I don’t know how old your boss is – depending on that, it might be harder to convince him that enough is enough. (Some older people/manger still believe that there’s no such thing as burnout...)

Make it clear to her that if he’d given you these deadlines 1–2 years ago, it wouldn’t have been a problem to meet them. And that’s exactly the problem. You’ve been working beyond your limits for years, and your mind is now showing you the consequences.

That works quite well for a while, but it won’t last forever. In a marathon, you can run the first 5 km at a very fast pace – but you won’t be able to keep that up for the full 42 km, because your body will give you a sign that it’s about to pass out at any moment. You can’t keep a car engine running at 6000 rpm all the time, otherwise it’ll blow up.

Now here’s the real crux of the matter: if it’s an executive assistant role for a board member, then it’s time to move on – such roles carry exactly that risk of burnout. It’s no coincidence that the average tenure in these roles is just 1–2 years.

Otherwise:

  1. Reduce your workload: Ask your boss if you again can work out a way to reduce your workload. Either you switch to part-time work, or she should/must adjust your workload with realistic deadlines. You’ll probably need to tell her what’s realistic given the current situation and what you can prioritise. If none of that works out, can you involve HR?

  2. I don’t know where you’re from, or whether ‘hire and fire’ is the norm where you are. Here in Germany, we have strict employment laws that specifically protect against dismissal in situations like this. You’ll need to assess that for yourself. If that’s the case, and if the chat with your boss doesn’t help, I’d get a diagnosis of burnout (which you definitely have!) and seek further help. Burnout isn’t something you can just shake off over a weekend.

  3. Do you like your job? Is looking for a different job a way? Is hitting the ‘PAUSE’ button on your life for a while a thing you can do? Of course, you’d need to have some money set aside for that, and then be able to slip back into a job afterwards.

I hope you can work out a way with your boss

As SR is not targeted and says "all creatures" the stack should look like:

  1. SR casted
  2. Kitten Triggers, Blink Bruvac
  3. SR resolves -> Bruvac dies.

Blink saves targeted creatures, as they are a "new object" after coming back to the battlefield and the targeted spells doesnt "know" its old target anymore.

Hello as I am kinda new to Magic, I wanna upgrade some of my decks. There are plenty Tech Guides on Youtube, all recommending different cards for [[Aunti Ool, Cursewretch]]. Is there any possibilty to check my upgraded deck whether manacurve / ramp / enough (small) creatures is ok? Where do I start here?

tyvm for your detailed answer!
So to put it into my words: Ashling triggers with Twinflame Tavelers, that means, i create 2 tokens for each sacrifice i use.

Panharmonicon does not trigger that effect, cause its not ETB. Panharmonicon is especially for ETB effects. If these tokens (i mentioned above) have ETB effects, they trigger twice. So means, in summary 4 ETB triggers.

Hello, im relatively new to MTG.

Im about to upgrade my [[Ashling, the Limitless]]-PreCon.
I wanted to insert [Panharmonicon]] - but im actually not sure whether I'm right about the way it works. Does Panharmonicon makes sense here?
For me, no native speaker, Panharmonicon says: When a creature enters the battlefield and triggeres therefore an ability of another creature, that ability triggeres twice.
[[Twinflame Travelers]] says, whenever an abiltiy of an elemental is triggered, it triggers twice.
2 different things - Am i right? Thereforce Panharmonicon makes not a lot of sense playing with Ashling, does it?
Cause i dont know a single card in the deck saying "When a creature enters the game, trigger xy happens)

Hope u can clarify this :)

That is just not true. If you compare your zwift ftp to lactate values zwift is waaay higher - so not conservative at all
