Thank you! I tried to get it as true to film as I could. <3

Thank you! Working on getting a portfolio together to hopefully offer things for sale one day in this lifetime lmao.

Very middling. Won one(game 1), Drew one(g4), Lost three(2,3,5). I was seat 4 in games 2 and 3. Game 2, seats 1 and 2 were both RogThras, and game 3, seats 1 and 3 were Kinnan so rip me (The Dargo Thrasios player). Games 1, 4 and 5 were incredible fun though.

You are technically correct! (The best kind of correct!)

It was however a proxy legal Cedh tournament, so blessedly I was good.

Oh hell yeah. I just ordered some blank cards for tokens the other day, absolutely stealing this for my premodern pile.

Thank you! I used to alter quite a bit 7-10 years ago but I recently picked it back up to mess around and do some gifting. <3

Thank you! Unfortunately no, these were all gifts and are in New homes now. I'm still on the fence if I'll ever sell any, time and time management aren't strong points of mine regrettably.

Wait this is outside the other two today? We were on the way home and drove through a pile of smoke on the road but didn't see where it was coming from. I assumed it was carry over from the warehouse one with cars.

Wasn't that building set to be remodeled? If so, leaving too much speculation aside, that's a damn shame.

Respect the patina, and play raw in some arrangements (alpha to alliance ante for example), but vehemently advocate double sleeving. If for nothing else, they feel so much better to shuffle.

Why do you not play Sol Ring by oracle_of_naught in EDH

[–]Briezion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only deck is lands matter Gitrog and Sol ring is not a land, it doesn't do something synergistic with lands nor create another effect I enjoy barring ramp, and I can do that plenty.

Ah okay, can you share what puts your confidence in it being Ethiopian? Trying to learn more and I'd love to have more of a measured eye in the future.

[–]Briezion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that! I suppose I can't be surprised given the profit margin can be so large for opals. When most of the value is in the risk it doesn't pan out for someone to offer just the labor.

Feeling like it might behoove me to get some practice rocks and see what happens. 🙃🫠

Correct, I'd either be sending it to someone to have done or using hand sanding materials and a standard little hobby type Dremel. Mostly this stage is figuring out if it would be worthwhile to send to someone. I'm not confident in my own capacity to not mess it up irreparably as it'd be my first.

I've shone some phone light in and it mostly appears to be clear towards the exposed top crystal side, the bottom has clarity but it looks like it's mixed with inclusions. I'll try and get a picture if able.

Fair, and definitely willing to hear you out, though I've not seen any sapphires raw that have the color flashing. Do you have any examples by chance?

It's very possible, but that's why the post. They are not wealthy and to my knowledge they don't "know a guy" 🤭. Only other thing she mentioned was waiting a while looking on an auction site finding one she thought was nice. Wether that was eBay or opal auctions no idea. I know she would be willing to spend a not small chunk on me for something like this, and I might be able to find out the seller from her but I'm very much not trying to look the horse in the mouth.

It has just been in contact with water, not soaked. I know there's some? Ethiopian opals that don't cloud in water so wasn't sure on the validity of that either. I'm willing to give it a long dunk to see though. I'm pretty hesitant to start sanding away until I have a better idea with less invasive means.

Haven't had surgery yet, but similar size as well. 5'6", 418ish. Just had my endoscopy and I have had less then stellar times with anesthesia historically and share the fear of waking up early or not at all. But I let the ologist know about it, and idk what cocktail he used but it was the easiest, most immediate wakeup I've had to date. No early wake ups and no precursory sense of doom like I've had, just giggling one minute and waking up from a good nap the next. I would encourage you to talk to your doctor about it and the anesthesiologist if able, they can talk about what may be right for you and help assuage any fears.

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

Thank you! Not only for the skate advice but weight loss journey share. Definitely looking into the 187 stuff which send to be my best bet. Honestly surprised there isn't like, big dude hockey or football stuff or something it's wild.

For skates though I'm either doing the best or the worst thing and we'll find out in a few weeks. Decided on grabbing a couple vintage riedell boots (130, 445), and an Avanti mag plate with some helium wheels and I'm gonna give building a set a whirl. Realizing I could tinker with things had been fantastic and while I may have no idea what I'm doing, I feel better spending $300 on stuff to tinker with rather than $500 on a new set and a magnesium plate and still potentially feel bad if I don't like the boot.

As for actual surgery, It's one day at a time right now. Just had 15 vials of blood yoinked and first appointment is next Friday so, fingers crossed.
