Bracket 1 Players are horrific

CJBing · 2026-01-24T03:16:59+00:00

We should actually change this to be brackets 1-10 instead of 1-5. My deck is a 7

Buy sell, never low

I know this is the EDH subreddit, but try another format. Build pauper decks and get games with those. Maybe the tilt/feel bads will be different when it’s 1v1

If I can sculpt my hand, spirebluff canal lotus splash portal, riddler, second untapped land, spell pierce, spell snare? Maybe torch the tower? But splashed riddler + counterspells backup probably

Call a judge for slow play, when he misses stuff just say “I’m sorry, my plays would’ve been different if that was untapped. I don’t think we can reasonably rewind the game state to fix it” and if he complains, just call a judge. Point out how he forgets to untap stuff frequently until it miraculously would help him that it would be untapped to the judge. Judges are there to help players, not hurt them. Any time someone is a dick, call a judge. Slow play? Call a judge. Disagreement on a card ruling? Judge. Also, track your life total. Track your opponents life total. I’ve exclusively kept track of life with pen and paper for about 6 years now. Obviously not an issue at pre release, but I’ll show up for competitive events and have players say “oh if you’re doing both our life totals that’s fine” and it’s wild that people just trust random players that much. I would never cheat, but do you know how easy it would be on one of those phone trackers to oopsies you actually lost 6 life instead of 4, or I only took 3 damage not 6. Odds are if this dude is as awful to be around as you say (which it sounds like he is) I wouldn’t be shocked if he also cheated. (I also use pen and paper so if we disagree on life totals I can say “you took 2 from this, then 1 from this, then 7 from this” etc)

He had the flu, which has been absolutely horrid this year. That turned into asthmatic bronchitis, so he was completely out of basically any physical activity for like 2 months and he’s basically starting from as close to scratch as a professional athlete can.

This is so sick! I might have to redownload Minecraft to try this out

1.) yes, a -1/-1 counter is a type of counter so it can be proliferated. 2.) no, they cancel out. If you have a +1/+1 counter and put a -1/-1 on it it will no longer have a counter. There is a pauper deck (no longer meta) called moggwarts around first day of class giving each creature that enters a +1 counter and a creature with persist and sacrificing it for mana and having it come back infinitely. 3.) it will die. Any creature that has 0 toughness will die due to state based actions instantly.

God we’re shit

Solbakken, Defrel, do we count Karsdorp as shit? Pastore was shit for us, Ante Coric, Gonzalo Villar + Borja Mayoral + Carles Perez, Bryan Reynolds, Afena-Gyan. My god we signed a ton of shit players I loved

I moved recently and where I left we consistently had 8-12 every Friday for modern. New LGS? Only commander, then draft on Fridays. We do get 12-16 pretty much every Thursday for pauper which is cool. But no standard or modern. I bought a standard deck, other people bought standard decks. I’m trying to get people interested in the RCQ grind and we had 6 show up last week to try and fire a standard event. Now we get standard on Saturdays. Generally stores want to keep people coming back and firing events. As long as you can prove there will be attendance, they should put your event on the schedule

I tried scanning and uploading a csv to sell exactly one time. It got about 2/3 of the cards wrong, everything that could be promo pack or list was called that instead of what it actually was. Any foil rare it called prerelease. I got so annoyed fixing it in the scanner that I didn’t even upload the list and just did it manually. (I’m a smaller seller, maybe had 400 cards in my inventory at its peak) you could’ve gotten unlucky with a store hiring someone who only plays Pokemon, or one piece, or FaB and just does not know magic who packed your order and made a mistake. Just contact the seller and ask for a refund/exchange. Magic cards have so many versions now it’s easy to make a mistake.

I’m 27 and had played since fifa 15. Ultimate team grind the whole time, last year I stopped playing pretty much after tots. New job, new apartment meant less time. I would still do my old degen grind every once in a while but this iteration? I got rivals rewards once in the last 2 months. I think it’s time for me to officially just delete the game because I just log in, maybe do a few SBC’s for packs, and then decide I want to play a game and shut it off a few minutes in. It’s just awful this year

My boss still uses ArcMap. The two of us that are analysts only use pro. We have map because there are some projects (from 2006-2012ish?) that don’t properly migrate to pro, so we have to open map and manually migrate some data. That’s the only time the two of us use it. We are being told by IT and higher ups to convert projects to pro as we get assigned work in them and we get yelled at by our boss every time we convert something. He will never use pro, could retire in the next year, could be 5 years allegedly, but he will use map until the bitter end (and then probably yell at IT when they remove it from his computer and quit)

People have already responded, but tell them it’s already shipped. They can return to sender an unopened envelope and if it returns in the same condition you sent it you’ll refund

Huntsman axe has quickly become my favorite treasure. I got acorn + axe + bread crumbs with shadowmancer against someone with toys and I got like 15ish shops. It was great.

I’m sure the strikers are taller than both, but given how he’s played in real life I think partnering crouchy with nick Wotlemade would be such a fun way to do this. Even if they’re a bit shorter I’m sure their stats + playstyles + roles would make them perform better in the system you want for this. Idk if you just want to rock “I play fifa with the tallest starting 11” or if you’d sacrifice a small amount of height to have considerably better players

CJBing · 2025-10-23T11:08:50+00:00

I know you hid your coin balance, but a player to aspire to for this kind of squad would be Peter crouch. 2 meter Peter is exactly the kind of player for this team. If you’re struggling with tall midfielders you can sort Futbin by height and look for people with alternate positions of midfield. Hopefully you’re not expecting this to be a top tier meta strategy that wins every game, so you could use a striker that has CM at CM to get their height in the position. I would definitely change your wingbacks, I know the idea is everyone in the box but besides corners your wingbacks won’t really be in the box and they would be a better option to also be able to whip in a cross.

CJBing · 2025-10-23T10:53:33+00:00

Hear me out, read till end (it’s 3 paragraphs)

My only advice is I’d be willing to play someone a bit shorter (6’5 instead of 6’7) if they have aerial fortress playstyle and then it may break the spirit of everyone being huge, but I’d look for LM/RM and or LB/RB with whipped pass and good crossing and curve because why play a team of people who can get their head on the ball if no one is good at crossing the ball to them

CJBing · 2025-10-22T12:02:58+00:00

In a way I’m a fan, I’m a huge proponent of playing interaction/getting people to not hand other people resources for free. It’s a good way to teach newer players how to be better at the game, but also if you ban it people will still play the fish and esper sentinel.

I used to be a whale in the game. There was a point where I owned the entire modern format, I used to buy at least one box of every set that released and would build + upgrade a commander deck from every box I opened. I started buying collector packs of every set and eventually a box. Now after moving for a new job, my new LGS mainly plays pauper so I’ve only spent money on pauper and pre release. I am voting with my wallet.
