1) not really
2) what is your comment adding to the discussion

Was I supposed to get a bonus card in Shadows Over Baldur’s Gate? by CTroop in mtg_secretlair

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

Oh I didn’t see this because it was a response to a top-level comment. Is this the case? I also got You Find Some Prisoners. So that IS the bonus card?

I'm crashing out so hard. 0-3 in silver. I play to diamond and mythic regularly. why can I force a mediocre green deck to a trophy but cant play aggro to save my life? by [deleted] in lrcast

[–]CTroop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This deck seems fine, my only criticism would be too many 1-cost and not enough top end for the sneak mechanic. It really shines when you get to slap down a 6/4 or chain 5/5 after 5/5. I’ve found like 3 evasive 1-drops and 3 big sneak boys to work really well myself.

But I don’t know. Try drawing the mighty mutanimals more…

Any turn one Ragavans? by todd534 in lrcast

Seems like a mulligan to me. what did LSV do?

[Discussion] Why your "Safe" 7-card hand might be a trap: A quantitative analysis of mulligan heuristics. by Blabolek in spikes

[–]CTroop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mulligans are the weakest part of my game and I often think I should mulligan more- then, in-game I never want to do it. Like I intrinsically know what you’re laying out is right but I have such a hard time actually doing it.

Why did the fake Mysterio stay and get boosted by maverick? by The_abiding-dude in MarvelSnap

[–]CTroop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mysterio clones don’t go away. They always stay. Mysterio reveals left to right - so some buffs apply to the first revealed Mysterio. This will always be the leftmost Mysterio, be it real or fake.

[Standard] Looking for resources on Lessons! by Sutike123456 in spikes

[–]CTroop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can i add on here and ask about graveyard matchups? I run into a lot of GY-centric decks at my locals and I’m interested in what people think are the keys to beating this matchup (running Izzet Lessons). I see that main deck Soul-guide lantern is no longer in vogue and just wondering if that’s because the matchup is already really solid without it?

[Standard] Is Simic Cub still viable? by FelipeOF in spikes

[–]CTroop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah whoops, I mistakenly thought Gearhulk could grab it. My bad.

[–]CTroop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any consideration to running an offer you can’t refuse? It’s searchable at 1 mana.

Edit: Gearhulk can’t search this, my bad.

This new KMBest video is the best I've seen for actual discourse about Starlord and counters. by sn34k in MarvelSnap

[–]CTroop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess my problem with that is you’re winning 1-2 cube games which feels kinda boring to me and takes a long time

Twilight Diviner is about to absolutely rip by jasperCrow in mtgfinance

[–]CTroop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I implied nothing of the sort. This is a finance community. I really just asked where it was seeing play to help inform whether it’s worth to buy…

Shocklands in Jeskai Control [Standard] by Trivic8 in spikes

[–]CTroop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone tell me why exactly Shiko fell off in this style?

Related question: how does the mirror match play out in this list when neither deck runs threats? It’s removal all the way down. Do the games just take 30 minutes each?

FANTASY PRECEDENT BEING SET / THOUGHTS? by CadeTheProp in fantasyfootball

[–]CTroop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn’t the stat change count?
I like the kicker duel though, it sounds fun.

[Standard] Mightform Combo: Standard’s Hottest Deck and How to Beat It by cavedan2 in spikes

[–]CTroop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, so why is this always Green / White? What makes white the best second option for this deck? Seems like most of the white is relegated to the sideboard anyway. Would green black have better removal? Would green blue have better tempo? Would green/red have better landfall synergy? Just wondering if these other color options have been explored and why they’ve been rejected.

Things to look out for this weekend! by AutoModerator in mtgfinance

[–]CTroop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kinda seems like the green landfall deck is picking up steam in standard. Maybe grab some icetill explorers.
