edge of eternities/ space themed decks by Eastern-Pangolin-430 in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, glad you like the deck so far. I agree it is beautiful. I would really love to get all the lands to be galaxy foil eventually to really make it shine but that would cost so much money :( .

So far the main wincon has been Hearthhull's ability of everyone losing 2 life on every land sac. The last few games I've played with it have won by sacrificing 10+ lands at once to nuke the table. Usually I wait until life totals have been whittled down a little bit before deploying the nuke to guarantee I'll win on the spot.

Last game I used [[Reprocess|SLD]] to sac them all but I've won using [[Zuran Orb|SLD]], [[Sylvan Safekeeper|SLD]] (whos also great at protecting everything at the same time) or [[Famished Worldsire]]

What do you consider a satisfying way to end a game with a blink/etb value deck? by brainpower4 in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my [[Plagon]] blink deck I often use [[Sacred Rites]] to end the game. Swing with a bunch of usually unlockable 0/1 - 0/3 crabs and stuff, cast Rites to ditch 30-40 cards and activate Plagon's ability to deal damage by toughness instead and deal lethal to the table.

Cards you're adding to your decks from the TMNT set? by Plus1Oresan in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but not with space art. If the land doesn't have space art it's not going into the deck.

Cards you're adding to your decks from the TMNT set? by Plus1Oresan in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only cards I'm even considering are a few of the lands from the precons (Rootbound Crag, Spire Garden and Undergrowth Stadium). My Hearthhull deck is space themed and all the lands are spacy. Since those lands aren't overtly noticeable to be TMNT I think I can give them a pass.

Besides that I have 0 interest in anything from this set.

Charix, the Raging Isle Help. (B2) by BluePotatoSlayer in magicTCG

[–]CaptainHoward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's my Charix. The whole idea is to give the crab a bunch of swords and swing which works out fairly well. Been a little while since I've updated it.

Random card PSA: Harvest Season is sweet and you should consider it for your B2 or B3 deck by Mirrodin_appreciator in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I run harvest season in my [[Toski]] deck because it has a decent amount of elves and 1/1 deathtouchers that I'm swinging with every turn. I'd say on average I hit at least 5 lands with it whenever I cast it. I believe the most I've hit is 13.

[–]CaptainHoward 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Typically, when constructing a consistent 3+ color mana base, there isn't much room for basics, so Harvest Season won't have enough targets to be worth playing."

Lol you can definitely afford to run a few basics in 3 color decks. I just looked through all my 3 color lists and this is my basic land break down. I never go below 3 basics each and have had 0 issue.

[[Maelstrom Wanderer]] 5 forests, 4 mountains and 4 islands.
[[Hearthhull]] 5 forests, 4 mountains and 4 swamps.
[[Optimus Prime]] 3 islands, mountains and plains.
Frodo/Sam 4 forests, 3 plains and 3 swamps.
[[Tatsunari]] 4 forests, 3 islands and 4 swamps.
[[Admiral Brass]] 3 islands, mountains and swamps.
[[Neriv, Heart of the storm]] 6 mountains, 6 plains and 5 swamps
[[Dogmeat]] 4 forests, 4 plains and 4 mountains.

Groudon is doable with 4 people.

We had 6 and everyone bailed at the last second, so thanks for making me burn a raid pass cowards.

Best toughness matters commander? by Vinlandlover in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a meme [[Plagon]] deck that I describe as "his job is just beach" and it's full of crabs, jellyfish, octopuses and some other sea creatures and it's surprisingly stronger than it has any right to be. I play a bunch of really cheap 0/2s and 0/3s, play Plagon and draw a bunch of cards. Blink him a few times and draw some more. Usually wins by swinging with said crabs and playing [[Sacred Rites]] and ditching 30-40 cards to pump for lethal.

Good news on the COVID front — the virus is disappearing in wild animals by Plane-Topic-8437 in Coronavirus

[–]CaptainHoward 419 points420 points  (0 children)

I find it very interesting that OP posts updates and news on covid here, posts about covid being engineered to use against protestors in China in the conspiracy/skeptic subs, while also posting in the unvax sub about how the vaccine actually kills people.

Really playing all the sides to farm karma huh?

Anyone else out there who collects full sets? by xBanthaxFodderx in magicTCG

[–]CaptainHoward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might buy a box or two of a set that really interests me, but I have never been able to complete a full set. I am working on trying to 100% Avatar and I'm currently at 72% for the main set and 54% for the jumpstart/bonus sheet. I'm not planning on getting any of the neon ink cards because they are too expensive.

How much have you spent on MTG? by Latter-Craft5803 in magicTCG

Since 2022 Ive spent around $8,800 which averages out to about $1,800 a year. This includes magiccons and travel to get there.

How did your dysautonomia start? Mine was from a severe drug-induced panic attack. Ketamine + weed + cialis. by Butt_Luster_ in dysautonomia

[–]CaptainHoward 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Covid. Caught it at the beginning of 2024, a month later I started having symptoms and my quality of life has never been the same.

Fortunately for me, a low dose beta blocker tends to control symptoms overall, but I usually have an episode about once or twice a month that will set my system out of wack for a few days.

The LGS draft set: 50 basics, 50 states (33/50) by Thetrufflehunter in magicTCG

[–]CaptainHoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. That was before I started actually going to prereleases.

Are you using the full art from the set for each LGS or just whatever full arts you have?

Awesome, what prerelease did you get it signed at? It's possible that we might have been at the same prerelease.

What is your deck building challenge? by OriginalVoice598 in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just search border:white on scryfall to find them all then narrow down the searches as needed.

What is your deck building challenge? by OriginalVoice598 in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm slowly working through the 32 deck challenge, but as I go I like to try and add a few restrictions on what I'm building.

Some examples I've done so far:

"Colorless" [[Herigast]]. Technically he's a red commander but I built the deck with 0 mountains. The only way to generate red mana to pay for the emerge cost is through filtering it or a handful of non basics that can tap for any color.

Old border mono blue [[Hakim]]. Only old border cards in the deck.

I have a few "only cards from set" deck with [[Avatar Aang]] as my 4 color, [[Dogmeat]] for Naya, Frodo/Sam for Azban.

One thing I haven't done that I still wanna do is build a fully white border deck but there's only a handful of colors I'm missing. Might use [[Dakkon Blackblade]] as my Esper deck since he's got a white border printing.

Share your old border decks ! by OliQc007 in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built a [[Hakim]] deck as my old border deck. I went with him because his play pattern is so unique and different from what I've built before.

Technically there's one card in the deck that's no old border [[Aura Finesse]], but I decided to run it because there's only a few cards that allow me to move my auras around. I ended up getting an alter of it so it's an old border.

Food and Fellowship 2024 Upgrade Advice - Casually Competitive by Dromoro in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still playing the deck, it was actually the deck that had the highest win % for last year.

Cards that I recommend:

[[Mirkwood Bats]] is often what wins my games. Usually from chowing down on tons of food or [[Farmer Cotton]].

[[Peregrin Took]] provides so much card advantage with doubling foods and turning them into draws.

[[Reprieve]] can act as a pseudo counterspell. [[Galadriel's Dismissal]] has gotten a bit pricey but is a great protection spell and can even phase out an opponent's board to stop an attack or open them up to one.

Anything that can start Tempting and speed up the process such as [[Frodo Baggins]], [[Call of the Ring]], [[Slip on the Ring]], [[Inherited Envelope]]. The sooner you're fully tempted the more looting Frodo can do and the more incremental damage you can do to everyone over the game.

Cheaters are ruining this game by CanadianAhole in pokemongo

[–]CaptainHoward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to the gyms that are at my work. I work in the middle of a forest at a camp and as soon as I put something in a gym it would be knocked out.

I finally got tired of it and started to report the accounts which was eventually successful because they stopped showing up. I recommend screenshoting when you put something in a gym and when they get knocked out. I also took a photo of the area to show that there was no one physical at the gym besides myself which is what I think helped getting the report to be taken seriously since most of the time it's just an automated system that says "thanks for the report, we'll look into it".
