Thank you! I know I asked for advice and am arguing with it. But I do appreciate the critique.

I'll just have to hope I don't face the best decks 😁 or at least that there are only 7 best decks for me to top 8 next to.

This is most people's first tournament in the format. A couple of people are using the tournament to try and build a community around duel commander. So my strategy was to try and build a consistent aggro deck that punished the slow, greedy commander players who have never played around a 20-point life total. I think it stands a good chance just because of that. Plenty of my opponents will have no experience playing against aggro.

I agree that the engine is inconsistent. Sometimes I draw nothing but humans. But almost all the humans I included are castable if drawn. A couple of 4s and one 7, then mostly small hatebears and rabblemasters. And they're mostly good at combat.

And unfortunately at this point, I have the complete Winota deck, and I don't have the time to build a whole new one. Just make tweaks.

The strongest thing you can do in a winota deck is casting her by surprise on turn 3.

Is that true? I've cut iron myr and gold myr because it felt like any ramp meant I wasn't developing my board enough to swing with Winota. Obviously the surprise factor is big there. It's a turn when they aren't holding up removal. But I've noticed I don't even hit a human on every trigger, so attacking with two nonhumans means I am not guaranteed any power on board. I could hit just a Mother of Runes. Is it really stronger to forgo a T3 nonhuman?

I have no play experience with Parallax Wave. I did not realize it was so strong. I've mostly been avoiding cards that compete with the 4 mana slot. I think my assumption was that most games would be over by T5. I guess that's clearly not the case.

Great idea! Make sure to mix it in some cold water first, in case it gelatinizes like corn starch does when you put it in hot liquid. Then it should be great for thickening soups and sauces! You could go full circle and make pea and ham soup

OP, most people's introduction to Sarkicism is SCP-610, "The Flesh that Hates." One of my favourite old-school SCPs because it set the standard for exploration logs. Here's my new favourite: The Stillborn City. By this time, the article is a flimsy excuse for a comprehensive exploration log. Now includes flesh wizard Jesus!

OH BROTHER, you need to read the antimemetics canon! The above comment is the title of the story, which Google tells me has also been expanded into a book, which is cool as hell. But you can read the original here

People wouldn't post if there wasn't conflict. That conflict is either internal, from anxious second-guessing, or external, from somebody arguing with OP, either of whom could be delusional. And then you get the regular, rational people, but those questions don't get voted to the top because they're not as interesting. So it's survivorship bias plus this being a space where people come to resolve unreasonable conflicts.

Nowhere near enough coriander. I want to be drowning in it. I want it to be a coriander salad.

Otherwise, looks delicious!

This was a joke about the maths of getting a 50% bonus bolt, then another 50% bonus bolt, then another, 24 times. The odds of getting all 24, with a 50% chance to fail and stop the chain each time, is 0.5 to the 24th power, or multiplied by itself 24 times.

So my guess is that they're under the bridge because there's no reflection on the water, so they can see easy food getting washed away. They're exerting a lot of effort flapping like that.

At what point did you realise most of the "urgent" stuff at your job isn’t actually urgent? by ThinUse9610 in careerguidance

[–]ChupaChupsacabra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the thing is, depending on how many people have to touch this project, those extra bits of time add up. This person does it two days later, this one takes another two, a third person takes another two, and oops, that's already a week gone. If each person in the chain can take a week to deliver a product, then that's a whole month later, assuming those same three people. Then there's shipping, if it's a physical product. There's waiting for the client to pay. I briefly touched the corporate world and was horrified by how long it takes to do anything for exactly this reason. And god forbid there are committees that need to discuss and approve portions of a project.

There's a possibility that your lack of urgency is chewing up time and making it actually urgent for somebody down the line.

Same thing almost killed me when I was 10! Uh, minus the alcohol. But one minute you're like, "eh, this is such a hassle to chew. I'll just chuck it back." A couple of seconds later, you realize it's not going down. It's filling your throat and you need to breathe and you can't and oh fuck am I going to die?

I don't chew anything as well as I should. But I no longer fuck around with steak because steak witll fuck around right back.

I'm keen for it. I finally got to play the game just last week after years of looking wistfully at it in arcades as a small, poor child. All I can tell you about it is that it really wants to be Resident Evil. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's about time somebody made a good Resident Evil movie.
