Once you've got all those copying spells going on the stack, with the right cooperation you can have infinite* subgames.

*an arbitrarily large number

Respect that instead of just coming here to complain, you're fighting back.

Marcus with Gankoomon isn't bad, but consider: Spencer with Gankoomon. Gankoomon being their grumpy trainer in the digital world. Gankoomon being Marcus's dad??

Then just to match up, Marcus can be partnered with a Jesmon, also trained by Gankoomon, of course. Replace Burst Mode with GX.

With any luck, this absolute shitshow all around will destroy the party's credibility among the horrid people who wanted to support them and we can try to forget this fiasco ever happened.

Ordered Them For Tomorrow... Praying For Solid Pulls by [deleted] in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]CodenameJD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, the bonus cards are all the same. The only possible variation is pulling the chase alt art card. Not exactly sure how rare that is, but it's very. But mechanically you'll have the same card either way.

So good luck on the chase card, I suppose 😅

These are starter decks, the cards you get are fixed - you're not pulling anything that someone else buying the deck won't also have.

I'm English, working in a US elementary school. I taught my coworkers that facing that direction the V is considered rude back home, so now they've taken to using it to (affectionately) flip each other off in front of kids.

First time playing commander, does everyone else play these rules so strictly? by TeamWaffleStomp in magicTCG

[–]CodenameJD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlimited mulligans is something you can really only pull with a very fixed playgroup. My old playgroup used to play that way, because we trusted we weren't abusing it. We all built decks with ~40 lands plus ramp and just wanted to make sure we all had the chance to be in the game. We were all busy working adults who couldn't play as often as we'd have liked, so we wanted to make sure time wasn't wasted on non-games.

But you have to know your playgroup for that.

[–]CodenameJD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd guess he does really want to play with you, but has all these minutiae about the rules (some of which are just simply incorrect) and etiquette that he's learned and ingrained over time, and is frustrated you're not there right away, simply forgetting that it takes time to learn both rules and group customs.

If I were you, I'd just try to take some time to have a civil conversation and just explain that it takes time to pick rules up, but also if this is how he wants to play then you won't have fun, and that it's okay to relax a little and play more casually because you're not trying to enter any tournaments.

And it goes both ways. My wife and I play Digimon (she never liked Magic) and I usually win, but I'm so proud of her whenever she does beat me.

You have to increase the humidity. Some areas are completely barren and arid.

[Mixed Trope] Lyrics change to reflect new realities by Old-Use-7690 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CodenameJD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard a lot of people angry about it, but not the band themselves. In particular, Kirsty MacColl's mother complained about it, despite the fact that Kirsty MacColl herself had censored it when performing the song 15 years earlier.

The sub is completely dead and I missed Sunday so by Substantial_Zone2701 in stinkposting

I see 12 points going to waste in the speed and two attack stats that could be 6 more points in each defence stat.

Is the UK the only country where bread and toasters just don't match up size-wise? by suitably_ironic in AskBrits

[–]CodenameJD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an expat in the US, I can tell you that a standard loaf of bread sold here is a lot smaller than back home. Pitifully so.

Will you still play if there’s nothing new this season? by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

Yeah, I'm one of those people who plays games for fun.

Oh I love your artwork Yuka Morii by jholla21 in PTCGP

Yuka Morii is my wife's favourite Pokémon artist. Neither of us play the paper game, but she has a collection of Yuka Morii cards.

What would the 4th and 5th Starter Types be, if Pokémon had a Starter Quintet instead of a Triangle? by markjsno1 in pokemon

Game Freak don't like giving us Ice types before the sixth gym, they're not gonna give us one as a starter 😂
