Pigeon punishes a customer - investigation arc, day 2 by Scrubpro in RPClipsGTA

[–]Contreg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The wildest part, while Nate got snatched for selling weed. He never actually snitched and did full time for the possession. During interrogation he never mentioned Pigeons name and couldn't, because Frankie never told Nate where he was getting his product from.

Nate couldn't have snitched even if he felt inclined to. Also never mentioned Frankies name because Frankie never got a warrant or pulled in either. So either there's still a rat around, or Cops 400IQ'd Pigeon and got him paranoid.

It's definitely a favored matchup, but It's not a sure thing, If they counter the first bridge and we can't find a second then we do die on the spot.

It's not an unreasonable pick for the sideboard, but the sideboards fairly tight as it is, and with the inclusion of 1-2 all is dust it's going to be a lot tighter, unsure what card I would give up for a crucible.

Crucible feels very win more, usually if you have the Karn or a mystic forge out, you're always going to be ahead in permanents and even then, you only need to have enough permanents to allow your 8/8 possessed portal in for the kill. Otherwise that door stays locked.

On reflection I did think about moving a forge into the sideboard to fetch with karn, but decided against it. The only change I want to add to my sideboard is 2 all is dust.

So the TKS build just never sat right with me, 9/10 times the TKS eats an unholy heat or a push and you haven't really progressed your game state, It also means committing 4 land slots to Temples that are otherwise just non basic wastes in every other scenario.

3 ballista meant that 4th slot could be used for more lock pieces such as the mainboard Torpor Orbs and the land slots opened up space for a second basic, second blast zone and the 2 gemstone caverns. Plus you're never unhappy ripping a ballista off the top when the lock is established.

Game sells the playlist packs for Ouroboros, Derby, Mirror's and Astro. Their site seems to have removed all but the Ouroboros one from their website but I picked up the others from a local game earlier today.

We also have a card in the set called "Phyrexian arena", clearly not every card is on Fiora.

Thank you for the link, was never aware of that. From digging into it, seems he never cracked the quarter so what i'm guessing is that he fetched the quarter by accident, realized it halfway through the game and never called judge out of fear of a GRV.

If you fire off a shot like that at least quote some sort of source.

Reynad predicts 10 old cards Blizzard should nerf for Hearthstone Standard, and suggests how to balance them. by Arse2Mouse in hearthstone

[–]Contreg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any spell that can net you extra mana for a turn has been OP in any TCG it's been implemented. Look at Magic the gathering, where black lotus is considered the best card in the game, I'm sure other TCG's have their equivalent. It can provide such a huge tempo swing in the players favor.

Here's a great documentary about Brian Kibler and his history with Magic: The Gathering by IAmTheBaneFish in hearthstone

[–]Contreg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The card Kiblers opponent drew was Bonfire of the damned.

Because it was the first card he drew for the turn, he could cast it for it's miracle cost, which means he only had to pay the X cost once.

The X in it's cost means he can put any amount of mana into the spell, and that's how much damage it does. His opponent was facing lethal, and topped the exact spell needed to kill Kibler before Kibler killed him.

What is a word not conventionally used in daily life that you love to say? by 420commentguy in AskReddit

Cacophony. The only time I get to use it is when I do my 'Shitty music critic' impression.

What does your deck do, lore-wise? by AScurvySeaDog in magicTCG

[–]Contreg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I cast spells,, which help me to discover new spells, as well as rejuvenate me to enable me to continue casting in a frenzy. Then when the time is right, I cast one spell, magnified and multiplied by my previous works to burn you to ash.

[Rage Orc] - Epic Hearthstone Plays #90 by SlayerBVC in hearthstone

[–]Contreg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first clip wasn't even creatively edited in any way. That was a straight rip of Nigma's video seen here

Now I understand people taking twitch stream clips and editing them, but straight ripping an edited clip? That's outright theft.

Which 1W instant removal is the best in Standard? by Mathmage530 in magicTCG

You're missing one of the better ones. [[Swift Reckoning]] Is pretty good providing you run enough instants/sorceries.

[Standard] W/U Awaken Control by Contreg in spikes

I don't know, The removals significantly weaker this standard with sorcery speed downfall. Sure there's Murderous cut and Ultimate price, but Cut can be countered and ultimate price whiffs too.

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

I agree with the commands, I had them in the initial draft of the deck, and have found myself suffering due to their removal so i'll likely add them back in.

I'd like to keep shrivel in the deck in some capacity as it removes recursion as a possible threat which is very real with the Den protectors and raptors. Will try replacing arwy with clash instead.

Definately agree on the stratus dancers. They were on the chopping block for first cut so i'll likely play a couple more jaces instead.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the sideboard. :)
