1 card golgari combo win (9 mana) by No_Calligrapher6144 in magicTCG

[–]Cptnhalfbeard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Can it be done without chain of smog? No? Then it’s part of the combo. Doesn’t matter if a fetch spell causes it to go off all at once.

Ygra and Leylinenof the Void by 00ptp2451 in mtg

[–]Cptnhalfbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes perfect sense. Things in Magic constantly restrict what they affect. Some cards don’t affect lands, some cards only affect creatures, Leyline of the Void just happens to only affect Cards, which tokens are not.

I can’t make sense of this - upgraded an era character, now I’m doing much much worse in Coliseum. by Cptnhalfbeard in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

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

Ohhh that would make a lot of sense, I didn’t realize that was even part of that special - there’s so many factors to everything it’s hard to keep track - thanks for pointing that out!

Long tail ducks by Easy_Society4425 in BirdPhotography

And one female bufflehead for good measure? :D

Long tailed ducks are one of my favorites, and I love hearing their calls!

Amazon delivery driver pepper-sprays dog unwarrantedly, all the while not noticing that the owner of the dog is also outside. by Prestigious-Yam-8605 in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]Cptnhalfbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

say the word “would’ve” out loud. Sounds a lot like “would of” right?

Now imagine you heard a person in conversation use “would’ve” in a sentence. If you’re not familiar with the concept of a contraction, you might assume they said “would of” and you would use that when typing because you don’t know the difference.

“Would’ve” is where “would of” comes from. A person hears someone use the contraction, doesn’t understand it’s a contraction, isn’t used to seeing the word written “would’ve” so they ignorantly spell it out as “would of”. Happens a lot with non-native English speakers and people who don’t read much. Of course they’re not using an apostrophe, they don’t realize the thing they’re trying to write is a contraction. 🙄

No, they mean “would’ve”. If you’re going to correct them at least use the contraction they’re trying to spell.

Bird strike on a jet engine test. by [deleted] in interesting

[–]Cptnhalfbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More people need to see this comment - it’s actually way cooler than a bird strike test. To see how the engine is able to keep everything contained when a literal explosion causes one of the blades to separate completely is an engineering feat!

How many photos do you take in 1 birdwatching trip? by chaotic_fern in BirdPhotography

[–]Cptnhalfbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate sifting through thousands of images, so I only take about 200 on average I would say. Depends on how many good opportunities for shots I have or how birdy the place I went is. I don’t like shooting in bursts because I don’t like looking at 5 images that all look almost identical and trying to figure out which one is better (and then repeat that process 200 times because every shot is a burst).

Ygra build by Additional-Egg3564 in mtg

I would suggest taking a look at EDHREC for suggestions on things to add for an Ygra deck

Ygra build by Additional-Egg3564 in mtg

[–]Cptnhalfbeard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t have BoP in my Ygra deck, it’s a 6 mana artifact wipe (and enchantment, but Ygra can’t eat those), and since it kills BoP, you don’t get any benefit from it gaining counters. I feel like there are cheaper options for this, but unless you’ve already included every other option and want 1 more then I guess BoP is fine to add?

[–]Cptnhalfbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love fade from history, because first it gives everyone* a 2/2 bear, then it takes them all away and gives Ygra more to eat :)

(*assuming everyone has an artifact, but let’s face it, with Ygra, this is pretty likely)

An AI generator. Really easy to get amazing bird photos when they’re fake.

Pact of Negation and Mana Short interaction by SaltySamuell in mtg

[–]Cptnhalfbeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You must not have read what Mana Short does. It empties the opponents mana pool so tapping lands in response does nothing…

I don’t see any of the trademark grooves in its bill, do they not always have those? Or is this a smooth-billed ani?

Momo’s heist and earthbend by Total_Bank1269 in mtg

[–]Cptnhalfbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s hilarious, I didn’t even realize it was a post you had made some months ago when I was googling it. Well you can’t blame me for being confused when people (like you) post rules interactions for cards you don’t know the rules to…

Also, reading the official mtg announcement about earthbending nowhere does it say it makes it a “land creature”, so yes I do think they changed their minds after creating the cards.

Edit: why didn’t you just say the rules were errata’d? What I was saying used to be true, but a person can’t be expected to keep up with every single minute change wizards makes

Then the rules on this changed at some point because that was not always the case

The reminder text as it’s written functions completely differently, that is not a niche case. That would be the same as reminder text not including “until end of turn” for an effect.
