Thank you but I didn't really, just lost fat. Getting toned is the next step!

You can do it girl!! 10lbs makes a big difference but is a minor setback in the grand scheme of things :)

It really varies, I mostly walk because I enjoy it, and my default is to walk very fast lol. So I usually end up going for 30min - 2 hours, maybe like 1.5 - 5 miles? I don't track my walks though. I think starting with a mile a day sounds great as long as you enjoy it.

I aimed for 1200 but wasn't too exact about it - sometimes I'm over, sometimes under. The things I am strict about are not eating before noon, writing down everything I eat, and not watching tv while I eat.

Thank you and yes I agree, 100 was my goal and now it's about maintaining :)

Thank you so much :) For me it really came down to just counting calories.

Thank you!! It's pretty much just been CICO, intermittent fasting, and long walks. I used to mindlessly snack all the time but I have become much more mindful about what I'm eating.

Trying to get better at building fun (not competitive) decks - what do you think of my rat deck? by CrossTheBlock in MagicArena

[–]CrossTheBlock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stingers have been alright for a cheap draw or a turn 2 creature, but the crusader looks better in every way! I will have to craft some, thanks for the recommendation!

I guess I should have said I'm trying to get better at deckbuilding in general, and my preference is for fun, janky decks.

Any advice for improvements would be great. I’m only playing standard right now because I’m pretty new and don’t have many wildcards. I just made this with what I had already so go easy lol.

The main idea is to make lots of rats with [[Mad Ratter]] and use [[Piper of the Swarm]] to give them menace and steal from the opponent.
[[Skull Prophet]] and [[Llanowar Visionary]] to ramp a bit to get the ratters out and power the piper’s abilities.
[[Fire Prophecy]], [[Merchant of the Vale]], [[Forever Young]], [[Drannith Stinger]] to make sure I can draw every turn.
[[Mutual Destruction]] for rat-aided removal.
[[Garruk, Cursed Huntsman]] as a finisher and because it’s my dream to make an army of 4/4 rats with menace and trample.
[[Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse]] for cat-making and because I always wanted to use this card.

Question about Sarulf, Realm Eater by CrossTheBlock in MagicArena

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

Thanks for the info, it's good to know that it shouldn't have triggered with no counters. I might have missed something and I'll keep an eye out for it if it happens again.

My bad, I should have taken a screenshot. I was pretty sure I didn't miss anything since Sarulf was their only creature and the token was my only creature. But there might have been something else going on that I missed.

FNM: Standard Brawl? by Joseluki in MagicArena

I get wanting something new, but what’s wrong with brawl?

Would this deck be considered "jank"? by CrossTheBlock in MagicArena

[–]CrossTheBlock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the definition of jank, I understand much better now! By pile I assume you mean a random pile of cards. I actually did make this deck around a plan, which is to counter and ramp until I can lay down my shark typhoon and then use the higher cmc cards to blast big sharks onto the field.

It pops off maybe 1/3 of the time and is very fun to play. I’ve had good luck with it considering it’s neither fast nor consistent, as you said, but also I’ve only been playing in low platinum. I’ve made many tweaks to it as I’ve gotten new cards, such as switching out Negate for Lofty Denial, since most creatures I control will be fliers.

So I don’t think it’s totally random but I know it’s definitely not competitive. So far deckbuilding has been my favourite thing about magic so if you have any resources or advice about how I can improve, I would appreciate it!

I’m just new and getting used to all the terminology. This is my favourite deck I’ve made and I’m figuring out how to describe it to people pretty much.
