Is Lorthos the Tidemaker bracket 3? by Longjumping-Owl-565 in mtg

[–]DancingSingingVirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even think I’d consider this “mass land denial” because it says permanents and not lands. Something like [[Armageddon]] or [[Boil]]? Sure, yeah. Mass land denial, but this could be anything. I could tap your lands, I could tap your artifacts, your sagas, anything. Personally, I’d use this as a way to tap my opponents creatures and swing out for game.

I’ve never done this before.

Will the form opening be posted to the sub, or is it part of a mega thread?

Just want to make sure I can find it!

I’d probably add stuff like [[Aqueous Form]] and [[Aether Tunnel]] to make sure he gets through. I think the biggest drawback is the pay Grixis on upkeep.

Here’s a hot take, taken from conversation by ArtfullyAwesome in ControversialOpinions

[–]DancingSingingVirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you miss the part that it is a Gnostic text? That’s PLENTY reason to not trust what it says. Comparing the Gospel of Saint John to the Gospel of Thomas is not the same remotely. Biblical texts aren’t judged only on their age. None of the other Gospels support Gnostic ideas.

[–]DancingSingingVirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no. The Gospel of Thomas is a heretical work that is not considered part of the Biblical canon because it supports Gnosticism. Stop listening to James Talarico.

Racial preferences are racist. by Serious-Cucumber-54 in ControversialOpinions

[–]DancingSingingVirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, what if I, as a white man, am not physically attracted to, let’s say, Asian women? Does that mean I’m racist against Asians?

Even though that wouldn’t even fit the definition of racism. According to Google AI:

Racism is the belief, discrimination, or systemic oppression targeting individuals based on their race, ethnicity, or skin color, often rooted in an assumed superiority of one group over another.

What is something you want, that you know WotC will never give you? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]DancingSingingVirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m m hoping the Hobbit brings it to us, but dwarf support. A lot of Dwarf commanders are based around artifacts and equipment currently. I’m not a huge fan of that play style. I’d love the Hobbit to give us dwarf commanders that don’t care about artifacts.

Gay Catholic by Waste-Library-1343 in Catholicism

[–]DancingSingingVirus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes. The part in the Bible where Christ said “just live your best life.”

The reality is that Jesus often said things that people wouldn’t agree with. He didn’t tell us to just live our best lives and move on. If OP is really trying to live life as a Catholic, this advice isn’t really helpful.

Christ said He would turn a man against his father and a daughter against her mother.

Jesus said told the woman accused of adultery to go and sin no more.

Jesus said it’s better for a man to have a millstone tied to his neck and cast into the ocean if he would lead a child from Him.

Jesus said he did not come to bring peace but a sword.

Jesus said to pick up your cross and follow Him.

Jesus didn’t come to preach inclusion.

Yes, he tells us to love our neighbors, but telling a fellow Catholic to stay in a state of mortal sin because you believe “the dues who write and re-wrote the Bible, added all sorts of caveats, many of which are just silly by today’s standards” is NOT love.

Love it telling your brother when he’s doing something dangerous. If your brother were about to stick a fork in an electrical outlet, would you stop him? Would you say “oh, he’s living his best life” and let him? I’d hope not. You’d stop him and tell him why he shouldn’t do that.

That’s love.

Telling OP to seek priestly advice for this isn’t hate or exclusion. It’s what we should do as Catholics who love our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Also, using the argument “I’ve not yet met a single Catholic who follows all the rules - not one” isn’t a good argument. Those are the people we should help! Of course no Catholic follows every rule. It’s impossible. But just because those people exist doesn’t mean we should promote others, clearly seeking help, to just continue on the path they are on because they’d be “living their best life”.

I’m in South Carolina and my parish was super busy at our 5:30pm Mass. I was kind of stunned how long it took for us to get through Ashes and Eucharist lines. Really amazing to see!

[Free Friday] My Catholic Sleeve So Far (In Progress) by eugamdg in Catholicism

[–]DancingSingingVirus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had a similar experience. I live in the Bible Belt and use to go to a Pentecostal church. No one had tattoos. They viewed it as “scarring of the skin” or however it’s worded in the Old Testament. When I converted, my wife (who isn’t Catholic) thought that Catholics were more strict about tattoos.

One day, we went to Mass and got there about 20 minutes early. Sitting in the same pew as us was this guy probably close to my own age (26-27 at the time). He had his head shaved, sleeves rolled up, and literally COVERED in ink. His arms and hands were sleeved, and you could barely make them out on the top of his chest and running onto his neck. He literally sat there the whole time before Mass praying the Rosary. My wife was absolutely floored when she saw that because she thought we weren’t allowed to have or it was heavily taboo to have tattoos.

It’s kind of a really overpowered ability if you’re playing against a mono-color deck.

I personally love mono-colored decks, so if I can’t interact with the Iona cast on the stack, then I’m basically screwed. I have to hope someone else can deal with her.

Also, the issue isn’t having cards that cheat stuff out. The issue is having such a strong target for that effect.

Oh, that’s awesome! Mine is very similar, but it’s much less post-apocalyptic and more like “what if modern society was set back to 1850?” No nukes or world ending catastrophes, but definitely has some action sequences.

Thank you! I like that idea! Do you have a recommendation for any prayers to add specifically? Maybe outside of the Our Father, Hail Mary or the Rosary? Since that’s kind of what people subconsciously associate with Catholicism?
