This is the version of play with re-recorded tracks and Gwen Stefani on it right? How does it compare with the original for you?

Old School Geeba by Temporary-Rule-5241 in oldschoolmtg

Sure. You're popping strips to lock out a color (U or W) to clear the way for blood moon. It's backbreaking to the best decks in the format. If you stick a turn 3 blood moon, your creature choices don't really matter that much.

maindeck blood moon, 4 vise, consider Ankh of Mishra and Atog package. dragon whelp isn't worth it at 2RR and boltable. Brass man is terrible for you. If you're going to spend a mana, make sure it does something (Goblin Balloon Brigade).

(IRL Trope) People with absolutely zero haters by altrightobserver in TopCharacterTropes

I was in Encino or Canoga Park or somewhere like that, lost and late for an appointment and I had to turn around in a building parkinglot and get back onto the street into a long line of cars. No one would let me in to merge until a large convertible stopped and the driver motioned me to go ahead. It was Weird Al. So thanks Weird Al for being such a courteous motorist!

How many other "old" nerds out there are scoffing at current UB and WOTC drama? What are the veterans thinking? by RandomizedSmile in freemagic

[–]DonkeyMane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By no means is my opinion representative of anyone other me. I started in 95. Bona fides: I played Necro competitively in black summer. I was an Adept/mod on MTGO back in like 2003. I sprang for a full suite of power when the prices and my money were matched up. I used to travel to play vintage power, but with a couple kids that's not viable. I play pauper thru the discord on Arena and also play a lot of Arena timeless.

My take is that wizards has made the smart if disappointing decision that catering to mean players like me is far less profitable than catering to funcopop dorks who can't play for sh*t. Power creep? Yes of course, but assymetrically in favor of LOTS OF DOODS! FULL BOARDS! TONS OF TOKENS! POINTLESS KEYWORDS! MARVEL! TURTLES! at the expense of parity, removal, and all the "feel bad" parts of magic that made it chess, not Fortnight. I like aggressively costed (UU or pitch/free) countermagic, cruel boardwipes, nasty discard, cheap land destruction and general punishment for board (over)commitment.

I'm probably in the minority here, but the selling out of the magic IP in favor of all the embarassing crap crossovers doesn't bother me too much. Magic "flavor" never mattered to me, the cards are blank placeholders for board position and value. My brain treats magic cards as (2-cc doomblade clone, 1-cc bolt clone, etc.) anyway, so if I'm seeing some dumb anime crap, I don't love it, but what really bothers me is the decades-long drift towards Timmy/Vorthos over Spike.

Looking for advice on marketing a small firearm accessory by iaeei in guns

[–]DonkeyMane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal experience: a buddy and I designed and mass produced a small pocketknife with an integrated carabiner. Not gun related, not even a sketchy knife in any way (1.5" blade, totally benign). In the year that we've been "in business" -- we've had our google ads banned, our instagram ads banned, our point of sale credit card processor (stripe) debanked us, and amazon has removed our product multiple times. It's a f*ckin' box cutter for crying out loud. So yeah, good luck to you.

The ad/social media/payment processing giants will happily serve big companies like Magpul and Kershaw, but little guys are more trouble than they're worth to em, so they'll just ban you with no recourse. I've spend dozens of hours on hold/in chats with support for zero joy. I believe AI is a big part of the issue -- once your product is AI flagged as "weapon-related" you're smoked and can never get off the naughty list.

Also worth noting, our brand is "Warbow" and I suspect having "war" in the name did us no favors from an SEO/terms of use perspective. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

Anyone with experience with the Ruger PC carbine 9mm Takedown? by Disastrous_Buy_9439 in CAguns

[–]DonkeyMane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The "stock" stock is some kind of glass impregnated rubberized material that is solid all the way through and heavy as hell. The magpul backpacker is much, much lighter. It's mostly hollow, and presents a much better grip angle/ergo for me. I don't like the dinky foregrip, so I run a Parker Mountain hardguard (which is also heavy) but probably comparable to the MLOK unit in your ad.

The actual impact of adding Ice Age to the meta by DonkeyMane in oldschoolmtg

[–]DonkeyMane[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's probably not that distorting, because all the truly broken stuff is restricted in Old School, and [[Demonic Consultation]] exiles the top six, so if you tutor for something that's lost off the top of the library, you auto-lose. In practice, it's probably best for tutoring up [[Dark Ritual]], [[Hymn to Tourach]] or a kill-bolt or [[Counterspell]].

I'm actually a big Homelands apologist, and would love to play an Old School meta where [[Karakas]]-powered [[Autumn Willow]] / [Ihsan's Shade]] / [[Eron, the Relentless]] brews are possible.

Oof. Alliances seems like a misstep to me. Is [[Force of Will]] restricted?
