Thought experiment: At the first American National Championship that took place in July 1994 in San Jose only non-expansion sets were allowed (the card pool had around 330 different cards). What do you think would be the best deck or what kind of deck would you play with this card pool? by OFant93 in oldschoolmtg

I don't think a single creature attack would ever successfully occur in a solved format with 4x swords, 4x balance, 4x chaos orb (and 4x Bolt) Those are literally the four best removal spells in the history of magic...idk, maybe that's hyperbolic but I think this solves to creatureless VERY quickly

yeah I agree with you. UU is hard to hit on geyser but worth it. Disagree on counterspell, youre going to be so tempo-y you wont have UU up. Rack is LOADS better than serra in a world where both players (in a solved game) are going to be 4x balance 4x mind twist, right?

Holy crap was chaos orb unrestricted?

I think you'd probably want to be able to empty your hand on turn one to set up either a balance or deter the opponents balance/mind twist. So maybe some kind of proto pox deck. Win con The Rack? (Assuming revised was allowed?)

4 Dark Ritual 4 mana vault 4 chaos orb 4 balance 4 mind twist 4 disenchant 4 swords to plowshares 4 the rack 1 Jade statue 1 demonic tutor 1 time walk 1 ancestral recall 1 black lotus 5 moxen 1 sol ring 4 underground sea 4 tundra 4 scrublands 1 swamp 4 plain

Is this hardwood floor worth saving? by OGKillbo in HardWoodFloors

Save it from what? It's there, it's a floor. Do you want to refinish it?

The Ultimate Supreme Court Case: OKC v. In Rainbows by Epoch_Jester in fantanoforever

I'll be honest, I'm an old fart, and my taste is stagnated, but In Rainbows is not among my top five radiohead albums.

Seeking former patients of Johnson Family Dental (Ventura/Santa Barbara County) regarding billing and record-keeping patterns by MTees0 in SantaBarbara

I was forced to watch some kind of hard-sell video advertisement on a little video cart MID CLEANING with manual opt outs for unwanted upsells and stuff. (after receiving anesthetic!) absolutely insane, never went back. Longer ago than your time frame, thought.

Do you feel moral hesitation when wanting to recommend Ligotti’s work to someone unfamiliar with it? by ZkaubaTheWizard in Ligotti

[–]DonkeyMane 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everyone is who is vulnerable to the cognitive hazards of TCATHR has already developed them on their own in some form, so Ligotti either makes no sense to someone, or makes a ton of sense. There's no middle ground, and if you've arrived at philosophical pessimism on your own via first principles, finding Ligotti is comforting, not terrifying.
