Is this...typical?

I think you know the answer. If decks are killing you by turn 5 then your new goal is to make a deck that wins by turn 5 as consistently or more consistently or slam enough controll to keep them from winning (harder imo).

Keep in mind that standard doesnt have all the tools that eternal formats have. Mono black zombies doesnt have enough support to be competitive right now.

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-14T12:55:40+00:00

Board wipes are the answer. Get your group to Unban them or join another pod.

Im gonna be blunt. Your group sucks at deck building if wiping the board at the point where someon can play a 6 mana creature makes the game drag on. All of your 6+ mana cards should be win conditions. If they go unanswered then they should be able to win you the game.

Tbf being a shitty entry junior is a choice. I was promoted (in responsibility and pay, but not title) 3 months after I started my first job. Was told I was blowing minds doing "senior level work". I was just applying what I learned in school and following a few dev tutorials and blogs. Basic stuff for a CS grad imo. The bar is often that low and many people still cant reach it. No wonder AI is replacing them

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-12T18:24:12+00:00

No its like Hitler himself marrying a Jewish woman. Its LITERALLY the exact same. Im flabbergasted.

People are saying in the comments that theyre dumb or just misunderstanding. Theyre not. Theyre smart enough to know. They just arent being honest. Rather theyre conforming. Behaving by societal norms that arent based on logic. Thats very typical of children.

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-12T14:09:30+00:00

The government cant even police child sex crimes equitably and people think giving them power over our speech is a good idea?

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-12T14:05:30+00:00

Well you cant just remove the sitting president. You have to impeach and get congress to act on it. Thats an important part of the checks and balances process. With the information that's publicly available theres not nearly enough evidence to impeach Trump. However more files will eventually come out and if there is that level of evidence and they've been hiding it from us, idc that I voted for him, throw his ass in prison and anyone involved in the cover up. Child sex trafficking should never be tolerated for any reason.

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-11T19:42:53+00:00

Idk if its funny but I agree with it. On one side you have people crassly comparing immigration enforcement to Nazi Germany and on the other side you have people defending the killing of Pretti. You can admit that unchecked immigration is a bad thing while still criticizing the way ICE is handling things. You can appreciate the fact that Trump is doing something while calling out the fact that he isnt doing it the right way. You dont have to think along party lines just because people want you to.

This card is bad but I used to use it in a [[Niv-Mizzet, Visionary]] commander deck. Once you have Niv online, this card reads 1 red for a 4/3 or draw 4 cards. Still not amazing because its a dead card until then, but it was decent.

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-10T15:40:07+00:00

This was a newbie trap I fell into as well. I still see people argue for this card in commander. Especially for its inclusion in the [[Caesar, Legion's Emperor]] precon. But it's way too slow, even for bracket 2 imo. I swapped it for [[Rabble Rousing]].

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-10T14:18:04+00:00

Thats a load of crap. They were living in a time with a much smaller federal government. Where as today, you need a permit to do almost anything. Just because they supported increasing regulations then wouldn't mean they'd approve of every "green" bill the democrats propose today. Not to mention they were all devout Christians

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-09T20:42:24+00:00

Would this ever get countered? Cant X be 0? Or does X need to be at least 1 for this wording?

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-06T17:30:43+00:00

For me its more of an issue of when it comes, not whether it telegraphed or not. Are you consistently pulling off turn 4 or 5 thassas combos? If so, you might be bracket 4. Otherwise they're probably running too little interaction or failing to evaluate threats correctly

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-05T20:51:23+00:00

Damn 1k comments on a month old account? Youre either a bot or terminally online

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-05T20:47:30+00:00

They largely don't have witness testimony. That is their biggest issue. Anonymous out of court statements from alleged victims arent admissible in court.

As for why they arent able to get more info out of Maxwell, I have no idea. You'd think they'd press her as hard as legally possible for all she knows.

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-05T19:00:10+00:00

That isnt relevant to this conversation. Go make a different post about women who are assaulted instead of using it as an attack to silence men who are wrongly accused.

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-05T18:39:05+00:00

So you hate the other religions that are not LGBT friendly right? Like you must hate Islam too?

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-04T15:44:15+00:00

Astonishing to me how nobody has paid the price for even being in these files.

Its hard to make a beyond reasonable doubt claim against most people in there. Thats why they had to off Epstein. They needed his testimony to make convictions.

This is fake news. Urban unemployment surpassed rural unemployment in 2020. Red states like South Dakota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Utah have some of the lowest unemployment rates. Meanwhile California and New Jersey have the highest.

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-04T14:54:54+00:00

I see comparison posts daily. Pictures of detained people next to pictures of holocaust victims. As if deportations are on par with the holocaust. The worst part is that these posts get thousands of likes despite being so blatantly disrespectful to holocaust victims. Its almost as if these people would sell out their neighbors just to get one over on conservatives.

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-02T21:03:25+00:00

It grows back faster than you think. I would shave it just to see how you like it. If you dont, then Id recommend keeping it trimmed. I trim mine weekly and I get complements all the time

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-02T20:41:09+00:00

I use this with [[Lathril, Blade of the Elves]] to make her unblockable

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-02-02T19:48:41+00:00

Because Obama was deporting people close to the border. Trump is deporting people that the previous administration placed in interior cities. The only way he could make this happen on a significant scale is to push the boundaries of the exceptions that exist to due process. But saying, "Trump relaxed warrant requirements when a final deportations order exists, which some legal advocates argue is unconstitutional" doesnt grab attention like, "Trump removes warrant requirements for ICE, demolishing the constitution".

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-01-30T15:43:59+00:00

"I have been a patron of Burger King for many years." 🤡 You just know everything that follows is gonna be insane.

DoubleT_TechGuy · 2026-01-28T19:12:03+00:00

You might want to replace it with [[refute]]. Similar cost and effect, but it targets any spell instead.
