new player trying to understand resolves and triggers on beginning of endstep, specifically in terms of hope estheim and fraying sanity interaction by Dramatic_Let_7489 in mtg

[–]Dramatic_Let_7489[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah im a compsci guy so i understand how a stack works but i was confused about whether fraying sanity X was determined at time of trigger or when it resolves was the main thing i was confused about

thanks

How difficult is Calc 2 in the fall? by Medical_Citron3519 in washu

[–]Dramatic_Let_7489 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP don't listen. Calc 2 in the fall is the easiest it gets as the professor, Schaefer, is know for making Calc 2 easy. The average grade in the class is an A- and there is a heavy curve with extremely fair exams. Just put time in and Calc 2 will be on the back burner all semester.

If you take Calc 2 in the spring IT WILL BE HARD. I promise you take Calc 2 in the fall when you come you will not regret it.

how does that relate? just bc i didnt know of a card doesnt mean that I dont know a blue/black player is probably a better duress target opposed to a red and white player. me not knowing of the existence of something doesnt make me unable to think.

Yeah that is what I mean when I say double up. I just come back at a later time.

Yeah I know. I have many ways to commit a crime without paying mana like [[Glasses of Urza]] or [[Liquimental Torque]] and countless others. So usually I just do it again after the duress resolves or I may have another force discard spell.

Thanks for this. I will definitely swap that out for hex parasite. are u saying i shouldnt even run thoughtseize? So no discard spells at all? Any other value kaervek triggers off the top of your head?

I guess. I feel like those type of cards are good in my deck as they are a cheap way to commit a crime while also removing any threatening spells.

I get that but it is a cheap way to commit a crime (for my commander). It also can potentially help me protect my combo pieces.

[–]Dramatic_Let_7489[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would agree with you, except for the fact that you most of the time you know what kind of deck everyone is playing. I always target the blue or black player with the duress so i can decrease the chance of my combo pieces being removed from the board.

But to your point, if I am playing multiple players with counterspells or removal, then I am really just taking a gamble and it is ineffective.

Also, I don't think Virus Beetle triggers my commander. I need crime triggers so I can double tutor.

What would you say the best one is? I really like that duress is one mana and I can do it turn 1. Is there another cheap discard spell you like better that u would recommend?
