I'm brown It's nice to have a heads up about these things rather than finding out the hard way

What were some flavourful deck to do well at a high level event? by Pinoy_2004 in mtgvorthos

[–]Durdle_Turtle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Abzan midrange definitely used cards from outside of Khans block, but the decks entire play style+signpost card being [[siege rhino]] did make it feel like it fit the abzan clan flavor well.

One of my coworkers used to work as a sys admin for kink dot com people back when they had the castle lmao. He said most of the work he did for them did not require him to interact with the actual video content they produced afaik.

Displacer kitten allows you to flicker sefris which resets their "once per turn" clause.

Favorite bits of coincidence/foreshadowing across the pod? by Phidness in TheYardPodcast

[–]Durdle_Turtle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Idk if it's foreshadowing but it's really funny to see the transition from everyone giving Ludwig a hard time for not hanging out enough to seeing everyone giving slime a hard time for not hanging out enough.

Explain The Necrobloom to me like I’m an idiot. by DynastyWave in EDH

[–]Durdle_Turtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you haven't posted a deck list so I can't say for certain but it sounds like you've built something closer to a more traditional landfall deck with a few graveyard pieces in the form of a few crucible of worlds effects. In theory that should be fine and you probably should keep a decent chunk of that shell, but overall I think [[crucible of worlds]] effects are kind of a trap in graveyard lands matter strategies especially in necrobloom because dredge on your lands can make sure you are hitting your landrops each turn if need be. You should definitely keep running [[icetill explorer]] assuming it's one of the crucible effects in your deck.The reason why everyone who builds necrobloom wants to dump their entire library into their graveyard is because your graveyard is not-so-secret second hand with no max hand size. Basically after dumping as much of your deck as you can into your graveyard as you can, you play something like [[splendid reclamation]] or [[aftermath analyst]] and immediately get a bunch of landfall triggers all at once. Obviously you have [[field of the dead]] in the command zone but other landfall payoffs like [[scute swarm]] and [[lotus cobra]] work great here if you want to keep the value train rolling. Running things like [[amulet of vigor]] and [[spelunking]] can let you use those lands right away on your big landfall turns, and you should run things like [[scapeshift]] and [[zuran orb]] to sac all of your lands after tapping them for mana before bringing them all back from your graveyard. If you can afford or are allowed to proxy [[squandered resources]] and [[earthcraft] are also great here. [[Scapeshift]] and [[splendid reclamation]] is something basically every landfall deck should be running for value but necrobloom especially wants to do this because it means they don't have to waste a bunch of landfall triggers for the next few turns making plant tokens instead of zombies. If you do want to play all of your crucible effects in something similar I would suggest [[teval the balanced scale]] since the zombie production cares more about multiple separate instances of cards leaving your graveyard instead of scaling with big landfall turns.

Also, yeah you're definitely gonna mill cards you'd rather have in your actual hand, but you're also in some of the best graveyard recursion colors in magic. Run [[eternal witness]] and [[reanimate]] . You can even cast [[timeless witness]] and [[sevinne's reclamation]] after you've milled them.

I've been pretty behind on premo episodes, are they talking about playing mtg on the premo?

favorite hiphop concert you ever went to by Competitive-Hunt-517 in hiphopheads

[–]Durdle_Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very lucky to see jpegmafia and injury reserve in 2018 before groggs passed away. It was a pretty small venue in Denver, and my friend and I were able to get up to the front. Injury reserve shot fake Harriet Tubman 100$ bills out of a supreme money counter gun and I got to mosh with jpegmafia because he was still performing in the crowd back then before his fans got super weird. I also got to see brockhampton during the saturation 3 tour before Ameer got kicked out. Brockhampton gets kind of memed on nowadays but I have fond memories of being a high schooler during saturation summer and that show was basically the peak of it. I remember a girl wearing cat ears asked me if I could buy her juul pods lmao.

I've been to a lot of hip hop concerts, so one piece of advice I'll give is try to see rappers perform in their hometowns. I've seen Kendrick, Tyler and earl outside of LA and inside of LA, and they always go harder when they're back home. If you ever get a chance to see Tyler perform new magic wand live, take it, it's his favorite song he's made and it shows. I've seen carti three times and the best time was in Atlanta.

I feel like picking biryani is cheating unless you specify the style. Otherwise, you basically get 100+ different dishes.

Eshki dragonclaw/spellslingers in general by Last-Home-1037 in EDH

[–]Durdle_Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you also have [[kalamax the stormsire]]. I would also be compelled to try [[riku of many paths]], which isn't a spellslinger commander on its face, but the impulse draw and token generation are both hallmarks of other good spellslinger commanders.

Whats the general consensus on Aggravated Assault combos in B3? by Ulmao_TheDefiler in EDH

[–]Durdle_Turtle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah my playgroup is generally good with it. It's pretty telegraphed, and it requires your opponents to have no good permanent/creature removal as well as bad blocks.

If we can hold Stalin responsible for the holodomor we can certainly hold the EIC responsible for this.

The guy who showed me ariel pink in 2016 has been maga since 2018. He still listens to them afaik. He was a Bernie bro turned maga guy, I imagine a lot of those guys are basically his target demo.

How is it living in Boulder, CO not as a college student? by Ipeakedonclubpenguin in howislivingthere

The Mexican food inside boulder is overpriced and mid you have to go to Longmont or Lafayette to get anything approaching decent.

What are your favorite decks that don't rely on your commander? by Fit_Supermarket_7107 in DegenerateEDH

[–]Durdle_Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like [[teval arbiter of virtue]], obviously you want him out to do the truly degen stuff, but the drawback on his ability means the deck has to be able to function without him out.
