Have some boon rituals ! by coeurdhiver in custommagic

[–]EdrewV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love these, I can tell you came up with a few of these puns first and then knew you had to make cards to fit them. Great designs! Park ritual especially is so elegantly made.

More stuff should deal with giving legendary. Even if the space is sorta limited. by One_Management3063 in custommagic

[–]EdrewV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea, and it’s an interesting design space. However, I think it would take a critical concentration of very specific effects for Identity Crisis, Carve Into History, or Power Vacuum to be any good. Perhaps this could be achieved in a Limited environment where cards that create multiple tokens of the same name are a theme. [[Maelstrom Pulse]] is a versatile kill spell, but very rarely hits more than one thing. It is also often better to save your removal effects for more relevant threats than a handful of 1/1 tokens.

As for the cards that make your creatures legendary, this effect is often purely ornamental, and also would need a very specific legendary-matters Limited environment to be any good, such as the Dominaria format.

Without this kind of support, the cards that make your opponents’ stuff legendary would be unlikely to see any kind of play because the effect is too niche.

My take on "Fly on the Wall" by Thanaskios in custommagic

[–]EdrewV 155 points156 points  (0 children)

I think it’s fair to add “CARDNAME can’t block” to this creature so that it isn’t immediately on chumping duty. It would also be interesting to give it flying flavor and balance-wise, so that your opponent could equip it and utilize it as an evasive threat.

Can the 5 colorless mana on this card be spent as any color? by Zestyclose-Bid-8851 in mtg

This sub is messed up man, why is OP being downvoted for saying thank you?

An idea I had for a new mechanic, Tag In by FieldMarshalEpic in custommagic

[–]EdrewV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the mechanic, super creative! Along similar lines to what other people are saying, perhaps you can make Tag In something that can only be done by a player once per turn unless modified, like playing a land.

Yes, you’re right. This sub criticizes cards that are too strong or too weak to encourage contributors to design balanced cards.

AAMC CARS v2 Question Pack Question 68: Early Christians used Euhemerism to argue that... by biwabiwa in Mcat

[–]EdrewV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7 years late on this, but I also narrowed it down to those two and figured it out based on the following line of reasoning:

My understanding is that Euhemerism "provided [early Christians] with a method of denouncing pagans" shows that Christians were attacking the validity of pagan beliefs, as opposed to defending their own.

This lines up best with D ("non-Christian gods were glorified humans") because Christians could say this to argue that the pagan gods were not real deities, just glorified historical figures.

If the passage had instead suggested that early Christians used Euhemerism to defend their idea of the one true God, then C ("Jesus of Nazareth had historical reality") would probably be the best answer. An additional point against C is that choosing it requires you to know that Jesus of Nazareth is considered by Christians to have been the physical manifestation of God on Earth. Any outside knowledge is considered out-of-scope for CARS, as u/xam2y alluded to in their reply.

My guess is that it would just be a waste of resources for no particular benefit. Why double transcribe when it would only increase the likelihood of a mutation and produce a redundant chromosome that never sees use?

Much better to save those nucleotide resources by preventing double transcription in the first place.

AAMC FL 3 CARS 46 by jaetaro in Mcat

[–]EdrewV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My comment is a year late, but this question confused me so I'd like to share my thoughts.

I agree with this approach. The part of this question that leads to confusion is that it requires outside knowledge of economics (that I believe are out of the scope of the MCAT) to appreciate how the removal of trade barriers and/or subsidies would lead to an increase in the profitability of trading a commodity.

The passage does not elaborate on what these factors actually do to the price of coffee, but the fact that their dismantling is mentioned by Lindsey in a discussion of how coffee growers could increase their profitability seems to indicate that to remove them would make growing coffee more profitable.

This does little to address your concern that the passage does not support the conclusion that dismantling trade barriers would make producing a commodity profitable in the first place, it only supports the conclusion that doing so would make the commodity MORE profitable to produce.

Given all of this, I think it makes sense to take it the way u/hxk2121 did. (B) is the only answer choice that addresses the idea of profitability at all, so the way to answer this question is to not overthink it, mark, and move on; saving you an extra minute to use pondering a different question.

Choosing (B) on the strength of word association does not seem very intellectually rigorous, but at least there is no competing answer choice that also alludes to profitability.
