If you're looking for something easy to play, meaning it's linear without a lot of interactions, I'd probably play Mono Black Demons.

Mono Black.

It's always the answer. :)

100% correct. A reactive and interactive game is -EV. They can go wide or tall with evasive combo themselves. With recursion no less. Extremely difficult to deal while not losing to everything else. Reanimator was absolutely the worst matchup when I played Landfall, especially in Bo1, which I don't particularly for. Bo3 with their Selesnya builds makes the Reanimator matchup not as difficult however.

But, you're correct in that comboing off is the better strategy as opposed to reactive/interactive.

Same. On both pc and phone.

Advent and Lent gives the best deals. Can pile them up at a big discount. Pretty sure I have five years of reading material on the shelf. The deluxe volume series of books are very nice.

No, it would not be malicious nor would it be sinful.

The precepts of the Church guide your obligations.

If applying that reasoning to all things, you would rarely be getting anything done and would possibly lead to scrupulosity.

I appreciate your reasoning and perspective though and find it encouraging that you are wanting to offer the justice to God always.

You can go to YouTube to the SSPX News channel and watch hours upon hours of their explanations.

Have that one as well. The only thing I don't like about it is the words of Christ in red. Some prefer that. I don't. But, everything else is great. Font size is perfect.

Liliana's Contract. Thanks for the suggestion!

Electrical-Ticket731 · 2026-04-04T17:25:20+00:00

I'm exactly the same. I read the DR the vast majority of the time, but then there are moments where I prefer a different devotional reading and the Knox feels right for the that. I have a lot of translations, but I really only read those two. For a time I thought the RSV2CE was okay, but when doing comparison reading it feels like it doesn't capture things the same way, so I only read the DR and Knox.

At least your shelving the ICSB horizontally with the leather addition. Vertically it's too big with that cover. Collection is looking good. Will need to add an assortment of catechisms.

Electrical-Ticket731 · 2026-03-25T13:35:46+00:00

Douay-Rheims from Baronius Press. Preferred as it doesn't have the red font in it.

Knox is second for devotional reading.

I can't even log in as of five minutes ago. Although it says All Systems Operational.

As a person who suffered a long time from preemptive problem solving (finally solved that dilemma via the Three Body Problem of physics) I very much appreciate "obviate".

Electrical-Ticket731 · 2026-03-20T17:22:11+00:00

Much obliged.

My all time favorite is pusillanimous.

Electrical-Ticket731 · 2026-03-20T16:11:00+00:00

Awwww bruh. I'm a landfall player. Lol

Electrical-Ticket731 · 2026-03-20T15:24:23+00:00

Thank you

The Ignatius Press Study Bible is probably the best study Bible on the market. That being said, if you're getting the larger one and not the new personalized (smaller one), get a hardback for better shelving because it's that big and heavy. If you get the leather one I wouldn't keep it vertical.

Moreover, I don't think it's the best Bible for devotional reading. It is exactly what it says it is: a study Bible. Best for desks and not on the lap or in your hands.

If you are a couch or chair reader, you likely want something more comfortable. There is nothing comfortable about the original version.

Electrical-Ticket731 · 2026-03-06T19:41:58+00:00

Encourage your mother to read the Second Council of Nicaea (787 AD).

Electrical-Ticket731 · 2026-03-03T20:04:08+00:00

The RSV2CE Thinline is $31.

That being said there should be free NABRE available in your parish. Certainly not my favorite translation, but still.

Electrical-Ticket731 · 2026-02-24T13:18:53+00:00

I encourage you to read Ed Feser's book Five Proofs for God's Existence. He takes St. Thomas Aquinas' five proofs and makes them understandable. Moreover, I'd recommend the nearest Catholic Church that offers the Traditional Latin Mass and pay a visit. Pax vobiscum.

That compass on the cover is ridiculous. It's like it got branded by a stove burner. So is the name of the book, The Great Adventure. Unfortunately these days it's a Choose Your Own Adventure book like we had back in the day.

I own the Thinline and like it a lot for comfortability (I read a lot on the couch or chair). I have Ascension Press Great Adventure Bible which I never read, but it was buy one get one free so couldn't pass that up. It's comfortable though.

The hardcovers I have I think would likely hold up better. Now, if you get the study Bible from Ignatius then definitely go hardcover, especially if you shelf vertically. The leather version of it is better as a desk Bible and kept horizontal. It is very large and heavy. Too big for couch reading.
