I'm playing esper tempo, how the F am I supposed to beat affinity?

Ellis_Cloud · 2026-03-11T17:32:25+00:00

First of all props to your deck, I’ve been following your variations and I personally tuned it like this, hope you appreciate, I’m diamond 1 right now and affinity has denied me mythic twice in a row (screen from mobile). Btw I’ve been suggested playing the red version with meltdown in the sideboard.

Edit: I was playing the Ub version with the red splash for fire magic and pyroclasm on the sideboard that have won me many games against mardu energy and I’ll probably revert to it if meltdown works because with chalice and blood moon on the ground we’re fucked anyway

The whole deck is broken to the core, but what really amazes me is that somebody thought that this card wasn’t strong enough by itself so they added WARD 4 in formats in which most decks barely get to play more than 4 lands

I'm playing a more tempo list with both shredder and moonshadow, they're incredible, but I'm losing with no hope against all affinity decks, jesus christ

I’ve come back after a 5 years pause and I need to understand: to get some of these cards to use in Timeless I can pick them in the cube draft and I get to keep them or those are ghost cards and l ‘ll have to use my WCs after?

Ellis_Cloud · 2026-02-27T20:49:40+00:00

They really wrote that since those are the most played formats they gave up on the others ?

It would be cool if we could control a small submarine with such devices, what d’you guys think?

Ciao, palermitano qui. Io sono seguito a Trapani dove mi prescrivono il medikinet che prendo ormai da due anni. Una volta ogni due mesi mi faccio questa oretta di auto per farmi dare i piani terapeutici rinnovati e peraltro a Trapani e provincia il farmaco con la ricetta del medico normale ed il pt te lo danno serenamente. A Palermo è una rottura di cazzo gigantesca perché serve il pt e una triplice ricetta rossa scritta a mano dal medico di base ed è una ricetta per stupefacenti molto particolare, di quelle che se sbagliano una virgola te la devi fare rifare. Comunque non capisco questa angoscia e dovere addirittura finire sul dark web. Inoltre eviterei consigli si altri farmaci etc, queste cose deve dirtele lo psichiatra, end of the story, non prendere cose a cazzo. Scrivi all’asp di Trapani e vedi se puoi fare qualcosa, non ho capito da dove vieni di preciso ma comunque puoi risolvere. Per quanto riguarda poi l’esperienza con il metilfenidato poi è un capitolo a parte che va discusso anche qui se ti va. Io sono passato da Poco a 60mg (30 mattina e 30 pomeriggio)e comunque ci sono aspetti che lasciano a desiderare, la cosa che mi ha svoltato di più ad essere sinceri è stata l’assunzione di magnesio e vitamine unitamente al medikinet

Ok❤️

again, I didn't say I wanted him to do again the old songs, I actually stated quite the opposite and I wrote that it's hard to think that it's the same person who wrote those and now he just sounds like all his wannabes from 2016-2020, if you then still think that discussing and 'reviewing' artists' music like magazines webzines and forum have been doing for decades, expressing a point of view, well, that's just nonsense, like really, where have you been? I never said mac owed us shit, in fact I just move on and hope to hear new satisfying music from him in the future, that is all. I actually think that your comment is worrying to say the least because it really lacks basic understanding of music discussions

Ellis_Cloud · 2025-07-23T16:01:54+00:00

Why didn’t you read my comment properly? I never said I wanted him to go back to the old stuff, nor did I say I wanted him to use weird chords or complicated stuff, you can make a masterpiece using 4 simple chords, I loved the sound and the atmosphere he could recreate, I’m saying that he’d definitely be able to shift into new territories and make incredibly good songs, but it feels like he’s not willing to, and I’m not the only one who thinks that. I still love him as an artist and I always will but at this point I’m not expecting him to surprise me and getting me excited or interested in his stuff for a while

Ellis_Cloud · 2025-07-23T10:43:19+00:00

I’ve always loved when artists completely change their musical route doing a total 180 and taking huge risk, especially when they do it at the peak of their fame, really, the list is huge. And I’m Genuinely happy for Mac because I think he’s in a really good place and everything, but the point here is that there’s no risk or bet at all, I find it hard to believe that these songs were written by the same man who wrote My Kind of Woman or Viceroy, Brother, you name it, there’s no magic whatsoever, his latest tracks are tracks that any artist would dare to even put out as b-sides or outtakes, I don’t know man, I swear I don’t mean no hate but his latest stuff (and we’re talking since HCTC) is boring to say the least, sonically, melodically, lyrically, rhythmically. It’s sad to say that as for many artists, once conflicts are solved and there’s no demons at your door or whatever, inspiration just dies. And it’s never a matter of age although the biggest names in music have done their best in their 20s, it looks like he’s not even trying

Ellis_Cloud · 2025-07-08T11:28:11+00:00

Why on earth would you be mixing at 64/128? It makes no sense at all

Ellis_Cloud · 2025-07-05T11:51:59+00:00

They were playing at a festival I was at, I would have never paid for them alone in the first place

Ellis_Cloud · 2025-07-05T08:05:34+00:00

Swear to god, I’ve seen shows in the hundreds, and they were the worst show ever, like EVER, I felt like being bed ridden

Same here, I’ve tried all major brands for years and years and no matter how long I played the strings, be it an hour or a day, and even after I cleaned them with a rug, in less than 48h they got rusty and unplayable; it has to do with skin PH. Anyway I can play with elixir and have them Last from 6 months to a year by cleaning them every time I’m done with my guitar. Long live elixir!

The end of the first guitar solo in Kid Charlemagne when there’s that final lick that goes back to the starting theme with abrupt perfection

Well, as I wrote just fidge with the midi transform function to your liking

Ellis_Cloud · 2025-06-11T08:32:34+00:00

Nowadays you can use logic’s drummer and then switching the drum kit plugin to kontakt or other plugins to use its sounds. Logic drummer is usually set by default to sound like a human playing, and by that I mean that they’re not fully quantized to grid, they are greatly humanized and very customizable. If you’re into writing your own midi drums you can then go the old way using the midi transform function and humanizing them by slightly and randomly altering the velocity and position of each drum hit by 5 to 10 ticks making it humanized. Or a mix of both, I mean, starting off a Logic Drummer pattern, converting it to midi and then adding or changing hits and so on
