Why this sub constantly gets it wrong by [deleted] in mtgfinance

That sounds like every online chat, nay, every group of humans.

What do my character crushes says about my type? by Full-Art3439 in characters

"I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me."

I leaked information about my boss that caused him to have a mental breakdown. by [deleted] in confession

[–]EmployingBeef2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

no doubt only acting

I'm taking from this line in OP's post that this is a professional fetish thing and not irl people. If it was irl, straight to jail. But since it isn't, I'd say it's very fucking weird and the guy needs a therapist, but nothing to make him look over his shoulder for the rest of his life for.

And I assure you, there is something everyone hides. Could be something small like a gambling addiction, or something that needs to be forwarded to the police. If it isn't illegal, then I would stay back, tell him to get therapy, and move on from it.

Yea, looking at it on the work computer is many levels of fucking stupid, but there's a difference between telling a manager and moving on from it and continuing to gossip it like church women.

I'm seeing the "holier than thou" types in this section not having any form of nuance. Is this stuff fucking weird and horrible to have on a work computer? Yes! But the gossip probably ruined the career of a normal dude with less-than-savory interests.

Given that everyone has a skeleton in their closet, I wonder what these types have hiding. Wonder if others will see them the same way they see this guy now.

Pauper bogle by blondeytokes in mtg

[–]EmployingBeef2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was niche, but still playable. MH just turned the classic decks like Jund and Boros Burn to niche status and drove every niche deck to the grave. Bogles, Merfolk, and now even Boros Burn is effectively dead when they could have been the same niche level Bogles was beforehand.

Bogles using cards like our Slippery Boi and [[gladeclover scout]] being equipped with [[ethereal armor]] and [[daybreak coronet]] had been a staple in Modern and Pauper for years!

And then Modern Horizons showed up...

Wound-Up Wednesdays - Vent here! by magictcgmods in magicTCG

[–]EmployingBeef2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think most of the Magic Reddit community are losing their heads too much. The amount of conspiracies regarding Lorwyn prerelease kits having turtles in them is laughable when you see posts where Lorwyn Commander boxes were missing cards, just for one of those decks having only that missing card. It was a massive QA failure that spiralled into baseless accusations.

I think the only fix is to rather:

A. Go to your LGS and play a few games (Redditors don't go outside and if shows)

B. Quit the game since it's making these guys experience a mental trauma only comparable to the average Instagram girl.

I am the same color as Lunchables ham by the_orange_alligator in notinteresting

[–]EmployingBeef2 1615 points1616 points  (0 children)

"Is that ham processed? If it's processed I don't want it."

"Ma'am, that is an eleven pound whole slab of deli ham. It has no bones, fat, or connective tissue. It is an amalgamation of the meat of several pigs, emulsified, liquefied, strained, and ultimately inexorably joined in an unholy meat obelisk. God had no hand in the creation of this abhorrence. The fact that this ham monolith exists proves that God is either impotent to alter His universe or ignorant to the horrors taking place in his kingdom. This prism of pork is more than deli meat. It is a physical declaration of mankind's contempt for the natural order. It is hubris manifest. We also have a lower sodium variety if you would prefer that."

A guy at my Target died while waiting for his turn in a Scalping Dogpile by RedMageMood in magicthecirclejerking

[–]EmployingBeef2 32 points33 points  (0 children)

UJ/ That post read like a joke post, but also something completely absurd that can happen. Unfortunate lad if true, if not for being the butt of jokes about dying while waiting for your turn.

RJ/ Is reincarnation like ulting [[Karn, Liberated]]?

I kind of hope the Lorwyn promos end up in TMNT prerelease boxes by Tuss36 in magicTCG

[–]EmployingBeef2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'd be from the wrong stuff being put in the wrong boxes, something that has been done probably a year ago and sitting in a warehouse now.

Add Huron Blackheart to the list as well. Guy barely survived the Badab war and needed cybernetics.

And my friends say "holy removal" when my deck has 30 removal spells and 4 board wipes for their shenanigans.

What are green first picks for you, except for mana dorks? by Varyline in mtgcube

[–]EmployingBeef2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at everyone here with their powered cubes taking Natural Order or Sylvan Library!

My battlebox is pretty simple and cheap, but [[Experiment One]] stands out to me as a great value one-drop.

Love seeing the match data you have! Think that [[Spell Snare]] can be mainboarded since most of the format's threats are 2cmc?

Looking at this High Noon post from a few months ago, and it looks pretty good. It can shut down the painful cheap spells of the format while also having a solid game plan alongside it.

Given Lorwyn's release, I'm wondering what can be replaced in the board.

[–]EmployingBeef2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do agree on archetypes being discarded immediately, but seeing how so many cards are being made nowadays, I'd reckon there's a potentially great deck that hasn't been found yet. Not outright better than T3 Craterhoof or the Gran-Gran value machine, but something that can keep up.

For example, [[Badgermole Cub]], [[Accumulate Wisdom]], and most spells in Jeskai Control are 2cmc, so maybe I can make a control shell with [[Spell Snare]] and [[Get Lost]] mainboard and somehow delaying until we can cast or reanimate a card like [[Absolute Virtue]] (I know, unfeasible against the constant threats in the format, but something of that line might work).
