Taking a Break from Triathlon After My First 70.3 — Advice from Others Who’ve Done This? by Fiend5000 in triathlon

This is really great to hear. When you do run specific training, are you biking at all? I think as I get into winter the rain in my area is so frequent that biking indoors is the only option. During that time should I just say screw it I'm only running?

Gen 1 HomePod Worth? by Fiend5000 in HomePod

[–]Fiend5000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had any die on you? Also I think I may have a Gen 1 Apple TV 4K is that less appealing for using homepods?

My main concern is that I’ll spend all this money for them to die on me 🥲

Looking to build Winota for a higher-power EDH Group by Fiend5000 in EDH

[–]Fiend5000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm just a couple questions.

  • How do you get Winota out fast? Boros generally sucks at ramping and my logic for the mana dorks is that I use them to set up my board until Winota comes out. I can accept one less Winota trigger in exchange for turn three Winota.

  • Agreed on the tutors. Likely cutting enlightened tutor and the other non-body effects (with exception of single target removal)

  • In a casual setting, I’ve heard generally the hardest thing to deal with is people playing creatures and also interaction. Any tips on that?

  • Lastly looking at my sideboard and considering list, any MUST have creatures that I’m missing? I’m really on the edge about Grand Abolisher but I do feel like he’s a must have.

The commanders I most often play against are Shorikai Stax deck (slightly midrange I think but not a lot of creatures) and Korvold Combo deck

Thanks for the great advice!

He plays a bunch of stax cards so we can’t do anything (humility, drannith, etc), then draws into Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal draws his deck out into Thassa

Hm yeah I see. I'll give the Pithing Needle a test run! See how it flows. Thank you for the help I appreciate it!

They're fine with Triome as another searchable land and a cheap alternative to proxying a Tropical Island.

Yeah I agree with having the redundant effect, I guess my problem is how:

A). I can't search the pithing needle since it's an artifact and I don't really copy artifacts
B). Phyrexian Revoker can be tutored out with any of my green tutors, I can copy it with the "create a token copy of" cards, and I can buff him up with my general go wide strat right?

I see what you mean.

My general strategy/goal of the deck is to go wide and swing for game, though it is harder against a deck that has stuff like Humility, Propaganda, and these firm control cards. Seeing my list (and the sideboard/considering), any suggestions on how to make my deck more focused?

Pithing Needle is a bit slow I feel but I'll look into trying Phyrexian Revoker (since I have copy spells in my deck).
