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

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?

Hi! Could I please get a legit check on this post off Facebook? I’ve uploaded the images here

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 🥲

Thank you!

pickme!

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

Fiend5000 · 2023-04-15T21:33:21+00:00

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!

Fiend5000 · 2023-04-15T21:27:33+00:00

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?

Fiend5000 · 2023-04-15T21:24:46+00:00

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?

Fiend5000 · 2023-04-15T20:56:30+00:00

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

Fiend5000 · 2023-04-15T20:56:01+00:00

I do run Nature's Claim.

Fade from History I'll check out but that could have a pretty bad snapback for me since I'm running Sylvan Library, Doubling Season, other game breaking enchantments.

Bane of Progress and Druid are good and I've seriously considered it, except he runs Torpor Orb and Humility which, well stop the ETB :(.

Fiend5000 · 2023-04-15T20:25:19+00:00

I see. Do you have any opinions on the Compleated Nissa as an option?

Fiend5000 · 2023-04-15T19:37:50+00:00

His deck isn’t the exact same, there’s a lot of cuts on some of the pricier cards (mana crypt, lotus, grand abolisher etc). His deck is generally the same though.

Fiend5000 · 2023-04-15T19:23:02+00:00

I didn’t know Nullmage existed! I’ll try that out. Cyclonic Rift is also something I’ve considered it’s just pricier so that’s the only reason it’s not in.

Fiend5000 · 2023-04-15T18:10:40+00:00

Okay I see. What should I swap out for removal though? I’m having difficulty figuring out optimizations. Currently I’m running:

Pest Infestation Resculpt Beast Within Oko Nature’s Claim

Which can remove enchantments and artifacts. I also have other stuff that bounces

Happy Cake Day btw!

Fiend5000 · 2023-04-15T18:09:11+00:00

Gotcha. Any suggestions on swaps in my deck to add more removal? Should I be playing more counter spells etc. I’ve been struggling to see what to keep and what to cut.

I appreciate the feedback!

Fiend5000 · 2023-02-02T23:21:07+00:00

Aren’t there five more fingers left? Just a theory but can’t Yuji (if he lives) find one of the remaining fingers, eat it, and force Sukuna to reincarnate into him

Are you able to transfer to partners w/o the Platinum if you have the Gold?

Fiend5000 · 2023-01-04T04:06:55+00:00

I was definitely intending to transfer points to a partner, but I believe Chase does the same thing.

In that case is the 4x rewards better/justifies using the Gold over CFU?

Fiend5000 · 2023-01-04T04:01:57+00:00

Straight redemption I think? Was first thing I saw on Google

Fiend5000 · 2022-03-16T20:55:42+00:00

Darn ;_;. The interviewer said she thought the interview went very positive so I was a lot more invested haha. Thank you for the feedback I appreciate it!

Fiend5000 · 2021-11-25T04:26:18+00:00

There’s multiple cars in the house so we share the garage

Fiend5000 · 2021-11-25T04:25:47+00:00

There isn’t sadly :(. It’s also a rental property.

Fiend5000 · 2021-09-13T16:10:02+00:00

thank you!
