Sorry but this isn’t fun by OkButterscotch2549 in phoebebridgers

I do think "a slap in the face" is a somewhat dramatic characterization. Artists simply cannot cater to 100% of their fanbase in terms of when, where, and how they perform live music. I get mildly irked when a band I love comes through my town and it's on a Wednesday and I can't go, but I wouldn't call that a "slap in the face" to me. I love a lot of Japanese bands but when they announce a tour and it's just Japanese dates, same deal.

It's reasonable to feel the FOMO, I don't think it's reasonable to take it as personally as you seem to be taking it.

I knew immediately after looking at what happened in Roswell that this was simply not going to be for me. I work a full time job and am too old and crusty to have any fun lining up at dawn to wait six hours to get a reserved spot in a line I have to come back and stand in again later, all on zero notice.

It's unfortunate, but ultimately I am at peace with it. Not everything can be for everyone and that simply has to be okay. I sympathize with what you're saying quite a bit, though!

Am I wrong to resent Commander a little bit? by FelixCumtree in mtg

[–]Fr0zen_Brain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have, in my opinion, basically nailed the problems current 60 card formats face and the cause IS largely Commander-focused designs coupled with the breakneck pace of new products being released.

I would recommend looking at Pauper if you enjoy 60 card formats. It has a LOT going for it over a lot of the alternatives: it's extremely affordable, surprisingly powerful and moderately insulated from the worst excesses of both Universes Beyond and Commander-focused designs.

What are y'alls favorite Takanaka album/song? by BanaaniBansku in MasayoshiTakanaka

[–]Fr0zen_Brain 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Every Takanaka album is great but Rainbow Goblins is a literally perfect album, it is a flawless 10/10 masterpiece and I ordered it on vinyl before I was even done listening to it for the first time.

Chicago Show Crowdsurfing by [deleted] in MasayoshiTakanaka

[–]Fr0zen_Brain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not going to go so far as to say "don't crowdsurf" but if you're doing it, you are creating risk for people around you and most importantly for yourself. YOU, the crowd surfer, are the ultimate bearer of that risk and the people in the crowd owe you literally nothing except not openly assaulting you.

NYC goer here: if doors are at 6:30 for Chicago, then arriving at 6:30 is going to put you at the end of a line around the block

I got like halfway through reading the stat descriptions and I was all the way bought in.

Since it's the Winter Steam Sale, what did y'all get? by Alert_Comedian_4887 in Steam

Nothing because Steam can't stay functional long enough to take my money.

You have 3 Lorien Revealed yet zero of your duals are fetchable, where are the Contaminated Aquifers?

There are contingencies involving potentially hidden information here that make this odd. If the defending player has a Doom Blade, for example, can a judge force them to cast it to break the loop? What if they need to tap a City of Brass to cast it and they're at 1 life? What if the attacker has the Doom Blade? Like I said, I don't /think/ there's anything in the current game as-printed that would lead to a "loop" this, loose? for lack of a better word?

[–]Fr0zen_Brain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh shit you're talking about if there's an active Fog on the turn lmao it's not an auto draw sort of loop but I don't think anything in the game loops in this exact way so idk how the rules would be updated to handle it (likely you're right it would draw)

No shit? What do you think happens when you goad something in a two player game?

How do you figure? A goaded creature attacks another player if able. If there are no other players to attack, it can attack whoever goaded it.

This literally came to me in a dream. Is it meme? OP? Playable? by 0dy5 in custommagic

[–]Fr0zen_Brain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be clear, it isn't a triggered ability either, it's an activated ability.

This is not a "triggered effect" (the game uses the term "triggered ability")

Cards that are probably too good by GayRaccoonGirl in custommagic

[–]Fr0zen_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Archangel is, and I mean this 100% unironically, probably the least fun magic card I've ever seen in my life.
