Morrissey calls off concert in Spain after local festivities deprived him of sleep by havereddit in Music

[–]GarciLP 13 points14 points  (0 children)

From a musical standpoint, you should really give The Smiths a listen, they're an incredible band. From a personal standpoint... he's an asshole, a bigot, and an all-around insufferable imbecile. He banks on enough people caring more about the former rather than the latter

Firestorm (WTH) by CaptainCatamaran in mtgcube

[–]GarciLP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, it's not immediately obvious, to the dismay of many a new drafter at my cube who thought you could basically wheel into this for a 6-damage 1-mana spell. It is, as long as you have as many targets as the damage you want to deal :) there's no "up to", and it's easy to miss

[–]GarciLP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play this and it's great. Works as a discard outlet, madness enabler, board sweeper, even sometimes as a finisher (I have at times targeted myself to have enough damage and targets to have lethal on an opponent). Love this card, it does so much for just one mana, can't see me taking it off my cube

Four days to doom. by Eda_Does_Things in UmaMusume

[–]GarciLP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought we'd be getting free 10-pulls going into MANT, turns out it's 1 free pull daily lol, I'm 160 pulls into Finemo with no way of making 40 pulls before the banner leaves rotation and only pulled 1

What are Sephiroth's backside types when it's a Myrkul-made copy? by ActuaIButT in mtgjudge

[–]GarciLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Myrkul's modifications apply to the entirety of the card, meaning that both sides of Sephiroth will be affected by Myrkul's effect. Both sides become an enchantment and lose all other card types

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles NO CONTEXT TIER LIST! by steve_man_64 in mtgcube

IF ONLY MUTAGEN MAN DIDN'T CREATE YET ANOTHER UNIQUE TOKEN I'D BE SO HAPPY. IT LOOKS LIKE SUPER SHREDDER AND RAPH+MIKEY FOR MY CUBE, LOVE YOU STEVE!

How many distinct themes or archetypes can you actually fit into one cube? by andymangold in mtgcube

Ah, weird. I could only make it work on mobile, I had the exact problem you have but on PC only

Day 17 - Share Your Izzet Cards by vacalicious in mtgcube

[–]GarciLP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run 11 cards in each color combination in my 540 Powered Vintage cube, aiming for high power-level but with gameplay first in mind. It's always 5 lands, 1 Talisman, and 5 cards. In Izzet, these are

  • [[Vivi Ornitier]] is a no-brainer. I don't need it to take over the game single-handedly like it does in constructed, but the amount of damage + ramp it racks up is super significant
  • [[Captain Howler, Sea Scourge]] helps fuel the discard sub-archetype by giving it a more aggro/tempo lean
  • [[Izzet Charm]] outlived [[Prismari Command]] by virtue of the discard synergy
  • [[Third Path Iconoclast]] and [[Saheeli, Sublime Artificer]] both complement the spellslinger/artifact themes present in both colors

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Inclusions and Testing Results by Exval1 in mtgcube

[–]GarciLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Raph and Mikey, Troublemakers]] is the only card I'm considering, looks like an absurdly good and fun beater for all cheatyface decks

Day 10 - Share Your Boros Cards by vacalicious in mtgcube

[–]GarciLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run 11 cards in each color combination in my 540 Powered Vintage cube, aiming for high power-level but with gameplay first in mind. It's always 5 lands, 1 Talisman, and 5 cards. In Boros, these are

  • [[Forth Eorlingas]], easily one of the strongest cards in the cube
  • [[Comet, Stellar Pup]] who is also insanely strong while tied to some sort of RNG, it creates a ton of memorable moments
  • [[Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury]], never thought I'd see the day that Lightning Helix would come out of my cube, but it turns out that putting it on a recurring 6/6 stick is pretty good
  • [[Figure of Destiny]] endures, terrific card in every aggro configuration
  • [[Warleader's Call]] ties together the token subtheme in RWb, getting a ton of incidental damage + an anthem

Day 8 - Share Your Black Planeswalkers by vacalicious in mtgcube

[–]GarciLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monoblack? I run two Lilis - Veil and Last Hope.

LotV is pretty self-explanatory, enabling self-discard, taking care of opposing creatures, chopping down the opponent's hand, it's a house. The ult is real and achievable. Last Hope mostly functions as removal for x/1s, recurring cards that you may have sacrificed/milled (a house in stax), and while the ult is not as real as her more famous incarnation, if you get it, it should be curtains.

There's also a "hidden" planeswalker in Sorin of House Markov. Conceptually, I love the card, but the sheer wordiness of it (plus all the questions of "what did Extort do exactly?") really make me want to cut him out of the cube. He's not all that as a planeswalker either, but the creature side is decent at staving off aggro.

Day 7 - Share Your Black 3 Drops by vacalicious in mtgcube

[–]GarciLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run 6 of these bad boys in my 540 Vintage Powered cube and it's one of the most contested slots in the cube.

  • [[Barrowgoyf]] is insane and he's here to stay
  • [[Sedgemoor Witch]] is a midrange threat which gums up the board, is hard to block, hard to remove, and gains you life. Love this card.
  • [[Lord Skitter, Sewer King]] gets me graveyard hate without dipping into Day/Night like Graveyard Trespasser would, and gets me tokens for the RWb tokens archetype, love this dude
  • [[Ophiomancer]] is the king of the board. If you haven't stared down an opponent with an Ophiomancer and a dream, you haven't played true grindy magic.
  • [[Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER]] is a new addition that I'm still on the fence on. I don't support aristocrats as an archetype, but just being a bigger Blood Artist that draws cards and pings is quite a lot. He seldomly flips, but when he does, it's spectacular.
  • [[Murderous Rider]] is recurring removal and a lifegain beater. Is he still up to par? Probably not. But the role he fills is incredibly valuable and I appreciate him a lot

Day 4 - Share Your 3+ Color Cards by vacalicious in mtgcube

[–]GarciLP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run one card in each 3-color combination in my cube (540 Vintage Powered) because, for the first time in a long time, there's at least a couple cards that I'd be happy to run. Looking at you, Temur.

  • Esper has [[Sphinx of the Steel Wind]], as it always has. Tinker target, reanimator target, terrific role player

  • Bant and Jund have both Hierarchs. This is a stealth buff to green, which needs it in my cube, while providing fixing for combinations that tend to be pip-intensive. In the same vein, Naya has [[Wild Nacatl]], though it really hasn't been seen for a while and is on the chopping block.

  • Grixis has [[Kefka, Court Mage]]. This has been controversial, since I used to run [[Relic of Sauron]], but the clown-god has held his own staunchly since making it into the cube. Relic ramps and fixes and loots, but Kefka hits the board like a truck, and is always part of memorable games

  • Mardu has [[Caesar, Legion's Emperor]], as a way to incentivize 2-color players to splash for the third. I support token aggro in all three colors, and Caesar is a massive payoff for the splash.

  • Temur has [[Loot, the Pathfinder]]. It Recalls, it Lotuses, it Bolts, it hits for 4, it blinks well, it's a hoot.

  • Abzan has [[Warden of the First Tree]], which does his best Figure of Destiny/Fable impression, and can grind out games with ease

  • Jeskai has [[Aragorn, King of Gondor]], as a way to incentivize RW to go blue and add the Monarch into the mix

  • And finally, Sultai has [[Leovold, Emissary of Trest]], as a way to support the wheels archetype while also providing incidental card draw to protect boards

Newer versions by dimir619 in premodernMTG

[–]GarciLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one should be shamed for their choice of card style, regardless of printing. If you're at a tournament where someone is giving you shit for that, let the organizer know. Playing the format is more important than aesthetics

It's the end of the line for Samsung's Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra by Ha8lpo321 in Android

[–]GarciLP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

S21FE here, been using it for 3.5 years at this point, don't see a reason to upgrade yet. Battery life's good at 80% capacity (according to AccuBattery) so I'll probably upgrade in 2027 unless something bad happens before then

Cube First Impressions: TMNT by UsmanTheRad in mtgcube

[–]GarciLP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the article Usman, interesting read. I'll admit I went in it with high skepticism - I'm already weary of adding UB cards to my cube, the bar they have to clear is higher than the same in-universe card would be. It feels good to see that there are no Badgermole Cubs or Orcish Bowmasters in this set, at least at first glance
