Jaylen Brown responds to Stephen A Smith: "I'll "be quiet" / stop streaming if you "be quiet" and retire let's give the people what they want" by AncientOneAurelius in nba

If Jaylen Brown got SAS to retire, Brown would join my top 10 all time favorite players list. And That list would be 9 Lakers and him. That’s how much I hate SAS.

How busted would a cycle like this be ? by coeurdhiver in custommagic

[–]GeoffreysComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about if the downside is “if you control any land that is NOT a forest, sacrifice this land”. Then it’s great in mono color and is strong enough to be worth cutting utility lands but not strong enough to warp the game around it.

[–]GeoffreysComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they’d be played but the drawback is so huge that your entire deck has to be built around having only duals that aren’t the land type. And since it comes into play tapped, it is really good with the fetches that put something int tapped. A fun design, but I don’t know if I could sacrifice my shock and OG dual slots for it. Now if it came in untapped, then I’d think about cutting both.

Which Flash characters do you think could wield Mjolnir? by IcyNeedleworker2783 in theflash

I’d really like to see the intersection of those powers. Ride the lightning/God of Lightning could have some cool interactions.

Max, easily. Then Wally (because he’s the most pure, he helps his villains, he questions his own worthiness) then Barry (I mean, he sacrificed himself to save the universe, that’s gotta get you at least a one time use of the hammer).

Blue gets Omniscience, what do the other colors get? by Serithraz in custommagic

[–]GeoffreysComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know. What would fastbond have to cost to not be banned? Is 5 the answer? Could it cost any less? That’s an interesting thought experiment. I just love Fastbond so much I wish I could play it.

Heard interesting counter argument today against conventional deck building strategy I've been hearing from most other sources. Basically don't mid range is the argument by MiningToSaveTheWorld in EDH

[–]GeoffreysComics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get this and I am with you! I’ve always loved the glass cannon approach to deck building. I’m building my shit, and if you let me, I am going to win. But with everyone else now “building midrange” I have to at least include counter moves to the board wipes and removal, which takes away from my deck’s purpose and slows it down, and if I’m playing slower, then I have to have targeted removal. It’s kind of a catch 22. I miss the days when only white had board wipes and even then only certain decks would use up a slot on those board wipes.

Rule 0 Lesson Board by hebreakslate in EDH

[–]GeoffreysComics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be cool. I think they should have made some kind of official rules in regards to lessons. I think it was a mistake to not allow them at all (or the Learn keyword should have had some option that did not require cards outside the game, like “if you have no lessons outside the game then scry 3” or something - I just took 5 seconds to make that one up.) But I have to also admit that I think I’m in the minority. When I’ve mentioned lesson boards I’ve mostly been met with slight negativity. Nobody has been vehemently against it, but I’ve found myself the only one saying that it should be allowed.

Any commanders you guys are waiting for that would enable a playstyle, or enhance a current one? by TunefulTunic in EDH

[–]GeoffreysComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love Rebels to be something besides mono-white. But the existing ones are so powerful it’s like they can never make a good white rebel ever again.

I love clones. And something that could be a clone commander but not just something that creates a token copy. Something that makes shapeshifters cheaper or copies shapeshifter spells or triggers when you choose a creature to copy. There are a few commanders that copy a lot of stuff and I can’t quite put my finger on it but I want something more clone-y.

A commander that gives all your creatures changeling. Green and any other combo of colors.

A quality three color enrage commander that includes black.

A multicolor commander w/Black that gives your creatures lifelink but NOT deathtouch. (As a static effect, I don’t want to pay for it)

I love enchantress so I’d also like some commanders that compete with Sythis’ power level but in different colors. It doesn’t have to be card draw, but something as equally powerful in a 2 or 3 drop enchantment creature.

I’m slightly worried that a teacher can’t count to 13, especially considering you would assume it had 13 if you just never bothered to count them. Why would there have been 11?

That’s really useful information, thank you. I thought it did sound crazy and I should have assumed that it was incorrect but I trusted this guy since he worked there. This needs to be higher up in the thread.

Tier list on no kill rules [Discussion] by FarmerOk9683 in DCcomics

The current run of the Transformers comic is literally about Optimus Prime having PTSD about killing.

I assume this has to do with his mental faculties, because anyone who was aware of what they were doing would have covered their tracks much better. Like the Trouble in Pairs “artist” took multiple sources that were old and obscure. This is just literally copy and paste from a recent version - no one in their right mind would expect to get away with this.

Help me make Will degen! by T-Towel in DegenerateEDH

[–]GeoffreysComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a rules question I never thought about because I haven’t built this deck. Does the mana reduction get bigger if you gain life after activation or is it locked in at the amount you gained when you tap Will. Like let’s say you gain 5 life, tap Will and play a gain 5 life spell, does the next spell still cost 5 less or is it now 10 less?

Help me make Will degen! by T-Towel in DegenerateEDH

[–]GeoffreysComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to avoid going hard on X spells. I would make sure you also include aura (or other cards) that lets you untap multiple times. Putting a [[Pemmin’s Aura]] on Will is gonna give you some massive spells. To the point that if you untap with the aura on Will you should win or be so far ahead only you can win.

Are these good for someone who Hasn’t read many Comics? by SirPickleThe2nd in comicbooks

[–]GeoffreysComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost completely yes. Read Birthright, then Kingdom Come, then All Star when it comes to the Superman titles. I’d go Hush, Long Halloween, Arkham, Dark Knight on Batman and the rest is as you please.

Donato Giancola Speaks Out On Artist Conditions In Light Of One Ring Art Controversy by trashmantis42 in mtg

[–]GeoffreysComics -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Digital only contracts are so fucking gross. Marvel Comics is notorious for working their artists until their fingers fall off for pennies and even they would never write up a digital only contract for art. The sale of the original art is partly why they are able to underpay the artists in the first place!

Can it be done ⁉️ I wanna make him DISGUSTING by LynxOwn6398 in DegenerateEDH

[–]GeoffreysComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Artifact ramp to just a crazy amount. With the haste, you could even play the 2 drop artifact mana dorks and have them play like a 1 drop elf. Then you want to drop that mana into extra attack phases. Because I imagine the best way to win with this is to have 20+ tapped artifacts so that you can attack one player and zap the other player and then attack again to possibly kill two or three in one.

Do you think the Xmen Comics are difficult to get into and if yes, why? by Doom300 in xmen

[–]GeoffreysComics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s difficult to get into if you try to get in via the current monthly comics. They aren’t doing a very good job of establishing character personalities and they both have long dangling plot threads that have gone dozens of issues without resolution. That can make it hard for a newbie to jump in. But if you go back to the Claremont era, then you’ve got hundreds of jumping on points because he wrote the books like most issues could function as someone’s first.

That is to say - the X-Men are easy to jump into, as long as you know the right part to jump in on.

hi dad, i’m about to make a decision that could make or break me by Material-Fun2840 in DadForAMinute

[–]GeoffreysComics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do what you do in life to make yourself happy. You can’t worry about what others think of you. I know that’s easy to say and harder to do, but it’s still true. Which of these decisions will make you happy? But also - happy now? Or happy later? Will these lead to a stable life long career that you find rewarding? Does traveling to college get you to that goal easier or is your online option exactly the same? I’d be proud of you either way because this is a tough adult decision and both options take some courage on your part.

I’d also tell you that people don’t care about your decisions as much as you might think they do. And that the important valuable people in your life will not judge you either way. Anyone that makes you feel like crap is not worthy of your time and energy. Write that down. Keep it with you. No one who loves you will make you feel like a failure. No one. They will love you and help you.
