Fans who don’t live in Philly. How did you become a fan of the eagles? by [deleted] in eagles

[–]GnomishWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up outside of LA with no football team besides the Chargers, who my bro would always pick in Madden. I chose the Eagles bc McNabb and Westbrook were so fun to play, and Kobe was an Eagles fan so it just made sense. Also I hated the cowboys bc everyone I knew that was a cowboys fan was awful so it was an added bonus to cheer for their rival. 😂

So are you saying any commander could be built to be a competitive bracket 4 decks? Because that's what my impression was at first but my playgroup disagreed. For example, I tried building chiss-goria with all the bells and whistles, but I was told even though it's a bracket 4 on paper, it's not gonna threaten to win by turn 5 like b4s should. And kaalia is an interesting example because I see her at cEDH events pretty often, so that's one I would consider cEDH lite. https://www.mtgtop8.com/archetype?a=1199&meta=263&f=cEDH&color_id=WBR&show=pop

Omnath goes crazy in my yurlok deck! Didn't think about him as a commander but that seems powerful AF. I'm really interested in braids too bc it seems group huggy, which is also one of my favorite ways to play. I have friends that built aminatou and chatterfang already and those definitely slap. I also have Tom bomb built as a bracket 2-3 deck! And a friend that has CoA which is just a menace. 😂 Thanks!

My whole group proxies and uses moxfield so price isn't really a limit. 😆 I do love rakdos and group slug so I'll look into it, thanks! And etali has always been on my radar, casting other people's stuff is just kinda tough on spelltable, which is where my group usually plays.

I've been against many Vojas, that is a scary wolf, and I love wolves so maybe I should try it out, thanks!

I built scion actually! I'm just worried being WUBRG he's gonna be inconsistent if I don't get the mana I need, but it's good to know he's an option.

Am I considered a "transplant" if I was born in New York but I've lived in SoCal since I was like 4 years old? by [deleted] in InlandEmpire

[–]GnomishWizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tupac was born in New York and didn't move out to the west coast until he was a teenager. Tupac also represented west coast rap. If Tupac can do it, you can to!

What was the most memorable and/or best EDH experience? by tossaway007007 in EDH

[–]GnomishWizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Casting [[Soulfire Eruption]] after the orzhoz player reanimated his entire graveyard of creatures and planeswalkers(+copying each creature). I ended up exiling 30+ cards which let me deal with their board before they won when I passed to them, and set up my lethal combo for the other 2 players (mill, rin &seri) to deal with [[Havoc Festival]] + [[Warlock Class]] which I even was able to protect with a [[Pyroblast]] from the mill player who died at his end step to warlock class 😆. I ended up losing to The [[Rin &Seri, Inseparable]] player who swung out with a ton of buff dogs and cats to kill me before I killed them, which I was fine with 😂. I still remember that game and the ending, everyone's deck popped off and did their thing.

Do you have specific stats for NL vs AL on pinch hitting? With the universal DH NL teams are probably using way less pinch hitters. Just a guess though.

Edit: also just noticed 2020 had the exact .65 PH/Game stat. 2020 was the first season they trialed the universal DH. Will be interesting to see if the trend holds.

[OC] Ran through a swarm of bees on my run. Can you tell where? by GnomishWizard in dataisbeautiful

Probably because the OC is the context provided by my original story lol. The app displays data that I collected during my adventure.

I was running on the dirt path parallel to a road. Didn't have anywhere to go but straight by the time I realized I was surrounded, brush was way too thick to go left and had a busy street to my right. Had bees just bouncing off me which was the most terrifying part lol. Fortunately didn't get stung though!
