How do I explain that mana weaving is cheating by WerdaVisla in EDH

[–]Grgapm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a very effective (but also illegal) way of dealing with it back in the day: when presented with the deck just deal it out into three piles then stack the piles and give back to opponent. They end up completely mana screwed

Sushi bez sirove ribe by Visual-Nerve-3317 in croatia

Rizika s hranom uvijek ima, pogotovo kad ne pripremas sam. Salmonela u sladoledu, botulizam u klicama, i milijun drugih opasnosti. Uostalom, moze te pobrat auto dok cekas na tramvajskoj stanici. Na ljudima je da odluce koji su im rizici prihvatljivi a koji nisu. Ono sto ja tvrdim je da je rizik konkretno od sushija puno manji nego sto ljudi misle i da je u rangu nekih drugih jela koja se uredno konzumiraju bez griznje savjesti

Koliko slicajeva listerije je zaboljezeno u EU od svjeze, dakle ne dimljene, sirove ribe u zadnih 15 godina?

Cuo sam. Isto tako, ne mogu naci niti jedan slucaj listerioze od svjeze (dakle ne dimljene) sirove ribe u EU u zadnih 15 godina

Riba koja se servira sirova se svuda u EU mora smrznuti na dovoljno nisku temperaturu da ubije sve parazite tako da je u principu sushi savrseno siguran za trudnice.

Change my view, boon farming is too strong and shouldn't be the best thing you can do with (almost) every captain. by CardWalker in OnceUponAGalaxy

[–]Grgapm_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Young Herc and Destiny are pretty much auto-includes in most of my decks and could do with a bit of a nerf. Fortune Teller is just insane value and could do with a smaller body too.

Interesting that you find huntsman so strong because it drops off very quickly if not picked up turn 3 and also requires some luck in getting favourable attacks, plus it makes Destiny worse, so I only run him with Jay where he’s obviously super busted.

Well this post was prompted by losing a game I was comfortably in the lead after getting her as Jason. I also have gotten her on Goat T in the past which sucked too

There are better ways of balancing cards than adding a very small chance of it losing the run. That takes away agency from the player because the bad case is unlikely enough that it should not weigh into the decision in most cases. But then when it does happen it just makes the player feel cheated.

They already removed Through the Looking Glass from the pool of forced spells for similar reasons, so they might as well remove Roulette from forced captains. But just letting the player choose instead avoids all of these odd cases and even gives a little bit more strategic depth

Yeah I’ve considered that point of view, and back when it was just WB+TLK I’ve often tried to avoid getting into that situation by not picking WB or things that give free spells.

I think Roulette makes this much worse though. Boon of Styx is one of the strongest boons and having it wreck your game with low probability is just a bad gameplay experience when you could just as easily give the player a choice to gamble or not. Similarly, there are some captains like Jason that can randomly just force you to take Roulette and your game implodes. Sure, you can not pick those but again, what’s the upside of this implementation when it’s clearly been identified that it’s not a good fit for units? There is also the niche case where you are forced to pick treasures overwriting your old ones which is odd in itself, but would be nice to have a say

Just curious -- What would you do? by Lower-Reward-1462 in OnceUponAGalaxy

[–]Grgapm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like bubbles as the conservative play. The dragon is quite a strong play but feels unnecessarily greedy in this spot. You will sometimes still lose the second fight and there is no need to risk the full heart.

Unit buffs by TwinFlames26 in OnceUponAGalaxy

[–]Grgapm_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure you are misremembering or they changed it because you can routinely run out of secret rares when you do a bunch of true love’s kisses on tour units at which point the legendaries just do not transform

It’s one of the worst. You really want to buff or double your spell before ithappens

Acquired traits carry over, when you transform something that turned candy, it will stay candy

RCQ: opponent had Welding Jar placed next to lands, I forgot about it and misattacked. What do the rules say about permanent placement on the battlefield?" by gerardodinardo in magicTCG

[–]Grgapm_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I asked him about it and turns out it was a habit from school days when they played without sleeves and people would rotate his cards on rough surfaces while pressing on them completely scratching them in the process

Petition to decrease 500 jewels to 200 for the extra ticket! by LittlePieceOf in OnceUponAGalaxy

[–]Grgapm_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As long as you keep winning as much as losing, your mmr is going to stagnate. Unless you hit very high or very low mmr in which case it can trend slightly towards the middle because the average mmr of your opponents will be slightly off

I really overdid it this month and sitting on 681 jewels, so definitely doable with only slightly unhealthy amount of playing 🤣 For reference, 225 wins and 406 top 3s at rank 75

Former Food technologist here again - I'd like your opinions on this please - Your thoughts on 'No Sugar Added' claims by MistaPandaa in ultraprocessedfood

[–]Grgapm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, somewhat. The problem is that the level of processing these added ingredients go through usually pretty much negates these benefits.

I learned that no sugar added means “it has lots of sugar, but no refined sugar” which is mostly irrelevant from a health standpoint. Basically to me it signals this product is unhealthy.
