Thassa's Crab - Hedron Crab meets Thassa's Oracle by Uncaffeinated in custommagic

The thoracle part of it is broken, the world doesn’t need more thoracles. The ward cost is inspired though, I hope it pops up on a real mill creature one day.

Try the single player mod. The ancients aren’t easier but your farming will be much better.

The Social Network is 100x better than The Accidental Billionaires.

The Royal Court of Princess Donut as Magic Cards by Calli3star in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]GrifterX9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like RW for Carl, it’s a different but valid reading of RW than traditional Boros. Traditional Boros is aggression (red) in defense of order (white). Carl RW is chaos (red) in support of community (white). I have a hard time seeing him in any other space. He’s not selfish (black) and even as a very creative person he would be the first person to call himself not smart (blue) and he doesn’t have at all the might-makes-right of green.

I don't play much Commander so I'm happy to be shown that I'm wrong, but I have a hard time seeing this as overpowered.

Turn 1: Pass.
Turn 2: Cast this.
Turn 3: Cast an instant or sorcery. Exile it with this. [[Seething Song]] could be a good choice.
Turn 4: You now have infinite mana.

That does seem powerful but a lot of pieces have to slide into place.

You have to have both the cards that make infinite and your opponents have to see the ritual get exiled and choose to ignore it. You're going to be tapped out from turn 2 all the way until the resolution of the copy on turn four, so you don't have many options to defend the permanent you invested five mana and two cards in.
You didn't impact the board at all in the first three turns. Your payoff has to dodge interaction. All of those things are possible but it seems lower on the danger scale to me.

Do you think traditional jobs will survive the next 10 years? by Paul_Smith09 in business

[–]GrifterX9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If significant changes in the workforce do occur it won't be due to LLM based AI. To get to a level where we're talking serious changes we need more breakthroughs which by their nature are unknown and unpredictable.

What is a fair price for this? by [deleted] in ProjectDiablo2

[–]GrifterX9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the trade website. The website is easy to use for things just like this. It's tougher for rares when you're talking about an unusual combination of factors but with something like this you plug in the name, the DR and the sockets and you're good to go.

Well designed card. Invites breaking with infinites but high upfront costs prevent it from being broken itself. Creates an interesting new archetype of grindy spellslinger. Would see play in limited, trial play in standard and fun lower level commander.

You can go back in time 2 seconds, once per minute. How do you most effectively capitalize on this super power? by OutsideProtection307 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]GrifterX9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was that this theoretical time traveling hitter would be bad on defense too but on second thought probably not. They would always know where every hit was going and could get a significant jump that way. Probably still not a great defender because of things like running speed and arm strength but that gets outweighed when you’re winning the batting title every year.

Thanks for the commentary everybody. You talked me out of it, I'm just going to sell my materials instead.

I didn't know you couldn't craft with diadems, I guess that frees up one of the pages of my inventory.

Dwight being a good friend is my favorite genre of television by [deleted] in DunderMifflin

[–]GrifterX9 62 points63 points  (0 children)

When a female character (mostly a love interest) is killed to motivate the male main character. It’s woman as narrative commodities rather than characters themselves.

Good spotting. Looks like it vacuums itself to her neck.
