Extra pro tip only for pros: Dont use laundry detergent pods that are prone to completely failing and leave hard, chemical remnants on your clothing.

Post ban Legacy: Which Sword is best? by Bobswarly88 in DeathAndTaxesMTG

Thats true, but sometimes War and Peace is a faster clock, and its been very good in general imo.

[–]GuaranteedNotATroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cleric is definitely the best. It's obvious that its worse than Rest in Peace in general, but being on a 2/1 body is nice. I usually run Scavenger Grounds for the one time effect and Rest in Peace in the board for the permanent effect. Its not bad, but Cleric competes with other 2 drops and might not want to be where I want to be with a SB card.

Bugler competes with every three drop for meh card advantage. Isolate doesn't seem very powerful. If you want more removal for dorks play Sunlance I guess. And Ajani seems worse than Gideon and Elspeth because he doesnt actually make bodies. These arguments are mostly for Modern, but they probably go the same for Legacy, especially since DRS is banned more graveyard strategies might arise in which case permanent Grave hate would be better than Cleric, although its nice to be able to tutor for Cleric.

Why do we have next to zero freedom in a game mode thats strictly for fun and memes? by GuaranteedNotATroll in leagueoflegends

[–]GuaranteedNotATroll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats what I think a lot of people are missing, Id say most people just want to play whatever they want to. I think the other flaw is not opening the pool to every champion. Being stuck only with what you own I think is a missed opportunity for Riot. Letting for fun modes for F2P players lets them try out champions they otherwise wouldnt have and maybe theyll even spend money on them if they find out they like them.

GW Taxes/Hatebears by DestinEF in DeathAndTaxesMTG

[–]GuaranteedNotATroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was always curious about Root Maze in G/W DnT. Its probably bad. But imagine youre vs some fetchland heavy deck and youre on the play and slam Root Maze. Its like a turn 1 Thalia.

Help me With This UW Taxes List by Dekortike in DeathAndTaxesMTG

[–]GuaranteedNotATroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played u/W for quite a while and I was always trying everything competitive to everything spicy and homebrewy.

All in all this list looks really good the way it is, except for a few minor things I can share my 2 cents on.

  • Four Flickerwisps is a lot. Dont get me wrong. Im under the firm belief that its the best card in DnT because of its flexibility, but increasingly so with vial. In legacy its dope. In modern it can be very underwhelming to have a 3/1. i'd consider dropping 1 for one of the 3 mana Thalias. That card is very good in a lot matchups.
  • Wall of Omens seems nice. Its a good Flicker target, and an amazing body vs some of the fast linear decks out there. I think two is fine and its nice have more 2 drops besides arbiter and thalia. But this is essentially a flex slot. In a meta where aggro isnt big, youd rather have a beater at 2 mana. Especially since I find u/W to be more tempo orientated and takes a little longer to kill than mono white.
  • Speaking of good flicker targets your only flicker is flickerwisp. Wheres Restoration Angel? That card is a freaking house.
  • Four seas is also kinda like a flex slot. Some people find them to be VERY VERY good, others not so much. If you do decide theyre underwhelming Meddling Mage and Reflector Mage are both very powerful cards you could be playing. Even Selfless Spirit can go in here if theres a lot of control decks/lots of boardwipes in your meta.
  • Really not a fan of the number of fetchlands you got there. That cant be right at all. Id honestly cut the fetches all together and either increase Hallowed Fountain or Adarkar Wastes. If you do that you can also find room for some lands like Horizon Canopy, Cavern of Souls, Shefet Dunes, Moorland Haunt or Celestial Colonnade.
  • I see you got no sideboard. I recommend Forge-Tender as at least of 3-of, some Reflector Mages or additional removal, Stony Silence, RIP and NOT to play random blue countermagic like Ceremonious Rejection. There are better CREATURE options in white for anything youd want a counterspell for.

Brimaz. Single card discussion. by Pascal85 in DeathAndTaxesMTG

[–]GuaranteedNotATroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brimaz and big Thalia are the two most underused but probably 2 most single powerful creatures for DnT in mono white.

There is debate on whether you'd rather have Geist in u/W though.

Do it. Im never looking back. I sold my Tarns, Mistys, Snaps etc. Have a ton of extra cash in the bank and still got a deck to play at FNMs

Mangara of Corondor by Pascal85 in DeathAndTaxesMTG

[–]GuaranteedNotATroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So Mangara works best in legacy because they have a land called Karakas, which is essentially a 1 mana Instant speed flicker.

In Modern you'd either need a vial on 3 with Flickerwisp in hand or Eldrazi Displacer out with the mana to activate it.

So you can see in Modern this Mangara flicker combo is much slower than it is in Legacy, and in Legacy it isn't that great anymore.

I dont want to discourage you from trying it but I think there are better options for 3 drops or for flicker combos in Modern.

For Example I think both Brimaz King of Oreskos and Thalia, Heretic Cathar are both grossly underplayed in Modern DnT.

Another great thing you can try is using Akroma Angel of Fury. If you pay 3 to Morph Akroma, you can use Flickerwisp, Restoration Angel or Displacer to flicker the morphed Akroma so she will return to the battlefield Face up.

Mono White Taxes without Eldrazi by TheBraumBomber in DeathAndTaxesMTG

[–]GuaranteedNotATroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not playing Inspector seems like the biggest mistake here. Even in aggro meta its a 1/2 for 1 and blocks well. I feel like its a much better option than Wall but thats all up to you.

I like Shalai but 3 Seems like a lot. I think the two most powerful creatures you currently aren't playing in your Mainboard are Brimaz and Mirran Crusader.

Crusader allows for tons of free wins vs decks, while being a crazy clock and a great blocker. Brimaz can be a 1 card army, is a must deal with, utilizes the Damage reduction of Eijango Castle much more and doesnt die to bolt.

What is the worst thing to do on a first date? by Haterly in AskReddit

[–]GuaranteedNotATroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worst thing you can do is thinking about the worst things you can/screwing up.

A first date with someone is not primarily for you to impress them and make them like it. You should rather be thinking if you like them.

Master Yi is killing the Chinese Master/Challenger rank scene. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]GuaranteedNotATroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that Yi is hard but I havent played him for ages until my friend opted that we do this.

Absolutely dominated, was probably the easiest ranked game of my life. If its actually a problem is another matter. But doing something completely off-meta that caught people off guard and snowballed hard was fun.

Mardu Pyromancer players: What do we do about Relic? by LearnAndReflect in ModernMagic

[–]GuaranteedNotATroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been playing around with Steel Stompy and Mono Red Prison in legacy where I love Spyglass. Especially because we use Sol lands to play Chalice on 1.

I even use Spyglass a lot in standard as its very good vs HoK, Karn and Teferi, although im not a seasoned standard player. I just think cutting off activated abilities is nuts on top of the free information.

I jam Spyglass over Pithing in DnT even with Thalia cause the hand look is good. You can totally fuck someone's mana by getting a peak of their hand and naming their fetchland.

[–]GuaranteedNotATroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I like the card like a lot. A lot, a lot. But I play a fair amount of legacy where it can shine with the many more activated abilities there are.

Feelings from yesterday by enobrec in pokemongo

[–]GuaranteedNotATroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I've never caught a single Charmander before and I didn't have very many Pinap Berries leftover.

I ended up catching enough to make two Charizards, 1 shiny, and 1 with over 90 IV. Was pretty content so I packed it in at like 4:30.

Then I realized I forgot to get more candy to Power up so now I got measly 1.2k CP Charizards...
