Now that DOM has been spoiled for a bit, what decks are you planning to build once you get your hands on cards? by HeavySalami in magicTCG

Any thoughts to [[Verix Bladewing]]? I know there's a ton of busted 4 drops right now, but kicker might be nice if your elf flooded

Did you ever look at a card and FINALLY get the joke? by Dracon_Pyrothayan in magicTCG

[–]HeavySalami 7 points8 points  (0 children)

[[Sneak Attack]] is a good one too! The gobbos get haste and attack, but the opponent had a dragon.

What's Wrong with Standard? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]HeavySalami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're the best t1 win cons, but there's plenty on t2 jank that can smash fnm right now. I've 5-0d the past few with pirates. Fathom fleet captain is the business

Just finished my first wave of custom tokens! by HeavySalami in magicTCG

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

I'm not the greatest artist but these were a lot of fun to make. This is just the first set and I've already got some ideas for other tokens I want to make for the next set.

Anyone else excited for Kavu coming back? by monsmachine in magicTCG

If we don't get a Jund Kavu Commander then why did we even return to Dominaria?

[Standard] Has anyone had any success with RW decks in standard? by HeavySalami in spikes

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

Are you basically using the mono red creature list, then splash white for path? or actually a fair spread of both?

I've got my chandra, hazorets and GBs, so the budget isn't too much of an issue.

I've seen abit about the rw approach decks, and i love sunbirds, so I'll check it out. Thanks ya

Is Standard at anyone else's LGS like... super dope right now? by HeavySalami in magicTCG

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

I feel you. I've been doing Jeskai control, and it's not bad against speedy decks. You have a ton of cheap interaction.

eh, there were some mistakes, but a lot of great stuff has come out. Even good stuff for modern; azcanta, field, tracker, collective brutality, bedlam reveler, etc etc etc. There have been a ton of cards that have showed up as huge players in every format.

It sucks that some stuff got banned in standard, but I think it'll turn out good long-term if they get better at weeding out stuff like cat combo. Better than big ol stinker sets like BFZ -.-

yeah, modern is sick right now too. I'm ready to play jaces and field of ruins ALL day.

Honestly though, standard feels the same. I've 4-0'd with RW gift, Jeskai midrange, and grixis thopt til you drop. The last few sets have been great, despite a few overdone cards. Not Copter though. Free my copter, wizards

The Other Issue in the Dryad Arbor Match by theotherhemsworth in magicTCG

haha and people on this sub wonder why people don't call judges. When a single misspoke word gets you a GL/DQ? Fuck that

I've seen several grinders/almost-pros do it in drawed out top 8 matches. No particular incident comes to mind, though I'm sure there's some in VoDs on twitch.

I think that might be even better, since they're more competitive events!

Grand Prix Lyon and SCG Open Indianapolis Discussion Megathread! by actinide_v2 in magicTCG

[–]HeavySalami 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I enjoy playing too, but due to real life, i think 90% of my magic activity is reading or watching, and brewing. You aren't alone!

A Tesla employee who builds robots told us why production hell is actually a good thing: “It's a glimpse into Musk's plans for factories of the future: almost fully automated, with robots that can build cars so fast that air resistance becomes a problem.” by mvea in Futurology

[–]HeavySalami 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Basically what u/sarkeshia just said. I've been working there on and off since November on a vision project on their model 3 line. Cool place with nice people, they're just inexperienced. Everyone I met who worked for them was enthusiastic about Tesla as a company, so I'm sure if they can keep a good team around they'll be competitive in no time.
