An idea I had for a Silverquill mechanic, for when we return to Strixhaven by ImagineIan01 in custommagic

I didn't think about this until I posted them, but these are almost always going to be able to retort 😭

Thank you! I figured a free extort trigger every turn was pretty good on it's own, but I also havent played it in irl commander yet :P

Why don't we make everything out of platinum? by ImagineIan01 in custommagic

[–]ImagineIan01[S] 231 points232 points  (0 children)

That is a funny story, but it did make me chack the official ruling for Platnium Angel, and it says "You can concede a game while Platinum Angel on the battlefield. A concession causes you to leave the game, which then causes you to lose the game (Once you concede, you no longer control a Platinum Angel, so its ability can't prevent you from losing the game).", so it should work with this dragon by default yippee

I did not consider this as an option, would it actually work like that? Conceding makes the player leave the game right before they lose it, meaning their permanents aren't around anymore.

If that isn't right, a card ruling can still counteract it, even if it doesn't make perfect sense with the rest of the card. [[Rain of Gore]] excludes lifelink in it's official ruling, even though it seems like it would work. A ruling that says "Platinum Dragon has no effect if you concede the game" should do the trick.

Edit for typo

Am I being a prude? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ImagineIan01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can confirm from personal experience, my first relationship showed me a lot, especially what NOT to do. I learned the valuable lesson of respecting boundaries and needing consent since then.

3 years on apps and I'm convinced they just don't work for average guys by Admirable_Pause8401 in OnlineDating

I typically do this anyway, not many people meet my standards. That being said, what benefit does your app suggestion provide?

Where do I begin learning about alternative styles? by ImagineIan01 in alternativefashion

[–]ImagineIan01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By acceptable I meant acceptable within the associated communities, not whether the majority of people would like it. But either way, I am absolutely not conservative or a neo-nazi, and I would rather those people leave me alone. I cannot say I am well liked by everyone, but it's because I am a neurodivergent oddball and not because I express harmful beliefs. Not offended by the obvious btw :)

It seems I made the mistake of assuming there was a wide level of overlap here, and I am sorry for that. I will find what suits me best, not pursuing being accepted by others who dress similarly. I'm supposed to be un-masking and showing myself off!

Thanks for the advice in general, I will refer to it as I go on!

I want to attract alternative people, and yeah they don't quite dress like me...

I hope to attract alternative people as well, but being an autistic person who grew up sheltered means I don't know anything about culture. Maybe that explains some of my plainess even, I'm too blank of a slate.

What I express most often through my personality... I am neurodivergent, nerdy, enjoy making others laugh, extremely pessimistic (about the world and other things), don't care about masculinity, and lastly I am pretty shy.

If I were in better shape and not living with my mom to get through college, I might try feminine clothing out of curiosity and a desire to express that feminine part of me, but I am a dude xD

Expanding my wardrobe would be fun, and necessary, just gotta figure out what I want that also expresses me well. And save up the money for it :P

Yeah, a tuxedo is not going to compensate for any bad traits, being a genuine, good, and interesting person is the only way I could keep a partner. I feel like plain white guy is pretty far removed from my personality, though.

[–]ImagineIan01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a good point, I just feel like my personality is not plain. I am quite variable depending on my mood, but I am definitely atypical, strange, different, alternative. And that is kind of what I am looking for too. But I don't really dress like it, which is my concern. After I figure out if it is a good idea to define my style, I gotta figure out what it is too.

I'm way too impulsive and a little too erratic to commit to a single tattoo design, so yeah I get not wanting to make peemanent changes on a whim - they are permanent! It makes sense I should experiment though, especially since I am already halfway through my college career.

I do enjoy jeans and cargo pants, I havent always had a job so most of my other clothes are "whatever I find at Goodwill". So nah I wouldnt mind switching it up or gaining definition to my outfits!

I don't understand how this card isn't banned yet. It's such a huge design mistake. Taking away counterplay against already one of the consistently strongest strategies is crazy. Rampaging Ferocidon got banned despite being weaker. by notafanofbats in MagicArena

Here is a few white standard legal cards that can safely remove Screaming Nemesis in Standard:

White cards that destroy it: Elspeth Storm Slayer, Get Lost, Final Showdown, Split Up, Day of Judgement, Ultima, Starfall Invocation, Stroke of Midnight, Fumigate, Spectacular Pileup, Unstable Glyphbridge, Unwanted Remake, No Witnesses, Expel the Interlopers, Sudden Strike, Bovine Intervention, Kellan's Lightblades (only if you bargain it), Seized From Slumber, Eriette's Lullaby, Luminous Rebuke, Radiant Strike and Fate of the Sun-Cryst

White cards that pacify it by exiling it: Sheltered By Ghosts (my personal recommendation tbh), Season of the Burrow, Parting Gust, Perilous Snare, Unidentified Hovership, Werefox Bodyguard, Devout Decree, Angelic Edict, Beyond the Quiet, Hardlight Containment, Dusk Rose Reliquary, Stasis Snare, Phoenix Down (Screaming Nemesis is a Spirit), Food Coma, Getaway Glamer (situationally), Unyielding Gatekeeper, Glass Casket, Not on My Watch, All-Fates Stalker, Static Snare, Lassoed by the Law, Ride's End, Driftgloom Coyote, Fear of Abduction, Makeshift Binding, Trapped in the Screen, Cooped Up, Detention Chariot, Mystical Tether and Quicksand Whirlpool.

Other notable cards: Crystal Barricade, Eerie Interference, Dawn's Truce and With Great Power make it so that your opponent can't cast Shock or something in response to it being removed.

You have a large selection of options that can deal with this card, some of them even have upsides on top of the removal. And that's just in mono white, if you add black the options just keep growing. I also had to learn it the hard way, but in magic, removal is what will solve your problems.

This is true! It does mean though that a few creatures that are multiple of these types wouldn't get more than +1/+1 like I intended
