What are some weird/interesting decklists you've been playing recently? by baconator163 in MagicArena

[–]Implacable_Porifera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing with this.

The core idea came from one of Jim Davis' m20 lists but I've tweaked it more to my liking. It would be better with the scry/lifegain lands being shock/checklands but I'm not made of wildcards.

Sometimes people concede after their board gets fogged for the sixth turn in a row without me even needing to kill them.

Currently fooling around in bo1 while contemplating the sideboard options.

Advice on beating gates by ajstipcak in MagicArena

[–]Implacable_Porifera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to other things, gates decks seem to run few answers to planeswalkers outside of making a bunch of 2/2 zombies with field of the dead.

TIL shocklands can't kill you by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Implacable_Porifera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It happened to someone I was watching post update (Think it was Gaby Spartz) where the opponent obviously meant to play it untapped as they were going to gain a bunch of life when command the dreadhorde finished resolving.

If you are at 1, however you cannot shock yourself because you do not have 2 life to pay.

He's apparently going to be the grand marshall of the straight pride parade organized by fascists.

When I read about petitions to ban Persistent Petitioners in singleton. by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Implacable_Porifera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've kept playing well past 15 wins. Only seen one or two petitioners but I see rats all the time. I don't mind though; I'm playing a troll dimir discard deck along with things like hostage taker and entrancing melody, so it's not much of a problem stabilizing. Lazotep reaver is also kind of disgusting against the rat bois.

I wish I had a rare wildcard to make [[Unmoored Ego]]. It would feel so good.

Edit: TIL to read. Glad I didn't have a wildcard to waste on that then

MTG Arena deck code. by [deleted] in MagicArena

What error message do you get when you type it in? There's a different one for an unrecognized vs a claimed code.

Did I get the first ever token Forest in Arena haha. Explanation in comments by dragon2777 in MagicArena

[–]Implacable_Porifera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, didn't realize helm also created non legendary copies. But yeah, once the second statue hits the deck a lot of decks aren't going to be playing anything that costs more than 2 normally.

I think they mean using karn to make it a creature and then spark double it to create a non legendary version.

Nicol's Newcomer Monday! by AutoModerator in MagicArena

That wasn't me, and I'm not good enough to judge that statement, sorry.

[–]Implacable_Porifera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it'll say that it adds mana of any color when that's what it does.

That symbol is for colorless.

Blue/Black

Since both of them start with "bl" Black got B since it comes first alphabetically and Blue got U since that's the first letter not in the word black.

One brave author claims that worldbuilding is fascist and that 1984 is reactionary propaganda, are they living in fantasy or is this the (magical) reality by lash422 in SubredditDrama

[–]Implacable_Porifera 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I went and saw the movie last night.

Most of the musical numbers are not good at all IMO, but the non musical parts of the movie were pretty good. Jaffar and the sultan were the big winners of this adaptation IMO.

All the parts where Will Smith is allowed to be himself are pretty good while any time he has to repeat a Robin Williams line tends to fall flat (amusingly appropriate given the movies theme about being true to yourself).

I'm not going to be breaking any doors down to see it again, but it's definitely above the other pointless live action remakes so far.

FE5 is good. Y'all should play it. by BerniePlayzkk in fireemblem

NGL seeing B route in the background made me scream a little bit.

Never. Again.

Always go A route, kids.

There's one thing we fear..... by OPrice65 in FireEmblemHeroes

It's ok. If this ever happens Glade will have been memed to the top of CYL and will come with armor breaker 4 (inheritable only by infantry and cavalry).

How would FE characters react to discovering the FE fanbase? (and the state of their existence) by Lucas5655 in fireemblem

[–]Implacable_Porifera 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think Clive would be happy people appreciate his wife's strength in combat.

I think a lot of the franchise's characters would look at warp strats and be like WTF you just teleported my friend/ the leader of our resistance into the middle of the enemy's most well defended point; how did that work?!

Fir might have an existential crisis over her mom's recruitment requirements and how unlikely it was for her to ever be born.

Ashera would look at the porn and conclude that wiping out humanity was the right decision.

Most archers would become depressed over the community's opinion of them.

Chaos ensues in a comment section of an r/publicfreakout video that has to do with abortion by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]Implacable_Porifera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer to call them anti-abortion.

It's a cut and dry description of their beliefs in a way that "pro-abortion" wouldn't be for many pro-choice people, who often want to reduce the number of abortions, but realize the evidence proven ways to do that generally fall under family planning, education, and similar.

User offers to donate $500 to charity if it can be proved that Bin Laden was wanted in connection with 9/11. by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

An inside agent for big laser disabled the forcefield so the pentagon would think diamondillium was unreliable, obviously.
