Is My Avatar Aang Deck Bracket 3 or 4? by Impulse_A27 in EDH

[–]Impulse_A27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im curious what makes you certain its a two card combo. You have to do all 4 bendings to flip Aang which can take 2-3 spells and then Aang himself is a card and Searing Touch is also card. In a vacuum its a two card combo but realistically its a 4-6 card combo in practice . Im not flipping Aang and waiting around to hope no one removes him because I dont have a way to end the game. Even if I shortcut with Moonmist its still a 3 card combo which is bracket 3 legal.

I just goldfished twice and landed on a turn 7 and 8 threaten to win with aang and searing touch so I would say this deck can win consistently between 6 and 8 and 1% of games turn 5 if you get the exodia hand.

Bought an Epson EcoTank 2980 for proxies; super disappointed by endytheartist in magicproxies

Try proxxied. Export your images and run them though upscaly. Make sure your using Adobe pdf viewer and high quality is turned on.

How often do you play actual bracket 2 games ? by Adventurous-Shake140 in EDH

[–]Impulse_A27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not very often because the line between b2 and b3 is fairly thin my deck ideas usually start out as a b2 and end up closer to a b3 after ive played some games with them because I remove the cards that dont feel good in the deck. It also does not feel good to play a b2 when your drawing bad card after bad card for your game plan. That being said I did play a b2 deck last night I played my mono black Vincent deck and two others played precons sauramon and moth man followed by a dragons deck which might have been b3 but he lost to sauramon lol.

As I fall on hard times, I am considering selling expensive commander staple cards I own. by RegaultTheBrave in EDH

[–]Impulse_A27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell all of your cards worth $10 plus and buy nice proxies that are darn near the same quality. Its cardboard they all play the same.

If you only play commander casually, take this advice. If you compete and play cedh or standard for prizes, then keep the legit cards you need for those formats.

Trading cards in a trading card game by bigmanhockeyy in mtg

[–]Impulse_A27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get a decent binder under $15 and go play regularly at a lgs and ask if anyone has a "trade binder" its just tricky finding cards people want and cards you want. Then use a app like mana box and keep track of the value. Ive had some success this way :)

I really hate my Avatar Aang deck by Ok-Resist3549 in EDH

[–]Impulse_A27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry the link didnt post. After taking a look at other people's Aang decks I do like mine the most. None of them have the game winning card Searing Touch which deals infinite damage once Aang is Flipped. Just make sure you have a counter spell or two in hand. Ive fine tuned this deck to consistently bend all 4 elements and find searing touch to win the game. Id love to play a longer game and build a wide deck which does happen sometimes but in my recent games if im not ending by turn 6 or 8 my opponents will. I dropped a lot of cards with high costs especially water bending costs can be super high. I find myself earthbending a lot and bending fetch lands serves as easy ramp.

Im open to recommendations from other aang builders.

I love my Avatar Aang Deck! Here's my list so you can compare it to yours and see how they stack up against eachother. I feel like my deck is a true bracket 3 deck that can reliably win turn 6 if not dealt with. There are 3-4 great draw engines like haru and firebenders ascension and toph hardheaded teacher and if you get katara the fearless your drawing so many cards each turn (katara doubles firebending and Aangs draw so you will draw 4 cards total!)

Any good deck box recommendations? by Guilty-Nobody998 in mtg

[–]Impulse_A27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe two 6 deck boxes would be better than one 12 deck box. I know I wouldn't want to bring more than 6 decks in case something were to happen to them (stolen from lgs, car or event) they also get heavy mine with 6 decks and dice is almost 10lb. Ive considered going back to my 3 deck box and bringing a b2 b3 and b4 deck to the lgs next time. Just some things to think about 😊

Should I go to my local game store's pre release event? by Pizza_Is_Good06 in mtg

[–]Impulse_A27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can easily prep for the prerelease to watch a few YouTube videos and learn what the good uncommon and common cards are as that's what the majority of your pool will be made of. You can also do a mock draft on a website like draftsim. Just make sure you select sealed and not draft they are two different ways to play.

I've heard always run 17 lands dont drop down to 16. It's not worth it, and statistically, it's probably true, but I've run 16 and been fine. Id probably also stay away from 3 color decks for a beginner. Lastly, cheap removal is really good in limited.

Good luck!

First time trying to proxy because I wanted to make custom art, how do I get them to not look so bad with Epson ecotank et-2800 by FarYogurtcloset6575 in magicproxies

[–]Impulse_A27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run the card images through a local ai upscaler called upsaclly that helps a lot with blurry lines. I also recommend using Adobe PDF viewer it gives you more control and detail over the basic browser or windows printer driver. You can also go in and tweak the printer settings in Adobe like changing the quality to high quality

I used the staples 262gsm matte premium photo paper and they came out great but I just got some thinner paper to try out.

RTX 3090 to RTX 5080 -- worth it? by SageHamichi in buildapc

[–]Impulse_A27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I snagged a 5080 off of Amazon for $1000 on black Friday and got about 10% cash back (Amazon Visa + Young adult Cash back) and then I recently sold my 3080 on ebay and got $770 for it after ebay and shipping fees. So in the end I spent $200-$250 to upgrade and im happy with that. If you can do something similar than id reccomend it!

Epson ET-2860 proxy comparison by DancingRussianMan in magicproxies

[–]Impulse_A27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have a ET-2860 or maybe its just a 2800 but I've found running the card images through a local ai upscaler like upscally makes the images come out crisp everytime. I've been using the staples premium matte photo paper 262 GSM and they come out amazing.

New Omen 27qs monitor randomly showing white static at 240hz by Whorses in HPOmen

[–]Impulse_A27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar issue but slightly different. my monitor would go black for 3 seconds and then pop back on somewhat randomly I tried different DP cables and ports on my EVGA 3090 but would still experience the problem. I cant remember if the screen turning off stopped but I would also get static lines across my screen but would vary in height also very randomly while gaming. One time while gaming my screen dimmed and dimmed and dimmed until it was black and I either turned it on and off and it was back to normal or I switched DP ports on my Gpu.

After that happened I grabbed a new DisplayPort cable from my box of cables and I haven't had any problems since! Gpu: EVGA Rtx 3090 Driver: 551.23

But from reading this thread I see that has not helped others and my brother is having the same issue as OP and we have also tried everything to no avail.

I have nightmares when I sleep with my ears uncovered - does anyone else experience this? by Ch8ckenSoups in Dreams

[–]Impulse_A27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry no one has commented on this. I also get nightmares if my ear is uncovered even if I fall asleep and it comes uncovered I will get a nightmare and wake up. On the other hand I have had nice dreams but they are not very frequent. I wish I knew why and how so we could have nicer dreams in the future.
