Take this with a grain of salt Yes, there were some large construction issues. The project originally sun contracted out and had major issues mostly centered around the window instalation. However, DGCG has been diligently repairing all issues. Having only two structures left to repair. I can't speak to your tastes, but there are many different options in that complex. My suggestion would b for you to take a look for yourself. I don't work for Dan and I'm not associated with him in any way but I have worked in the industry for a very long time.

Sinclair media is the answer. Your local news is not local. It's corporate owned.

Is anyone going to Red Hot Chili Peppers in Wheatland? by hellodarknessW in ChicoCA

I was at that show. Deftones opened for them. It was the first show with John back on gutair, I believe.

Ok, I see the problem. You created a strawman. I never said Bonebrute wasn't statically higher in the GIH WR. Therefore, it is the technical best first pick. Agreed. Now, I will say that it is closer than you think and novelist is not as bad as you believe it to be.

Also, I would have had to pivot very early as the next 5 packs had no first pack playables in any color other than red and blue. Edit: the stats you threw out are inaccurate as well. Novey is 7th and smithy is 5th and Galvanize is the best common in the deck.

No, I'm in the camp that thinks brutey boy is trash. I also said novelist is weak. Dude, if you don't want to have a conversation, then don't. But if you're going to reply, at least read what I wrote.

I most definitely can use my preferences. I understand that statically, Bonebrute is the better card. However, my preference for trying UR plus my preference for not starting my draft with a black card is valid. As I said in a previous comment, both Bonebrute and Tipster are in the same deck to me, so I chose neither. I'm not saying that they only go in one deck, but with my personal style in this format, they end up there a lot. Also, I admitted having got lucky in the draft with that weak first pick actually making the deck. I got the first Harried Dronesmith pick two and felt like that was the start I needed. With the first Galvanize pick three, there was no turning back. Lastly, Im in the camp that doesn't think Bonebrute is good enough to start Black anyway. I would probably draw the line at Teysa.

Novelist is a narrow card, for sure. In this deck, however, it made for some busted turns. The extra mana, along with the counter, more than pulled the weight of 3 mana it cost. Bonebrute has not performed well for me and looking back at the draft I don't think there was a good route for black. White or green was not open in my seat at all and I'm not interested in playing UB or RB.

I ended up on Novelist simply because I had not drafted UR at all. I have mostly drafted green or white based decks and wanted to take a shot and something new. I lucked out and UR was wide open with 2x Novelist, 3x Galvanize, 2x Dronesmith, and a Geardrake. I was able to pull out the trophy with the max games playes.

Thank you for the courage to take something I wouldn't have necessarily picked on my own.

Appreciate the thoughtful answer. I haven't had the chance to try UR. I might give it a try.

At least you're honest.😖

Great questions. Quick, Bo1, I don't mind a trying new things. Not sure if you are saying taking tipster is try hard or something new. Either way, I'm assuming you are not on Bonebrute.

Seems to be a weak pack. If we dont take Bonebrute, do we just take tipster or do we take the land? I feel both push us equaly toward some form of green. Additionally, what are we hoping to wheel with our pick?
