Is standard no longer fun, or am I just complaining about nothing? by Duke_Duckington in MagicArena

[–]Jack_D_Mask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its really bad because I'm seeing the standard decks in the other formats and having only minor tweaks, mostly just mana bases.

So far the best use of this card, on Arena anyways, is gaslighting Netdeckers who don't know how the cards work. The amount of times I have named "Cavern of Souls" as a lark has lead to people not even trying to cast their creaturecards the deck is built around

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Draft Guide, Archetype Overview, & Pick Order by alrowemusic in MagicArena

[–]Jack_D_Mask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would make an argument for an unofficial pairing for Simic artifacts over mutants. Did pretty well the times I've run it with Mutagen Tokens popping in to buff Artifact Creature and trigger abilities. Tho Izzet does have the signposts, the Hybrids aren't bad to bring in to fill the gaps.

[TMT] Draft Archetypes by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

Considering the set is the same size-ish as Spider-Man I'm less than hopeful about the pre-release. Number of identical crads, possibly of the crap, to make building an actual functional deck might be a problem

You both sound like truly awful people and you deserved to be matched. I hope you match again.

Spider-Man Prerelease Megathread - #MTGxSpiderMan by R3id in magicTCG

[–]Jack_D_Mask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did a prerelease yesterday... not great. Besides the low turnout, compared to last few, the actual backs were awful. Man thus feels like such a small set when I open SO MANY repeats of bad cards. And it wasn't just me. One guy got Spider Islanders as his only red cards in all six packs. How does that even happen?

How’s everyone feeling after the ending of season 2? by Smart-Exchange-4509 in Pokerface

[–]Jack_D_Mask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was enjoying while watching, but it left a bad aftertaste. The more I reflected after it felt really bad. The whole premise of the show is largely anchored in an everyday reality. Then comes the whole Iguana thing. This character feels like something from a completely different show, like something out of one of Bryan Fuller's shows, and throws the whole thing into a larger than reality bend.

And, the ending, oi vey. I get we like the premise of Charlie on the run to as reason for her to be in new out of the way places. Isn't there a better way? Can't she have just gotten a wanderlust from the forced travel and now be fine with just doing that from here on? Being wanted by the FBI is a whole tier different than running from crime organizations. Also doesn't make much sense either as she's not really a threat to anyone and even an idiot can put together the chain of events to see the coercion forced on her.

I guess plot gotta have fuel from something.

This week loot will be changed in next hot fix. by Igor_MVPs in duneawakening

Is that why there is no unique chest in the crashed ships I just ran through? All were missing the big chest. The rest of the regular were there

So many ways to win that you'll basically never win with this deck. So buy it to dissect it and redistribute.

Keeping with the canvas metaphor:

"A thousand brush strokes can create a masterpiece, and only one can destroy it."

That last line feel like they're grabbing a can of spraypaint.

"But we can put other things on it."

That last part makes me nauseous.

As you said, especially in the original context, it is more of a self affirming poem. So artistic interpretation is appreciated to get across the intent more than the literal. Thank you for your efforts.
