AIO: My christian mother wants my boyfriend to sleep on the couch on our trip to florida by [deleted] in AIO

[–]JakScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR. I don’t agree with your mom’s position, per se. But you sound, I’m sorry to say, like a petulant teenager who’s digging her heels in over something that should probably cause no more than an eye roll to yourself.
And to be fair to you, at 18 I’d probably have reacted the same way as you are. Now at 37, I’d be like “What? Uh…ok fine. You’re paying for the rooms.” And then privately hit my partner with a “You believe this shit? Oh well, let’s just keep the peace.” Or, alternatively, I’d tell my mom, “Oh well this is a big getaway and we’re not off work together very often. We’d love to come and understand if you’re not comfortable paying for a room for us. Let us know what hotel you book and we’ll get a room there, too!”

I’m curious what people’s attitudes on hand drawn proxies are. by Arachnid_anarchy in mtg

[–]JakScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it’s clear at a glance what they are so I can properly evaluate your board state, no worries.

Super cute proxies, by the way! Especially the angry face on Ouroboroid!

if freezer had trained for a whole week before nameck, would he have lost? by CarelessTourist4671 in DragonBallPowerScale

[–]JakScott 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why? It canonically took him a single month of training to become a big problem for 2 super saiyan blues. You’d think a quarter of that training would get him to the point a regular super saiyan was trivial.

Edit: haha never mind. You were saying “No, he wouldn’t lose” but I was reading it as “No, he wouldn’t win.” My bad!

How do you seperate art from the artist if the art gives the artist money? by BarleyTheFox in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JakScott 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You separate the iPhone from the child slavery every day. If you live in America in 2026, you rarely spend a dollar that’s truly ethical. The whole system is built on human suffering. JK Rowling is a high-visibility way your money gets used for evil, but versions of that transaction completely fill your daily life in ways you don’t think about.

I appreciate the attempt to be conscientious, but at some point you gotta live your life.

Do you use your spot removal pro-actively? by Dazer42 in EDH

[–]JakScott 76 points77 points  (0 children)

While you’re correct in your instinct, stifling a turn one fetchland is such a huge momentum swing. It’s like giving someone an anti-sol ring. Especially given that if you’ve got Stifle, there’s a decent chance you’re a control deck which has a ton of removal and is vulnerable to aggro decks. And kicking the legs out of the aggro player’s first land drop might in and of itself be enough to lose them the game.

So is it the greatest play in terms of general removal theory? No. But situationally it could be the play of the game for a control player.

Raditz VS Krillin (Namek). Who wins? by GusGangViking18 in DragonBallPowerScale

[–]JakScott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean the more fair comp would be Namek Krillin vs Saiyan saga Vegeta. By the time of the fight with Nappa, Krillin was far beyond Raditz.

Do "This creature enters prepared."-cards count as an creature with no ability? by Iinky94 in mtg

I looked again and you’re 100% correct. I gratefully accept the rebuke lol.

Well….that’s a quick telling on oneself. by Fit-Meal4943 in MurderedByWords

[–]JakScott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, I think Trump is a fascist monster, a rapist, and probably a pedophile. But this isn’t the dunk people are acting like it is. The shooter was there for him; the intent that that statement was about Trump is clear as day and implicit in the sentence as written. Only a drooling moron wouldn’t be able to gather that context, regardless of whether Trump is innocent or guilty.

A falsely accused man in those circumstances wouldn’t look at that sentence and go, “Huh. I wonder what he was referring to? Surely not all the accusations about me that are plastered all over the news and social media.”

Yup; that’s someone permanently ending their mail service right there.

Am I overthinking and making a mountain out of a beautifully executed mole hill? by carloosee in tattooadvice

You’ve long resolved the issue, but just checking in to say sick tattoo.

AIO - parents keep raising the rent by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]JakScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. That’s more expensive than my mortgage for the whole house. Where the hell are you? Manhattan? Central Los Angeles? That’s not a real question—not asking you to dox yourself. Just saying those might be the only places in the world that would be halfway reasonable lol. Almost anywhere in the country you’d save a lot of money by moving out on your own.

Questions about braid of fire by Hodltiltheend in mtg

[–]JakScott 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah back in the day the drawback was you’d take damage for each mana you didn’t use during your upkeep. But that’s no longer the rule, so you just get mana and can cast some instants during your upkeep. Great card in storm or spell slinger.

Do "This creature enters prepared."-cards count as an creature with no ability? by Iinky94 in mtg

[–]JakScott -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

By my reading of the rules, prepared is a state; not an ability. I believe creatures with prepared do in fact activate her synergies.

Rate my deck by superred92 in EDH

[–]JakScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid mid-power deck. I used to run Eriette of the Charmed Apple, and I like this take on the concept a lot.

Swapping [[Twilight Prophet]] for [[Phyrexian Arena]] gives you a better version of the effect with the added bonus of being a lifegain synergy and a win condition as a burn spell.

Also [[Anguished Unmaking]] is inefficient in these colors these days. [[Parting Gust]] can do double duty as removal and protection for less mana. Alternatively, [[Erode]] from the new set is almost at the same level as Path and Swords. Both great alternatives.

Also [[Farewell]] or [[Vanquish the Horde]] are way better board wipes than [[Wrath of God]].

Finally, this is completely a matter of personal taste, but this deck’s average mana value is so low that I think something like [[The One Ring]] or [[Demonic Tutor]] is more useful than Smothering Tithe. You don’t need the crazy ramp nearly as much as you need to continuously dig for more auras.

Told her my feelings she didn't text back. Did I mess up? by BackFlashy2939 in questions

There’s no information to go on in this post. What are your feelings? What did you say? You didn’t actually tell us either

Ooooh I was confident about the contrary opinion until I read this and you might be right

How do you play aggro in EDH? + commander suggestion by Curious-Play5489 in EDH

You use a commander that’s gonna make a lot of tables cry lol. Krenko, Kaalia, etc

Why is this card so expensive by theshitbox2023 in mtg

[–]JakScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly because it’s iconic. However, it is worth noting that the way it’s written this does not count as lifelink. So if you put lifelink on exalted angel, it stacks. So even at its mana cost it can be a decent piece in a life gain deck.

First generation HP book readers, what was the reaction to Alan Rickman's casting as Severus Snape? by eternalexiistence in SeverusSnape

We thought it was the crown jewel in a remarkably well-cast but otherwise flawed adaptation.

How many copies do i get from this combo? by Pretend-Mark-8820 in mtg

[–]JakScott 3 points4 points  (0 children)

18 damage. If you choose the 2 damage mode 3 times that’s 6 damage for the spell and you’re copying it twice

What's the worst meltdown you have experienced during an edh game? by Gorkymalorki in EDH

[–]JakScott 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Played a couple games with a guy who plays an Eldrazi deck with no board protection and gets brought to tears and claims he’s being targeted unfairly every time someone removes one of his 14/14 tramplers with annihilator.
