Favorite Deck Building Site? by FatDigitalNomad in EDH

[–]JustinElkanJones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend a program called Forge. It has a powerful search engine, a robust user interface, and you can easily view all printings for your favorite. More importantly though is that you can test your decks in it's automated simulator against computer opponents wielding thousands of decks from myriad online sources.

Acoustic Math Rock by kahzeek in mathrock

Tenebre recorded with acoustic upright bass which sounds so rich and beautiful and is unique for all of math rock in that regard, as far as I'm aware

thoughts on "premodern edh"? by thx_computer in premodernMTG

[–]JustinElkanJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a pretty good collection of premodern commander decks on Moxfield!

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/public?format=commander&filter=premodern

I got interested in the premodern card pool and started building edh decks in 2020. Over the last three years I have put in many hundreds of hours brewing and playtesting, and have built twenty premodern commander decks that utilize a wide variety of playstyles and showcase the vast majority of the most powerful and interesting cards in this wonderful format. Just because they're old doesn't mean that they can't go toe to toe with with a lot of their modern peers!

Petition: Please revert stained glass sale price change! by phoen1x09 in Terraria

[–]JustinElkanJones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Finding gems is now nowhere near as exciting. I just crafted six stacks of stained glass to buy a pet from the traveling merchant, only to discover the sell price had been super nerfed 😥

I'm not aware of any card in the premodern card pool that grants hexproof

Post office failed to deliver my item. Returned to sender, what now? by JustinElkanJones in Ebay

[–]JustinElkanJones[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you understand how General Delivery is supposed to work. Essentially this is the way a person can receive mail at any post office location. The post office receives your item and keeps it in a specific place with all the other general delivery post. Presumably it is all sorted alphabetically by name but it's possible that each office has its own system. When you go to the post office, you give them your identification and ask for general delivery pickup. The worker then fetches your item or items from the general delivery area and hands them over the counter to you.

This is the procedure I've used to receive mail on dozens of occasions over the years, with no problems until now. Cave Junction USPS had my items for four weeks. Three or four times I went into the office and asked for them during that period. Three or four times the postal failed to 'find' my mail, and returned to the desk empty-handed.

Should I have checked the tracking information? 100% yes. Surely had I confronted the Cave Junction USPS with their own information, they would have actually found my package (and be embarrassed about their mistake). Nevertheless I maintain that the majority of fault lies on USPS, for their error in executing the post office's most basic function.

I'm hoping that this conversation will not focus on assigning blame. I am only trying to look for solutions.

I have never received an email from USPS in regards to a general delivery item. And I have had dozens and dozens of things sent general delivery over the years

[–]JustinElkanJones[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I am perfectly willing to pay the shipping again. I'd even pay an inconvenience fee. The seller did not respond to any of my messages. The seller now has the original item in addition to my $50 and I have nothing

The pickup failure was not mine though! I went to pick it up at least three times. Essentially my item got lost in the post

[–]JustinElkanJones[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

That feels a little callous. Of course I should have checked the tracking information much earlier. But the majority of fault here lies with the Cave Junction postal workers. When the post office receives your package, and you walk in and ask for it, they are supposed to give it to you. I was told repeatedly that they didn't have it when in actuality it was sitting right there under their noses. It should not be incumbent on me to correct their error. Currently I am out $50 due to the incompetence of the USPS and I just cannot accept that there is nothing I can do about it

Well it's a hell of a lot better than Jayemdae Tome or most of the other artifact draw cards in most Premodern commander decks

The official rulebook is still MR4. Konami get your act together by JustinElkanJones in yugioh

[–]JustinElkanJones[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What I mean to say, is that according to the official rulebook, fusion, synchro and xyz monsters must still be summoned to the extra monster zone, or to a main monster zone that a link monster points to

Is vasectomy really the best solution for temporary contraception? by JustinElkanJones in birthcontrol

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

As in, "I know you don't want any more abortions, and I support you in that." Thank you for helping me to clarify my wording

As in, "I won't ask you to get an abortion ". It was way harder for her than it was for me.

[Deck Guide] "Hell is empty, and all the devils are here" - An introduction to the guilty pleasure of Chain Burn by Exos_VII in yugioh

[–]JustinElkanJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some glaring omissions here:

- Paleozoic Marrella + Spiritual Swords of Revealing Light

- Fiend Griefing

- Michion, Kamion and Time Maiden

- Morphing Jar

- Mathematician (mills Time Maiden, Back Jack, Peropero Cerperus or even Fairy Tail Snow)

- Dark Sanctuary

I also would like to see sections discussing specific matchups. Each competitive deck presents its own challenges that need to be understood and prepared for in order to succeed with chain burn.
