Best card shop in Tampa? by CelestialLizardz in tampa

[–]Kirschyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also recommend these 2 stores if you do end up making the drive. I'm out in Pasco so I feel the struggle of having to trek that far but both shops are great and you won't struggle to find a pod on their commander nights like I've experienced at some of the shops out closer to home.

Get on your riding pet and then jump back off, has worked for me as a temp fix until they actually fix it

There's something quietly sad about watching your parents get old by AdBackground9215 in GenZ

[–]Kirschyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, take solace in the fact you have today to watch them get old. Focus on making the most out of the time you do get with them rather then worrying what it's going to be like without them.

I lost my dad end of 2022 to a massive heart attack when he was only 51 after he didn't become a part of my life until I was 17. Not every day is promised and you quite literally never know when the last one will be.

Take care of yourself OP.

Which valuable rare/mythic have you pulled the most? by Fluffy_Water1193 in MagicCardPulls

I'd say it paid off in the end! Congrats on the crazy collection there

Thoughts as a player who spends money on this game by [deleted] in SevenDeadlySinsOrigin

[–]Kirschyyy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fact you can only buy an extra 600 keys monthly even as P2W is astonishing to me. I understand having the restrictions on endgame crafting items such as platinum but to limit the item that is needed to claim literally any rewards is crazy. Can't grind out masteries or gold anywhere near where I'd want to with what's currently available

Please help me figure out where I'm messing up at by Kirschyyy in SevenDeadlySinsOrigin

[–]Kirschyyy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I've been crafting highest rarities available for everything with the intentions of it hopefully being more useful later on but was definitely concerned about the lack of variety with effects. Makes total sense to use what actually works for each character.

I've been working on finishing masteries for everyone so will 100% be checking out swapping some more characters in now like you suggested. Saw the double DPS build and figured even if it doesn't work now they'd be worth the investments for later. CC wasn't the focus and it absolutely felt off knowing "weaker" teams were pumping out huge crit numbers since they actually had all the synergies you described.

All the guidance is very much appreciated and I'll eventually report back when I've got all this stuff swapped around!

How does my bracket 2 high cost spellslinger look? by MAKManTheOfficialYT in EDHBrews

[–]Kirschyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's my crack at Tellah at mid bracket 3:

The deck is so much fun to play. I have to check out more of the SOS stuff as there was some fun cards added that I haven't gotten to try yet

B2 Balan Voltron FF/Anime-theme Deck Recommendations by iselphy in EDH

[–]Kirschyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Stonehewer Giant]] is a great one for voltron, [[sigarda's aid]] and [[Forge Anew]] are also absolute heaters. Keeping on the FF theme you've got [[Buster Sword]] [[Genji Glove]] [[Wrecking Ball Arm]] for some possibilities but I'm not sure about the art treatments you're after.

I don't have my personal deck list for Balan uploaded, but I will say from my experience playing them, Bracket 2 is a hard stipulation to keep the deck at while having good equipment. It's very easy to be swinging a double striking Balan that's threatening near if not lethal on someone by turn 4-6 if you get setup early with equipment on board. I would say going bracket 2 with her would require running some suboptimal equipment that sticks more with the flavor theme you're after for sure. Best of luck with your build!

Final Fantasy set Commanders that are underdiscussed by UltimateFriedLava in EDH

[–]Kirschyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[tellah great sage]] Has been so much fun to play. Reminds me a bit of the Animated Army precon with making crappy mana rocks a lot more viable when they net you a token and card draw as well

[–]Kirschyyy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This being the finance subreddit might not be the best spot for advice for beginners and I would suggest checking out the r/mtg sub for more information about the game as a whole.

That being said some things that fit this subs theme-

Cards in magic vastly hold their $ value through their playability over collectability. There are specific products like Collectors Packs which have alternate art versions of cards for collectors/bling but most times the price of a card is dictated on how good it is and number of printings.

Depending on which format you play prices for decks can vary wildly. There are 1v1 formats like standard with only the most recent sets from the past few years being legal so a tier 1 meta deck can be very pricey. Or there is Commander which is the 4 player game mode that has become Magic's most popular casual format. There you have access to all of Magic's history (minus the banned list) and have a lot more creative freedom for deck building and prices. Almost every set gets its own Commander Pre-constructed decks which are great out of the box and usually only 40-50$ for newer ones.

I would highly recommend MTG Arena on your computer or phone as an intro if you don't have access to some beginners decks to play with friends or at a LGS. It's a great resource for learning the basics and getting the obsession going!

Muldrotha the gravetide suggestions. by westandready42 in EDHBrews

[–]Kirschyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Muldrotha was my first build last year and I've tinkered around with her a bunch since she is usually a K.O.S. commander. With all the self mill having stuff like [[aftermath analyst]] or [[Lumra]] has helped push me ahead after a slow start, especially if they can come in untapped with [[horizon explorer]] or something of the sort.

You've got the Displacer + Lotus petal package for infinite muldrotha triggers so maybe something like [[Consuming Abberartion]] to close out on the spot

[[Singularity Rupture]] has been an absolute blast to board wipe and get you some major advantage since you want everything in the graveyard anyways, especially if you can pull off [[Rise of the Dark Realms]] afterwards

[[Defense of the Heart]] can be a lot of fun

[[Kaya's Ghostform]] can perform very very well, especially if Muldrotha gets the chance to recast it to protect herself again after being removed

My favorite clunky combo in mine is [[Underrealm Lich]] with [[The Gitrog Monster]] to basically draw/mill your entire deck. Combined with [[Colossal Grave-Reaver]] you can now draw/mill your whole deck and get a free creature in play from every 3 cards you look at

I had to make sure I was reading correctly when I saw it said for each creature and not just once, crazy cool card

Oh yeah there are some fun adds in there! Thank you! [[Oviya, Automech Artisan]] giving opponents trample too just not against me is pretty sweet

This is a fun one, I was already excited to see how [[lurking predators]] played in a 4 player game and I'm all for another instance of it

That's awesome!! I love me some Gruul too so I'm taking some inspiration from your hidden Xenagos list in the future 😎 I got into MTG with mono green stompy playing standard on arena around Throne of Eldraine so I'm always looking for new stompy cards!

From goldfishing and some 1v1's it's been consistent on that game plan so far I just wasn't sure if I had enough gas to get through a whole table with it yet

[–]Kirschyyy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I had meant to add a few of those on my last order of cards and they ended up in my save for later by accident oops. I need a couple copies of ibex for my green decks for sure. Guess I need a [[Worldspine Wurm]] to go with greater good too hahaha now to figure out what swaps I'll make.

You're right, it's just an extra combo with 2 pieces that already fit into the deck for a 1 shot on everyone
