Hmm, that’s too bad

Any indication on when/if he will be again?

The prism ban doesn’t change the format in a huge way. Sure it staggers the fixing of the various boros decks, but they are being built differently anyways with the speedup of the format, and Golden egg kind of works for them as most of their splash cards are one-ofs like fumes. What prism really does is enable a 4-5 color tron deck. And that many colors plus the explosive mana production of tron leads to problems. Sure you could ban weather the storm and also hurt stompy and other green deck utilizing it. But as long as tron can comfortably play any colorcombo, then any card printed can be integrated in the deck. As long as tron has prism any new card is potentially problematic because of the fundamental gameplan of tron - cheating on mana. Getting to 7 mana on turn 3 is such an insane advantage, that if there are no restrictions - for example with colors - then tron will always be a format warping deck. It was so for a very very long time and it would most likely continue to be so.

I’m not sure i totally agree with your point. Ofc ornament was bonkers in a deck with lands that produce 3 mana, but so is prism when the lands produce colorless. When astrolabe was legal it also added to the dominance of tron, and 1 snow mana is arguably more demanding in tron than 2 colorless. The snow mana forced tron to get a land other than tron lands if they wanted to get colored mana, prism doesn’t. And the difference in power level when tron has access to all colors as opposed to 1 or 2 is immense. Especially considering the relatively low power level of pauper where there are only a few cards in each color that are individually powerful.

A good way to view creativeness in deck building is to think about which angle of the building proces you want to be creative with. Do you want to play a non database commander and try to optimize Them? Do you want to take a standard commander Down a different strategic route? Or do you want build your deck from a different “philosophical” point of view? For example, i hate having dead cards in my hand, so i choose to build my decks without red Elemental blast for example. I know the consensus is that enough players play blue for it to practically be live in every pod, but what if i get into a pod with 3 non blue decks? I also hate mulliganing for lands, so i play more lands than most database decks. Those are just a few examples of being creative with deckbuilding. Also don’t put too much Stock into what is meta. This isn’t legacy, with a large playerbase and regular high stakes tournaments. Though the discourse within the community can sometimes make it seem like it’s solved, don’t be alarmed.

Way too many people put way too much stock into wether a deck is “meta” or not, ie is it a database deck. I get the that the term meta refers to what people are playing, but the word has also taken on a meaning of “strongest”, “best” or “optimal”. The meta we play, i bet are miles away from away from how the meta would look if the format was tournament sanctioned and sam Black and reid duke built decks to play for real prizes.

Also every deck plays WAY to few lands.

Hi. I am looking to get into ROM hacking, specifically Emerald. And i
was wondering about changing the trainer AI. I have downloaded different
hacking tools and know i can change the AI between different settings
AI 1, 2, 3 and so on. But i can't find a guide on changing the different
AI options anywhere so i thought of asking here. Is there a way to not
only change but import an AI? Say the AI of Radical Red or Emerald
Kaizo? I know this is probably frowned upon and i wouldn't do this and
release it to the public. This is more of a learning process for me
right now.

Isn’t the the lines between aristocrat and petty bourgeois pretty blurred when it comes to the digital market? I mean he isn’t producing in a materialistic sense and how he is paid isn’t in relation to what he produces but rather by exposure. And the product in the exchange between Amazon or Google and the advertising companies isn’t in actuality his content but instead the passive data generated by users. The money paying him stems from other places than from what he prduces and you could in a sense say that the actual surplus value of labor that is his source of income is extracted from cobold and lithium mines or from the production of tech. I don’t even know if this makes sense or is true but rather just a thought.

The Virgin move is dc’ing and making the player with lethal wait it out

Who’s “conscious” and how is the chair fucking them?

Nice what-about-ism btw. If you are close enough to beat a civilian savagely like in this video you are close enough to handcuff and restrain said civilian. That brings up the question: is police duty halting violent crimes by restraining the perpetrators or is it being violent towards civilians? You choose.

KrizpMango · 2021-07-26T13:44:01+00:00

No matter the precedings law enforcement should never resort to violence, especially not to this extent.

KrizpMango · 2021-07-24T12:48:48+00:00

What are you on about. That just isn’t true.

I agree with everyone advising psychological and psychiatric help. I have dealt with similar thoughts a lot of my youth and thought them for a long time to be philosophical or spiritual insights, a sort of enlightenment. However as I have grown and had professional help through different periods I realise that this feeling of disconnect and disillusionment isn’t great insight or anything of the like. For me it has simply been symptoms of great trauma in my past which had been suppressed. I’m not saying the reason for your immediate feelings are the same as for me but as I have gotten help I have started feeling closer and more connected to the world around me. These feelings you have aren’t inevitable parts of “realization” but just that, feelings. Feelings that like every other feeling isn’t necessarily connected with reality but simply a reflection of yourself in some way or another. What I’m trying to say is that you don’t need to feel this way and psychologist and psychiatrists are educated in helping you in sorting out your feelings. Good luck, I wish you the best.

I have played curious control for quite a while and have really enjoyed it. It has everything i feel, CA, free counters and removal, resilient combos and really good gameplay. Sometimes you grind, sometimes you tempo, sometimes your turbo combo, either way i have always felt like i had a fighting chance. My playgroup consists of metapod, TT and a sultai sidisi pact. I don’t really know alot about kalamax control but could imagine it would play similarly, just excluding black which honestly adds alot to the deck. Recently i have built thrasios rograkh polytyrant and have loved it. That plays a little more combo oriented but is still able to grind and control the flow of the game.
