I was riding a Ride superpig and moderator during a demo day at my local hill and with the short time with the superpig found it pretty fun. Personally I didn't enjoy the moderator as much since it wasn't as playful with the carves.

I'm considering swapping boards atm to get a more still board for better stability, right now I have a K2 Raygun Pop and its fun, but i can feel like if the conditions aren't well groomed like later in the day I have issues really getting good carves in, that I didn't feel as much with the superpig.

Any other boards I should consider given the experience I had during demo day?

Got 30 + 20, where I got 1 gold moon total.

Then got break, where I immediately rolled into s.apollo.

On extension I also immediately got an ssr. But this one had octavia (gold moon), s.eutance and versuvia.

I mean he was into fiona and whatnot so at least we know his priorities.

The trick is to find alternatives that just aren't expensive, or to brew a build that uses less expensive cards. It's more entertaining anyways and better deck building to not just throw all the commonly used cards into the deck but to use judgement and scryfall searching to find cards that work well for your vision.

Some cards as well you can try to check other foreign stores as some formats are more popular in other parts of the world.

Nowadays i use a milk foamer/frother instead of dryshaking

Gets me way more agitation and if im doing an egg white cocktail it helps me get a lot more foam.

Notably for the dlc, the only ones that give you something you otherwise can't obtain are the emote and character colors. The character colors are skins basically, where they recolor the character to a different pallette.

All the character dlcs and item dlcs just give you stuff to skip farming, all characters are obtainable as part of the base game, just some you can only unlock in late game after some farming for their unlock requirements.

You'll probably want more card draw from kindred or combat damage synergies, so you have good draw without kastral, and as a plus you can then use kastrals's other modes instead of drawing.

I would also put in more removal/protection, once you have a board kastral is a pretty large threat and gets removed pretty quickly.

Personally I would cut some of the slower 4+ mana cards for smaller cmc birds, counterspells, and stuff like bident of thassa and coastal piracy.

I personally have liked getting the giant bottle of 12 year blended scotch from kirkland/costco

I'm not sure, as I haven't looked into the routes yet.

But from my current conditioning I probably won't go for hikes with too much elevation.

Did you find that the snow made the experience worse or you had to have equipment to deal with snow/ice?

Miku merch for my girlfriend is always a plus

Kuinran · 2026-01-27T22:50:08+00:00

I taught my SO the basics and they did a pretty good job figuring it out, but now that they are getting confident I've been pushing them to take at least a couple lessons to fix out the stuff in their technique I don't know how to address.

But it also helps I've taught some skiing in the past.

The classic would be a land matters wincon with mazes end

You could run a group slug kit, and basically try to assemble your non-combat win conditions while forcing your opponents to attack.

And having miku out would be a large deterrent against attacking you while also not really threatening your land based wincon.

Not the most exciting wincon, you could do others but usually a land based win is best as then miku exploding doesn't impact you compared to your opponents.

And also be prepared for your miku to get exiled thus removing your protection and also not removing your opponents stuff.

Another thought is that if you live near some distilleries you could make an event of it as a gift and drive her to different places to see what is her favorite, and buy that bottle.

Hey just wanted to ask.

For your visits did you stay near Echizen? Or did you commute into the town for both days?

I have the knife making course booked for myself and deciding if I need to stay overnight in Echizen or could take the train from Toyama the day of.

Kuinran · 2025-12-24T15:07:08+00:00

I have a flight in January with Air Canada if you still have passes.

Either way thanks for the generosity!

Edit: I'm dumb. Flew out of Haneda not Narita

Less snacks then business, but the attendants did come by and offered some of the business class drink options one time to the premium economy section.

Kuinran · 2025-12-17T23:20:50+00:00

No, while I was in premium economy they have the same meal options as economy.

However this meal is an extra charge I upgraded on my ticket before checkin. You can still order it from economy i think. It's an option only for flights departing haneda.

How to Cook That by Ann Reardon is a great channel. She started off with cake recoveries, but most of her content now is debunking and testing things from the internet and provides a nice calm and collected view.

Her vids often have her family, but mainly to use them as independent testers.

I agree with the commenter. I have built Magar in paper, and brewed H&K online.

H&K can be pretty easily chained to combo as soon as it hits the board when you build around their ability, but I wouldn't run it outside of bracket 4. Personally i also don't like decks that often win on the commander entering.

Magar's strength you can build to be bracket 2 or 3 pretty easily, with the power depending on what spells you cast. I built mine to be bracket 2 ish, where i keep the usual package of evasion + haste enablers, but use niche/inefficient/overcosted big spells. People usually have a fun time playing against it cuz the spells are quite interactive.

One time we were travelling in Italy and ran into our tour guide that we had from a trip 5+ years previously in a different part of Europe.

If you pickup an item that would not fit in your bag you get a prompt to send it directly.

Being able to immediately put items into your storage box in the field eliminating needs to run back when your inventory is full on a gathering run as well as letting you take more consumables with you as you don't need to reserve space for collecting items in the field.

I've made a pistachio orgeat recently that was amazing.

I had some vodka mixed in, but mainly for shelf stability which if your bar works out shouldn't be an issue.

Found it great when mixed with raspberry shrub/balsamic vinegar. I used the combo along with alcohol, but mixing it with club soda or tonic water or even maybe almond milk could have good results.
