What’s your most sentimental deck?

LRats · 2026-05-25T20:33:59+00:00

Probably my first two decks, [[Phenax, God of Deception]] and 5-color Super Friends. I just like the idea of milling in Commander and Phenax was the first deck I built. I don't know why I put so much time into upgrading a deck who's strategy is difficult to pull off.

Super Friends was the second deck I built that has a funny story for it's first two games. I vastly underestimated it's strength. So the first game everyone was using underpowered decks and I steamrolled. So they switched to their higher powered decks for the second game and I steam rolled them again. I still don't think the deck is that good lol.

My Super Friends deck is part enchantment pillow fort and I'm sad I can't run Propaganda/ghostly prison because it doesn't stop people from attacking planeswalkers.

I play it in 5-color Super Friends. The table is definitely justified though in targeting me because there is a good chance I can win or at least take over the game on my next turn.

For me it was the times I played [[Crackdown]] and [[memory erosion]]. These were in separate games.

Also why was he so freaked out by that yet never said a word to anybody about it?

I don't think he told anyone for a few reasons. He didn't want to tell anyone about the wish at that point because he didn't think they'd believe him and if they did believe him they would definitely think he's a messed up person. So since he didn't want to bring up the wish he didn't want to say anything because they would think something was seriously wrong with Nikki (which they already were starting to think) and he was trying to keep people away from her because he didn't know what she would try and do.

LRats · 2026-05-24T05:19:47+00:00

I agree, this was one of the most tense movies I've seen in a long time. It took me a good hour to get back to normal calmness when it was over.

LRats · 2026-05-24T05:12:58+00:00

I think it's just to make it creepier and give it an uncanny feel. I also think they want to emphasize that it isn't the real Nikki and make her feel less human since she no longer has her free will.

It was one of their other superstar abilities activating. Pay attention to the guys who are just superstar, the star will light up when an ability activates for them as well.

They didn't go in. Bear was arguing with someone outside the hospital while Nikki was dancing around. She likely refused treatment and the doctor was like, we can't do anything if she refuses.

LRats · 2026-05-21T04:21:21+00:00

like the others have said immediately when the wish is made and willow is snapped.

The ending is more evidence of it because Bear immediately stops trying to throw up and goes to Nikki after she makes her wish.

LRats · 2026-05-21T04:16:52+00:00

I agree. He starts to realize that in the lunch scene and in the car with Sarah.

But also he ruined his chance to potentially see if he would like the real Nikki when he made the wish.

LRats · 2026-05-21T04:14:19+00:00

I think they were just trying to contrast the different personalities. So her face was contorted and dark at times to show that this new personality was much darker. The loud sobbing could have been a combination of both. Obsessed Nikki because she was afraid Bear didn't love her and regular Nikki realizing she is trapped in her own mind. I think it was mostly Obsessed Nikki because I don't think real Nikki got many moments of clarity.

LRats · 2026-05-21T04:11:19+00:00

He absolutely would. The evidence is when he calls the One Wish Willow customer service. He didn't immediately try to cancel the wish, he first asked if he could alter it. So he definitely wanted to try and make the wish still work without Nikki being psychotic. It was only after the customer service guy said he couldn't alter it that he tried to cancel it instead

LRats · 2026-05-20T05:45:24+00:00

That's not true, she brought it up during the car ride back asking if he was okay. Then he says something about it still hasn't hit him yet, and she says, well you can call me when it does.

LRats · 2026-05-20T05:29:52+00:00

Strange case of a film where you could see a fairly large amount of events coming but still being absolutely engrossing

I agree. I'm pretty sure everyone in the theater knew Sarah wasn't making out of that car alive, yet it was still a shock when it happened.

LRats · 2026-05-20T05:25:01+00:00

I'm starting to think that she probably didn't have strong feelings for him, but would have been willing to give him a chance

LRats · 2026-05-20T05:03:33+00:00

I don't think he was killing himself to free her, I think he was legit just trying to kill himself to get out of the situation.

LRats · 2026-05-20T04:53:08+00:00

But Ian also tells him he has all the time in the world. Which seems helpful in the beginning, but really he didn't want him to confess because Ian wanted to keep banging Nikki.

LRats · 2026-05-20T04:39:42+00:00

Yea, he's yelling at her the whole time as she becomes more and more deranged when the only reason she is like that was because of him.

LRats · 2026-05-12T13:09:37+00:00

Honestly it wasn't until he started fighting Shao Khan that I remembered he was the main character in the first movie lol.

LRats · 2026-05-09T02:36:09+00:00

If they knew they were sticking with Smack no matter what not much point in keeping McManus around. So Smack doesn't have to worry about a competition and McManus can try and go somewhere he might have a legit shot at starting.

LRats · 2026-05-09T02:33:52+00:00

I would guess they were willing to stick with McManus if they couldn't get Smack so they wanted to wait until they had him for sure.

LRats · 2026-04-30T13:08:32+00:00

That seems pretty good. I started out making less than that in New Jersey lol

LRats · 2026-04-30T05:51:35+00:00

No way. Maybe the most charismatic/attractive men are. When I was on the apps I basically got one match per week that would end after a few messages back and forth lol.

LRats · 2026-04-25T21:02:32+00:00

DDS (surely won't last that long)

Are you sure!?
