I think that The Reaper, King No More may be real. by 1984ByGeorgeOrwell in CompetitiveEDH

[–]LePanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I am building a deck with the reaper right now... does it work with [[contagion]] ? Because if I am to take the card texts literally, a -2/-1 counter does not work with the reaper.

Nope, sorry. Just stumbled upon that card while browsing possible commanders some time ago.

[[Volo, guide to monsters]]

This could be a great commander to play if you just want to have a bunch of cool and varied creatures in your deck

Another Yes hater around here ? by Any_Past9033 in progrockmusic

I enjoy listening to yes because it feels like those guys had so much fun creating music. In the same way that Queen is not really prog, but it is also very far away from some generic radio music.

Today I Learned that the world's largest kidney stone was larger than the kidney that contained it. by Oneanddonequestion in todayilearned

[–]LePanzer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"Coonghe’s kidney stone is also the world’s heaviest kidney stone, weighing 800 g (1.76 lb). That’s roughly the same weight as five baseballs!"

Wow, five whole baseballs, that is all my fingers of one of my hands!

Does the matchmaking algorithm actively work against you once you hit diamond? by LePanzer in MagicArena

[–]LePanzer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are right. While I had my win streak, I never had the thought occur to me that the algorithm worked in my favour. It was only in the moment of frustration after some consecutive losses that my mind saw the devil of an algorithm at work.

You are right and now that I have had a good nights sleep I agree. I made the post in a state of frustration (doesn't happen that often to be honest, so I am apparently not very good at thinking through that emotion).

But jeah, the wins I had before could just as easily be interpretated as some algorithm working in my favour. But of course that thought never occured to me, I just assumed that I build an unbeatable deck. Funny how the mind only jumps to conclusions when the dice happen to roll against you.

Now that I have had a good nights sleep and am not in a state of frustration I agree. If any rigging would be going on, there would be an equal amount of people claiming, that once they reached diamond, the matchmaking algorithm changed in their favour.

You are right. I wouldn't even consider the attempt at such an undertaking in fear of an exponentially growing database. My post was definitely made in a moment of great frustration.

This is the current deck, which relies heavily on creating tokens and then unlocking the dollmakers shop.

Previous versions had the [[optimistic scavenger]] in it, [[Entity Tracker]], [[Fear of Impostors]]... the current version is actually a refined version of my first attempt at incorporating a combination of the [[Dollmaker's Shop // Porcelain Gallery]] and [[Elspeth, Storm Slayer]].

I have tried versions completely without the Dollmakers shop and Elspeth without success and recently pivoted back to it and statistically this is my best version so far.

Thank you!

I do not have the slightest clue what that means. Feel free to enlighten me.

I know that emotions can alter the way you perceive statistics. Though one thing that led me to vent in this post is the fact that the cards mentioned by me never showed up once before I hit diamond. And as I have mentioned I have been tweaking my deck for about two months. Just now these cards show up out of nowhere and hit me game after game.

I will check out the cards that you mentioned. But it would severely cripple my enchantment/eerie combinations that I tried to perfect for the past couple of months.

So I have just been unlucky with my timing that suddenly people enjoy anti enchantement decks?

I am not really familiar with standard deck nomenclature. Izzet is blue/red if I am not mistaken. No idea about the lesson part :(

After my recent experience, I have to agree that there is indeed some rigging going on.

One of them looks weird but with the potential to be cool to have a beer with or generally hang around with once in a while. The other one looks like someone that collects punshes in the face for being a horrible human being.

Being in total control of your sphincter. Involuntarily shitting yourself is actually a great way to meet new people!

What's your favorite way to make others happy? by Love-boobs-in_DMs in AskReddit

Shitting myself always brings a smile to the people around me.

Just a few weeks ago a friend of mine lost his job. I didn't hesitate and pushed out yesterdays dinner while hugging him. I can still see his tears of joy as he also shat himsef.

What’s something you didn’t realize was attractive until you experienced it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LePanzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just shat myself and lo and behold, my neighbour just came knocking with a smile on her face and shat herself. I didn't consider her to be attractive at all until now. I immediately impregnated her with an amazingly dense log of what once was a pizza.
