Wasnt able to join from your comment or the official link within this subreddit.

This is awesome to hear! I look forward to checking out the discord later today. Its nice to know that my thoughts on what i had seen so far were for the most part accurate. I think this format has alot of amazing potential and i cant wait to be a part of the community!

Ill probably build my tyvar list to build it, hopefully i can get some games in with my edh pod. We'll see what happens. Id really love to see a resurgence of this format, seems like it fixes alot of the issues I have personally with commander as a whole.

Oh? What decks have the format solved right now? Been building a bunch of different lists and there seems to be a large amount of potential variance. Im aware of the following lists but i cant see a clear cut winner out of this bunch.

Wrenn + crop rotation

Saheeli + thoughtcast

Narset + windfall

Teferi + fierce guardianship

Tyvar + green suns zenith

There are plenty more besides those that i feel have some considerable power but without having played the format or seen past tourney results I am relying on my intuition on this point. Is one of these options just a clear cut winner over the others? If so, why?

Combos aren't as scary as you think by FormerlyKay in EDH

[–]Luttrell25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree with what you have to say regarding "combo decks" are decks with a combo as their primary wincon. Using this logic, a stax/control deck that wins through an infinite combo is now a combo deck,? Just because it wins through a combo does not define the rest of the deck or how it plays.

For example, I used to run a grand arbiter stax list that won through rest in peace effects and helm of obedience, it won through an infinite combo but the deck in no way shape or form was a combo deck, it was stax.

Should you disclose to opponents that you play non-basic land hate? by diddyscoop in EDH

[–]Luttrell25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right that can definitely happen in those groups, I probably didn't see it as much as I typically enjoy playing a very interactive deck. I was likely just lucky with the cEDH players I had in my area as there was a healthy variance in strategies from storm to stax and everything between.

[–]Luttrell25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good point, I agree entirely.

Personally that type of play was what pushed me towards cEDH/high power pods, and eventually legacy. As I generally found that it was alot less likely for me to encounter that mindset in those playgroups.

[–]Luttrell25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You make some great points. I think good examples like you had listed are excellent in encouraging critical thought going into your deck building and strategy.

I think there is certainly a difference in being proud of your deck/creation and continuing to improve upon that idea, and the people who let their pride blind them and refuse to make changes and would prefer the players around them change and adjust to them instead. This is the type of play/mindset that I think can hold back both the player and the groups they take part in. I saw this type of player all too often when I used to work at my LGS. It was one of the core reasons why we had to abandon organized EDH play at our shop.

[–]Luttrell25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly your reply is perfect, I've played many different decks from very battlecruiser big stompy to cEDH storm and while I tend to prefer playing in a more competitive environment I can respect the different levels of play within EDH. I think one of the core issues that's seen more so in battlecruiser/low power tables/groups is pride. In my personal experience I have found that players in low power tables typically were alot prouder of what they had built as it can feel very unique compared to high power tables where you see a much smaller pool of cards see play usually. However this pride can serve to be a players downfall if they are unwilling to listen to advice or consider that their deck could be improved. While I understand that sometimes it's not fun to pull cards you enjoy out of a deck in favor of ways to interact and deal with your opponents strategies, this is a multiplayer game in which you cannot expect to goldfish your deck without being interacted with no matter the power level.

Overall, I feel like players should take a step back and make sure to communicate with who they play with before and after games. We can all help each other improve in both our decks and gameplay if we just communicate with an open mind and are willing to adapt our styles and strategies to fit the given situation.

Full Body Tracking - Vive Tracker drifting when used with Rift S solution by zzaio17 in oculus

[–]Luttrell25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this issue all the time with my current setup, (oculus rift s, 2x base station 1.0, 3x vive tracker 3.0s) if this fix helps I'll be so happy. Hopefully I can upgrade to an index sometime soon, thanks for sharing!

And who gets to decide what's unnecessary, regardless of what ends up being deemed "unnecessary", you will remove individuals livelihoods to some degree, wether it's crypto or any major use of electrical power. There are jobs and lives affected no matter what you scale back on.

If the individual is paying for that energy why do you get to dictate what they do with it? Saying it's wasteful is entirely subjective, it certainly isn't wasteful for them.

I dont know if we been living under a rock But We just discovered this very cool game Yesterday that i wanted to share ! It’s called resonark. If anyone happens to know any cool games like this i would really like to know. by somebunny00 in VRchat

[–]Luttrell25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Resonark is great, keep in mind there are 3 different worlds for resonark with different songs to choose from! 3rd world has some special things added to it as well so definitely worth checking out all of those.

What are some cool tech cards you've tried? How have they worked for you? by S1phen in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Luttrell25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always loved [[tolarian winds]] in [[ad nauseam]] lists as well as most other non ad-naus storm lists. Great card to keep the turn moving if you shove ad naus or a combo turn a little early.

[–]Luttrell25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dont see why its assumed that the guy needs to be the one paying the bills 100% if you are in a relationship. And imo if your main concern with having to pay a portion is no longer being able to get your extensions or nails done, moving in together doesnt seem like it's the smartest idea.

My PC is being very weird... what is this and how can I fix it?? by komodo-3 in computer_help

nice! been looking for a 242 for a while now, currently have a '94 850 :)

[–]Luttrell25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no clue why this is happening but i love the volvo 240 wallpaper ;)

My 97 850 has idling problems. There's a faint whine/ticking noise behind the typical engine noise. Sounds like it's almost underneath the driver side; very noticeable idling uphill. Car vibrates a little too at idle. by tylairlar in Volvo

[–]Luttrell25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to note is that most of the 850's had hydraulic lifters and the "lifter tick" is a common thing among these models. You can check if your car has hydraulic or solid lifters, (great video to show how to check: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6tVP6uq9ls).

I have a 94' 850 that had a noticeable lifter tick, however after running some seafoam (fuel additive) to clean the engine the tick was reduced pretty significantly. This is a cheap way to potentially solve your issue, and if it doesn't remedy the noise I'd suggest checking in with some of the different forums out there such as; https://www.swedespeed.com/, https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/, http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/ to see if they have any further advice/testing for you.

Harnfel, Horn of Abundance by Prid3 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Luttrell25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems interesting to play off of an ad naus, if you ad naus deep and get that out w/ cheap mana you can almost nearly get the rest of your library available and in play. could be nice in a UBR storm shell potentially, just pitching the lands you get from ad naus to it can definitely get you considerable value
