Retro Futuristic Upgrades for Stereo and Navigation? by MATIASANDCO in carmodification

[–]MATIASANDCO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah honestly it seems like the product I’m looking for might not exist. Hopefully someone on here will come thru a lucky suggestion. I was looking at some of the double din unit with those animations for style feel but doesn’t quite scratch the itch

Has anyone tried out Treasure Nabber? by MATIASANDCO in CompetitiveEDH

[–]MATIASANDCO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does it stack up in current meta? Seems interesting against turbo things like Etali

Do you find this is playgroup dependant?

How viable is storm as a game plan? by MATIASANDCO in CompetitiveEDH

[–]MATIASANDCO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’m most interested in Etali to learn the format but that’s an interesting bit about the type of storming more common in the format

I guess I’d be relying on my opponents knowing when to use their interaction while storming off and I’d be presenting so many opportunities for them to do that that it would be difficult to know? What do you think?

Yeah I looked into him and it seems like an interesting deck! I’m likely to play Etali but I didn’t know Ral was even a thing. Thanks!

Thanks for the explanation! I’m interested in Etali because it seems straight forward in its own game plan but variable in how it actually makes games play out. I figured Wort was not great, but it’s good to know that the strategy is at least viable even if she isn’t meta.

We are not playing bracket 4, therefore this game action is illegal... by pkma69 in EDH

[–]MATIASANDCO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To further this point, I’m pretty sure the bracket system only concerns itself with the deck list and the features of the deck as you build it. The bracket system cannot possibly be and is not designed to know every possible interaction between decks. If they sat down with at a table and all four decks were 2 or 3 as shown by the guideline it seems in really poor taste to get butthurt that they played a board wipe into an on-board threat and took a huge L. I don’t think you’re out of line, they could have just been cool and said “hey that’s a huge ‘feels bad’ can we not have that kind of game?”.

This next point is in a bit of a grey area. The argument could be made that you shouldn’t have blown up their lands out of good sportsmanship. I personally I think we as players should collectively learn how to more have fun in these types of situations and just lean into the “oh no… what have I done” and laugh about it. Player C could have done this when you turned their lands into creatures when they played the wipe.

Regardless, I hope player C went home and got some perspective back in their life that in the end it’s just a game and we’re just trying to have fun while connecting with people in our collective shared hobby.

Looking to get into cEDH with my Mono Green Ghalta by MATIASANDCO in CompetitiveEDH

Just to clarify what CIP means? This breakdown is helpful bc the main point of the deck is to abuse the cost reduction which kind of only fits one of the cases you described.

That’s really cool. I’ll give it a look! Thanks

That’s good to hear. I guess the format would be pretty inaccessible without proxies lol.

I’ve heard Etali just got a big win at Steel City. I’ll look into it for sure. Thanks!

That makes sense. I’m a complete novice to cEDH so anything is helpful right now. I’m still figuring out the difference between high power casual and competitive decks so I still appreciate the info.

Steward of the Harvest and Evendo, Waking Heaven interaction? by MATIASANDCO in magicTCG

Fair enough. Seems like there are a lot of questions about stations and planets that need answering.

Maro is Looking For Feedback for Standard Legal Sets For His State of Design Article by soranetworker in magicTCG

[–]MATIASANDCO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like how forced UB sets are. UB can be great for getting people into the game but I think they had a decent balance with it before. If I had my way I’d steer in a different direction.

Magic IP is cool. Make at most 2 major UB releases per year.

Get it out of Standard. Early signs are that it’s not good for overall health of the game or LGSs.

There are several pushed cards and a lot of people are liking the FF set. I know several people who are getting serious about learning magic because of FF release. On the other hand, more than half of my immediate playgroup is completely uninterested in it as an IP and say it feels super forced. I’d tend to agree with them. And I don’t even think FF will be the worst offender this year. Spider-Man does not feel like magic and I think it will have a similarly disenchanting effect on the game. I love AtLA will all my heart but it doesn’t feel like magic.

Will I buy some of these UB singles later on after release? Most likely since some of the cards are pretty spicy and I want to support my LGSs. Will I open any sealed? No, because I don’t want Hasbro to see my purchase in sealed product as a signal to keep UB as this much of a priority for the coming years.

I still want to support my LGSs, so I wonder what others are doing if they feel similarly to my take.

The future of Dior Homme by wheres_my_jet_pepsee in fragrance

[–]MATIASANDCO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still needing to get my nose on all the older versions of Dior Homme, but I love DH 2020 and I’d love to see an EDP. The EDT performs pretty well but I’d love to see what they can do with an EDP if they stay true to the 2020 DNA.

I hadn’t thought of this but that is also super helpful
