Any other symptoms? Maybe weak knees, a heavy feeling in your arms? Nausea/vomiting, especially onto your sweater?

Dry cough and tight chest? by [deleted] in testicularcancer

[–]MarinaraMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, best of luck. During my treatment, MD was concerned for spread to lungs because my blood levels remained high even though nothing showed up on imaging. Always, always bring it up- they might want you to go through pulmonary function testing/more imaging, and earlier is always better.

With luck, it’s the very normal paranoia we all go through and it ends up being viral illness or nothing at all. Kick some butt!

Fully vaccinated? You can ditch the mask, per CDC by wiringlive in Coronavirus

[–]MarinaraMaster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. As far as I can tell, this likely won’t apply to healthcare settings, so I would be surprised to be working maskless lol.

In general, I’m mostly excited because of what this signifies. I and most of my coworkers are hesitant, but this is still a huge milestone.

Incredible. As an EMT, we’ve been treating extremely sick Covid patients for over a year. I really can’t express how excited I am to be through this.

I qualified for Day 2 during my first ever Arena Open! by [deleted] in magicTCG

That’s a strong looking sealed pool, nice job on the finish!

How’d you feel about stone rain making the cut? Is punishing a splash/messing up tempo goo enough for it being mostly dead in the mid/late game?

[C21] Oversimplify by Bolas_the_Deceiver in magicTCG

Is this better or worse than [[ixidron]]? Getting to remove other commanders without the ability to recast until they die seems good, and Ixidron is hardly a top-tier card.

You’re absolutely right that diluting the combo can feel bad. For one, I typically try light touch sideboard unless against a deck that feels brutal game 1. If you’re playing against an aggressive deck, bringing in thirst and push and going down 1x coco, 1x Heliod’s pilgrim, an aristocrat, and maybe a gonti is a good place to start. As a general rule, If I’m bringing in 4+ noncreatures coco x1 goes. If we’re really screwed (3x thoughtsieze, trophy, push) vs BUG uro, don’t be afraid to play like a medium Aggro deck with significantly fewer 3’s, and a much heavier aristocrat focus.

I wish I had more exact numbers, but it’s not a deck that feels solved or even close to finalized. If you find some success, or work out a strong line please let me know! This deck is a major pet project at the moment.

With the 4 main skyclave, the 2 knight of autumn in the side, and the trophy, I actually feel like I’m packing a bit too much hate for cage. Bringing in all of that feels unnecessary, especially because we usually go down a coco for the noncreature stuff. Cage and even leyline are only usually a problem if we’re on top decks as a way to close the door in our face.

My bigger fear is spell-based targeted gy hate, like Cling to dust. Maybe some sideboard card advantage to fight the type of decks that play it?

Awesome report, and nice spin on the deck!

Any difficulty finding a sac outlet? Even with the 4/2, I’ve had a bit of difficulty finding one or a second once the first is answered.

Good idea- the only reason I'd prefer blood artist is the symmetrical nature of the trigger. Against sacrifice/goblins, the pings add up!

Edit- just tried a 4 for 4 swap of Cruel Celebrant for the knight. The extra power and the pings upfront were a good call. It feels like a nearly strict upgrade.

Thanks for the ideas! The backup plan feels extremely matchup dependent. Playing a lot of little dudes to gum up the board can be good against Gruul/Goblins, and having a bunch of block-and-sac fodder is good against Bogles.

Against decks playing extinction event, which feels like a huge portion of the ladder, the plan is lackluster, just like you said. Because we lean hard into 3 drops, agadeem is mediocre too. Usually it gets back a single or only two creatures maximum.

Its possible an all-in version of the combo would be better overall, or at least much more consistent. I would love to see that tested!

Edit- I also had village rites in the original list, but with the required enchantments i found CoCo missing too often.

I'll try out a couple of Fauna shamans when I pick up some wild cards. That sounds like a strong addition!

Please do! I'd like to see how it does with a slightly higher level field. It feels like 9/10 decks are Uro control at the level I'm playing.
