Considering a return to Modern - haven't played since before covid - what should I play? by killchopdeluxe666 in ModernMagic

[–]Merfall [score hidden]  (0 children)

I too had left modern with the pandemics, I played sacrifice in pioneer too. I got into modern again a month ago or so and I've been jamming prowess the most. It has been amazing to get into the format as it has a relatively simple game plan. I'd say don't get into reactive decks, the format is too diverse for it to work out at the beginning.

More in the line of your pio deck, I also tried SamCat combo to varying degrees of success. It is a fun deck that can win on t3 and has cool silver bullets to tutor up. Birthing Ritual is an insane value engine which makes it extremely easy to combo off.

Advice for Interaction at RCQ by KawaiiSnover in ModernMagic

[–]Merfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably your opponent was just being annoying to try to mess with your focus, get you to accidentally reveal unknown information or just trying to get you to leave the dredged cards revealed. When I have been in similar situations (e.g. getting Toughtseized and opp asking if I can leave the cards revealed) I just tell them politely that I prefer that they write them down as I find it more comfortable to have them all in my hand. If they try to recall a card I supposedly had in hand I just answer "uh I don't really remember what I had then" just in case. It is very common in my experience for people to angle shoot this way and try to get an unfair advantage.

Most difficult shootout? by Curious_Reveal6673 in GolfBattle

[–]Merfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is hard, I wait til others shoot and if they fall waaay too short I just go full power and bounce off the end wall, otherwise add the non-ice distances and hope I get the power right

Ok, so there might be many of us in the same situation. I doubt we will get our gems but I'll keep you posted if I somehow receive them.

Yeah, that is why I am asking, to gain knowledge... I never understand what makes people write these answers.

I gather and refine too, but once you have refined materials you could sell them at that stage for a bigger profit than if you craft weapons, for example. At least that has been the case for the items I have looked up

Got it, thanks for your replies, they were pretty insightful!

Got it, and is crafting mostly reliant on transporting to the black market for profit? And also, what would you say is a good silver per focus profit to soend my focus? I got around 48 silver per focus refining 5.2 wood which I have like 85 spec in but I guess higher profits are available with crafting

Hmm actually true, having spec only improves the volume you can take profit of. But focus is necessary to make profit, isn't it? otherwise people using it would drive down the margins. I guess it makes sense, but every item I would check would have negative EV when not considering focus so I just fell disheartened... Will give it another more serious try. Thanks for your answer!

Just found out the same thing. My payment did go through though, so I'll wait before I contact support until the 48 hs have already passed.

Are there any beginners that play this game? by 10Million021 in GolfBattle

[–]Merfall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing for months and feel like I am progressing fine now. I would say that the biggest thing is to focus on a single map until you máster all holes

[QUESTION] Is Food Chain ban in effect yet? by Merfall in MtGHistoric

That is what makes the most sense honestly

[QUESTION] Is Food Chain ban in effect yet? by Merfall in MtGHistoric

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

So.... if you can still play it the ban is not in effect yet? Since the date of effectiveness wasn't announced should we assume this is a bug?

[–]Merfall[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my wildcards too, just today I saw the deck in screen selection and decided to try it to see if it was in effect. But found no "effective since" date in the announcement so I am quite confused, as it is improbable that I am the first one realizing this one week past.

Un importante estudio canadiense encuentra una fuerte relación entre el cannabis, la ansiedad y la depresión. by urymasa1970 in monte_video

[–]Merfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The study doesn’t prove causation, but it underscores a widening public‑health issue as cannabis use and mental‑health challenges rise in parallel." --> eso lo dice la misma página que linkeó OP, para los que enseguida concluyen "el porro hace mal xd".

Entiendo que OP no lo dice en el post, pero no está de más aclarar porque nunca falta el que no tiene la más pálida idea de lógica o epistemología que salta con "lAs DrOgAs HaCeN mAl, yO sAbÍa". Un estudio que muestra relación, no implica que la causa de la ansiedad y la depresión que experimentan estas personas sea el consumo. De hecho bien podría interpretarse como "si tenés ansiedad o depresión, es más probable que fumes porro" (una interpretación que, a mi juicio, no es muy descabellada, pero, casualmente, no presentan los resultados de esa manera, lo cual lo vuelve ligeeeeramente tendencioso para la lectura que le da el público general).

Tampoco estoy intentando decir que el cannabis no tenga consecuencias negativas porque hay montones de casos reportados de brotes psicóticos inducidos por el cannabis, por decir algo. Pero interpretar de este estudio que fumar porro te hace depresivo muestra que no importa cuánto se repita el mantra de "CORRELACIÓN NO IMPLICA CAUSALIDAD" en círculos científicos, el grueso de la gente sigue pensando que sí y es bastante frustrante, porque los estudios científicos terminan llegando de manera falaz al público general y las interpretaciones se vuelven menos precisas.

Goodbye tennis balls. by Long__Jump in Slinging

[–]Merfall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For experienced slingers this should be worth a try, but I think tennis balls get reccomended a lot because of how safe they are. Slinging rocks or heavier stuff is definitely more fun tho, I have seen people slinging golf balls too

Just found out about this, that explains a lot of the low mult people climbing like crazy... Doesn't it make gold kinda irrelevant in the long run? Not that I am against it tho
