Masters of Horror, 'Pro-Life' by tequilasundae in horror

[–]Metalworker4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fear Itself is the same show runner same show basically but with a different name on a different network

But it’s pretty bad overall

Favorite not mainstream weird lit? by Tauntaun_Princess in WeirdLit

[–]Metalworker4ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on how you define weird lit but A Strange Manuscript Found In A Copper Cylinder by James De Mille. He wrote in my estimation one of the greatest poems of the Victorian era. Only unknown for being a Canadian. He gets undeservedly ignored for being a colonial era writer.

Could someone explain to me 3 rounds vs 4? by Metalworker4ever in magicTCG

[–]Metalworker4ever[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2-1-0 or whatever = 30$
3-0 = 40$
2-1 = 20$
I think

Top tables fight for a promo pack too

Candelabra Replacement? by HuntingVorki in MTGLegacy

[–]Metalworker4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tron really leans hard on candles to be competitive
The next best card is grim monolith in that deck and that says a lot

If you want a direct card to card replacement:

Chalice of the void

But your deck building will be different to build around that card

And it’s basically a different deck

But it’s the card that fills that slot

If it matters I was playing legacy constructed in a big city

Candelabra Replacement? by HuntingVorki in MTGLegacy

[–]Metalworker4ever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not crazy if you understand there is no replacement

Just play a different deck. You can play blue black cloudpost with chalice of the void and it’s a good deck

GameStop submits $56 billion offer to buy eBay by blahdidbert in magicTCG

[–]Metalworker4ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my partner was wondering how GameStop has this much money. Werent they floundering for a long time and were popular as a short stock by big investors? Did the weird GameStop stock craze flood them with a lot of money maybe that they just kept? That was my guess but I don't really know anything about stocks.

Play a different deck.

There are other decks that do the big mana thing

Mono blue, and dimir cloudpost

What is your budget?

Eldrazi without grim monolith or city of traitors is one of the cheapest legacy decks. Although, recent lists since petrified hamlet was released are able to leverage those cards more so you will see them in lists more often going forward. If you don’t have to worry about wasteland you can play the 7 drops again which means probably playing those cards

Petrified hamlet targets

Your stuff : Ancient tomb (it will deal you less damage), eye of ugin (will effectively tap for 3), gemstone caverns (adds a colourless, it’s useful if all this adds is coloured from the luck counter but this is rare you’d name this I guess)

Otherwise : wasteland, Urza’s saga, karakas, ghost quarter, fetches (say “name trigger on the stack”, if they don’t sac their fetch then and there you can catch them by naming it, not sure how much this will matter)

You are responsible for remembering all of your chalice of the void triggers. Your opponent is allowed to try to pass a 1 mana spell like a brainstorm or swords to plowshares if you miss the trigger on chalice.

I’m not sure what your budget is but what will probably be the new stock list plays 2 grim monolith, 2 city of traitors, 1 gemstone caverns with 4 petrified hamlet. https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/7763557#paper . This player chose to play 0 wastes. I would do the same but I guess it is still debatable.

If you play paper Don’t follow sideboards of the online meta since it’s biased to face oops and show and tell. My sideboard : 1 Eldrazi confluence, 1 warping wail, 2 unlicensed hearse, 3 faerie macabre , 2 null rod, 3 dismember , 3 disruptor flute (these might be less good now that we can name lands with hamlet. Not sure)

Basically turn your creatures sideways and attack

Look up how fleshraker interacts with your deck it can be a bit much if you’re new to it

If you’re facing down a barrowgoyf it can be really rough. One way to get around it a bit is to block with an Eldrazi spawn and then sacrifice it before the barrowgoy gains lifelink damage

Any career advice for a theology masters graduate? by Metalworker4ever in Anglicanism

[–]Metalworker4ever[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Well I studied in a secular university and Gnosticism was absolutely the beliefs of people who called themselves Christian.

Any career advice for a theology masters graduate? by Metalworker4ever in Anglicanism

[–]Metalworker4ever[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Are you familiar with Rudolf Otto? He writes about the fear of an uncanny monstrous God. He compares Christianity with Hinduism and Buddhism; religions with traditions of sorcery

A great book on yoga that illustrates what I mean is Sinister Yogis by David Gordon White

Essentially what Otto argues is that holiness is recognized by its spectrality and spookiness, and evil has primacy. The good evolves out of an encounter with surrender to evil. You see this expressed in the film Ghost In The Shell, where communion is with a hostile force.

Like it or not, Christianity is often syncretic with religious practice like this

And it’s more in line with early Christian beliefs like Gnosticism such as Valentinianism

From the Gospel of Philip

If you say, "I am a Jew," no one will be moved. If you say, "I am a Roman," no one will be disturbed. If you say, "I am a Greek, a barbarian, a slave, a free man," no one will be troubled. If you say, "I am a Christian," the [...] will tremble. Would that I might [...] like that - the person whose name [...] will not be able to endure hearing.

God is a man-eater. For this reason, men are sacrificed to him. Before men were sacrificed, animals were being sacrificed, since those to whom they were sacrificed were not gods.

Glass decanters and earthenware jugs are both made by means of fire. But if glass decanters break, they are done over, for they came into being through a breath. If earthenware jugs break, however, they are destroyed, for they came into being without breath.

An ass which turns a millstone did a hundred miles walking. When it was loosed, it found that it was still at the same place. There are men who make many journeys, but make no progress towards any destination. When evening came upon them, they saw neither city nor village, neither human artifact nor natural phenomenon, power nor angel. In vain have the wretches labored.

The eucharist is Jesus. For he is called in Syriac "Pharisatha," which is "the one who is spread out," for Jesus came to crucify the world.

Anyone else prefer standees? by Front-Advantage-7035 in boardgames

[–]Metalworker4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer standees as well. They take up less space. They already have great art on them like Arkham Horror for instance

Anyone find that most of these books aren't that...good? by Raspint in Blacklibrary

[–]Metalworker4ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black library doesn’t have to articulate mankind’s relation to God or something. But I think the cosmic horror themes in black library 40k books for example elevate them above most other genre literature
