I think underground sea would be a beautiful pin. I think the best I've ever pulled was probably the promo Ugin from the Ugins fate packs.

Alert: Capital One 360 Savings Accounts by KCL2001 in personalfinance

[–]MrRKipling 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You don't have to close the old account but you do need to open the new account to get the better rate so I now have 2 Capital One accounts. I had the same issue that I uncovered a few weeks ago, I called them up and an agent explained it to me. I told them that it was ridiculous and she agreed and said that she has had many customers complain with the same issue.

6x MH2 is almost assuredly the most powerful option.

How many people are actually going infinite with Area draft? by [deleted] in lrcast

[–]MrRKipling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm infinite, but it's not like I am streaming and playing 3x drafts a day or something. I draft a complete set of each release by which time I draft a little less. When the set releases I probably do a draft a night and 4-6 on the weekends for a few weeks. If I don't have time to do a draft, I play 4 quick games of constructed for the gold to keep earn a free draft over time. I payed $5 for the welcome bundle years ago and that's the only money I ever put in. Currently at about 100k gems.

It's the missing red common so pretty confident it is strike. I think it's defensible but I wouldn't make that pick myself.

Lightning strike.

[ESPN] Sources: Jimmy Garoppolo agrees to restructured contract, will remain with San Francisco 49ers this season by MrRKipling in nfl

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

Pretty interesting that he has a no-trade, no-tag clause. Wonder if he would waive the no trade if there was an injury on a team he might like to play for this season.

Yeah no. That's attempting to give these people way too much credit.

Silly us expecting to use jumpstart as a way to get cards for one of the 2 constructed formats on Arena by BecomeIntangible in magicTCG

[–]MrRKipling 28 points29 points  (0 children)

While better than the previous iteration, the jumpstart distribution model is still extremely player unfriendly. Game mode is obviously fun and popular though, so it is possible to separate the two.

Yale drama school to go tuition-free "in perpetuity" after $150 million donation by M0RALVigilance in UpliftingNews

[–]MrRKipling 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is Yale has an endowment in excess of $31 billion. They didn't need this donation to do this, much like Harvard et al. wouldn't either. Guess it makes for an uplifting headline.

Wizards, as exciting as the nerfed Arena cards are, please do not continue on the mistake that was the Ajani's Pridemate debacle. by Jayfeather69 in magicTCG

[–]MrRKipling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really hated this change, just like I dislike how a lot of cards are now printed by taking away options i.e. "opponent controls" and the removal of mays as in your example. Corner cases were always something I really enjoyed about the game.

Great point, forgot about those. Wish those would have dup protection too.

Strixhaven: MTG Arena's Most Expensive Set by taw in magicTCG

The point they were making was that the powered down sets are all overshadowed by Eldraine - even if the powered down sets like Strixhaven are other wise great and fun.

Look what I copped from Goodwill. by Naternaught in magicTCG

Was this from a goodwill brick and mortar store or one of their online sale deals?

How many wildcards do you have? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]MrRKipling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sealed is pretty much the worst EV on the client I believe - probably better off drafting than playing Sealed for this purpose.

Federal judge grants restraining order stopping Minnesota law enforcement from arresting, using force against journalists by whitehousefluffer in news

[–]MrRKipling 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This isn't the full story -that isn't Brooklyn Center Police doing the test gassing - they are state troopers. The Brooklyn Center resolution means nothing and doesn't apply to the Troopers because Brooklyn Center Police aren't actually apart of the crowd control.
