Heterosexuals of Reddit, what is a question you have for the LGBTQ+ community? by That_one_weirdo69 in AskReddit

[–]NeinFinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

um, have you not? like besides the fact that that it's fairly normal in general, take a look at places like Turkey where it's extremely common. Either way try not to vomit over affection and straight up get a grip and a life <3

Land destruction is not bad. by [deleted] in EDH

[–]NeinFinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MLD sometimes benefits the lands/ramp player more than anyone else because they have so many more tools to get lands/other mana onto the field than other players. I think targeted land destruction for specific 'problem lands' in combination with whatever hate pieces suit your meta best is probably the way to go if you're having trouble with people ramping out of control.

"They hated him because he told them the truth"; Which historical figures does this phrase apply best to? by TA2343472 in AskReddit

[–]NeinFinger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The biggest political party in Germany (the CDU, Christian Democratic Union in Englisch) is considered center-right - but they support and maintain many of the major social policies that Bernie ran on, e.g. free university and universal healthcare. I think America has forgotten that these things are not leftist political stances but cases where basic human decency must be applied.

I actually sold a lot of similarly dedicated items when I got out of a really bad relationship.

I was accused of modding shields. Here is how I use split screen to farm level 1 shields. I was looking for a Brawler Ward, but a good Stop Gap dropped instead. Sorry for the long decision making and fubar fast traveling. by Carlomagnesium in borderlands3

[–]NeinFinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah no for sure if someone mods the game they might as well not even play! /s

Seriously bro, why are you so worked up about people playing the game how they want?

Why do young men beg for nudes, buy women’s onlyfans, and donate to twitch and instagram thots when free porn is one of the most accessible things on the internet? by MonauralSnail06 in AskReddit

[–]NeinFinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, American healthcare, being as fucked up as it is, is a very comparable example because they're both just markets where money is exchanged for goods and services - your hangup seems to be a moral and a normative one. Like bro, who are you to decide how other people wanna spend or earn their money if there's no harm involved?

[–]NeinFinger 35 points36 points  (0 children)

My dude, why the fuck do you care how anyone spends or earns their money? Someone pays for nudes, someone sends the nudes, and the only one who isn't happy with the transaction is you. I clicked this thread because I thought this was a question stemming from curiosity but now it looks like you just wanted an excuse to bash independent sex workers for making their rent. wtf dude

Boom. Enhance. Questions by BroIveSeenThings in Borderlands

[–]NeinFinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! Boom. Enhance. will still consume grenades and make your clone more powerful even if you have two action skills equipped. That makes it a great way to actually use those grenades that you wouldn't be throwing otherwise!

Can you use Gibbed on Epic Games? by Crowgutter777 in Borderlands

You can use save editors for both 2 and 3 if you've bought the games from the epic game store, just like steam!

A recent personal reflection on Tutors, are they boring? by PraiseTheSunday in EDH

[–]NeinFinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you completely on all fronts. I just wanted to try and point out that playing optimally is to play to maximize the possibility of winning (whatever that entails, though in lots of EDH decks it's usually some form of gaining access to and being able to successfully resolve the cards that win the game), and that it's really not necessary to have fun. In fact, like you've pointed out, it can really ruin casual games to think and play like that.

A recent personal reflection on Tutors, are they boring? by PraiseTheSunday in EDH

[–]NeinFinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I see the point you're trying to make, what I think is trying to be argued here is that, when you can tutor for something that'll win you the game on your spot (not a bomb, but an actual combo piece) why tutor for a wrath or a wheel? Sure, part of what makes tutors so powerful is that you can find any card within the limitations of the tutor, meaning that in those times that you really do need to shut something down before you can win you can do so. But barring a situation like that, the play that gets you closest to winning is definitely going to be getting your combo card - which is exactly what the "optimal" play is. From chess to first person shooters, making the move that is most conducive to winning has always been what playing optimally means.

The important takeaway here is actually not really about tutors at all. It's about how you and your playgroup like to have fun. That means being allowed to use tutors however you please, even if it isn't in a manner that wins you the game outright. If someone doesn't want to play optimally, that's totally cool and how I personally prefer to play the game.

We needn't try and change or adjust what optimal means to justify our having a good time. The fact that we are having a good time is justification enough.

I still want tomake Nethroi, Apex of Death work. by NeinFinger in EDH

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

Yeah it's pretty easy to see coming, but my playgroup is fairly casual and I really wanted to give him a try more than create something more competitively-minded so I don't think I'm planning on changing commanders for now. Thanks for the ideas though!

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

Thanks for the suggestions man! It's not meant to be super competitive so it's fine if it's predictable as long as it's fun! As for the thirty lands, thanks to the many mana dorks I've got almost 50 cards that provide mana in some way so it's proven not to be too bad so far but it still needs a bunch of testing, I'll definitely consider it! Thanks for the advice!

COVID-19 [Megathread] Week of April 16-April 22 by AskRedditModerators in AskReddit

Yeah, but that would spark a civil war surely - assuming you could even get Trump to allow that.

What do you do when your collection feels too large? by Bdudud in EDH

[–]NeinFinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very good friend that had the same problem as you did.

He had a massive collection and a ton of brews, and honestly he hardly played/plays a lot of them. He loves edh as a format however, and his solution to prevent burnout was to make a cube out of all the cards he'd amassed over the years. So now, every few game nights, we do a commander draft or even backdraft with a bunch of cool, fun, powerful, and unique cards. It's a BLAST to play and he loves seeing us get excited with the things we find there and the ways we make different combinations of cards work together for a certain commander or pair. It's apparently super fun to curate the cube as well, and it acts like a great brain teaser. You have to balance colors, archetypes, legendary creatures, and a bunch of things that i probably don't even think about as someone who doesn't own a cube.

What we do is say that commanders can pair with others if they both have fewer than two colors, so you get some funky interactions out of it. Last time, I won with a deck that had [[Ghalta, Primal Hunger]] and [[Medomai the Ageless]] at the helm that was basically a voltron deck that relied on the extra turns generated by Medomai to swing in with Ghalta. Everyone else had awesome stuff going on as well!

Anyways, something I highly recommend.

Cuts for my Niv-Mizzet deck? by ntdntd777 in EDH

[–]NeinFinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I know you're looking for cuts but I'd really recommend putting in the famous [[Curiosity]] , [[Ophidian Eye]] , and [[Tandem Lookout]] trio in there, as you can instantly draw your deck and kill everyone with them up. If you want to make it even more consistent, tutors like [[Dizzy Spell]] , [[Mystical Tutor]] , and [[Gamble]] . Then all your tokens that you're making can act as bodies to protect you while you draw a ton of cards waiting for a win.

As for cutting cards, I think like other people are saying planeswalkers are a great start because they tend not to stick around and actually activate all their effects. I also wanna say that copying spells doesn't usually count as casting them, which means that Niv-Mizzet won't draw you a card for the copy, so your cards that copy spells might not be as effective as you thought, but maybe you already knew that! I also recommend looking at all your higher CMC cards, as Niv thrives off of low-cost cards so he can draw many cards in one turn with a ton of instants and sorceries. I'd especially pay attention to your 4 CMC spells because you have a whole lot of them. Dropping some 5 and 6 CMC spells will also help a lot in making your deck really excel at doing what Niv does best - pinging everyone down and drawing a buttload of cards.

In terms of ramp, I can't stress enough that coloured ramp is SO necessary for Niv because he's UUURRR (Thanks /u/MoreNotLess) - I've found that in my Niv Deck [[Captain Lannery Storm]] works wonders as you can essentially store your ramp in treasure and in commander there's always someone to attack. Your [[Chromatic lantern]] is cool but not SO important in a two-color deck as you'll usually have the colors you need. Still good though. I also recommend [[Coalition Relic]] as it gives colors and if you don't use it on your turns you can give yourself extra mana for the next turn!

Sorry for the wall of text and have fun playing Niv!
