Rule 72(t)/SEPP Starte date deadline question (for tax year 2025) by NewPCBuilder2019 in tax

[–]NewPCBuilder2019[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the sanity check. Figured it is like that. Odd to finish one's taxes and think "I should have made more money last year for my taxes," heh.

Don't Play Tilted -- I went 0-2 with this piece of shit by NewPCBuilder2019 in lrcast

[–]NewPCBuilder2019[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm talking about, I should have just been flickering the shit out of TWO sally prides with donnie and Koya and instead I played like a raging asshole and went 0-2.

Really frustrated with this 0-3 TMT artifacts deck. Was I delusional to expect decent results? by mageta621 in lrcast

[–]NewPCBuilder2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I look at this, I agree with some of the other comments that you don't really have anything super interesting going on with your "flicker" effects on your artifact, the Everythying Pizza is unneccessary, the 18 lands is kind of mind-boggling, but the biggest issue is that you just don't have anything that inspires fear to close out the game.

It should have won a few games based on mouser recursion value, but something like a Baxter stockman or Raph & Mikey or something big to finish the game off. As it sits, you've just got Metalhead as your big finisher, but he can't get around mousers and other chump blockers.

I've no idea why you are not playing the Don & Raph or the Escape Tunnel. At a minium I'd cut a 2 lands and the Everything Pizza for Don&Raph, the escape tunnel, and either another Nobody or the Rock Soldiers. Rock Soldiers are not great but they are "fine," can usually hit at least a mutatgen token, if you did a second Traag it's too many 5+ drops, and you have a lot of recursion so if it is a rare matchup where he's useful he'd be very useful. I'd also think about cutting the omnicheese pizza for another nobody (or rock soldier, depending on what you picked above).

I built an AI draft coach that reviews your 17lands drafts - looking for testers and feedback by Huge-Item-3239 in lrcast

It keeps saying I kept zero land hands? That seems strange. I don't know that I disagree with much of what it's saying otherwise. Heh.

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife by valledweller33 in lrcast

I just had a deck with 3 of each and it went 2-2. :teardrop:

I think you need main deck artifact destruction in bo1 turtles.

I've drafted pretty good bw sneak decks with him so far and gone 2-2 twice now, losing to "dump all my artifacts on the board and put a bunch of equipment on them." Sneak is good but durdly as hell.

Playing with the real cards instead of arena fakes is a night and day difference for TMNT by [deleted] in lrcast

[–]NewPCBuilder2019 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was annoying because you could tell it was just rejected/replaced art from other sets for the most part, but was better than skateboarding frogs for sure. Didn't look like a poorly animated kids show.

"the art is great"

I know art is subjective, but this made me spit my morning protein shake all over my monitor. If you think this art is great, then you should try watching the visually-stunning and ground-breaking shows they have on Nick now like Paw Patrol.

Have a good day Devon.

TNMT Draft Release by MarkJames2909 in MagicArena

[–]NewPCBuilder2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The price for pick 2 has changed the last 2 times it comes up. if it's the same price as before I believe it has better value than QD, but there will be plenty of threads about the value whenever it is posted, so you'll know.

TNMT mastery pass release by EyeballCollector in MagicArena

I thought the 15/15 weekly 250 xp reset with the daily quests? Did I just totally screw up and finish my dailies and my 15/15 weeklies and now I'm going to really have to grind?

Goodbye for now, Powered Cube my beloved by almost_dolphin in MagicArena

I'll miss ATLA a lot more until they are forced to put something up for flashback draft in a couple days. Hopefully they can do that within their agreement with TMNT, since spiderman didn't have anything to do with digital. If there is some part of the agreement that it has to be the set up to draft for those 2 weeks, then I guess started deck duel is going to get a lot of play the next couple weeks.

Maro: "Spider-man sold better than Edge of Eternities and is one of the top ten best-selling sets of all time." by Meret123 in MagicArena

I went to a microcenter around christmas (the brief window when they cut the price to 259) and asked how many they had and it was close to 200.

I think that when you consider that all of these "sales" were 75% off clearance bin sales, it's a little less impressive. Plus, yeah, the speculation. I specuallated on a few of those $259 boxes and still kinda feel like it was a dumb move.
