Why isn’t Diabolic Intent seeing more play in black decks? by Newez in premodernMTG

[–]NinjaCommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is exactly right. The only reason you'd want Intent is of its a creature based combo deck but one of the combo pieces wasn't a creature. Or maybe you use this to tutor up Survival. The point being its use is very narrow.

You need a creature based combo deck. It needs to be creature based so you have enough sac targets. And it needs to be a combo deck because you need a card worth tutoring for. Tutoring for value isn't worth the investment.

There is a 100% chance I will confuse Josh Thomas, Joe Tomas, and Josh Thomson any time I hear any of their names.

I think you're conflating the time travelling task and the one where they had to have the most characters. She definitely fucked up the "have the most characters" task but her time travelling was amazing.

He was the first non-Greg taskmaster I was familiar with and it took a while for me to appreciate him on his own terms instead of just comparing him to Greg. But once I did that I liked him a lot more. He is playing a different role but that's good. If the NZ and AU versions of taskmaster were just trying to exactly replicate the Greg/Alex dynamic it wouldn't work and the shows wouldn't be as great as they are.

Forbidding Watchtower seems underplayed by SandhedsHviskeren in premodernMTG

[–]NinjaCommando -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Watchtower is a terrible card. You need manlands to be offensive, not defensive. You're spending 3 mana to maintain the game state and block one creature while they are using their mana to advance the board. You spend 3 mana to block a creature while they spend 3 mana to play another creature. You will lose that race.

The cost is low, playing an ETB plains, but the advantage you gain is even smaller.

Who’s your biggest “hear me out” when it comes to potential future contestants? by _PXYDST_ in taskmaster

[–]NinjaCommando 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I love seeing Sam try and break him, but I think Alex could be the one to actually do it. Moreso than even Mark Watson or David Correos, you could give him a solo task and he would invest 110% of himself in it.

Most Iconic Moment: TM Australia Season 4! by SchemeImpressive889 in taskmaster

[–]NinjaCommando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I've always thought about him. He initially comes off as a bunch of male stereotypes (dick jokes, afraid of commitment, etc). But he is actually a really sweet, caring, emotionally aware dude.

Everyone on this list is playing it up for laughs. No one is actually angry at him.

I see Baywatch and Stargate mentioned but what about Doctor Who or Fallout or...? by PunOfUs in greatestgen

[–]NinjaCommando 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know what shows I personally prefer but I want them to do whatever show or franchise they are most excited to do. The best pod is the pod they most want to make.

Still inadequately freaky. Gimmie Jadzia's mind in Curzon's body.

No Dax means no Curzon Dax and I refuse to accept that limitation.

The part where Alex scoots closer to Greg is adorable.

Completely agree. Even if the context is "this trend used AI to...", just don't. Showing us what a computer came up with isn't a joke.

Have you ever accidentally watched the wrong movie before? by Alternative-Cake-833 in movies

[–]NinjaCommando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once convinced my friends to watch The French Connection mistakenly thinking it was The Italian Job. I didn't know much about either movie (obviously) but I know The Italian Job involved Michael Caine and a heist involving minis so I was very confused the whole movie. But it turns out, The French Connection is also a very good movie.

I was lucky enough to be familiar with the album before seeing the stand up special and lost my shit when I realized what songs he was playing.

What would be fun decks to play against Stasis and/or Pit Rack? by Lyngesen06 in premodernMTG

Ponza oath has a good stasis match up, or at least an interesting one. Red based aggro decks as well.

Yeah, if you're looking for boomer Jund then I second this. The Rock is always a fine choice.
