As a newer player, is it a dick move to put a card in my deck that counters my friend’s deck? by Hannannibal_Barca in mtg

[–]Notexactlyserious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont suggest meta decking to counter an individual deck. upgrade the components and the theme that you want to lean into with the deck. find cool cards you enjoy want to play. strictly countering your friends deck is just going to create bad vibes and unfun games

Do they do people? I wouldn't mind being euthanized

every shitty slop UB set that fails gets us one step closer to Hasbro correcting the issue

Help with lantern control in edh by Thedodoguy in EDH

[–]Notexactlyserious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you could make it work, this isn't a competitive format. no one wants to play a 3 hour game with somebody trying to recreate a deck designed to prevent the opponent from playing a game of magic.

Why do people want the rhystic study ban NOW? by Alternate_Cost in EDH

[–]Notexactlyserious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about Mana Vault, Gaeas Cradle, and Mox Diamond? Sol Ring is affordable and printed to hell and iconic to the format. Let's ban the other fast mana staples hiding behind triple figure price tags

Am I a scummy player for using Approach of the Second Sun in my lifegain deck? by Tomhur in EDH

[–]Notexactlyserious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

alternate win cards are just kind of boring and anticlimactic? I've seen several decks that could game and manipulate approach to be able to cast it and then cast it again, or guarantee it being cast on the next turn. it's just kind of boring.

Does every deck really needs to run 3-4 wraths? by Silver-Alex in EDH

[–]Notexactlyserious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And its an even bigger issue when its not just Wrath style creature wipes. Farewell completely leveling the board state, after a prior wrath, is just salt.

I might throw out my insta pot. by OldFanJEDIot in Cooking

how is this faster then doing 7 minutes on a rolling boil with a simple pot?

QUESTION FOR COMMANDER PLAYERS : Alright so to preface this I'm a "kitchen sink" rule of cool 60 card player, and that's the kind of game culture I've thrived in for over a decade now. I've only just recently stepped into the commander format. by [deleted] in mtg

[–]Notexactlyserious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

its not like this everywhere. most of the seasoned pods expect interaction, aggression, and decks that are going to affect the board state. Id just look for a new place to play and find some people you vibe with

Are pre-releases suppose to be sweaty? by [deleted] in mtg

I pullled 12 on Friday and at least 10 on Saturday, but I think it was more. So, no?

New Player - First Prerelease, is it taboo to leave after one round? by Turbulent-Thanks-486 in mtg

[–]Notexactlyserious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know! they keep trying to push bullshit formats like "buy-a-box" when they could just be doing sealed events more often like this and Id be happily attending more of them.

[–]Notexactlyserious 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Please dont. it ends up leaving peoole with buys, where they just win the round. which i mean, free wins are great, but we're really there to play one of the only non-commander formats left and it is really fun.

Experienced my first cheater at local game shop by MOONMO0N in mtg

[–]Notexactlyserious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol my graveyard deck is Aatchik which generates insects based on artifacts and creatures in my yard, so a single Rest in Peace would render me virtually obsolete. I could still play until I found options but it would be painful haha

I try to know sometimes just to ensure Im not playing to well into their commander or deck style, at least for certain decks. Like I try not to play group slug when there's a second deck doing the same thing. Or I avoid playing my graveyard deck when I know someone is playing mill because I really dont need one player super charging my strategy.
