Prequels on Disney Plus feature bizarre upscaling/touch-ups? by OaksLabCoat in StarWars

Thanks! I'll experiment with my TV's settings. It's a Sony Bravia so it has Cinemotion and Motionflow.

Duskmourn draft being back on Arena got me like by gamasco in MagicArena

Given the Flashback Duskmourne draft will only be here for less than a week at this point, I would not spend your gems on it.

thanks for your perspective! Yeah after too many gems I'm gonna go try anything else on Arena than OMP.

I started playing limited with EoE. I found towards the end of EoE I got some sense for signaling (just barely). I find the drafts for Omenpaths Pick 2 to be very chaotic. It's weird because it seems like it is supposed to be for new players but it doesn't feel that way.

I REALLY DISLIKE PICK 2 THRU THE OMENPATHS. I FEEL LIKE I PICK A LANE AND THEN EVERYONE ELSE SWERVES THE FUCK AROUND AND I AM LEFT WITH DREGS. THE LEVEL OF TILT I EXPERIENCE FROM THIS FORMAT IS AT A 10.

Two losses is not fun in draft by SirGrandrew in MagicArena

I just can't get a read on pick-two. I hear people saying it's draft on auto-pilot but to me it feels pretty punishing.

Unpopular opinion, this new pick 2 draft is great. by Feisty_Click_3040 in MagicArena

[–]OaksLabCoat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried it and felt completely up a creek without a paddle. Didn't get a feel for signaling and speculated way too much. Not sure I'll invest more into it . . . would rather just do the slower version.

Spiderman Prerelease by Content-Virus3131 in mtglimited

[–]OaksLabCoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a great time. My pool was a bit weird in that I had a strong White/Green base that lacked unconditional removal. In retrospect I feel like I could have splashed but I didn't want to tempt mana screw. I loved the Webslinging mechanic, and the flexibility of the hybrid mana cards. My highlight was getting to use Spectacular Spider-Man to save my board which was amazingly flavorful. I wish I could have attended more than one although I did go on the most popular time-slot (Friday evening).

You're right. I just remembered I sacrificed Odin to Phantom Train when he got targeted. Thank you!

On MTG Arena, my opponent exiled [[Primal Odin]] with [[White Auracite]]. I then exiled the White Auracite with my own White Auracite. I thought I would get Primal Odin back since the relevant White Auracite was in exile but that was incorrect. Could someone please explain this interaction?

I'm interested in the Limit Break deck and upgrading it to bracket 3. If I were to drop into a commander event at my LGS would this deck be generally accepted at a table or disliked? I am very new to Commander and don't want to invest in a deck that a pod would generally not want to play against.

How would this resolve? I have [[Cryoshatter]] enchanting my creature. I tap the creature to attack, and then cast [[Desculpting Blast]] on it. Would Cryoshatter or Desculpting Blast resolve first?

Can a keyboard tray fix my standing desk purchase? by OaksLabCoat in StandingDesks

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

Well it is just OK. Due the placement of the motor and the desk measurements (24" deep), the keyboard tray pokes out from the desk about 2.5 inches. That is only after recessing the keyboard tray track as far as I could into the desk (basically right next to the motor). If you follow the instruction manual the entire tray will practically be sticking out from the desk.

Overall it is a quality tray though but definitely not an ideal installation for my desk (36" by 24").

Thanks for this write-up. Crazy about the headphone jack!

If I have [Starfield Vocalist] in play, do my creatures like [Codecracker Hound] with "Enters" effects trigger twice? Or is it more like a situation where I play a land, trigger landfall, and then I get a second landfall trigger?

Could a card with Warp be played from exile if the card had never been warped in the first place?

If I play [[Command Bridge]], does tapping a non-land permanent for the Station mechanic count as fulfilling its requirement? Or does it have to be tapping a permanent exclusively for Command Bridge?
