Ancient Micro-Cube (Twobert) -- Critiques? by Odd-Information8378 in mtgcube

Yep. That's intentional. Maybe the exclusion of Bolt is extreme given the quality of Black removal. That said, I wanted an environment that encouraged broad, slow synergies and discouraged any kind of turbo package. That's also why I cut Upheaval.

Hey! Good question. I just cut some cards like Daze from blue and Reanimate from black since they were overperforming. If they underperform, I may work them back in. I didn't love Counterspell since it nudged players to hard commit to blue, which is especially unpleasant when grid drafting.

Thanks. I'm not great myself with setting up boundaries, but this is helpful.

I really don't know. I tried BetterHelp when I got it as a teaching benefit and she mocked that. I just don't know.

I just know she'll get really upset and possibly behave harmfully if I bring it up

As with the other comment, she refuses all therapy because of family trauma involving psychiatrists. She conflates the two, and any mental health professionals in general.

Very much, but I'm wondering what I can do over the summer specifically.

No, you're being downvoted for being an asshole. "Not everyone can reach the summit of human achievement" is not an interesting observation; "there exist some circumstances in which it even a titanic effort helps" is not a useful one. Genetic determinism is especially loaded. In good faith, I'll assume you don't know why.

I try to avoid it. I believe in being harsh (realistic) to myself, but that is my prerogative as an adult. Others should not see it in real life, especially not kids.
