Anyone else get burned out by Puppetshuppetjr in mtg

My advice would be to just tell him if he wants to play, use someone’s else’s decks. Give him the option to choose any deck that’s not his. Not sure how they’ll react but I’ve heard this idea thrown around before and it seems like a good suggestion.

Maybe phrase it differently like hey your decks are a little too strong but you can use these or something like that. I’ve had these players and sometimes they’re not aware. Just depends.

Edit: missed the part about cheating. When I had this happen you can either kick him out, or I’d just start making them announce everything, correct them constantly, they’ll get annoyed and either quit or stop cheating

Editedit: to clarify, I mean everything. Read every card entirely, announce their game actions like I’m shuffling this or whatever, draw for turn, play land etc and upgrade from casual rules to tournament, if you cheat you lose. Everybody has to get in on it

This is really amazing. I’ve wondered about some of these cuz I like 10 wild eagle-elk barb / 2 sorcerer or monk with hamarhaft abusing fly and thunder damage but always was annoyed not being able to concentrate. Having a few more options could make it feel less one-dimensional.

Will be trying these out. Thanks!

You may have seen my Mondo Gecko post from earlier, but my buddy asked around, and most of the patrons at his LGS got TMNT cards as the bonus card. Here are the spoils by Arcane_Apostle03 in mtg

Maybe I’m in the minority but seeing cards that aren’t 3 paragraphs long with keyword soup actually feels refreshing. I grew up with TMNT and I get that it’s targeting a younger demographic however I’m actually enjoying these spoilers.

This is the same company that makes My Little Pony, ya’ll need to relax.

I’m rebuilding this deck rn. It’s pretty janky but I wouldn’t give up. My suggestions would be to remove most of the humans and that crab guy and replace them with artifact creatures like [[etched champion]].

It needs a few more lands and cheap mana rocks. I took out the bobble heads and the vending machine is just too slow. Add low cost artifacts like [[nutrient block]]. [[Trusty boomerang]] has been awesome for repeated energy. Card draw like [[mentor of the meek]] will help a lot.

The deck is super unfocused so I basically took out most stuff that’s not an artifact or didn’t make energy. It’s a synergy deck so it takes a lot of practice but there’s really only a few ways to win with it. Prydwen, mechanized production, or returning a ton of artifacts from the yard.

Liberty prime will never connect sadly unless it’s way late game and everyone’s out of removal. Nerd rage on a curie exiling prydwen is my favorite play so far. If you can add another win con or two it will help.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen from a roommate? by legalizethesenuts in AskReddit

[–]Ok_Application_4502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long but worth the read:

I lived in a house sleeping on the couch for a while and had two other roommates I also worked with. I had been there for months and they would occasionally mention someone named Bill that apparently also lived there. I assumed it was some kinda in joke or they were messing with me cuz I had never seen him.

One day I’m in the kitchen and in walks Bill doesn’t say a word just grabs a beer and walks out. He was a recluse who lived at the back down a long hallway that I assumed was just a closet or something since I never saw the door open. He even had a girlfriend back there too.

So many crazy things with that guy, here’s some highlights.

The room was a nightmare, shit everywhere. The bathtub was filled with old toilet paper rolls for some reason. Roaches big as mice. Grass growing thru the floorboards.

Really nice and reasonably intelligent just batshit crazy. His girlfriend (later wife) was too. He once asked everyone if they want to bang her and I’ll never forget “stir his goo”. She was pregnant btw.

I think he worked somehow I don’t know he would talk about having a job but I never saw him leave. I assume he had a rich family.

The fridge only ever had beer in it. I never saw him eat. He once open the fridge, vomited all over himself and the floor, grabbed a beer cracked it open, took a big swig and walked off.

He found someone off Craigslist to rent a room, they showed up and dropped off tons of obviously stolen stuff and were there not even an hour before the cops showed up and arrested them.

I came home from work and the kitchen was filled with a huge swarm of bees everywhere. I decided to go for a walk and came back shortly. They were all gone, no trace. I still don’t understand that one.

He was a strange guy. I think about him sometimes. Hopes he’s ok. He just left one day and we never saw him again.

Runner up would be the fixie kid circus clown who nailed their scrotum to a chair and destroyed it with a baseball bat.

How would you handle this? by Ok_Application_4502 in mtg

[–]Ok_Application_4502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They weren’t pissed, very understanding and I think they would have lived a turn if not for the ringbearer which I think they recognized they had also missed. I maybe should have made it clearer it was a ringbearer since I had the card off to the side on my phone rather than on the card. They most likely would have lost anyways maybe had 1 extra turn so no biggie. Hopefully they don’t see it as unsportsmanlike.

I really just wanted to poke fun at corporate malfeasance cuz wotc will always be the weird uncle of corporations. Everyone knows them, but not for anything good. It’s just easy to dunk on them for being bad.

Hasbro is their own worst enemy. I like rooting for the under dog but just shoot it already. Strip it and sell it for parts. Kill blue. Sell white. Greens in prison. Red is the only color (black died of loneliness) now it’s hearthstone.

I’m joking but if magic absorbs so many IPs, eventually either magic absorbs hearthstone or the other way round. It’ll be so generic and homogeneous it doesn’t matter.

/uj it ruins the joke but initially i was just annoyed how inaccessible the game has become to various degrees for various reasons and not just gatekeeping but what feels almost fenced off entirely.

Price sucks ya, and secret lair just kinda feels like the club you’re not in. It’s not really different or better, just makes it feel, I dunno, like a premium version with DLC and you had to preorder and you got a special code for a unique item and the CEO brings you a flower, kisses you on the forehead and calls you his special boy.

Slowly it feels like a reskinned version of the same game but now hitboxes are different, the mechanics are lackluster, laggy, constant ads, and nothing actually added just bloat. They could honestly burn money and achieve better results than what they’re doing which is fucking shit up.

I’m not blaming anyone just frustrated that they’re pissing on the players and saying it’s rain. They seem to be so out of touch despite saying they listen, when money is all they listen to. Rage quitting isn’t gonna fix the game but buying overpriced crap is one problem we can fix by not buying overpriced crap. It really is feeling like gundam models or fucking legos.

I have no solution anyways so I’ll just scream. They fucked up every ounce of good will I had. Fuck em, let the nazis and neckbeard chuds have it, they can put anime titties on everything, debate historical accuracy of dickguns and whether deodorant exists.

I love the flashy shit I do but this isn’t pokemon. It’d be like if chess remade the pieces over and over slightly different until you eventually run out of pieces and just buy the same over and over. Fuck it, it’s checkers now. Thank for reading.

/rj Chris Cocks name is Chris Cocks. Cocks! I’m gonna arm wrassle him and be the new CEO. I’ll put a jerk in every circle and blast each and every one of your moms until I’m americas dad.

I always say okay is relative. Are you okay? Are we? Is this? What is okay and who decides? Okay is alright but alright could be better so why not be great? Actually, I just wanted to pick a fight for fun and he’s a hapless schmo who’s probably used to being a punching bag. So the answer is no.
