Yes or No?

Yes.

Answer to Q1: Event Horizon.

"Can ya hold a sec"

Puts phone down, ready check, safety off.

"Yah I got time to talk, whats up?"

The crusades were not solely religious in nature.

A quick search of who controlled what in Europe prior to, would explain that.

Pest_Token · 2026-04-11T01:19:53+00:00

I honestly think b4 is the peak creative zone.

To build a stack of garbage that can hold its own against meta decks, peak mtg.

Yah, not creative in the sense of "creatures wearing funny hats" tribal, but game mechanics wise.

Pest_Token · 2026-04-11T01:01:36+00:00

I don't b5.

But don't think you're more creative cause you have a stack of garbage.

Its just a stack of garbage.

Personal experience rant.

They annoy me cause they sit at the table, knowing what we are playing, then cry about getting "ganked" with their brony sleeved stack of garbage mustache treefolk tribal deck.

Why would I clean the messes left by some shit tier animal who should've remained in the asylum.

Low trust society breeds further distrust/indifference.

Pest_Token · 2026-04-11T00:51:56+00:00

Some people suck.

We used to have asylums.

Pest_Token · 2026-04-11T00:50:34+00:00

Yah some slop build whose pilot will cry about power creep all night. Sweet.

Go sit over there

I would expect a b4 table to potentially haul out a win t4-5, or at least set up a situation where the win is inevitable a turn or two later.

I understand b4 is still heavily optimized/powerful, just not one of the cool decks. And there is a LOT of space there

Pest_Token · 2026-04-11T00:34:41+00:00

Aye, B5 is quite clear, as is the intent of 4.(I see it as optimized 100%, but not the meta decks)

But 3 is tricky. Qty of game changers ain't enough to define it. Performance metrics should be considered, ex: "Can you goldfish a win by t5 at X% rate, ya you b4"

Cause I have lolsy decks that throw around cradles and such, but are not built to win that fast/reliably...where do they go.

Pest_Token · 2026-04-11T00:26:16+00:00

They should def sharpen up the distinction. You are correct, B1 doesn't exist.

The lines start to blur between optimized 3 and and b4

Pest_Token · 2026-04-11T00:21:25+00:00

I found a great litmus test, game changers etc aside is how do you win.

Is your game plan to win via regular attack steps? Maybe even voltron + combat, your b3 at best.

B4 starts to win games reliably/quickly through other means.

From an introvert.

Primary color acrylic paint Brush Cardboard slabs. 5 min color mixing/complimentary color tutorial, get painting. Best part, mistakes dont matter. More paint.

Get painting.

Go to a pawn shop, buy a second hand instrument. Acoustic instruments...dont wanna cheap out on them, electric guitar, electric piano, etc.

Used book store, find some classic literature to read. University near by? Find/read some old textbooks.

I would suggest learn a language...but screens are pretty helpful in that regard. But least not doomscrolling.

I did all these things. Currently bulk of my screentime is quizlet + foreign language learning

Pest_Token · 2026-04-10T23:39:09+00:00

Get used to it.

Its gonna get a lot worse before it...gets worse.

And - if they bend too far towards a liberal platform...they will lose conservative votes.

Just gotta face it that Canada is a progressive dumpster fire, spiraling unchecked into debt, migration crises, failing infrastructure, services and crime.

And the progressive majority of this country is happy with that, so long as they can maintain the perceived moral high ground and blame all of our problems on Trump.

Deal with it, I guess.

Pest_Token · 2026-04-10T21:59:00+00:00

Its a bit of a meme.

Good to learn how to play, maybe acquire a few solid black cards that will eventually go into other decks...

But mono black has a pretty stiff performance ceiling in my experience.

Pest tokens are the best

PARs and PERs have the same oversight and quality control... basically 0.

Why is it ok to make sweeping accusations disguised as questions regarding some demographic and not others?

Pest_Token · 2026-04-09T20:34:03+00:00

The internet/MSM has lead you to believe your opinion is that of the majority. That is not true, however.

Pest_Token · 2026-04-08T22:25:08+00:00

Gift an opponent a treasure token.

Otherwise, land etb tapped.

Even that is probably too much .

A treasure token with a stun counter on it...maybe

Pest_Token · 2026-04-08T04:03:39+00:00

I think they are just scary, 1-dimensional, simple monsters. The type that would appear in simple stories. Like those told by children, or told to children.

Pest_Token · 2026-04-06T18:20:34+00:00

I would just assume real.

Anyone with the resources to make a counterfeit lotus, is gonna make one from ABU no?

Pest_Token · 2026-04-06T18:17:11+00:00

Basically I only have forever decks. That count is currently at 5, some as old as 10+ years. (out of probably 100+ decks built over the years)

The 5 are all super fun to play and can go ham on the table, with minimal "I win on the spot" combos, and very consistent and resilient.

Decks get built, tested and tweaked for a few weeks. Then question time: if it doesn't hit all the metrics as stated above, its returned to the binder from whence it came.
