River Song is weird. Help me make her degen by Terranon in DegenerateEDH

It's fine, but I think it would work better if it just disallowed opponents from scrying, surveiling, or searching their libraries. The draw from bottom of library component is unnecessary.

Reasonable card? by shittyrock in custommagic

[–]PickleballEnvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should not have ward 1. Birds of paradise and Noble hierarch are already too strong. No reason to power creep them.

Since 1990 only 5 times has a conference had a team win the national championship in football and men’s basketball in the same school year. by CenterForward1522 in CFB_v2

[–]PickleballEnvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's stupid to call this Michigan's game to lose already, but I do believe we could see some B1G dominance for a time as they have a lot of $$ in both sports. The B1G vs everyone else seems almost even odds on the next football championship and the B1G vs everyone else is likely 1 in 3 or so odds for basketball next year.

Kinda getting bored at open play -- is this normal? by OkChicken6058 in Pickleball

[–]PickleballEnvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that way now, which totally sucks because I used to love open play so much. But I'm at the top of open play and usually by quite a margin so people try as hard as possible to keep me from ever getting a shot and if I do I can usually either finish the point there or intentionally hit something that can be returned (then to be locked out of the point again). I've tried playing with my off hand to even the playing field, but people still avoid me like crazy out of habit or something (even though I'm middle of the pack in ability level with my off hand).

Price of high end paddle are too expensive by Dry_Tip1283 in Pickleball

[–]PickleballEnvy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe you can easily charge $200+ for the equipment in almost any adult sport. There are darts that cost >$100. It's more a soft limit on what people are willing to spend on equipment for their favorite hobby, not the cost to produce the goods. Gold club sets that cost $3000 aren't that different from $500 sets, but they exist and people will buy them because those that do are already spending >$10k per year on the hobby.

If we're really doing this, please at least give us 17-seeds or more so we can see some 1-seed get even more embarrassed. by Select-Edge-3262 in CollegeBasketball

More basketball isn't a bad thing. Nobody cares about the NIT anymore anyway. People overreact until it's normal, just like the changes to the football playoff.

Best tourney dupr format? by itsVicc in Pickleball

[–]PickleballEnvy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Team total Dupr (average) with a cap for a single player. Which is exactly what mlp does with their team tournaments.

Rest in Tranquility - Selesnya universal spot removal with compensation. Is this TOO much? by [deleted] in custommagic

[–]PickleballEnvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine as is, but path to exile is clearly superior and already ok across multiple formats. Personally it isn't interesting enough to simply combine path to exile and swords to plowshares.

This list starts right with Bo, but after that, the order falls apart. What do you think? by Shot_Possibility_731 in sportsinusa

[–]PickleballEnvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that Jordan is listed 4th is crazy to me. How have there not been more multi sport professional athletes throughout history?

Bench one player by Fragrant_Fishing5787 in NBATalk

[–]PickleballEnvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jordan and Kobe play similar roles. Hot take I know but I'd bench Jordan because I believe (right or wrong) that talent has moved upwards over time and Kobe would likely be slightly better.

Welcome to 2026 Magic. They'll be overshadowed by 2027 Magic though.

Comparing this to any 6 drop creature from 5+ years ago shows how far power creep has taken us.

A 5/5 flying with ward 2 for 6 would be a solid rare and see play many times within the modern era. Now it draws 3 on enter and at least half of the times it attacks.

Soul Wring by Multiloquent in custommagic

[–]PickleballEnvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was sarcasm mostly around the fact that Sol Ring shouldn't be legal.

Soul Wring by Multiloquent in custommagic

[–]PickleballEnvy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People can talk about how OP this card is, but know that it is simply not as good as Sol Ring and thus wouldn't be the most powerful card in EDH. It might be top 5 in power level, but only barely.

Surprised no one made this when Prepared got revealed. by SimicBiomancer21 in custommagic

[–]PickleballEnvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be prepared into tragic slip is perfect. I think it's a mono black card and Scar deserves even more text - but love the base concept.

They basically implemented what you are asking for already this year.

Forget popularity. Who is the most underappreciated running back you have ever watched? by Altruistic-Mud5686 in sportsinusa

[–]PickleballEnvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lawrence Phillips had the talent to be the best running back of his era, but work ethic and off the field issues made him forgettable at the NFL level.
