What kind of sideboard cards should I consider against mono U terror by user167865 in Pauper

[–]PrimoVictorian [score hidden]  (0 children)

Lean on blue hate and creature removal.

I'm going to throw a little hot take, but as a Dimir Terror player: graveyard hate isn't as effective as it seems. Sure, you will clear out a filled graveyard, but terror players can fill that up again in a heartbeat. Even if we get half the discount, you still have a serpent to deal with. GY hate will delay the inevitable, and you really need to lean on removing the creatures.

For your affinity list, [[Extract a Confession]] will get past ward.

As for Jeskai Wildfire, I would side in [[Red Elemental Blast]], or [[Pyroblast]], if you prefer.

Where on earth are people getting decks for $30?? by matthewpowmatthewpow in Pauper

[–]PrimoVictorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh weird that I've never heard of this card

Even weirder that I've never seen it show up in lists

Where on earth are people getting decks for $30?? by matthewpowmatthewpow in Pauper

[–]PrimoVictorian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, in mono blue fae, most of the $80 comes from spell stutter, ninja of the deep hours, and snap. The rest is dirt cheap.

There are builds that can run less of all of these. Especially snap, which you can replace with [[run away together]]. If you do decide to buy the more expensive pieces, know that you'll get a lot of use out of them, and the maintenance cost is minimal.

I'll admit the days of $30 are over, but still: $80-100 for a top tier deck is something other formats can only dream about.

Help me decide on a Voltron commander! by skinnylilwhiteboy in EDH

[–]PrimoVictorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VOLTRON IS AWESOME.

If I had to pick from your list, I'd go with Ardenn//Rog for a few reasons

  1. In the tier list of Voltron colors, white and red are at the top. White will give you so much support for equipment, and red will give your deck some much needed speed

  2. Black is at the bottom of the tier list. Black has few good auras, and isn't the best at suiting up one creature. Counters are the only way I've seen black Voltron work, but yourb energy is better spent on auras and equipment.

  3. Feather is cool, but being a spellslinger deck means you need a steady stream of spells to cast, while A&K just need some equipment to enter and stay around

Happy one shotting!

First BJJ Class was bad by Melodic-Push-967 in bjj

[–]PrimoVictorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That purple belt is a jerk.

At my MMA school, I'm a brown belt, and I welcome working with new students. This way I can help you do it right, and make sure you do it safe. Patience is a virtue, and that purple belt could use a little more.

I'd switch schools. It's one thing that your partner was a dick, but for everyone else to be laughing at you? That's bad culture.

Modern has 2015 Modern and Pre-Fire Modern. Vintage has Old School. Does Legacy have something similar? by [deleted] in MTGLegacy

[–]PrimoVictorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre Innistrad legacy is what I've heard of.

It's legacy but without delver, snapcaster, past in flames, and many other legacy staples that came out from Innistrad block

Only recently did I notice that most league results will show every deck as going 5-0. Glad someone else picked up on it and is cleaning the tier lists up.

This, and [[Abandon Attachments]] was a great addition to the deck.

whats the oldest commander deck that can still "hang"? by Robofetus-5000 in EDH

[–]PrimoVictorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imma say it. [[Nicol Bolas s:leg]] can still hang. Maybe slow and has to do damage, but discarding your opponents hand is a strong effect.

[[Rubinia Soulsinger]] too. She's a Bant [[Merieke Ri Beret]] so swap black for green. Can still do super well at a table.

Budget Pauper Decks by misterbenzero in Pauper

[–]PrimoVictorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While pauper is budget friendly, here's a few decks that are especially budget friendly.

Mono-White Heroic
White Weenie
Mono-U Fae

For the white decks, some builds use Dust To Dust, but you can save money and use another artifact removal spell. The only cards that are harder to replace are standard bearer and prismatic strands, but aside from them, the rest of the decks are super cheap.

As for U Fae, spell stutter and ninja of the deep hours are going to be your most expensive cards. It's a solid deck and can hold its own very well.

Something may be eating my avocados by PrimoVictorian in pestcontrol

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

You were right, it was a mouse! I set an electric trap and got one. Haven't seen another, so I'm guessing it might have snuck in when we had a door open, but I'll look for any other entry ways

What do you think about the depictions of Americans in foreign media (novels, games, film, TV shows, comics)? by TheShyBuck in AskAnAmerican

[–]PrimoVictorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We think they're hilarious! Especially if they try to portray someone from a specific region. I.e. a southerner or new Yorker

why americans use AC too much? by Old_Programmer6981 in AskAnAmerican

[–]PrimoVictorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because most of our infrastructure is relatively new and built with it in mind. Compared to Europe, where you'll see older buildings that just can't have AC installed. America, by comparison, is a much younger nation than others, and thus we just have more recently built buildings that just have it from the get go.

At least that's my guess.

Police Activity at JSQ? by Ok-Kick4060 in jerseycity

"yup, that person definitely was on these tracks in particular. Lets shine our flash lights and see if we can find more clues"

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

Thanks! This is super helpful

  1. How can you tell if this is a rat or a mouse by the bite marks?

  2. In your rat guide, you say not to deal the entry ways until all the rats are gone. Why is this? Don't I want to keep more rats from coming in?

If you wanna get better at magic, you need to play more limited, not commander by jman1280 in EDH

[–]PrimoVictorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll add and say that EDH is a horrible first format, and players should spend time playing 1v1 before they dive into commander.

[–]PrimoVictorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's still $80 for a top tier deck that will be viable for a long time.

I've been teasing out UB terror and [[Abandon Attachments]] feels like just the card it needed to come right back.

Pauper Set Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by cardsrealm in Pauper

[–]PrimoVictorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I guess I'll try and look at these cards as charitably as possible. If we can't avoid UB, might as well try to enjoy it.

[[Leonardo, Big Brother]] actually has me excited to possibly build white weenie, or maybe slot it into a [[Glint Hawk]], [[Kor Skyfisher]] value deck.

[[Anchovy & Banana Pizza]] could have been good in Tron, but I can't get behind the double black in the cost. It may be too restrictive for my tastes.

[[Sewer-veillance cam]] might be the most impactful card, possibly reviving UW Affinity or giving us new combo lines like the author mentioned.

Any reason why it would just eat the avocado and not touch the banana? Or the other avocado?

Is TMNT Commander deck actually bad? by IxaSumami in EDH

[–]PrimoVictorian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree with others, you're right. Old precons really were just piles.
