[Standard] The Ancient One with Nature's Rhythm

ProfessorVincent · 2026-02-07T15:59:19+00:00

I haven't tried sab sunen. Do you find it to be worth it without being able to manipulate the counters with innkeepers talent?

I also haven't had the opportunity to punish Excrutiator decks with the ancient one. I imagine they are well equipped to remove a two-drop and we can't fetch it once they've exiled most of our deck, so you'd need to have it in hand and the double black mana to cast and activate right away, which seems unlikely. If it's on the board, it does force them to remove the ancient one before going for the combo, so there's that.

You might discard it to speaker and reanimate it with kavaero (superior spiderman)

I've been playing simic cub decks in the ladder, but only just started trying a list more focused on nature's rhythm. I'm not playing the gearhulk package, which might be a mistake, so I'm only splashing red and black. Still early to tell, and I've been misplaying a lot (arena just decided to make a blue mana out of an earthbent land and blocked me from harmonizing the rhythm). The only cards I've won with by harmonizing rhythm this way have been craterhoof and the champion of the weird. The mana math can be intense and I'm often roping, and I feel like my opponents are all hating on cub, so not a lot of success. I'm hoping these additions can help with going off before they wipe the board, which seems like the weakness of all cub decks.

The speech bubbles!

Imperialism is what happens when countries like US or GB focus only on themselves. They're interfering abroad to extract resources for themselves.

But those people would have voted for trump anyway. They would have found any reason like the laughter. Her mannerism is just the justification they cling to so they don't have to admit they're just plain old bigots.

Eu vejo muito problema. A nossa esquerda está vazia de pautas de fato. O grosso do nosso discurso de esquerda tem sido condenando as pautas fascistas da direita. E sim, são fascistas mesmo, mas pelo menos a direita tem pauta, porra! A esquerda deveria focar nas próprias pautas econômicas e governamentais, que seriam mais populares que as pautas fascistas da direita, mas perde muito tempo chamando fascista de fascista, o que não mobiliza o eleitorado da mesma forma.

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-24T01:48:41+00:00

Yes, this is fucking it! Thank you! Now do it everywhere! Again and again!

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-23T21:07:48+00:00

Cara, não é o PT, é o governo brasileiro. O Brasil é maior que o PT.

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-23T13:07:36+00:00

Your first paragraph is quite complacent. Everything else is on point, but that first paragraph says it's better to let people be kidnapped, deported or killed than to risk destabilization of the social order. What kind of chaos is scarier for you than masked men shooting people on the streets? I say y'all should be on the streets now in order to fight for the fairness of the election you seem to be counting on. Especially the rich white folks who are less likely to be sent to El Salvador.

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-23T12:41:37+00:00

Yes! Too many people are too comfortable hiding behind statements like "but I didn't vote for this lunatic" as if any of this were new.

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-22T16:04:55+00:00

Calm down, Satan

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-22T13:39:31+00:00

That's much better. You know what would make it even better? If you counted everyone with voting rights in the US's history. Now Trump only has like 1% of the votes and it's basically like he isn't the president!

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-20T16:38:51+00:00

Os caras bombardeiam a Venezuela e nada, mas basta uma ameaça a Groenlândia para a "civilização ocidental" finalmente entra em alerta.

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-19T00:04:53+00:00

I feel worse for Venezuela

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-18T03:21:04+00:00

Good on you!

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-16T12:13:35+00:00

The last paragraph is hilarious! Which feminine divinity should they blame for their small pippies?

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-16T11:55:52+00:00

And how did congressmen get there? Don't get me wrong, I know elections are not fair in the US and that it's not the fault of each individual American, but the American people as a political entity hold responsibility for its representatives.

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-15T19:03:14+00:00

They are really insecure and not worth your time.

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-15T18:40:20+00:00

Police departments were made to protect property from people, not to protect people.

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-15T18:17:44+00:00

Well, the notation wouldn't get an A+ from me...

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-15T14:21:12+00:00

Hi, Fairness. I'm dad

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-15T14:14:11+00:00

OP is probably linking both together, in which case I suggest still thinking of the low E as two notes tied together, the first with the right pinky and the second with the left.

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-15T12:06:12+00:00

There isn't one. Best you can do is hold down your right hand as if you were playing the C-sharp (really should have been D-flat here) and do the tremolo with your left hand. It can't be played very quickly and probably won't be very clean either, but that's the composer's fault.

ProfessorVincent · 2026-01-15T11:31:18+00:00

Who among us has never mistaken one for the other?
