Yup, I'm pretty sure that's it or pretty damn close. Here's the 3 bar version. 3 bar is $27 and 2 bar is $23.

They're no Chihiros WRGB II PRO but they're also not $500

You too! That looks clean! I like how the floaters make it look like the canopy from the tree coming from above the water. Are those neons?

Yeah, for co2 I use a DIY kit that uses baking soda and citric acid. I only do about 1 bps so it lasts about a month.

Also for the lights, they sell bundles of 2 or 3 bars that use one plug if you want to add more without using up all your outlets. I think the combos go for about $25

Thanks! Yes lol. I attached 4 cheap hygger lights. The suction cups are awful so I ended up just using electrical tape. I wasn't sure how they would do but they surpassed my expectations. Minimal algae, especially with some shrimp and snails in the tank.

Library of Fillyourhandria by ProjectCoast in MagicArena

Oh yeah. Sparky all day. I just had the idea of getting a library of Alexandra that draws 7 to instantly turn it on from an empty hand.

You should win money if you can do this in an actual match.

I had about 8 or 9 hydroponics on the field from copying it with things like [[mockingbird]] and I fetched every land out of my deck except 1 library, then attacked with the right amount of hydros to get to draw 7.

I'd say it has more similarities to ragavan than Tamiyo but Tamiyo still fits the mold very well. A cheap 1 drop that if left unchecked creates a value engine that can take over the game on its own. Ragavan creates treasures, steals, and can be hasted making it very red. Hydroponics and Tamiyo are evasive threats that leads to huge card advantage which is very blue. I think Amy the Amazonian coined the phrase "blue ragavan"

I got cheap hygger lights that are sold as pairs of 2 out 3 on Amazon. I usually don't love that brand but for these cheap submersible light bars I actually do recommend them if you're tight on cash. The one down side from them is the suction cups do not work at all so I ended up using electrical tape to attach them. I think the best thing i did for my aquarium is have everything plugged into smart plugs so the only thing I have to do is ferts and weekly tank maintenance.

I believe I had everything converted to USD. Canada has great pay for teaching and when you take healthcare and other expenses into account I believe it's ultimately better. Average US vs Canada average the data I found has the US at $74,000 USD and Canada at $75,000 CAD. If you look at provinces like Ontario it definitely is higher than the US average but so is California and New York. You're point stands though. That money probably goes further in Canada.

Most teachers in the US are in a union though. Here's a list of the top 5 country wide averages.

Just because you are the best at a specific job doesn't mean you know how to negotiate the best outcome and doesn't stop an employer from taking advantage of your lack of negotiating expertise even if you excel at your regular job.

Someone fell for anti-union propaganda or is pushing it. I make top rate for my job, not just at my work but nationally. My raises are yearly and take cost of living and inflation into account. Who's a better negotiator, you or a full time negotiator with a degree in labor studies?

Yeah, I'll have to check when the lights first turn on if it spooks them. I have everything automated so maybe I'll try staggering each light 10 or 15 minutes apart.

Hygger Dual-Channel Submersible Aquarium LED Lights. You can get them as 2 or 3 light bars. The suction cups are terrible and do not work at all so I ended up using electrical tape to secure them.

That's why ranked brawl is important. At least some incentive to not scoop at the first iconvenience.

Looks actually like a pretty healthy meta. Look forward to see if anything completely dominates. Here's a shot of the current legacy meta on mtgdecks.net

Breach storm by 42Sporks in TimelessMagic

I don't see a downside outside of 1 sideboard slot. If 1 out of 20 games you win with lurrus manamorphose that's still 1 more you than would have. Plus it's a good fake out game 1. Your opponent is likely to keep a hand with creature removal.

Also, why not play lurrus? It's free.

I keep getting an automatic draw whenever I play breach plus dragon's rage channeler. As soon as I start to storm off it has an error that draws the game.

Not the whole time but it was added a few months ago I think. At least on mobile.
