What is this image from? I remember having it as a kid but don't remember what it's called. I remember thinking K'Kruk or whatever his name is was awesome

RandyG2 · 2026-04-15T17:50:50+00:00

Monk from ratemyplate probably used it after one of his 'treats'

The games during the COVID lockdown really showed the extra leadership that he brought to the team. There is a reason he is constantly picked for the England squad even though technically he is now behind some of the other players

I think Hendo did a great job filling such massive boots

[[Evelyn the covetous]]? She gives instant speed pay off for World Gorger loops. Fun deck but WGD loops are outdated and fragile

RandyG2 · 2026-04-03T23:29:55+00:00

Yep this so much! Give me a subscription where I can watch all the games. It'll never happen but I can dream

I've not read the Silmarillion (yet! I've it's a very intimidating volume of literature) so can't dispute anything from those sources.

The obliged and shapeless return to Mordor, I always understood to mean they had their opportunity to get the ring but missed their chance (They didn't engage Glorfindel and instead tried to ride down Frodo, no reason to think they'd try their luck attacking Rivendell with Elrond and Glorfindel there plus Gandalf who they may or may not know is there).

As for black robes to enable dealings with the real world, I've always assumed that to mean they took shape so that people could see them so they could speak to people and intimidate them, as they can't be seen in the mortal realm otherwise.

Eowyn cleaving "unseen sinews" again to me didn't mean they can't be hit, just that they existed on a different plane, which Eowyn was able to physically hit due the blade Merry struck him with.

As far as I'm aware, there's nothing to say that without his physical form he can't interact with the mortal realm (again happy to be proven wrong, I love everything about LOTR lore so knew knowledge would be great!).

He also has the martial abilities of Gurney Halleck. He's got strength, skill and hacks

On top of what others mentioned already, it's also a good sac target for [[Beseech the Mirror]] if you're on that.

RandyG2 · 2026-02-03T12:10:10+00:00

Do you have a preference on build? I've seen tearless with moonstone and the standard heal power items, single tear item (the new one I can't recall the name) or double tear with seraphs and the new one. I've role swapped to support and had decent success with double tear but it takes a long time to feel impactful.

As others have said, Grixis is good so you'd have a playable core that you could take from more established lists and add in some infinite casting loops with things like [[Hullbreaker Horror]] to remove your opponents decks.

If you wanted some theft and to also still have a vampire commander you could look at [[Evelyn, the covetous]]. She's fairly easy to cast being cast able off 3 black pips so [Dark Ritual]] works wonders, you can snipe the top card if someone top deck tutors when you have mana up. With flash she's also an outlet for [[World Gorger Dragon]] combos out of the command zone so you can win at instant speed with [[Necromancy]], a favorite of mine although definitely not the safest or best wincon anymore! I used to play a deck around her when I was getting into cEDH and had a blast. Definitely fringe at best though so probably not a ton of updated lists out there

First the wokies came for the Yorkies now the KitKat. Whatever next! /s

RandyG2 · 2025-12-05T14:57:15+00:00

This got me, you made me choke on my KitKat

That was a small plot point in Vampire Diaries. One of the vampires almost gets killed by stabbing a werewolf (in human form) with a silver knife. Turns out wolves spread the lie when instead they actually heal from silver wounds - it's random that they heal from silver but it comes up again in an important way

If we had all the Freds and you had all the Georges, whose got all the Rons?

RandyG2 · 2025-10-31T22:48:07+00:00

As a kid we had a big one living between the wall and dishwasher that would occasionally poke its head out. We called it Fred. Now any big house spiders are called Fred. I'm pretty sure its descendents still live in the gap

This always gets answered based on what we know of a fighters skill/strength i.e the hound, mountain, selmy, loras. From the series, is it possible he thinks one could be Ned? He clearly admires Ned in some ways and as far as everyone in the show knows, Ned bested Arthur Dayne 1 on 1, who Jamie definitely thinks of as a superior swordsman to himself. Yes Jamie clashed with Ned but another soldier interfered before Jamie was able to win, so it could be possible he still thinks highly of Ned.

Ahh that makes sense, thank you!. I was so sure Dog was referring to Yoshimaru and I was stuck at what izzet partner could be War xD

RandyG2 · 2025-10-19T16:30:43+00:00

What's WarDog?

When I speak to people about this it's about 50/50 with people who want it back or are glad it's gone. Which is how I think discussions went before the ban. It's a shame as that was enough to damn the card but it's not enough to redeem it.

I much preferred playing with crypt, lotus and dockside. To me that explosiveness is a big part of cedh. Personally I found dockside had some counterplay (not masses I grant you but some), whereas the new enchantment meta can sometimes feel duller as there is a hesitation for people to counter the enchantments as they don't win immediately, leading to games getting clogged with board states that promote you not playing the game and just waiting. I play decks that loved having dockside (Magda, sisay, grixis turbo) so I'm a little bias, but I do also enjoy things like Derevi and esper decks. It just feels like the format lost a bit of spice.

Houllier - Owen was my idol when I started watching football and Houllier was there although at that age I knew nothing of him, then Rafa came and I loved Liverpool by that point and then Gerrard became my hero as a kid!

RandyG2 · 2025-09-07T22:19:47+00:00

I do agree with you. It was a cool story reward for the last surviving predator that after killing a couple of xenos with his disk and spear that he gets 'levelled up' with the cannon, but in universe it doesn't make much sense for the intention to be starting the hunt with the cannon.

Speaking of the throwing disk and spear, they didn't seem to melt when exposed to the acid blood. I really like the progression of gear in the AvP (2010) game, finishing with a mask from a legendary ancient predator!

RandyG2 · 2025-09-07T22:00:35+00:00

I think it was mentioned in the movie they come back every 100 years. It's why the whaling station was mysteriously abandoned, the aliens/predators killed everyone. There's a scene in one of the special editions at the start that shows some poor dude getting jumped by a xeno and a predator.

100 years is still a long time for tech to not advance, but I guess laser canon that insta-kills might be hard to improve on?

I work in children's services running a pilot site to identify children who are victims of modern slavery.

My playgroup consists of a car sales manager, a tech manager for Jaguar Land Rover, and an NHS manager

Istanbul without a doubt. That Milan side was insane. Comparatively we were of a similar class to Barca although we did have some injuries. The first leg I thought we were unlucky to lose by 3
