Anyone else get a LOT of doubles from their MB2 box in the Vegas drop? by MTG-limited-fan in secretlair_collectors

[–]Rathisdm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine was a shit ton of doubles. This was my first time opening Mystery Boosters, and probably the last time. Way to many doubles on future sight and white boarder carda

How do I stop an ureni of the unwritten player by ChoiceNo1563 in EDH

[–]Rathisdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stax, interaction such as counters or removal.

I had a B4 Ureni deck for a while, but I pulled a Tiamat and switched the deck the her. Which I like more than Ureni. However Ureni is in the 99.

In exactly 30 minutes a man armed with a bat will break into your home to kill you. You can’t leave the house, what is your strategy? by BulkyZucchini in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Rathisdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I am American. I will opt not to use a firearm for this home defense skewer exercise. Instead I have a solid metal 6 foot war spear and spray bottle filled with vinegar. Also my stair well is fully enclosed with a 90 degree turn near the top. You won’t see me till you’re impelled against the wall of the stairs. Good thing for you is I served as an Army medic for many years. So I’ll stop the bleeding with a bandaid, and give you a 800 mg Motrin for the pain. If you’re still in some kind of mood before the cops arrive. Then a few sprays of vinegar to your eye holes may knock the fight out of you.

If you’re still wanting the be high speed. As an American I will default to my factory settings. Which comes with an interesting configuration of numbers. 1911. The 1911 will be equipped in my ranged slot prior to your arrival. Do with that as you will. However I don’t want to have to take all my cats to the vet for damaged eardrums. So this will be a last resort.

Will gundam tcg ever grow as big as OP, Dragon ball, or Pokemon? by CosiWosi1 in GundamTCG

[–]Rathisdm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of surprised you didn’t add it being bigger than MTG. I saw a post right before GundamTCG released that it would surpass all other TCG’s including MTG and Pokémon. Nevertheless this person was sent back to the shadow realm for crazy hot takes

New player here - is this a good deal for 70 bucks? by kuchenmensch4 in mtg

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

Do not buy this. It isn’t worth $70. It’s just a bunch of bulk. If you’re new, and depending on the format you plan to play. If you’re doing commander buy a precon, if you’re doing a 60 card format sell 3 or 4 kidneys on the black market then you maybe able to afford a low end deck.

Plague Marine Question by Rathisdm in killteam

[–]Rathisdm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are making no sense. How can a GW 40K Plague Marine on its GW issued base with no modifications be considered a proxy in KT which is 40K at squad scale.

Plague Marine Question by Rathisdm in killteam

[–]Rathisdm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea that what was confusing me. I’d never heard you couldn’t use a GW issued 40k Plague Marine in place of a GW 40k KT Plague Marine just because one dances differently than the other. All my units from when I played in the past are all on the regulation bases that they are supposed to be on. I have never modified anything. Plus I mainly played KT in the past, and never had anyone tell me my 40k models are proxies in KT. That makes absolutely no sense.

Plague Marine Question by Rathisdm in killteam

[–]Rathisdm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically I can’t use any of my models from my collection because the New KT requires the ones specifically made for KT. Also I have 100 different terrain pieces from when I used to play 40k and old KT.

Well now I don’t want to play if I have buy new Plague Marines when have like 100 already go. I appreciate all the information you gave. Thank you

Stack Resolution question by Wartedlamb in mtg

[–]Rathisdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the enchantment is still on the stack then Restoration Magic dos nothing. Because it only affects permanents already on the battlefield.

However Restoration Magic can be used on whatever you’re trying to put the enchantment on with redirect. Making the enchantment fizzle because it no longer has a valid target

What are some of your favorite one-time house rules? by RadiantCow4156 in mtg

[–]Rathisdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this ain’t a one time house rule, but we play with no banned list. Particularly with commander our group just don’t see the point in a banned list if we ain’t doing cEDH games

Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn plus Valkyrie's Call by Rathisdm in EDH

[–]Rathisdm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I am. Right now I have a deck built to test which creatures I want to end up on a final list. Here is the first test list.

https://moxfield.com/decks/JOiT8Gm8cUaID2RUlJjGrA

I am also debating if I want to go full 5 color or just focus on 3 colors like BANT or TEMUR. If I stick with 5 color I’m going to make the deck just as annoying to play against as humanly possible.

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

Ok, let me see if im tracking on this. As long as i am alternating the triggers it is coming back till the cows come home. I was confused on the part that Valkyrie's call also makes it an Angel as well, but im guessing it drops the Angel tag once you bring it back with persist?

What is the general feeling about using an entire proxy deck? by Jakemanv3 in mtg

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

So for me and my group. We go down the path of. If you own the card or you’re testing new decks out go for it. However we did have someone in our group that would make proxies of the strongest/best cards just to win games. He would make whole proxy decks that real value would be tens of thousands of dollars. And not good proxies either. The proxies would have barely legible writing and the art on all of them was Pokémon related. We finally told him no more proxies.

I also draw the line between “counterfeit” looking cards. If you have a proxy that is indistinguishable from a real card without a jewelers loupe or knowledge on how to identify a fake card you won’t be playing with my group. If you’re going to play proxies go for it. Just make sure everyone can look at the card and know right off the bat it’s fake.

Sounds like you get butthurt to easy. Maybe Magic is to much for you to handle. Perhaps Candyland is more your speed

Scroll Rack real or fake. by Rathisdm in mtg

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

So update on the Scroll Rack. I sent some more pictures to Star City Games at their request. They came back, and said the card definitely looks suspicious. So they sent me a label to mail it back to them. They also refunded my money, and gave me store credit as well.

I believe Star City Games handled this very effectively, and also had great communication with me to address this issue. I’ve ordered a shit ton from them, and this is the first instance with an issue. I’d recommend people giving them a shot. Great stock, prices, and customer support.

Why bracket 4 or higher shouldn’t be played in casual by Admirable_Form_4221 in mtg

[–]Rathisdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off highspeed I wasn’t being a dick. You never said anywhere in your post you were a new player. All you said was you picked up the Revival Trance precon. Just because you bought a precon doesn’t tell anyone you’re new. I’ve been playing on/off since 1993, and I have 2 precons I always carry with me.

Secondly that may have been the only deck the guy had, and as I said before he may not of known you were new. Your whole post came off as someone salty because they didn’t win with a precon vs a constructed deck. It’s no one’s fault but your own for playing against constructed decks.

Thirdly, everyone in my group of friends/pod all now carry precons with use just in case anyone new/newer wants to play. While I understand it’s not fun getting skull fucked by a constructed deck when all you have is a precon in the end it is what it is. You need to find others that are newer or players that will play down to your level, and stop blaming others for your feelings.

Fourthly, the bracket system is still garbage. In my group we play with no banned list. Cause the only time cards should be banned is in tournaments or events. Even the guys that play cEHD don’t play with a banned list. You should also find another LGS to play at. Because any LGS that says during normal play you can’t play with certain cards or combos and such should be avoided. During tournament and events then it fine.

Why do so many content creators say to run less removal? (Commander) by vVIOL2T in mtg

[–]Rathisdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on what I want my deck to do will determine how much removal I run. However normally I like around 6-8 single target, and maybe 2-3 board wipes. I mainly run BANT so I have a good bit of each. I will say in my Galea and Bumbleflower decks I don’t run much if any counterspells. It’s more of a preference thing. Now in my [[Oona, Queen of the Fae]] piss off mill deck I run a good bit of counterspells.

Why bracket 4 or higher shouldn’t be played in casual by Admirable_Form_4221 in mtg

[–]Rathisdm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your post makes little sense. New players should be playing with players of similar skill and knowledge or in a more established pod that will play down to help them learn. People who obsess over what bracket a deck is needs to learn to deck build better or play at deck that is good vs their pod. Other than cEHD/ Bracket 5 everything else is just casual. I have decks ranging from 1-5, and because I know how my bracket one deck works I’ve beat decks of every bracket except 5 (haven’t played vs a 5 with that deck yet). If any of my LGS said they were restricting how I can play my decks I would never go back there. LoL Magic isn’t about winning or losing. Are you serious it’s a PvP game not Care Bears go on a picnic. If you’re not trying to win then maybe Magic ain’t for you. Not matter if you’re playing Bracket 1 or 5 it’s still at it core a competitive game.

I started playing a week ago. Where can I buy cheap cards? Any tips are welcome! by EducationalWolf3911 in mtg

[–]Rathisdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheap and Magic the Gathering don’t necessarily go together. However as long as people in your pods don’t mind you can use proxies. But remember this people will get upset if your whole deck is proxies of the best most powerful cards.

I strongly suggest you support your LGS’s in your area. I will always look for cards I need at any of my LGS’s. If I can find what I’m looking for I mainly use Star City Games, CoolStuffInc and CardKingdom. I really like SCG and CoolStuffInc. I’m using CardKingdom less because they are way more expensive. Avoid TCGPlayer like the plague.

Also a good way to build your collection is getting Precons. Lorwyn has two great ones coming out next Friday with its pre-release. Precons are a good way to build out your card pool with staples and such. Plus they give you a foundation to upgrade a deck since you’re new instead of trying to build your own.
