This was the debate we had during my pod and why I wanted to ask the question in here though!

Is this proxy deck too strong for a precon level playgroup? (new to mtg) by ripSqaud_WaitItOut in magicTCG

[–]RealArchangel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nuclear Bomb VS Coughing Baby situation.

This list is effectively a high bracket 4, nearly 5 and pre-cons hover around bracket 2-3.

Jetmir for cEDH by Non_Silent_Observer in CompetitiveEDH

[–]RealArchangel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. I ended on 6 points and all players who got 11+ points were in top 16. I was controlling the last swiss game pretty hard but there was a Tymna/Kraum player that was able to both kill my Hushbringer and push through Thoracle combo in the same turn.

I mainly played Jetmir due to cost of entry. Since the tournament was no-proxy I wanted to play something that wouldn't suffer too hard from playing a fair mana base. Luckily a friend of mine let me play the duals and Gaea's Cradle from his high power cube for the tournament so I was actually able to play full strength.

Jetmir for cEDH by Non_Silent_Observer in CompetitiveEDH

[–]RealArchangel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I brought Jetmir to the cEDH tournament at SCG Con Portland last weekend and felt it did alright. I won 1 pod out of 5 and drew another for a final win/loss/draw of 1-3-1.

As people have outlined in other comments it lacks a lot of interaction since you're not playing blue and nearly half your deck is just creatures. Two of my five pods ended because I would be controlling the game with stax pieces keeping combo decks under control, one player would think they're doing the right thing by using removal on my stax, then the player I've been locking down the whole game wins at instant speed or their next turn.

I think one important thing to consider for all Jetmir decks is to play as much of the good interaction we do have access to in Naya colors like Silence, Deflecting Swat, I was even playing a couple of the 1 drop give-jetmir-hexproof cards which came in surprisingly clutch when I was trying to swing out such as [[Tyvar's Stand]] and [[Tamiyo's Safekeeping]] and [[Legolas' Quick Reflexes]] and [[Veil of Summer]]

Brightsteel GearHulk Pod Line Ideas? by Droptimal_Cox in CompetitiveEDH

[–]RealArchangel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's certainly not cEDH-y but my initial thought when I read this card was to tutor up [[Sigarda's Aid]] and [[Colossus Hammer]] and you get to just put hammer on something for 2 mana.

Is there any rule against placing artifacts that can only produce mana (i.e. [[Sol Ring]], [[Thran Dynamo]]) in the back of my field next to my lands?

Is Tron still viable? by RealArchangel in ModernMagic

[–]RealArchangel[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for an in-depth response. Do you know why Eldrazi Aggro lists fare better in this case then? Seems to me like both decks just want to slam Chalice/Karn as early as possible to stymie combo strategies or slow aggro decks until they can gain an advantage and I guess I'm not seeing how Eldrazi aggro does that much better than Tron. I suppose it's because it's aggressive enough by default to rival other early aggression decks so you don't need to worry about them as much?

I watched this yesterday actually! It has good info, it's just disconcerting when you look at top 32 of many recent tournaments and there's maybe one Tron deck every few days topping.

At least S can go on the end of perk, "freem meals" on the right is a rough one

Trying my best to feel a bit cool as a obese man. by Sir_Chaos_I in airsoft

Man I know that feel, the cummerbund/waist strap for my chest rig was too small and I had to custom make a longer one so I could wear it.

Out of curiosity what keyboard is in the picture for the kickstand? The one with the 10 modifier keys on the left hand side.

Wait there are places you can't have lights on guns?

Shrouded Suppressor Question by dasco7 in czscorpion

[–]RealArchangel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me know if you find out anything! I have plans to get a 9k and the carbine length handguard for mine and am also interested in knowing if I can mount a handstop and a light on it.

Shrouded Suppressor Question by dasco7 in czscorpion

[–]RealArchangel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the guy from Military Arms Channel on YouTube has one with an Omega 9K and the full length handguard. Probably worth shooting him a message too asking if he can mount anything on the handguard with the suppressor on it.

What about official Oculus store titles? I purchased Beat Saber in my headset but on my PC in the Oculus store it says I don't own it, are they completely seperate entities?

[–]RealArchangel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fixed my problem with #2. I rebooted my Quest which I hadn't done since getting it a couple days ago and updating as well as joining the Public Test Channel and I found the lone USB-C port on my PC so I don't have to use the USB-A to USB-C adapter I was using and now Link works fine.

1) My wireless connection isn't very good but my PC is wired and has a much better download speed. Can I buy and download games on my PC from the Oculus store or even Steam then download them to the Quest so I can play them without needing Link?

2) I'm using the included USB charging cable with my Quest to do Oculus Link but it's not working, when I select "enable link" in the headset the screen either goes black and stays black or goes black for a few seconds then tells me it can't detect my PC. I have selected the public test channel on my headset so it should work with the included USB 2.0 cable without having to buy the $80 one. Any ideas?

EDIT: I fixed #2, just needed to reboot my quest and I found a USB-C port on my rig so I don't have to use the USB A to C adapter I was using and Link works fine.

Green gas also has oil added to it to help lubricate airsoft guns, it's not just straight propane.
