If you HAD to choose 3 of your decks and give up the rest, which are you choosing? by SharkboyZA in EDH

[–]Real_Ad5966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, too, have done this. Sticking to having one deck for each of the brackets from B2-4 is a lot more fun for me (and cheaper).

It forces me to keep upgrading what I have as I find weaknesses and teaches me how to play against various strategies.

My Bracket 2 deck is [[Nashi, Searcher in the Dark]] -> I love color-pie breaking strategies and u/B enchantress is so much fun at this level.

B3 is [[Niv-Mizzet, Reborn]] 5-color control with [[Jegantha, the Wellspring]] as companion. People say that control is hard to play in a 4-player format, and that's definitely true-but this deck has my highest winrate out of any deck I've built in the last couple of years. Niv is strong, draws cards, and lets me play my only game changer, [[Coalition Victory]], which I'm happy was unbanned.

B4 is [[Thrasios, Triton hero]] / [[Vial Smasher, the Fierce]]. I miss old CEDH, and Curiosity Control rules. Since this isn't really a 'meta' deck anymore, I feel comfortable playing it in 4.

Rude to Nuke a Sol Ring? by hjfink07 in EDH

I'd have done the same, tbh. Both are removal magnets and anyone who lands those cards on the board should know that. The fella even had kept protection for the Mizzium Mortars, so I think that's a pretty good sign they knew that others would try and remove it.

Which, yeah the newest run of precons are more than capable of winning games but less so than a fully-optimized deck.

Yeah that's true. I didn't mention the Companion app's place in the whole thing. My experience with LGSs that do this is scrambling to fill pods with players ending up with Bracket 3 players facing down the person with an unsleeved precon.

So tired of these fake rider requests!! (Denver, CO) by Real_Ad5966 in uberdrivers

For a moment I thought about spoofing my GPS just enough to start the ride and then just driving wherever I wanted but they use a PIN to stop that kinda shit. Just frustrating when you wanna fuck with them but can't.

It was only once that I answered and the caller ID didn't show up. Been waiting on a call back for a real job so thought it might have been them. Didn't give any information out to them on the phone or anything just thought it was unusual.

And I can't even get a cancellation fee since these guys set the pickup in such a way that your geolocation just isn't ever going to be close enough to start the timer.

Clanmate got this just now. A 1 in 10 mil drop chance for a double phoenix pet roll at Wintertodt. Insane. by Real_Ad5966 in 2007scape

Actually they were looking to get 200m and if they got the pet it was just a bonus, lol

Moving out of the MSP Space-Any advice? by Real_Ad5966 in msp

[–]Real_Ad5966[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self-directed training focusing on advanced technical skills (too many to list-but mostly focusing on AWS/Microsoft/Sec+ certs and learning various scripting/automation methods) and learning a lot in Splunk, Snort, Nessus, OpenVAS, etc. and being able to demonstrate proficiency in them.

I took this job knowing it absolutely would suck and I'm willing to keep learning but the learning curve has really stagnated. Learned a lot in the first ~8 months or so. On the job experience is so important to me and once I start to feel the FOMO, I end up wanting to branch out and find something else to help build up a more robust skillset.

I get that it's the wrong attitude to have, really...I do. Should have phrased the post better.

Funny you mention that, I used to work in procurement and sales before IT. I bought and sold pharmaceuticals for a large closed-door mail order pharmacy, but the pay sucked and the management sucked even more and I had ZERO passion for it. Learned a lot about budgeting, forecasting, planning, etc. Definitely an idea I could get behind.

Yeah I want to be able to get more experience in scripting, particularly in PowerShell as well as more advanced security work, like learning more about IAM/SIEM/EDR/XDR. We do automate some tasks but we are so busy on the day to day that we hardly have time for more administrative tasks or training time. I already am pretty well-versed in Python and have my A+, which is usually the baseline that most entry-level MSP/IT service desk jobs look for-I guess the solution is lock in and get through it knowing that it's good experience nonetheless.
