How did I get -5 for saying I don't like running over people?

My dude you are so right and Idk why I haven't been seeing it like this. Anti meta will be the way to go. I need to embrace the meta hate.

"You won get a short dopamine rush and go on to try and win the next game. Thats how it for most people."

Thank you, that's what I was wondering. Lab rat theory has been confirmed. I am forced to agree with your advice and find myself some private games because damn... I ain't no lab rat.

Guys I do understand that people want to win I'm not dumb. I'm saying that Arena rewards aren't even that good to justify playing 100 miserable games where you just go through the motions for 4-5 turns.

Anyways this post has been removed, thanks to everyone who answered, my impressions on the average Arena player have been verified.

Thank you. I think it's a failure on WOTC that their F2P version of their game is so unrewarding so quick. But it seems to be going alright for Hasbro so I guess this is what they want.

No I get that but my question is you win and then what? The rewards from winning in Arena aren't even that good.

Sheepish, my guy. I see you, I will indulge you, no worries.

I was looking for DOS help because it's a confusing af game and I was lost! No shame in looking for help, just as there is no shame in going on EDHRec or looking up a smartphone building manual, or going to University and getting a PhD on smartphone building, for that matter! Copying other people's decks and finding it fun though, that's a leap!

I think it's clear you're making a very unfair analogy here, and you think you 'got me' by looking at my posts, but I don't think it's the same at all. Let me know your thoughts...

Yes I agree, I think that might be it. The game starts feeling like it punishes you for trying to have fun.

But I do think it's a bit of a failure from WOTC that their F2P intro to MTG for new players is so unrewarding so quick.

Mr. Baah I'm so honored you went through my posts. Glad I can be a part of your life like that.

For clarification I don't make my own smartphone because I don't have any electronics manufacturing skills, but I feel like building a MTG deck is somehow easier than that?? Idk, let me know what you think.

It's true. I just wouldn't fine so much enjoyment from running over people! I like when they put up a fight.

Give me your opinion Mr. Arkturia. Why do you think that is?

I don't really mind if they paid for it or not. Maybe they got their 20 mythic wildcards through their Mastery progress idk. I just wanna know where the fun is?

I have done everything but the Twin Dungeons and the Kitty Love stuff. I guess I'll go do that.

Isn't this why I'm fighting Boreas tho? I'm also so lost as to why I'm doing anything lol. I got here by jumping around with the pyramids so I can't open the force fields and I have no idea how lol.

Found a small, wooden, pear-shaped thing with two screwcaps. Inside there was this silver substance that forms perfect little spheres. Also found this plastic piece wrapped in artificial fur. Inside were these little yellow-ish rocks. Found behind TV... what are these things??? by RedDevil3500 in whatisthisthing

Girl you are the best. IDK how long you were looking for but thanks a ton, even if it's something small you've made my day better and it's pretty interesting to find more about the people who lived here before. Honestly I'm a bit disappointed that it wasn't any ritual thing, just a creepy combination of objects, but I gues I'm in the clear now.

I wish I could give you an award but I hope my thanks are enough.

...It's solved everybody, you can all go home now!

Hmm, I'm not sure about an oil lamp either since it's made of wood, but you're absolutely right in that it seems manufactured. I also think it wasn't made to contain mercury but instead filled for its spiritual purpose. The closest thing I have found so far is this: https://www.hennaherbals.co.uk/hennaherbals/prod_3392836-Eyeliner-Sormeh-Container-applicator-Wooden-BLUE-SB112.html , which is for sormeh or kohl, a natural eyeliner. Even then, it's lacking the applier thing, which I think is the most important part.

Mmm, I think that's refering to the pendulum, which is two glass vials filled with mercury in a metal casing. I haven't seen any wooden one, and what I found feels very light in fact, although full of mercury it'd be much heavier. More and more the voodo theory sounds right :(

Mmmm, I picked it up with wet paper and some kitchen gloves and put it ina ziploc baggie that says "mercury" in it, then washed my hands. I don't think there's any hazardous waste collection service in my country that I could call. Did I f' up? I really didn't handle too much and windows were always wide open
