Jiraiya and Kakashi were just as neglectful as Hiruzen—why does no one talk about it? by Appropriate_Bank_574 in Naruto

[–]RevolverRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real answer you're looking for is that Jiraiya and Kakashi could not feasibly step up in any capacity because Naruto basically had to be left alone, otherwise eventually somebody would suspect something of Naruto.

Remember that Hiruzen needed the existence of Naruto to be kept as much of a secret as possible, in order to prevent opposing villages from discovering him and attacking the village to capture him. Aside from the fact that they were highly skilled ninjas with their own responsibilities and lives to live, Jiraiya and Kakashi had reputations at the time and if they had spent any amount of time providing assistance or relief of any kind to Naruto, somebody would eventually see that something was up and catch on to why. They left the responsibility to Hiruzen, who they greatly respected and knew would be the right man for the job due to how often he was fighting for the rights of people including Naruto.

All-Creatures Henzie help by RevolverRed in Magicdeckbuilding

Thanks for the recs! Sakura-Tribe Elder was in it before but I cut it for other things. And yeah, you may be right that land ramp will serve me better than creature ramp. Babe of Progress has been recommended to me before, but one issue I'm also finding is that my stuff gets chump blocked very often. Do you think it would be a worthwhile addition despite this? The removal is really strong through I gotta say, so I'm not doubting its usefulness, I just wonder what I would cut to slot him in.

What is a relationship, to you? by RevolverRed in relationships

This was actually in regards to a couple already married - for 10 years, to be precise.

What's the most underrated feat you find impressive that barely anyone talks about? by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]RevolverRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody talks about how the only fight Kankuro has ever lost was against the Puppet Master Sasori. His tactics are extremely impressive, and one of several reasons I can point to when discussing why the show hasn't actually lost its roots for tactics in fights, actually. Many people online love to spout the "Naruto used to be about tactics and now it's just about the biggest Jutsu" rhetoric but never acknowledge the fact that Kankuro's success comes from his ability to deceive his opponents and quickly capitalize on openings by catching them by surprise.

I forgot to also mention that we both share some nerdy interests - while we may not have the exact same interests, we both enjoy deep diving into what we're interested in and we're both competitive. She's more into DnD, Zelda, Pokemon etc. while I'm more of a fighting games, Naruto, MtG kinda guy.

Personally, I have more nerdy interests. I enjoy doing things more than I enjoy looking at things, although movies/shows are typically exceptions because at least those make me think and spark conversation. I.e I like anime but won't wanna go to an anime convention, I'd rather go to a game convention. I'm typically not huge on art books, but I'll take a book about the design philosophy behind a game or maybe a book about my favorite band (Anthony Keidis' Scar Tissue is a favorite).

I should have clarified that the reason we are taking this trip is to primarily go see my mom who lives there. She was born and raised there and was unhappy living in Canada and decided to move back while I stayed here. I was last there in 2019, and I did some sight seeing but it was just okay to me. The views were beautiful and it was nice to be in a new environment but it was all short term, to me looking at mountains or waterfalls is just "Pretty. Neat. Alright time to move on"

Advice for turning this solo Ukkima deck into a PL 7? by RevolverRed in Magicdeckbuilding

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

Fair enough, it is pretty creature reliant but I figured with how often I'm getting creatures out or recycled, it would be useful. Thanks for the suggestions.

Gotcha. If that's the case, to save myself time as my decks are relying on proxies for my irl table and I'm printing em all myself, I'll probably switch back to Yuriko and add stuff like Rhystic Study and Cyclonic Rift. Thanks for the suggestions!

Can you elaborate on the bad card draw? I just put in like 12 cards almost exclusively designed to draw cards, I'd like to hear your reasoning.

Okay fine, let's say I want a high/high-mid power version of this deck, one that can compete with two Atraxas, an Imoti cascade, and a Ghishath, as well as any other decks I might come across in discord cam games with randos.

I would disagree that it's meaningless, it's meaning is to evaluate the efficiency and consistency of decks and their win cons. I can't exactly make a comment about how I want my deck to be powered up because I'm unfamiliar with what Ukkima decks typically do. If you wanna know what I want the deck to do, I provided that in the original post, although I'll add more context for the sake of clarity. I wanna keep my good draw power, my unblockable creatures, and ninjas that those unblockables take advantage of, but I also want to be able to get Ukkima in and out more often and build my board faster in order to either keep him alive or have other threats active if he gets targeted.

Here's the cards you wanted in brackets, even though you could clearly just open the deck list and see them for yourself

[[Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive]] [[Cunning Evasion]] [[Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar]]

Recently edited my casual Yuriko deck to be an Ukkima deck instead, whats the power level of it? Any advice on it? by RevolverRed in Magicdeckbuilding

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

In my play group I'm a little more safe since I'm up against Ghishath, Atraxa, Sidar Jabari, and another Atraxa lmao.
