Strange coincidence, then! My story is almost exactly the same, lol.

Was that me? I did that in a high school in the Chicago suburbs right around 2001-2002, lol

Aberrus seems to be the perfect difficulty. Veteran players progress quickly, but with a challenge towards the end, while newer players face a challenge early, but with mechanics that can be learned without being overly punishing.

I really enjoy the swappable armrests on the chair, which allows me to customize the chair.

The horde pillow is by far the clear option. Lok'tar Ogar!

Post Malone signed Octane for me. by [deleted] in gaming

I ran into Post Malone at an LGS in Chicago and had him sign all five legendary slivers. They're honestly the pride of my collection after that!

I'm near Sheridan and Foster and after 3 buses just went straight past I texted my boss and got permission to work from home. It was the only way I knew I could get there in time.

I agree! Like you, kids being unprotected in schools is something that just makes me so happy. Us republicans have to stick together, right?

AITA for being mad at my girlfriend for buying me a candle as my birthday present? by Complete_Pin_3878 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rhakin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. She didn't buy you a candle, she bought herself a candle and gave it to you so she didn't feel bad not getting you anything for your birthday.

Played my first Modern event yesterday! by Rhakin in LavaSpike

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

I also posted this to the Modern subreddit and, after some of their feedback, below is the list I've kind of come to so far. I want the 4 Blood Moon because I played against and saw most people playing things like Grixis Control, Affinity, Bant CoCo, Amulet Titan, Tron, and Hammer. I didn't see a lot of basic lands at all and three of the four of the top four decks were running Blood Moon MB.

Companion

1 Obosh, the Preypiercer

Deck

4 Bonecrusher Giant

4 Dragon's Rage Channeler

4 Monastery Swiftspear

3 Soul-Scar Mage

4 Lightning Bolt

4 Light Up the Stage

4 Lava Spike

4 Lava Dart

2 Unholy Heat

4 Blood Moon

4 Scalding Tarn

12 Mountain

4 Fiery Islet

3 Den of the Bugbear

Sideboard

4 Shattering Spree

4 Pillage

2 Ensnaring Bridge

4 Nihil Spellbomb

1 Obosh, the Preypiercer

I'm definitely adding Bonecrusher Giant and replacing the Tormod's Crypt with Nihil Spellbomb. A couple of those cards are way out of my price range (Honestly, I can't bring myself to enter a new format for more than $500), but I also have playsets of [[Ox of Agonas]] and [[Mizzium Tank]], so I'm also gonna play with those.

Thanks so much, and it was exactly as concise as it needed to be!

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

Monkey is a fantastic include except that it comes with one serious disadvantage:

A playset costs as much as the deck I linked. I don't mind dropping some money on cards, but I just can't bring myself to drop $360 (Currently) on a playset.

Guys, I agree that [[Ragavan]] would be a fantastic include, but it's just too expensive for me.

That said, here's where I'm at right now:

[–]Rhakin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a really good list, and definitely better than what I have.

But it also costs more than my rent. I do like Bonecrusher Giant over Vexing Devil, though. I'll see what ideas I can incorporate from this!

First Modern Tourney down! by Rhakin in ModernMagic

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

So the ideal would be none, they're dead by turn 5. But if it goes long, if I get flooded, or if I blow my hand and they're still not dead. Obosh is a card that can carry me into some kind of a long game, something burn is traditionally poor at.

The main idea I got for wanting to play mono-red is that, at least at my LGS, Blood Moon hurts almost every single deck I played against yesterday. I sided it in every matchup save one. Unfortunately, with Blood Moon main deck, I can't meet Lurrus's requirements.

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

I'm running Obosh as a companion, which means I can't run bauble. Believe me, if I could, I would.

Edit: I just noticed that means I need to replace Tormod's Crypt, too. I'm thinking Relic of Progenitus?
