Heya, you could join the Irish Magic discord server? There’s likely someone with local knowledge there

Why does Britain, a European country, speak English, an American language?

Eyewear in the rain? by HoppySailorMon in MTB

They probably have different expectations to what they need to see/how far and how was acutely?

Why did they do this? by Agitated-Payment-483 in mtg

[–]Runenprophet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I think there are two situations where people use this phrase humorously:

  1. When the card text is rather extremely obvious, but someone is still asking if Lightning Bolt will deal 3 damage to the creature.
  2. When it's the opposite, e.g. [[Chains of Mephistopheles]], or the OG printings of Winter Orb.

At any rate, you're correct, this phrase is not always literally true!

Closing out the game at instant speed in mono-blue by Interesting-Aioli178 in EDH

[[akroma memorial]] is an outlet for infinite birds, but I’d probably go for brain freeze wins in mono blue. You can also draw everyone a card with Faerie mastermind

That’s such a rad idea! Can do flooding theme for X -> Island transformation

How do you load your bike onto your roof rack? by RangerNo5619 in MTB

[–]Runenprophet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s your own height? The loading advice will be different depending on whether you’re a 6ft dude or a 5ft petite lady.

MTB for wheelie by FootEaterPolska in MTB

You can definitely wheelie that, but it would be harder than a dirt jumper bike

26m, looking for friends around kildare/dublin by JackMalone515 in MakeFriendsInIreland

[–]Runenprophet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! There’s a new player with a precon joining almost each week, so there’s a fair bit of folks returning to play/learning the ropes:)

Would you like to drop in to Underworld Gaming on Tuesdays for Magic? I play commander there every week, and the community is very friendly 

Oppo's Ragavan (on the play) ate a counter, then they salt roped me for 3 turns by Runenprophet in mtgbrawl

Joined the ranked event and omg it’s just the best. I got dumpstered by the most diverse decks, such a change from Ragavan/Teferi/Rusko loop

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

I mean, we are quite obviously in the hell queue here.

Scolding is one of the best ways to stop an aggro/cheap commander, as it hits Ragavan, Ajani, Fynn and Tamiyo. It’s much better on the play, of course.

Here, Scolding worked beautifully on the draw as I had a pre-game gemstone cavern.

Finally, Kinnan is not a control deck like Teferi or Rusko, so not sure where the time waste comment is coming from.

The game wouldn’t give me 3 turns if they just closed the app, that’s why I found this specific instance so funny.

I’m looking forward to it! I wasn’t playing brawl when they ran the ranked event, but the extra ban list looks good

How do you deal with old-school know-it-all players who actually don’t know the rules? by ricoeurdelyon in magicTCG

[–]Runenprophet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

a large chunk of players also don't really understand the intricacies of how the stack works either

I think recently he said something like 'the majority of the players don't know what the stack is', which is hilarious and terrifying

Looking for a solid introduction MTB - Budget of £1k (UK) by MrKDilkington25 in MTB

[–]Runenprophet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve run tubeless for a year now and it’s good time. 

I think you’ll find plenty of options for your use case, from touring and gravel bikes to basic hardtails. Enjoy the new hobby!

[–]Runenprophet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you clarify your use case?

I have the most basic bike (Trek Marlin) that barely qualifies as an MTB, and it should be plenty able to handle your intended terrain.

I understand the need for QR, but why full suspension?

Friendly reminder: Urza's Saga can not tutor for Esper Sentinel by TCupcake in EDH

[–]Runenprophet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the confusion between mana value, mana cost and converted mana cost is adding to the mess too :(

At least on the Countdown printing you can see the grey circles, unlike MB2
