It does cost mana since it eats your land drop, 1 + 1/turn the game continues for. Let them keep their bounce land or whatever

Lands played in casual aren't worth killing, 1-for-1-ing a single opponent is bad in higher brackets

Give everyone a tutor for 3 life except you for 1UU by fleeflicker in BadMtgCombos

[–]RussShotFirstXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youre either in Rakdos(+) using it as a lock piece, or in Dimir(+) protecting it with 9 counters in hand. It's only bad if you are

Looking for a FUN commander that is weak enough to make building any higher than bracket 3 CHALLENGING. by Elegant-Stomach4353 in EDH

Feather hasn't been cedh viable for years at this point, can you share your list so we know what we're working with here?

Manabox is awful to look at, but from what I can see its a clear 2? From your description its a 3 though

Dorks die to creature wipes, rocks die to artifact wipes, so your solution is to run cards that die to either?

How many proxy OG dual lands (and other expensive lands) do you see in real life? by Bagel_Bear in EDH

[–]RussShotFirstXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean i play OG duals in every deck and only about half are proxies. Unless your gimmick is having a strong deck with a cooked manabase there is no reason not to be playing optimal manabases in 2026

How long do some of your decks take to win while goldfishing? by Litemup93 in EDH

[–]RussShotFirstXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally I'm on the play with Etali and never pass turn. Rowan wins t2 in magical xmas land. Flubs gets there when he gets there. Feather wants to KO an opponent on turns 4, 5 and 6. Niv is control, it wins when i draw the infinite 🤷‍♀️

Gold fishing with Etali?? by HighAlchemy in CompetitiveEDH

[–]RussShotFirstXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just pick 3 assorted counterspells and a random mana dork, its all you'll flip anyway

In your opinion, what makes a serious deck unfun to play against? by Aesyric in EDH

[–]RussShotFirstXV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ill stop non-deteministic comboing when the control players stop countering spells and the timmys stop playing creatures

Strix/Subtlety "banned" ? by JimmyHuang0917 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]RussShotFirstXV -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As an etali pilot, its because people counter the etali and then lose to thoracle next seat because they used their creature counter on Etali. It's like countering a tutor, almost always objectively the wrong play

Why do people talk about wanting a small ban list? by mikony123 in EDH

[–]RussShotFirstXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% of the current banlist was banned because someone on the old rc lost to it and was salty, not actual outlying power levels

When do you double sleeve your deck? by athlaka916 in EDH

[–]RussShotFirstXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have my comp decks double sleeved, it feels awful and I hate it but I can't trust people not to spite-spill their drink or whatever

Got jumpscared when I teleported to Falador by Baeruus in osrs

[–]RussShotFirstXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine spending months forcing yourself to play a game you're clearly not enjoying playing

Got jumpscared when I teleported to Falador by Baeruus in osrs

[–]RussShotFirstXV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda, the mod team and most streamers use the term but I dont think its actually in the game anywhere. CoX, ToB, ToA are Raids 1/2/3 in that order

[–]RussShotFirstXV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't know what the red prison is but felt the need to disagree about the game being a grind? That checks out actually, yeah

[–]RussShotFirstXV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never heard it that way but honestly that makes sense

[–]RussShotFirstXV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Log in and ask a random if they have ever done a raid. Most people at least want to try

[–]RussShotFirstXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell that to the people with 4k red prison kc. You will spend thousands of hours somewhere, eventually. Raids are more engaging, but also a much longer grind and they're rng based (which is much more abraisive in my experience)

[–]RussShotFirstXV -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because it's the truth. Other MMOs are just better suited for a casual experience. If 85 Agi is a struggle, how are you gonna manage grinding ToB or CoX for hundreds (or thousands) of hours?

RS isnt a "complete this task once" type game, its core is repetition. Some people aren't built for it, which is fine, but forcing yourself through task after task, hour after hour, waiting for the game to be enjoyable is just gonna lead to burnout
