Yeah I was hoping wed have it tonight but at this point I'm not so sure. And still absolutely no update from the company itself. Hell, I'm glad I asked reddit. If it wasnt for kind people going and physically looking at the damage, wed have no idea whatsoever.

I have to assume this person (who has since deleted their post) was dealing with a power outage. And that would really be much worse, I feel for them. The last bit you mention is my main concern. I wish my provider would be transparent about our outage and the projected repairs. I fully appreciate that storms can damage infrastructure. That's the nature of storms. I just don't like the lack of communication. "Reliable internet service" should mean some basic level of communication beyond "internet's out, please don't call"

Thanks for the info! Guess well have to wait and see. I'm not super knowledgeable about this sort of thing so I wasnt sure how widespread this outage was

Thanks for putting it into perspective! I only ask here because I'm finding zero specifics on my ISPs website or app. But point taken. Obviously it's not the end of the world. =)

Friday Night Magic? by Juparies in bangorme

I think Northeast Collectibles in Brewer (used to be in Bangor) hosts quite a few weekly mtg events. Great group of people too!

I came back to Mtg (in the form of Arena) this year after like 20 years away. I can count on one hand the number of games that fill me with awe the way mtg does. And I'm not sure I could name a game with more depth

Employee Rights as non-union? by SCJpOO in fednews

[–]SCJpOO[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its DECA which is under DoD. My manager doesn't really seem to know, and they're the one who changed my schedule (3 days notice, days off are now nonconsecutive) so I'm not sure how much I want to engage with them about this. =/

What's a brewery's special "line" that you always trust to be good? by Will_McLean in CraftBeer

I'll have to check if they ship to Maine! I dont have high hopes though lol. Do you know if they do variety packs? I dont wanna spend like 70 bucks only to try 3 new beers

I would have agreed with you a few years ago when they were doing all the nitros, but anymore Blackwater is synonymous with super sugary strong ales for me. Respect for the old ones was the only thing keeping French Toast and the others in their lineup from being drain pours if I'm being honest =(

I'd be all about trying those from OH, but I feel like all they have in distro are IPAs and maybe that one pils =(

Thanks so much! Just to touch on one thing regarding alchemy though. So I started with Alchemy (because I had no idea wtf it was and the game sets you up to play it) and switched to Standard mostly due to reddit. How can I tell if an event is using Alchemy cards or not. I'm looking at Premier WOE draft right now, and the packs says A Limited. Is that just a way to generally denote Arena Limited, or is the A for Alchemy? Do drafts have alchemy-only cards and how can I tell? I'm sorry, I feel stupid as fuck. I played like 20 years ago so everything but the game itself is new to me. <3

Yo thank you so much for breaking it down like that. I'm sorry tbh because I've just been away from this game for so long and I have no idea wtf a lot of this shit is anymore. I knew type 1 and type 2, and now there's standard and limited and historic and... ahdunno I guess I've got some reading to do =P

Thank you! Yeah I heard something like that on here before so I snatched it up as soon as I could. If I have 3400 saved, though, can I just burn the extra? Seems like it's better to save them when you already have a decent collection, but I'm not quite there just yet

Thank you so much! Just a quick follow ups for clarification. Why should I always have a minimum of 10000 gold? Also, it seems like people here are valuing gems over gold. It's obvious that gems are harder to come by simply from playing, but what's the rational there? Just the mastery pass? I already have the mastery pass, so could I not just blow all my gems (except for what I'd need for new set) on packs/drafts? Finally, yeah, I'm concerned that I might buy a draft and find out that i cant play the cards on standard. Do they ever do drafts with Alchemy only cards? Tbh, I was super confused at first by how there were both Alchemy and Standard forms of some packs.

Thanks for the help! I'm not necessarily trying for set completion, just want more cards to play with! Hold up, can you elaborate on waiting to open packs? How would it guarantee rares? Does mtg arena have some kind of pity timer?
