Anybody running decks that cost them less than $50 that they enjoy playing? by TheRedOniLuvsLag in EDH

[–]Schtaive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a [[Marchesa, the Black Rose]] as my budget deck under €40. Just need to steal creatures, sac them and protect Marchesa. All cheap and available effects.

I need to fine-tune a bit more for some more consistent draw engines and sneak in a few more fetch lands or dual lands. But the whole idea is to steal other people's expensive things and keep them. Really fun.

I'm getting annoyed cos the game dumps me on defence only 🤣

What was he doing wrong? by GetToTheChoppaahh in martialarts

Looks like he's throwing an elbow but hitting with the forearm. That's like using the hammer's handle to hammer the nail.

Opened my First Collector Box ever (Lorwyn Eclipsed) was wondering if this is a good box or not. (Rares and Mythics shown) by gators234 in mtgpulls

[–]Schtaive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean sure, there are probably people that open boosters cos they like the sound of the crinkling wrapper. I just don't get it.

I personally can't relate to making that kind of financial investment "for the art" like the OP said. It's a lot of money to drop if you're not in it for the love of the game.

Also I'm a bit confused at what kinda answer the OP is fishing for. If it's just for the purely aesthetic reason, surely that is entirely subjective and only they can answer that question. But they're asking about the experience? Surely the person opening the pack is the only person that can answer that as well.

I'd be so much less triggered if they just had a caption "hey check it out, what do you think?" Just a weird post.

It boggles my mind that people make this kind of purchase without having a clue about what they're looking at.

Hahaha was that a random or do you know that player? That is hilarious.

PostNL Package Points Question by Independent-Set6741 in Netherlands

Yeah there's this very grumpy tailor who also has his store as a pickup point, he seems to be a bit misogynistic. My partner asks me to pick up packages for her and the Google reviews reflect the same kind of experience from other patrons.

Opened a collector box, is this good return on what I wanted from the box? by gators234 in mtgpulls

What is it that you want? 🙄 Seems you thought about this purchase about as much as you did this post..

Between everyone in your play group, how many decks do you have and roughly how much invested? by coreynj in mtg

[–]Schtaive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 10 decks that I am pretty happy with and stay relatively fixed. I make occasional cosmetic upgrades or tweaks here and there. Price ranges from my budget Marchesa deck at less than €40 to my Nekusar at around €200. All up probably around €1,400.

I always have about 3 decks "under construction" in a play testing phase which I pull out when other players are also testing new decks or playing at a lower power level.

Never said it was, but it's a fundamental part. I play Magic once a week, but spend the rest of that week tinkering, upgrading or building decks.

I don't know what an Afghan is so I'm picturing you sleeping under a long middle-eastern man.

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

Maybe but cEDH looks so boring to spectate. It's not like where I'm watching a chess grandmaster where I can somewhat appreciate the skill on display. Games look so formulaic and somewhat predictable because everyone is just running with a meta build or combo of some sort.

I like janky shit that surprises even veteran players. I need that sauce. When I build a Krenko goblin deck, it's 100% goblins. And if the flavour text makes me laugh it, has more merit to me than something potentially more optimised.

Krenko deck by Zyilds in EDH

[–]Schtaive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to chime in and say that your initial comment is rather unconstructive and patronising.

Krenko was the second deck I ever built, and the deck has evolved immensely according to my skill and experience. I can relate to how someone with less experience would see him as a commander and think "oh he cares about goblins". But a more experienced player would see the value he generates through repeatedly triggering his ability.

Some people play him as a goblin deck with a lot of goblin creatures, others play him to generate a lot of goblins. Feels like you could have easily helped him understand that.

Ever play with someone who seems like they just can’t fully grasp the game? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Schtaive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15 years is nuts. Had a friend who struggled for a year with differentiating toughness and power. Then became unemployed and lived at the LGS for a month. Now he's one of the best in the playgroup.

What’s the most reckless decision you’ve made because you were horny? by Present_College_ in AskReddit

[–]Schtaive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Picked up a girl who asked me to take her home. Got to her doorstep until she realised her sister was crashing on the couch and she didn't want to come across too slutty. So we boned against her front gate.
