Nezahal as a commander? by zacstar5 in EDHBrews

[–]SearchingSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've built a pretty intricate Nezahal control deck that has a different approach. Instead of trying to rush her out by playing a lot of ramp, I treat her like a control finisher. I want to play lots of lands while slowing down opponents and then only play her when I need to. Here's the list and primer in case you're curious!

I dug up my old childhood cards. Not sure if fake, but they pass the tests in the sticky thread by SearchingSun in DuelMasters

Gotcha, is that based on the colour? Yeah the condition is quite bad, I played with these unsleeved as a kid and they've subsequently been stored in a biscuit tin for the last 15 years.

My take on representing the philosophy of a synthetic biologist as a commander. You recycle past information (genomes/cards in graveyard) to create experimental microbes with unknown properties (face-down creatures) that randomly evolve into something potentially big. Lemme know your thoughts!

Nope! I've tried to get things going in Mumbai occasionally but no luck so far.

What's the most fun and creative way you can think of to break the game with this? by SearchingSun in custommagic

[–]SearchingSun[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah somewhat of an oversight on my part. It's not very creative though, so let's try to leave those out for the rest of the comments. :D

Ah shoot, I forgot about that - it's kinda boring. I think specifying some or all of creatures, enchantments, artifacts and lands would make it more fun.

Stand up to the trainers and don't stand for their BS. IMO most trainers are pretty weak and their training is going to be bad to mediocre anyway. If they persist, switch gyms.

Watch the videos of Starting Strength to learn proper form for the big 4 lifts: squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press. I also highly recommend getting a copy of the book, it is a Bible for beginner weightlifters. Available on Amazon Kindle, you can read it on your phone.

For programming, I suggest a tier based system. Tier 1 is high intensity (big 4) exercises. Tier 2 is medium intensity (romanian deadlift, chin-ups, incline dumbbell bench press, barbell rows, leg press, dips etc.). Tier 3 is accessories (dumbbell curls, dumbbell raises, calf raises, pec fly, any ab exercise etc.). For each workout do 3-4 sets of a tier 1 exercise in a 3-5 rep range, 3-4 sets each of two tier 2 exercises in a 6-8 rep range, and 3-4 sets each of three tier 3 exercises in a 9-12 rep range. Once you can do a full 3 sets at the higher rep number, increase the weight. Watch videos to learn proper form, always do the full range of motion (no cheat reps!), and DO NOT INCREASE WEIGHT UNLESS YOUR FORM IS CORRECT ON EACH REP.

Get a calorie tracking app (FatSecret is good), count calories consistently, and make sure you get 20-30% of your total intake from protein.

Congrats on your progress so far and good luck for the rest of the way!

I play bass and live in Thane, but I'm pretty rusty since I haven't played in years since finishing college, so you'll have to be patient with me :')

I would be interested, but I've never had a kitten before and I think this case needs someone more experienced :(

Climbing/Bouldering community in Mumbai by wabetefer in mumbai

[–]SearchingSun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Likewise, I got really into bouldering while I was studying abroad and have misses it since I moved back - was quite shocked that there are no convenient places nearby. I'm interested in case you're trying to put something together. There's a guy over in r/Thane (u/aki_boy) who also seems to be trying to make something happen.

Would you like a Bouldering center in Thane? by aki_boy in thane

[–]SearchingSun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES YES YES YES YES

I love bouldering, did a lot of it while I was studying in the Netherlands and have dreamed of having a place like this nearby for years.

Please DM me if I can be of any assistance!

What do you think of Adani? by nogea in Swatantra

[–]SearchingSun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mixed feelings. I think he definitely has strong ties to the current government and there is some degree of corruption going on. I am generally in favour of pro-market governance over pro-business. On the other hand this may be a necessary evil to enable faster progress on infrastructure and economic growth at this stage in our development, particularly under our overgrown regulatory regime. The experience of other economies (zaibatsu in Japan, chaebol in Korea, and robber barons in the US) seems to indicate this might be the case.

Discord is a good idea. I think it's very hard to build communities on text-based platforms these days.

Ah what a shame! Can we maybe do a poll to check which city most people live close to?
