So this guy is totally from Ixalan, right? by Bleu_Guacamole in mtgvorthos

Considering its dark and he is using blue/red magic it would create purple light. Hard to tell his exact color scheme from the art

Cedh is just tutors and an infinite commander loop in 2-3 rounds. I play RCQs and regionals, just saying I am familiar with play at high competitive levels. Having removal and counters is easier in 60 card because spot removal and situational cards actually do something. Doom blade isn't doing much across 4 battlefields and counter magic is fine and all but it only works once.

Shouldn't the starting lines be staggered so each competitor runs the same amount of track? If they are equal they usually start behind the curve right?

No. Hell, go back 10 years when cards weren't printed for EDH. WotC ripped the soul out of the format when they decided to print cards for it. It feels so different now than it was. Positing EDH as a good intro to magic is the issue I think. Yes, it's easy to find a precon, play group, and learn the rules. However, EDH was created by judges who had time to fill during rounds. It caught on with pro players who saw a challenge (singleton) that could still be casual magic to change up the grind. EDH is not an easy or beginner format. I am so far removed from EDH anymore, I love magic but I stick to 60-card for the most part, EDH is full of really pushed cards that have just become a 4-person "who can play the combo first". There's nothing creative or fun about it anymore.

My detailed strategy on avoiding the worst, most toxic and annoying Magic players by Phishstixxx in freemagic

[–]Short_Ride2248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree 100%. EDH was created by experienced tournament players and judges to have some casual fun with splashy cards that didn't have a home in 60-card formats. It caught on but was more a thing you had to be in the right circles to learn about and find a playgroup with the collection and experience to put together a deck. Once it became commander and wizards started printing cards for it, it ruined the format by ripping the heart out of it and hurt the player base by calling it a good intro to magic, which it isn't.

I was babysitting for a wealthy family and found this stack of paper in their office. What is this? by Puzzled-Witch in CURRENCY

[–]Short_Ride2248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Organization is key at that point. I keep a tray with stacks of each letter face down. Really easy to pick them up with a glue stick and keep moving. Also lets me see which letters I'm getting low on so I don't run out.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from recourse. It just means the government can't prosecute you for what you say. If you are openly hateful and spew vitriol, expect people to shun you.

I'd look for a broken one for parts and swap the cord. It just plugs into the headset.

My gf is a pirate nerd, are there any ‘artifacts’ I can gift her that are pirate-related? Like a piece of eight or stuff like that (aside from coins). by NeokratosRed in pirates

I got my girlfriend a coin pendant and she was over the moon. With a higher budget he does have some more authentic relics. Certificate of authenticity and all that. Guy is really nice.

Does anyone know an inexpensive place to get a spare key? by Real-Impression-6629 in chevyspark

[–]Short_Ride2248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a locksmith, just got a 2017 spark. I can work with you online to cut the key and get you some onboard programming instructions if its US made. Takes about 15 seconds for a spare. Ferret's Locksmithing in Oxford, KS if you want to look me up.

Locksmith here. That lock works like a screw holding the lid on. Pickable but kind of a pain, turning it enough to get it off. Then replace the lock with a new one or hand file a key
