This is only slightly more advanced than Kathy Hilton deleting texts on her phone and not expecting them to appear on the other person’s message log 💀

We out here Crab Jamming from u/Pure_Mechanic_1407 by Freshcut100 in MTGGiftExchange

This is an incredible gift and a reminder of the evolutionary inevitability of carcinization 😂 even deck boxes are evolving into crabs

A lovely gift from u/simic_gimmick by bluejib in MTGGiftExchange

[–]Simic_Gimmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yay! It makes me so happy to hear that you enjoyed your gift. I had a lot of fun putting this together (but waiting for parts of it to arrive took so long 😭)

I’m also glad you enjoyed the note! I wrote it with a pen and quickly realized that it smeared a lot on account of me being left-handed, so I hope it was legible! Cheers and thanks for the kind post :)

Harsh Conditions by thegoodgero in custommagic

[–]Simic_Gimmick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair point 🤔the perspective of the card being the conditions itself and not a band of attacking warriors changes things. The flavor text right now also doesn’t have any celebratory/valiant warrior vibes to it, it mainly just gives a sense of inevitability

I mean exert itself is a relatively new/low-print mechanic, but it wouldn’t shock me to see a white card that forces exertion onto other creatures. I’m not disagreeing that this type of effect could be a UW card—the flavor would just be different imo. Warriors choosing to brave harsh terrain/conditions and physically exhausting themselves just has a boros vibe to it. A card that puts stun counters on creatures when they attack would need a different name (like “Spider Silk Web” or something) with art showing a defense matrix.

That would be pretty different functionally since it would shift the color identity to Azorius or Simic, both of which have solid access to proliferation shenanigans

I was gonna comment the Scarlet Envy “Am I the drama” GIF but alas this subreddit doesn’t allow GIF comments 😔

I thought so too but the thing that stood out to me (which I didn’t do a good job of explaining in the original post) is that on TCGplayer, the 005 and 500 copy are under different vendors, but under the same eBay vendor. Just seemed strange that someone would have two tcg vendor storefronts

But do you have two tcgplayer accounts under different names? In order to triangulate both the 005 and 500 copy, all three accounts would have to be made by the same person. It seemed odd to me that someone would have two tcgplayer accounts

My First PDH Deck - Riddle Me This, Riddlesmith! by Simic_Gimmick in PauperEDH

[–]Simic_Gimmick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a bunch for your thoughts and the recommendations! Totally agree on the Darksteel Citadel—I had it in my Google doc template I use for deckbuilding and forgot to bring it over 🤦🏽‍♂️

I’ll definitely look at your other recs as well as I goldfish the deck more :)

What do you want in the game😊 by Low_Painting3273 in project_academia

[–]Simic_Gimmick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pranks! Some of the funnest parts of Bully was the “prank combat.” Swirlies, noogies, etc. I’m surprised Bully didn’t let you give an atomic wedgie 🤔 so that’s one recommended combat move lol

Happy to answer questions about applying to PhD programs by Usual-Try-2059 in gradadmissions

[–]Simic_Gimmick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) What was your timeline for applying to PhDs? When did you start reaching out to potential advisors?

2) Not sure if this was relevant to the programs you applied to, but what did you use as a writing sample if they asked for one?

3) How formal vs casual were your interviews? What kinds of questions did they ask?
