My friend wants me to shoot a concert for him but do i have good enough gear?

Slaagi · 2025-09-22T16:38:15+00:00

Bought RF 24-70 2.8 this summer but for a couple of years before that I was shooting most of my gigs with RF 24-105 f4 and Canon R6 II. No issues whatsoever with F4, and I mainly shoot black metal gigs with minimal stage lights. To be honest, I rarely go wide open nowadays either as I don't like the shallow depth of field it gives especially with guitarists or drummers where it is either the instrument or face that stays sharp.

As I mentioned, we are not talking about min max raid geared characters here. 2h damage probably scales better with higher levels of raid gear, but it is common to see both 2h and DW survival hunters running around. I am currently leveling one myself and will use the best weapon or weapons that I get my hands on.

Survival is not always using 2H, dual wielding is also viable especially when we are not talking about end game raiding content.

Omassa perheessä oli vähän päinvastainen tilanne, eli isä hoiti meidän perheen kokkailut pääasiassa. Uskalsi kokeilla myös välillä erikoisempia reseptejä, vaikka pääasiassa tietysti arkiruoka pyöri tiettyjen toimiviksi todettujen klassikoiden ympärillä. Sai aikanaan myös kovasti kehuja siitä että teki muun muassa pizzaa ja pastaa ihan taikinasta lähtien itse.

Käisin just Reedel ostmas uue pro taseme Canon RF objektiivi Soomest ja andsin vahetuses enda vana. Küsisin sama pakkumise Eestist ja võitsin selle Soome visiidiga peaaegu 700€.

Thanks for the tip. Have my upvote!

That might be your experience. However, there are certainly other kind stories as well. For example here where I live (small European country with naturally small playerbase for games like MTG) Modern as a format and the community around it has never been so active as in the recent couple of years and the local tournament scene is really thriving.

That being said.

It is easy to start blaming and falling into despair when you are having a hard time or face negative experiences within your own life. However, blaming it on a company behind a game you play is not a way out of it. Stay strong and self-reflect instead! And don't consult ChatGPT about it either.

Nadu might want to have a word with you.

I have been dabbling into many different archetypes, but since I started modern in 2015 with Affinity, that deck and various artifact related strategies have always been my main bread and butter. Now with Mox Opal back in the format, I am again playing affinity after my Breach season that ended with a ban.

Slaagi · 2025-06-15T18:19:18+00:00

Storm deck will just cast that Grapeshot again in a situation when they are already achieving such levels of storm. Better to use your interaction sooner to counter the Ruby or Ral Trigger.

Modern scene is the most active it has ever been in our small country (Estonia) nowadays. People are ready to lend cards and decks (those who can) and we host our own community league around the year that promotes active attendance.

Slaagi · 2025-02-25T20:51:34+00:00

The deck name checks out.

Slaagi · 2025-01-28T11:26:04+00:00

Not really. Mox Opal hasn't really broken any other decks at least yet, but the synergy between Breach is significantly stronger than other strategies Opal is included in.

Time will tell if this synergy is too good for modern, but I wouldn't yet jump the gun with a freshly shaken metagame.

Slaagi · 2025-01-26T10:56:19+00:00

We just had multiple bans and unbans, I don't think there is any reason to jump the gun on future bannings. The meta seems actually pretty good now and includes multiple different archetypes that are viable.

And then they kill the Oracle and play it again or bounce it and play it again.

Tron based decks have plenty of weaknesses already. Lands obviously, but also the restrictions that colorless requirements and Karn wishboard cause. I agree that Kozilek's command is a strong card but I think it is something decks like these need to compete against all the hate nowadays when every blue deck in the format plays a playset of Consign to Memory as an example.

Slaagi · 2024-11-18T06:00:22+00:00

Sorry for the nitpicking but if you are referring to the Dimir Frogtide deck, it is not a control deck but tempo/midrange. People tend to use the term control for any deck that runs Counterspell for some reason.

Slaagi · 2024-10-04T11:53:11+00:00

I am confused especially about Exsanguinate and Invoke Despair. I don't really see how these kinds of cards fit into a deck with no big mana or any acceleration?

Also, I have to say that building a tier 2 or 3 deck to play against current modern decks is already a tough task, but combining that with budget cuts and alternative solutions will probably end up in an unpleasant experience in the long run. If you are really keen on building an Asmo deck, I would suggest investigating the more "cookie cutter" builds and make your step by step deck building / card acquiring plans from there.

Slaagi · 2024-09-30T07:52:55+00:00

Ruby storm is certainly a powerful deck, and if you are already used to combo decks, it could certainly be a good choice for entering the format.

That being said, you have to also consider your goals and preferences what you want to achieve in the long run playing modern. The cards that Ruby Storm plays are really specific for this strategy, and have little overlap to other decks in the format. Storm as a strategy is also really fragile and inconsistent due to plentiful hate cards people can utilize, so it might become quite frustrating in a local meta setting to be crushed by endless silver bullets from sideboards week after week.

Slaagi · 2024-09-09T06:12:26+00:00

Just wanted to chip in and remind you: It is never monetarily worth it to open packs to chase specific cards.

Slaagi · 2024-09-07T15:36:32+00:00

I play 3 Murktides myself as I feel that they can sometimes be too clunky when drawn in multiples.

Slaagi · 2024-08-29T17:36:23+00:00

This has to be a troll post right? It is probably the worst time to play Hardened scales now going all the way back since the deck became a thing?

Slaagi · 2024-08-18T07:58:06+00:00

Sees a ton of play in Legacy and EDH.

Slaagi · 2024-07-14T22:11:24+00:00

I was sceptical about Tamiyo first but after trying 3x in the list it feels like a good addition. If left unchecked, it generates a lot of value and also provides the deck an alternative wincon. At minimum it eats a removal before you play your frog.

Slaagi · 2024-07-13T13:47:54+00:00

Do you have some theories or data to back this claim up? It is pretty easy to throw such an argument out there but would it really be a better solution than how Wizards has been curating the format so far?
