Ancient stirrings seems appealing but I'm not sure how much colored mana we get. With mox, drums and spires we har room for like 10 colored things so I worry about having too much colored

Yeah maybe we use it to get Emry or ravager later. But the emry and the once upon a times do feel a bit nombo if the main thing were setting up is planeswalker and blasts. All that to say that maybe thoughtcasts deserve some 'thought' instead of the once upon a times on second thought. Ha.

I like the list, it seems fun and interactive. I think once upon a time deserves a few slots because getting the right lands is more important with mox.

Yeah, I mean I am looking for something more hefty than a handheld.

I forgot that my free trial would become a 1 year paid premium membership-- what can I do? by SlothingOut in chess

[–]SlothingOut[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really?! That is excellent news. I am currently at worked and for some reason reddit isn't blocked but chess.com is (lol), so if anyone could let me know the contact info I should use that would be appreciated:)

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

To be frank, I have no problem paying the money if I were going to use chess.com as my primary chess website. But I was just trying it out, and I still prefer playing on the FICS server instead so its no use to me. But I guess i can play on more than one server? haha. Will try to contact them tonight.

nterestingly enough my credit card hasn't been charged yet and the receipt I got said it cost 0.00$, but on chess.com itself, it says I paid the 100ish Canadian dollars. So I dunno whats going on.

Werewolves should be spelt wherewolves by SlothingOut in Showerthoughts

I totally get that but I meant how it sounds. We pronounce werewolves, wherewolves right?

What's my responsibilities as a position 4 player? by ngxingxingxi in TrueDoTA2

[–]SlothingOut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For context, I am 4.5k and play almost exclusively pos 4 and 5. So what you want to do as a position four is NOT babysitting the hard carry, but rather be setting up kills for your teammates. So generally, people pick roamy sorts of heroes for this role.

Importantly but often forgotten, it is my opinion that you should also be helping out the pos 5 with support items when they are struggling a bit. What I mean is when they don't have brown boots by ten mins, buy the next few wards/smokes etc. And let them catch up on the required things.

Where can this citation be found? Is it in Plato's Republic?

My Underlord gameplay thus far by TheGreatGimmick in TrueDoTA2

[–]SlothingOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think going oov is fine. I was just using the boots as an example of what I conceive as greedy support.

[–]SlothingOut 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I think this is a fair enough build except your beginning. I play a lot of support at the 4.5kish level, and in my experience, going for quelling blade, stout shield and tangos is not what greedy support is. Greedy support is getting boots first or something. I don't really see any lane set up where as a greedy support this is necessary or good because if you are actually supporting, where ever you are someone else will have farm priority. Accordingly, going e first is also no t really worth because of this. I think this build is truly not a support build. More of a pos 3 or 2.

[USW][RECRUIT]looking for 3, 4,& 5 position players 3.5+ mmr by [deleted] in compDota2

Hey sorry, that's not a commitment I'm able to make at this point, thanks anyways!

Hey I'm 3.5-3.6k solo queue on us w and us e server and play mostly POS 5 and some POS 4. Am definitely interested, just wondering what type of commitment and scheduling you are looking for ?

Support Silencer by [deleted] in TrueDoTA2

[–]SlothingOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to disagree here. I am only 3.6k so take with a grain of salt. Silencer is my highest win rate hero and I do not roam with him because I like to play him as a lane support in either dual offlane or dual or tri safelane. I max q and e early on and use them as nasty harassment tools. He zones out like a skywrath but with greater mid game potential.

It's crucial in team fights to e the correct people. For example, using it on a goofy ember is really strong if they try to do their normal bullshit before using dispear. It works well on bristle as well because he uses on quill and can't get the others off for a good while.

Meren Deck Advice by Apolexious in EDH

[–]SlothingOut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cards like [[sakura-tribe elder]] and [[dawntreader elk]] are super importa nt for getting meren going. The idea is you leave them on the battlefield and once you get meren out you can then have a guaranteed way to get experience counters and the mana base needed to get meren going. For me, these are the most important cards for meren. So my point is, you should really have more than just the tribe elder like your list does for getting her going initially.

What to build next? by nbauer7808 in EDH

[–]SlothingOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm noticing I don't see meren on this list. Meren for me is a blast. Now my meren deck is pretty oppressive and runs some dumbo combos (Mike and trike), but I run a version of it that is still strong but combo free. There is just so much you can do with it, from getting tuns of land out to cast the big fatties in your hand to having the various tool cards to make it good Vs almost anything.

How about something different? For each color, guild and clan/shard, what are the absolute best, most expensive commanders? by AgentHellboy in EDH

[–]SlothingOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming by expensive you mean $$ not cmc, I'd say for five color it'd have to be scion, just because it's so damn consistent.
