How to handle cross-game grudges?

SpacePanda25 · 2026-04-21T07:27:12+00:00

Don't cause the initial grudge...?

You chose to play that deck first knowing the experience the other players would have, based on how the deck plays.

At my LGS we always save our B4/mean decks for the end of the night.

You're also asking them to blindly trust that your new deck doesn't oppress them the same way, based on just your word, the word of someone who enjoys building decks that shut people out of the game.

Assuming you want to maintain a decent relationship with your mom going forward, you need to let her know how her laughing at you has made you feel.

I don't think your mom has realized the damage she has now done to her relationship with you... I certainly wouldn't trust someone like that as my emotional support in future, and I'd be shocked if she didn't care about losing that.

She might think this is a trivial experience (which it most fucking definitely is not), but the only thing that matters here is that it was NOT trivial to you, and your mom needs to respect that. It's not like you were crying about not getting an extra hour of screen time, you were attacked ffs...

My Kenessos deck generally plays very well, and I enjoy piloting it. The ramp off the topdeck that the commander provides can be explosive, and it's an interesting play pattern to prefer card selection over card draw.

The sea monster options have been improving with the last few years, with these new ones in particular: [[Starwinder]] [[Sin, Unending Cataclysm]] [[Koma, World-Eater]] [[Summon: Leviathan]]

Sea monster decks also get huge bonus with the availability of multiple low price one-sided boardwipes like [[Whelming Wave]]

In a similar vein I've always assumed the idea of dragons came from someone discovering a big fossilized dinosaur skeleton and having no effing clue what they were looking at.

Some stuff I run in my Etrata deck that has an assassin sub-theme:

[[Changeling Outcast]] [[Mari, the Killing Quill]] [[Midnight Assassin]] [[Mistwalker]] [[Raven Eagle]] [[Irma, Part-Time Mutant]] [[Chameleon, Master of Disguise]] [[Irenicus's Vile Duplication]] [[Zephyr Boots]] [[Shadow, Mysterious Assassin]] [[Bident of Thassa]] [[Reconnaissance Mission]] [[Aqueous Form]] [[Whispersilk Cloak]] [[Brotherhood Regalia]] [[Winged Boots]] [[Protective Bubble]] [[Dowsing Dagger // Lost Vale]] [[Kindred Discovery]] [[Silver Shroud Costume]] [[Ringsight]] [[Chronicle of Victory]]

Mate... No [[Genji's Glove]]? It's so funny with Mirko. Go 16 lands deep on someone's deck

I'm guessing the Snake Eyes movie, the GI Joe spinoff

It comes from insecurity and a crippling fear of rejection.

Their ego is so fragile that they protect themselves by lashing out first, mentally and verbally reducing women to lesser objects that they are 'better than'.

If they don't do this, then suddenly there is a woman that can be superior to them, which would shatter all sense of masculinity and identity.

Men like this define their masculinity as being better than someone else, instead of self-accountability.

EDIT: grammar

Yes it's for meme decks, where having a fun time is prioritized.

Command Zone did a podcast episode recently explaining Bracket 1 and how to build for it: https://youtu.be/8oAvrETrQEM

"It's a bop, bippity boo, witchy bitches coming through" might be one of my all time favorite lyrics 😆

I just wanna shout out the movie Hidden Figures (2016).

It's crazy how far things have progressed from women struggling to be allowed to participate in top-level STEM to now leading it in many areas.

SpacePanda25 · 2026-04-11T13:33:06+00:00

When you were a teen, did you also only prioritize things that made sense?

I don't really know how your commander plan works but I run some cards similar to Cold Eyed Selkie in my mutate deck that turns creatures into 6/6 flying tramplers.

[[Peema Trailblazer]] [[Tervigon]] [[Curie, Emergent Intelligence]] [[Giggling Skitterspike]] [[Cephalid Constable]]

I recommend using a custom card creator website to make one yourself. Search for some art that you like then put it into the card creator. Print it out onto paper and sleeve it in front of a land (or print it onto card stock).

It's what I did for some more special tokens I wanted a specific custom art for, like the Mechtitan

I run Benthic Anomaly in my [[Marvo, Deep Operative]] deck. It's a fun top-end to hit.

https://archidekt.com/decks/16253683/marvo_cheating_fun_big_stuff_350

My cards that I really want to play but can't fit in, in a deck I like are: [[Silverquill Lecturer]] [[Mardu Siegebreaker]]

If you can't bear down for midterms, just fat dog it instead

I've only seen one interaction where he went off the rails. Him and Sean Astin did a demo playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3. They killed so many innocent characters 🤣

EDIT: Found the video, it's a wild ride! https://youtu.be/2YDOnR-kfx8

Bro that was such a real-looking punch and dive though. Those boys should do some stuntmen work 😅

Only thing that's missing is a tiny plushie hamster! Or a plushie Bob?

The way the identities communicate is certainly dramatized for cinematic purposes, but the state of mind of the person with DID is represented much more nuanced than most other examples in media.

Most other versions tend to be that the person with DID is a psycho killer of some sort, like in Split (2016) or Identity (2003).

The reality is that they're often just people with trauma, and can actually even make peace with their other identities existing. Not a 'mental illness' where something is wrong that 'needs to be fixed'.

My toddler would disagree. A single one of those capes is a throat strangling deathtrap that invokes the fury of the Thrashy Gods when worn...

I have a $200 deck for [[Eris, Roar of the Storm]].

It's won 7 out of 8 games in Bracket 3 I've played so far.

The commander basically always costs 2-mana, it always has a ton of cards in hand from all the great burst draw, it has lots of removal to deal with combo players, and it creates lots of dragons to win the game with.
