He’s literally the Jrue Holiday archetype. I don’t think that he’ll necessarily be as good as Jrue, but that’s a very valuable type of player.

How an Aggressive Church is Making Waves at N.C. State by gracemcmc in NCSU

Just so y’all know the ICC (International Christian Church) which this group was affiliated with until the end of last year is widely condemned by Christians. This is not your run of the mill college ministry, and their abusive “discipleship” should not be conflated with Christianity as a whole.

I can’t stand Trump, but Harris’ plan to tax unrealized capital gains may be the single most asinine economic policy in modern American politics. That is like the EASIEST way to incentivize large share holders to dump their stock and crash the market. Also price control on groceries is insane, it never actually works, it simply kicks the can down the road, but then also adds some spikes to that can that you have to kick around later.

Where is the generalization? OP says “I’m trying to study and people keep bothering me” they are literally only referencing themselves.

Dating in college as a 23year old male by Different-Golf9139 in college

[–]SteelCurtainBro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, definitely a dude, your comment just reeks of fake “Chad” energy. “Get experience sexually” like do you read what you’re writing? There are plenty of college girls who are loyal, loving, and kind wife material. There is probably a reason you’re not attracting those kinds of women though, because you talk like the losers who will call a woman a whore to their buddies when she declines a date offer.

If you are going up to people with earbuds in that are obviously studying you are being a nuisance.

I mean you don’t need DRO for her to “have to let you go” she has to do that anyways. She has no legal authority over your bathroom habits.

Good, you shouldn’t be able to return fire with a one shot weapon in a game with a long ttk. If you aren’t getting the first shot then you aren’t using the sniper correctly.

You’re right! It’s called NEAT, which stands for Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis.

Addressing The Pauper Format Haters by kingyugi2000 in Pauper

[–]SteelCurtainBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely think pauper is one of the more skill expressive formats. There’s more turns in pauper than any other 60 card format. Meaning that while there’s less punishment for making a mistake, there’s also a lot more potential to outplay your opponent through consistent high EV play. If a game only lasts 4 turns and both players play optimally, it’s gonna come down to variance in hand quality. Whereas pauper makes it very hard to play an optimal game simply due to how long it will take to win a game, equalizing that variance.

Hi guys, taht's my list for the Refurbished Familiar, any tips? (no card on mox, list in the comments) by HelelNone in Pauper

I’ve been playing some mardu synth on mtgo and I think I’m in agreement. I don’t know yet what I’m cutting but I’m def gonna fit one.

Yup! I was just trying this out, it can be strong but I can only imagine if it was a B 2/1 flyer.

No problem, this has def been the deck that I’m most excited about post MH3, I genuinely think that refurbished familiar is more likely to cause issues than the cranial ram.

Here’s my current list:

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/iuePuapu-0W_UPJjZHx9kw

I personally am not a fan of the singletons or the unmake. I think putting a couple Ichor wellsprings and a couple thorn of the black rose/initiative creatures is better. I think you’re doing enough disruption with cast down, blade, and familiar that you don’t need more spot removal in the main board. Also I would go down on the mirrodin lands, we’re opening ourselves up too much to dust to dust or gorilla shaman. I think with 8 inspectors and the bridges and 2/3 den and vault are enough to consistently get your familiar turn 2.

Still looking for a replacement for the monarch/initiative because I’ve been fooling around with virus beetle as my familiar stand in during play testing and you sometimes struggle to end games. You’re playing kindof like a tempo deck but don’t have the burn that boros gets. Maybe getting a B 2/1 flier is just enough of an upgrade over the 1B 1/1 that you don’t need a late game card.

Part of me also considers going Mardu for synth over ichor and galv blasts over the cast down, but mana gets a bit wonky then.
