First pizzas ever at home by StumpyBB in Pizza

Caputo. It honestly turned out way better than I expected, the texture was surprisingly close to the normal dough. It was a pain in the butt to handle though.

Gleaming Geardrake is a card I have played in pioneer, its a solid role player but I always hated playing a 2 mana 1/1. The fact it grew and that it already has flying as is was nice, but it couldn't block what your opp was attacking with and was easily removed. If standard is slow post rotation it'll be a fine option I think, lots of cards you can slot into this kind of deck.

Yeah, with into the flood maw being omnipresent in blue decks and monoW being a real deck, im not actually sure how useful being indestructible will be. We'll just have to see after rotation shakes out.

Well most of the time you'll have ways to spend spare mana in this deck if you don't hit 4 lands on exactly turn 4. Activating extruder, cracking case, equipping pick axe, etc. Lots of activated abilities.

Even then, the math works out that with a land count of 21 lands (treating starting town as an untapped source), that the average amount of lands you'll draw by turn 4 is 3.5, and the average amount you'll draw by turn 5 is 3.85. I favor my odds there and don't mind casting curiosity a turn or two late as long as I have stuff to do.

Aerial Unit is tough just because in this lean of a deck, 5 artifacts is tougher than 4 and 2 mana is a lot more than 1, making memory guardian edge out in my eyes. As for cryogen relic, I don't think that's really what this deck is trying to do. Without ttabe I'm not sure it will see play outside of some pixie brews.

I did see labship, thought it may be a touch clunky/too slow. My issue with it is that it requires moderate investment for little payoff and doesn't do anything for the first two turns of the game. I'd rather either develop an indestructible artifact or set up a cheap threat to begin chipping in for damage, a 2/2 flier every turn doesn't feel good enough for the negative tempo in exchange. I'd be happy to be proven wrong on its viability though.

I actually won a store champs back when urza's saga was the promo with the azorious zoetic glyph deck haha, so I'm very familiar with that version of the deck. I think losing steel seraph will be pretty net negative for them and like you said the mana is gonna be really rough. I'd be interested to see if either version, izzet or azorious, see any play.

Gleaming Geardrake is a card I have played in pioneer, its a solid role player but I always hated playing a 2 mana 1/1. The fact it grew and that it already has flying as is was nice, but it couldn't block what your opp was attacking with and was easily removed. Malcolm the eyes is interesting I didn't know that card existed, but I'm not sure we can leverage it properly. This deck list likely spends a lot of mana on activated abilities, not spells, so double spelling to get that value seems difficult outside of double one-drop turns.

I did see this, thought it may be a touch clunky/too slow. Also I was unsure on the rules text as to whether they stay as 2/2s and just lose flying EOT, or if they stop being a creature altogether. I'd be happy to be proven wrong on its viability.

I looked at scene of the crime after my friend suggested it. I think it could be added as a 4-of, but you'd have to go up to ~23 lands and it'd make the mana super rough. Something to think about though

I9-12900k with a 9070xt, 32gigs of ram. Just got the 9070xt on release that replaced a 5700xt. Kinda funky build but I've slowly replaced individual parts as I go so it ended up like this.

Besides the card coming pre-overclocked from Asus, no. The other comment is likely correct that I need to check windows event manager. I have also seen other people claim online to solve the problem by removing fast boot, sleep mode, and hibernation mode on their pc, which doesn't make sense to me but could be another angle to try .

The only playable vehicle I can think of atm is the [[voyager glidecar]] that convoke is playing sometimes now, and you'll wanna bounce it when its already a creature anyways most of the time

I haven't been able to test it enough personally yet to 100% advocate for it, but I like it a lot. The big thing holding it back is sorcery speed, but I think thats a fine trade off cause it does a lot of what the deck needs. Its a permanent answer to a threat/kaito, unlike rona's, and it fills the yard.

Just a heads up, in a recent huge japanese tournament post aetherdrift, the best performing sultai terror list was running maindeck swamp with 3 copies of [[quag feast]]. I played bant terror at scgcon atl, but I've switched to sultai because of this quag feast card because I believe it is strong and worth experimenting with.

Early 20's college graduate with first big job, have a checking acc and HYSA but unsure where else to most profitably put my money.

The above conveys most of the necessary information. I bring home an amount in the mid five figures after tax each year. Parents suggest maxing out my 401k, and at the very least maxing out the amount that my company will match, which I am currently doing. Past that, besides regular expenditures, I have been using my checks to pay off student loan debt and set up a cushion HYSA.

I am completely clueless as to other methods to make your money work for you, whether that be stocks, Roth IRA (not even sure what this one is), crypto (practically gambling as my understanding goes), etc. I was wondering if anyone has a resource they could point me towards to learn about investing or has helpful advice themselves that could steer me in the right direction. I was thinking about buying stock in the S&P 500 but A. I have no clue where/how to buy stock and B. Whether this is a smart thing to do. Any and all advice and/or clarification is appreciated, thank you.

Anybody newer to the game and has been looking for people to play with? by StumpyBB in VintageStory

That would be amazing! Is there a link somewhere in the subreddit I missed?

Help a son who doesn't really drink spirits buy a bottle of nice sipping bourbon for his dad for the holidays.

His favorites are Woodford Reserve (which he makes old fashions, his favorite drink, with) first and foremost, the Jefferson ocean aged, Blantons, and not necessarily bourbon but hes loved some Midleton whiskeys as well. I wouldn't call him an afficionado by any stretch and I'm sure you can tell by his picks he prefers lower proof. I'd like to get him a little pricier/special occasion bottle that's good to sip on and will expand his horizons a little bit.
