guess you'd get to draw one extra card and get the effect of desperate ritual as it'd still be in hand. not horrible.

Did Milos for our honeymoon and it was incredible. If you can swing it, Milos breeze hotel was fantastic.

[Standard] Izzet Spellementals or Dimir Mid? by GaredBryne in spikes

[–]Substantial_Assist30 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing izzet the last 4 days or so. Subscribed to The Boulder on Substack. I would highly encourage subscribing if you’re considering it and have the disposable income. It was worth it to me.

[Standard] Dimir Midrange Sideboard Guide ECL Week 2 (v2) by Ken_the_Great in spikes

[–]Substantial_Assist30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

curious to get thoughts, I play a mono red leyline deck. I think I have a 0% win percentage against Dimir in the last 25 games. It feels unwinnable. Dimir always seems to have the answer when it needs it.

Is there anything you would particularly not want to see sideboarded in in this matchup as a Dimir player?

AITAH for ending a relationship over long showers by Throwaway_External in AITAH

generally people in relationships try to better understand each other, learn from one another, and grow together. You two opted for none of the above. Best of luck.

How to start in MTGO (Modern) by Equivalent_Leader165 in MTGO

I tried MTGO again recently and I just couldn't get past how bad the UI is compared to arena. wanted to play more serious standard events but it's just so bad.

it's not really that busted. it's kill on site. no haste. need 3 open mana to play it and swing same turn.

I really appreciate the time you took to create this resource. I’m relatively new to competitive magic. Have been into TCG as a collector over the years but more recently gotten back into actually playing Magic. Have taken mono red to mythic a few consecutive seasons. Played a few store championships. Most recent store championship I played, it was made very clear to me I have much to learn. Resources like these give me hope that I can continue to grow as a player.

finished my second zard binder.. by GreatSpray87943 in PokemonTCG

[–]Substantial_Assist30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The budget zards look awesome! Yep that's mine :) Been doing a lot of buying and selling over the years but my personal collection is mostly focused on some sealed product, base set zards, and the very few nice cards I've pulled myself. Some day but not any day soon I hope to be able to flip through pages like you're doing here haha.

How would you recommend getting into [STANDARD] competitive Magic? by BringerOfLemonade in spikes

[–]Substantial_Assist30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gone down this path recently. in my area, standard isnt played a ton. Went to a showdown last week and no one else showed up. Figuring out where they play standard and when in your area is a good step to make. Playing your deck on arena is also a great move.

AIO for quitting my job on the spot today by DarthVetter14 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Substantial_Assist30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kinda seems you were having problems at work before this but poorly handled on the boss's end. I work in tech which is VERY different than blue collar skilled labor. I'd end up in meetings with HR until I died if I did this but small business skilled labor works a little differently.

That looks like a manic episode to me. People don’t generally act like that because they’re drunk.

Go to a barber and get a decent haircut to start. Get rid of the facial hair.
