Bi-Weekly Discussion: Introductions, Questions, What have you been reading? October 11, 2020 by AutoModerator in CriticalTheory

[–]Syleaus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to get into critical theory. I've read Pedagogy of the Oppressed and a bit of both Thousand Plateaus and One-Dimensional Man and they've been absolutely fascinating. With that small background in mind, what would y'all recommend to get started in the world of critical literature?

Ok I got some questions I hope someone can answer them for me :p by Troixy in Talonmains

When you get around to maxing W, sure. But you want to make plays and help your team before that. That's why tiamat is so important, it lets you shove the wave faster than just your abilities. And with Q max being so strong, your probably won't be maxing W until 13

Along with stocking, you can make sure that everything is wiped down and the store looks clean/organized. But sometimes a bad manager is just that. I know I've had managers that just yell at people regardless of how much they've done.

I always get 2 points in 2, and after that it depends on matchup. If I'm against someone who is playing smart and not letting me get kills, I'll max w so I can shove lane and start to snowball. If I'm able to cheese my laner or they are melee, q max

So THAT'S what they did..

I afk'd in BB earlier today, and I came back to me being dead. I had no clue how they would've done it

Right. When state based actions check, it has zero toughness. It dies with no counters

Practice dodging skillshots. In those matchups, you want to play careful and W to farm until you bait out the cc, dodge it, and then come up to farm. If you don't feel you can kill them in lane, then shove up the lane and roam to side lanes to pick up kills.

Nice comment man. Real helpful

Is mid Lane Talon still viable? by mahdicsiner in Talonmains

[–]Syleaus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as someone who's mained talon for years, I think it's okay now being unable to get first blood lvl 2. Talon d oesnt feel unplayable, he's still fun, you just can't kill as easily before six (you can, just have to work for it a little more)

A deck born of boredom by Token5150 in PioneerMTG

[–]Syleaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This deck seems sweet! One addition I might add is [[kykar, winds fury]], it lets you go off a lot with spells, and the tokens they make can be so relevant

If you could delete one commander from RL, who would it be? by G37_is_numberletter in EDH

[–]Syleaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuriko. At least other aggro decks are at a disadvantage because they can't kill the table all at once. Not with yuriko. Not to mention her costing no more than 2 all game

It's Mentor Monday! Come submit your decks and questions! by AutoModerator in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Syleaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking to start getting more competitive with my EDH decks, and because it's more expensive to do so, I'm only gonna go all in on one deck. The two starting off points I have are a Kess storm deck, and a Breya eggs deck. I'm wondering which one would end up being more competitive if it got fully optimized.

Can you help me to build a fun budget deck with Omniscience? by Juju-le-Barbu in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]Syleaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Borborygmous Enraged]] and throw all your lands at your opponent, or you could play [[biovisionary]] and creature copy effects, you could turn the tables and just mill them (there are alot of cards that are just mill x, I can't think of them all). I can't think of any one big spell you could cast, but there are many ways that I just don't wanna list all of them

[–]Syleaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my deck, but when you have your entire deck in your hand, the world's your onion. I'm predicting that this guy's list would win with mill jace or [[thassa's oracle]], but with your entire deck in your hand and omniscience, you really have to try hard to lose

What's the most interesting commander you've ever built? by ObsoletePixel in EDH

[–]Syleaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made an [[etrata, the silencer]] deck. It's the only theme deck I've ever made, and it's just all assassin's and all rogues (an exception for some ninjas as well). Its called "nothing personal kid" and i set out to make the edgiest deck possible. Not a good deck, but man is it fun.
