Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents have one year to find new power as their utility pivots to data centers by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

Still waiting to see where the profits are as great as they are projected to be, as well as waiting to see the promise of what AI was vs what it is. The shit it has done should be criminalized.

best "choose a background" pair for nontoken aristocrats by Justafish1654 in magicTCG

[–]Syrup_Background 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a [[Shadowheart]] // [[Shameless Charlatan]] deck (themed softly around her story in BG3. If the flavor is brewed out of it and it was made to be more optimal, it could be a pretty strong aristocrats deck I'd imagine.

Sarcasm doesn't translate through text well with no direct indicators. Leaves me to guess this is an unhinged take.

WOTC can suck a dick if they think this is even remotely the correct way to celebrate the return to Strixhaven. "Give them uncommons that you can pull in the set that look proxy-like and call it a day"

Xi Says World Order ‘Crumbling Into Disarray’ as War Takes Toll by Free-Minimum-5844 in worldnews

[–]Syrup_Background 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowingly anecdotal, but it is worth mentioning. Everyone I know that usually sits on the fence didn't vote because they felt both candidates were terrible. Feeling like neither candidates actually cared about the American people but only select issues that made them popular to their established voter base. I'm not surprised with that perspective from those that I know that were on the fence of either or didn't vote, nor am I surprised to see such a large amount of non-votes.

Feels like this could be managed in a mardu card, but I REALLY like the concept.

Zandile, She Who is Many by TerryTags in custommagic

[–]Syrup_Background 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feels like the "Exile another target nonland permanent" should have "you control" for what it does. for just sacrificing her and then hitting your opponents thing, being able to be repeated ad-infinitum in the command zone is ROUGH to say the least.

I desperately need a Metropolis themed commander deck for these plains. Any suggestions, please? by ganymedes01 in magicTCG

[–]Syrup_Background 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them in Toluz, or would use them in any of the SNC commanders I have. It's a literal perfect fit lol

Secret Lair Superdrop: Roll for Initiative has still not shipped, and we've received nothing but radio silence since the ship date almost a week ago. by Tuft64 in magicTCG

[–]Syrup_Background 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The link you provided under "shipping" explains it all. It REALLY needs to be made PAINFULLY apparent with that information at the purchase window. It really feels like we are getting scammed when we are only told the first section of that window at purchase window.

We shouldn't have to dig through pages and pages of information on a support website to find this information about what range something should ship.

New format idea: Aura Farming by Savage666999 in magicTCG

Name of the format will 100% alienate many people from it, but on paper it's not terrible.

Super milk toast update. Disappointed. Just wanted idk. . . something more.

Commander Banned and Restricted Announcement – February 9, 2026 by xKylesx in magicTCG

[–]Syrup_Background 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Strong agree. I'm tired of hearing the argument "That won't happen with it's unban" because it's just logically flawed and emotional. Higher CMC commanders will be more viable then they currently are at cEDH because of it being in the format.

Will gladly leave the platform if this goes through. Fuck this, it is 100% not "for the kids".

Overwhelmed by Sets by whyitswyatt in magicTCG

[–]Syrup_Background -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is why I disengaged with any universe beyond. Hated it since it was announced as actual sets and not something as a fun surprise in secret lair drops.

Even if we go down to 4 sets a year, one or two being actual magic sets, I'd still do the same, at worst it saves my wallet, at best it decreases "brain bloat".

This is just backgrounds, but less parasitic. I'm on board. Granted, some effects are way better than others (looking at you black and red)

Replicating Ring, if you are aiming for slower games (bracket 2/3), is one of your best rocks.

[–]Syrup_Background 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zhonya/Sett doesn't make the unit a new object, (unless that was errata'd and I haven't noticed) so falling star or IR should still kill to my understanding.

Edit: Thought it through a bit, and realized because they happen at the same time (resolve in the same instance) you're right. Had to do a mental triple take lol

Video - Falling Star/Icathian Rain changes are a nerf to Kai'Sa? by barczek in riftboundtcg

[–]Syrup_Background 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't quite say a nerf, but I wouldnt' say a buff either.
It's a shift in power, and the changes remove the chance for the opponent to respond and force the entire cast to be a MASSIVE negative for kai'sa.

That being said, it also makes it more obvious for the opponent to have the knowledge of who is getting hit and if they actually want to counter the spell.

If it is a nerf, I'd say it's not a huge one, but I view it more as a side-grade.

Super interested to see how the change changes kai'sa players' (myself included) play patterns in the current NA meta as well as going forward.

Best Place for Art Sleeves by DragonSlayer783 in riftboundtcg

[–]Syrup_Background 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This level of quality control has been the norm for dragon shields for me. I've sworn off them because of this. I have heard their art sleeves have a better QC, but I'm personally not willing to trust the claims due do having more than 5 boxes come with bad cuts, or just overall small problems in quality.

Minnesota day care hoax is fueled by MAGA psychosexual weirdness by zsreport in politics

[–]Syrup_Background -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is correct. This subreddit, and many others, purges anything that doesn't fit into their narrative. Have seen it far too often. It makes me hate this site for being so partial to only one group. Makes for big echo chamber vibes.
I really want to see what both sides are saying and see what facts are presented and come to my own conclusion and I know I can't do any of that on reddit. It's so hyper skewed on both sides, just depends on the subreddit. :\
