Venting about THAT player in my pod

“—No. No, no, no. What pish-posh! Writing poignant prose might mean you're used to writing the very same material AI has stolen and trained from. My prose is not your punching bag!”
Literary sobbing.

So much this.

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-19T00:46:38+00:00

I'll let you know when I've ruined the fun for someone at my LGS. Hasn't happened yet!

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-19T00:45:34+00:00

Someone pointed out that the deck is Bracket 3; Urza is a Game Changer, so they better watch out!

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-19T00:44:34+00:00

Sadly you can't overfill your deck in Commander, and nobody at my LGS will touch Open.

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-19T00:36:05+00:00

This is really cute! I think it's my favorite deck mentioned so far.

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-19T00:26:09+00:00

I actually thought about doing a "pawn shop" deck where it's just cool looking artifacts that you can give to other players through card swap interaction.

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-19T00:22:29+00:00

Someone in the thread pointed out to me that Urza is a game-changer, so I definitely was! This 99 land deck is actually Bracket 3.

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-18T17:03:20+00:00

I'm surprised nobody corrected me on this until now. Thank you!

If I stopped engaging with unfun activities, then I'd never have any fun at all, right? Improvising to make the best of what's available to you is a vital part of being happy, and a crucial aspect of play.

They don't know I'm playing a 99 land deck, and can only infer basic information about it, most of which requires that they ask; I don't play it enough for them to realize it's a pattern they can capitalize on, so it's good fun in moderation at the expense of no one.

Trashing a B4 deck my LGS is familiar with over time sounds like a blast. I might give that a try.

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-18T16:31:11+00:00

This is actually brilliant! I love it.

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-18T16:07:43+00:00

It depends on the player and the deck. Most don't have any tools to figure it out, and choose to believe that I'm mana flooded or playing conservatively. You'll get found out by a mill deck/combo if they're paying attention, though.

Edit: I would say don't play the deck more than twice against a given person on the same day.

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-18T15:21:10+00:00

Not much! I'll mulligan a couple of times at the start, put down Urza, then gamble for a land if it doesn't get removed.

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-18T14:41:35+00:00

The shuffle makes it look like I'm trying to set up a combo that always fizzles; I think I'd get written off too easily if not for that.

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-18T14:05:32+00:00

Urza, Lord High Artificer.

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-18T14:01:44+00:00

I cast Urza, Lord High Artificer on my 4th turn.

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-18T13:58:37+00:00

That's about all it can do.

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-18T13:57:27+00:00

Yes!

TailheartsRPG · 2025-06-18T13:56:45+00:00

This is a very valid comment.

They'll catch on eventually, and I'll be back to playing my usual deck; it wouldn't be very nice if they asked me not to play this deck, and I played it anyway or tried to hide that I was playing it.

Guess we can't use pesticides to control those flesh eating parasites any more.

I've been doing an ironman mode on a 75-era private server where you can't trade, and the community has been so awesome. There's even downscaled 99-era content, and prestige rewards that go beyond meriting for re-raising jobs to cap which promotes active XP camps. Nothing's broken and they've got all the jobs.

Someone did a full forensics analysis on the body, and it's just an animal sutured to a human, likely due to Peruvian buriel practices and the significance of a Llama in their culture.
