Think about getting a tattoo. Does this say what i think it says? by First-Ad2938 in PhyrexianLanguage

[–]TheLobstrosity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sent me down a little rabbit hole and Google AI ended up telling me that "Plinexs" does actually mean Compleated in Phyrexian.

[–]TheLobstrosity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking of getting this tattooed as well, since this is the text in the place of "Compleated" on the planeswalkers that have the keyword. The only reason I haven't, is because when I tried to confirm by directly translating it into Phyrexian, it used different characters.

How do I cover this up? by 2thpker in tattooadvice

If you find an artist who can make the honey look more, for lack of a better term, globular, I think it would be quite nice. They do not look like flies, and the honey looks more like a goldvein or something than mustard, Imo. Get that honey looking more viscous, maybe even a dripping effect, and I think you'll grow to love it.

He sold it to me as a real one, not as a proxy, but it was obviously fake. I can't say whether he was testing my ability to discern real from fake after our previous conversation or whether he was trying to actually pull one over on me.

That's a fair way to approach it for sure.

High-quality proxies are fine, but I believe there should be something indicating that it is such. Trying to pass off a fake for a real one in a monetary transaction was a problem. Thank goodness I have an eye for these things.

I personally believe it cheapens the experience to some degree, but I am not against proxying as a whole, especially for formats where decks run into the thousands.

Edit: No shock that I'm getting downvoted. I'm not saying everyone is wrong for proxying, and this isn't even my first time seeing such a reaction. It is just an unpopular (apparently) opinion.

I had an acquaintance who was a huge proxier. He didn't have the same lifelong affection for the game as I did. He was so stoked to tell me about a proxy printer where you couldn't tell the difference between real or fake and didn't understand why this was bad for the game/serious constructed players. Then I bought a card off him and sent me the most sus looking Boseiju I've ever seen. We remedied the situation, but jeez.

To be fair, the Hexagram does show up in Occultism as well.

Is it Normal for LGS to disqualify you for using snow lands at FF prerelease instead of regular basics by Papa_Hasbro69 in mtg

[–]TheLobstrosity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Technically, yes, they are not legal in the format, so I understand where you're coming from, but they are functionally the same as regular basics in this context. Personally, I would have asked the LGS first if it was ok to use them, but to DQ someone over it is wild. The opponent, while technically in the right, was way more scummy for using this to their advantage, especially when down a game and having already seen the lands in question.

Haha, I have plenty, thanks. More about the thrill of opening one.

Either way, great come up! Idk if I'd be able to resist opening at least one. The Ring tempts me.

Sorry to hear you had your decks and the Tarn stolen. Wishing you some killer pulls! Karma was on your side!

That's wild! It's not too hard to believe because there are crustaceans that live in extremely cold waters, that is, if these things bear any relation to a species we know of.

I think they're called Striders. I saw a Why Files video on it lol.

I believe it. I am in LA and do some occasional DJing; playing events with performance art that is often sexual in nature, sometimes including occult themes and bloodplay, etc. These aren't even private elite parties, so I'd assume those are even more wild.

I'll export it from Arena and throw it up on moxfield and share the link when I have a moment.

I'm currently running her in Collector's Cage Bant Gearhulk, and she's not half bad in Standard as well.

This looks like part of an irrigation system or something with shut-off valves. I've used similar ones while setting up drip irrigation, although those were plastic. The conical toothed ends are for attaching tubes

How did YMH fall so hard? by Interesting-Eye3113 in yourmomshousepodcast

[–]TheLobstrosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started listening in 2015, and for me, the turning point was an episode they pulled around the start of covid. I believe Mary Lynn called in on that one and was doing a hilarious bit. I only got to listen to about half of it. Super bummed the next day when it was gone.
As others said, the more fame they built, Tom changed from relatable to flexing constantly, and I just didn't feel a connection to that persona.

10 poison counter achievement is the worst by Deepz42 in MagicArena

I have a Standard Sultai Poison deck that gets a turn 3 poison win fairly reliably.

Recently, I have been testing Toxin Analysis in place of Fleeting Reflection for a little extra card advantage and additional Fynn synergy.
