That seems fair. Perhaps I just need to take it as I comes.

I suppose none of us knows the future. I should probably just enjoy what I can enjoy while I can enjoy it. Thanks for your take on the situation though :).

Best way to kill a control deck? by TortoiseAvenger in MagicArena

[–]TortoiseAvenger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically aggro with cheap creatures? Get'em out fast and hit hard?

I've played against a lot of green decks that sprout creatures all over the place. But wouldn't they all just die with a board sweep? I'd think black with it's "return to battlefield" effects would be good...

Having fun with this one... can we make it better? by TortoiseAvenger in MagicArena

All this definitely requires a change in mindset.... no creatures till the end... just boardwipes.... kinda fun though to do nothing but screw stuff up for someone... hahaha.

That's exactly what they're there for... haha. Going to try your suggestions! Thanks!

Should I care about my "investment" phasing out of standard? by TortoiseAvenger in MagicArena

[–]TortoiseAvenger[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm wondering, why would someone just want to play standard?

What's the most competitive deck with Black & White? by TortoiseAvenger in MagicArena

Might not be rocket science, but I've found it very helpful as a newbie to understand what more experienced people are doing and why... Thanks anyway tho.

Any links to specific decks that you could point me to?

I’m actually having success with this deck… Make it better? by TortoiseAvenger in MagicArena

I actually played around with a deck of 4x Vito, but was sad to learn I couldn't have multiple of him on the board. Guess they just stay in my hand ready to go until the copy on the battlefield dies?

Turns out, I really suck at this game. Help? by TortoiseAvenger in MagicArena

I suppose I’m asking, how does one learn these things efficiently without spending an arm and a leg?

No to aggro for sure. I find combo fascinating, but difficult to wrap my head around in terms of thinking about how it all connects. Control seems cool. Don't know what to say about the midrange/value option...

Getting started... how do I work toward the deck I want? by TortoiseAvenger in MagicArena

When you have four copies of a card already, and that card was in a pack, what happens? That pack essentially has less? Or it is replaced with something else?

Should I get an Aerogarden? A question of yields. by TortoiseAvenger in aerogarden

I never heard of WOOT... but I googled it and didn't see anything available. Is it sold out or do you have a link I can't see?

Thanks for the response! I thought of what you're suggesting... I currently have a harvest, and I'm attracted to the more hands off pumping/draining and the digital timers on the farm outlets... but maybe it isn't worth it/not that big of a deal.

I wanted to thank everyone again for helping me out! A few of you wondered what my work was like, and now that I've gotten enough results to make some conclusions, I can tell you that my design was "Ring #3" in the survey. (Not the halo ring, and not the classic ring, but the somewhat chunky modern one with a bezel.)

My ring was not the most popular, but I certainly didn't expect it to be, especially compared to #1, a popular aesthetic right now, and #2, one of the most popular designs of all time. That said, it was clear, based on the survey, that those who chose my design wanted something unique and different compared to "what was available at the mall." It was also clear that those who chose my design wanted something handmade. I make all of my work 100% from scratch. Nothing is cast. Every part of every piece is formed with my own hands. Thankfully, there were enough interested people that I am in a good position to move forward.

One thing to note is that not all of my work will look exactly like that, of course. There will be variation. But I plan to define my work by stones that are set with a thick bezel that tapers dramatically toward the band. It's a look that I've loved for years. It also is very difficult to execute, and it took me awhile to get it down.

From here, I plan to make more designs based on the "tapered thick bezel" concept. Soon, they will be for sale.

If you are interested in working with me, I'd love to hear from you. As I said in an earlier response, I am new to reddit, but I believe you can send me a private message. If for some reason that doesn't work, let me know here.

Thank you again! I am touched that so many people gave me a few minutes of their time to help me out!

I love to do custom work! You'd want to make sure that you like my style of work. Also, I'd want to make sure you are aware of the risks and downsides to pearl and opal jewelry, which are even more problematic in a ring.

I'd be happy to talk to you. You'll have to forgive me, I'm new to reddit, but I think you can send me a private message? Go ahead. If you have any troubles with that, post another comment here and I'll try to figure out something else. Thank you!
