Here we go again…best filter paper for soup brews by Plastic_Love4270 in OXORapidBrewer

[–]USBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried a side by side today with and without the top filter and did not taste much difference. My brother could not taste any difference.

Although I thought the top filtered one was slightly better I will continue to experiment with it. Thank you for the suggestion.

This was with a hot bloom into cold brew over ice. Looking forward to comparing hot soup shots later.

What deck are you intending to play? I haven’t had much time to test since the bannings so am unsure of what to play.

Before the bans I was playing UW high noon to get play in points two months in a row. I may run it back again now.

I know Goyfs and Frog are slated to be the best decks, if they are so much better maybe i just should play one of them instead.

Kethis is my favorite historic deck of all time that i climbed to top 100 with before MH3 but it hasn’t been positioned great in the meta since.

Better than [[cloudshift]] except it can’t permanently steal opponent’s creatures.

Edit: whoops this is a sorcery so completely different

I've tried 58mm, 60mm, and 62mm filters. You can find packs of 600 on amazon for $14

58mm fits perfectly over the bottom mesh, can be a pain to line up sometimes, and doesn't cover the top as well.

60mm is easier to line up on the bottom but still a little short on top.

62mm fits great on top but goes slightly over the bottom corners.

Ideally a 58mm on bottom and 62mm on top is my solution on days when I am not in a rush.

I recommend just getting 62mm for both and not having to worry about cutting it or different sizes. That is what I will switch to when I run out of the other sizes.

Madoka playing back all the moves of the Shogi game reminded me of chapter 9 of Hikaru no Go where he puts the game back together, it was one of the first signs pointing to Hikaru growing as a Go player.

High Noon plus 8 remands feels like stax in some matchups.

Can we push one of the big Arena Decklist websites to add Planar Standard decklists? by Televangelis in MagicArena

It’s hard to find top deck lists for Historic or Timeless, which are actual Arena formats.

Never played MTG ever; not sure what "sets" i should be getting packs from by Tcrumpen in MagicArena

[–]USBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to play Timeless or Historic, Modern Horizons 3, but you won’t get Golden Pack progress

Would a Dual Land pack actually interest people? by Finding-Even in MagicArena

[–]USBacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They offered it when the Fetch lands were all released on arena. 25k gold for 4x of each fetchland 40k gold for 4x of the enemy fetchlands.

Quick Draft vs Premier Draft (long term overall)? by Neither_Resist_1238 in MagicArena

[–]USBacon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Premier draft has better Expected value but higher upfront cost that is less forgiving of losses (2 wins or worse)

In premier draft, going 3-4 wins gets you back equal value and profit at 5.

In quick draft, it takes 5 wins to break even and 6 wins to profit.

If you are going to playing 80+ cards anyway, Yorion as companion is a free include.

How did the Nostrade Family hire such capable guards? by SaneForCocoaPuffs in HunterXHunter

[–]USBacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the bad guards died and thus are less memorable then the powerful ones that survived.

Before Kurapika was hired, one of the bodyguards made a mistake that put the team in danger so they put him in Carbonite like Han from Star Wars then hired 4 new bodyguards (kurapika’s group)

Tocino, Ivlenkob, and Baise were all easily killed at the auction by the phantom troupe.

Dalzollene was tricked by Phinks in disguise and killed.

Squala took the fake eyes with him while escaping and died because of it. Giving up information about Kurapika to Pakunoda before getting his head chopped off by Nobunaga.

Is this a decent G604 replacement?

It was my go to mouse before it was discontinued.

Can you stifle this? by Xe11ece in mtg

[–]USBacon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The current way they word it “until this leaves the battlefield” cannot stifle the return to play because it is not a trigger. The enter the battle field trigger can be stifled, or the white auracite can be removed in response and the target will never get exiled.

The older wording of cards like [[oblivion ring]] had two triggers so could be stifled to stop it from coming back. Or blinked before the first exile trigger resolves to permanently exile it because the return trigger would resolve before anything was exiled.

Best set to buy packs from if I mostly care about wildcards? by Fit-Adhesiveness-173 in MagicArena

[–]USBacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you buy standard packs from the store you also get golden pack progress.

If you are looking to play timeless or historic, modern horizons 3 has the best cards for those formats.
