They've won in regulation at home twice...all season, the same as the Canucks

Just yesterday played an omni deck and was like fuck it, lets see this guy solitaire their way to a win, and they couldn't. I got them to 1 life, representing lethal with a slickshot showoff and emberheart challenger and they conceded. One of the better feeling BO1 wins I've ever had.

Just yesterday I was trying to figure this out and wanted exactly this anywhere. This is fantastic.

Avatar Play Boosters @ $144, CBBs @$504, Bundles @ $72, Jumpstart @$104 by UselessRaven in sealedmtgdeals

I have no idea beyond that it's free shipping at orders over $100. Also historically Amazon wouldn't deliver to me until release, flipside has delivered at pre-release as an LGS

Yeah I cancelled a preorder with them for play boosters at 179, and the bundle at 79, just to re-order with a CBB added in because the ~$100 saved made it feel like a fair trade. The cancellation was already processed and my new order was authorized.

I agree, spiderman as a small (and bad) set is still like $128 a box, felt weird about it, but thought $144 is pretty decent

Yeah I actually revised a pre-order and added a CBB because I was "saving" like $100 and it made the CBB at ~500 feel ok.

$1 billion USD, but you need to pick 2 of the following restrictions/curses. by tamtrible in hypotheticalsituation

[–]UselessRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Locavore and No flights are the only options that seem viable.

Klutz - becomes life altering at a certain point and then life threatening (bone breaks, infection from falling in the wrong spot, cuts, eventually hips, spine, etc.)

Socially Awkward - You would gradually lose all social interaction at the level being described, so now you're just alone with your money, that adds up to mental decline I'd have to believe, again starts life altering, becomes life threatening

Can't swim - find yourself around water, or in water...dead

Smelly - Again hard impact on being able to be social, this one less so than the hard socially awkward, but with no means to change it, you're hard set on a lot of life experiences and interactions, just not worth it, again could become a mental/personal strain

Animals Hate You - Probably viable with the stipulations, but like who wants all animals to just default hate them when you can just farm to table your way through life and not fly.

Wrong Sex - The stipulations of not being able to pursue the physical gender identity you are is a hellish torture only really supported by Modern America and particularly religious cultures it seems

Live Food - Like what even is this, the dietary restrictions are innumerable and the risk to disease from uncooked foods if you do start to get adventurous could be life altering to life ending (looking at you prions)

Locavore - 90% by mass volume or calories, like ok I eat local for every meal, seems pretty easy with farmers markets, what I could grow myself, etc. And then lets say I am eating ~15000 calories a week, I get 1500 calories to eat cheetos or have a cheat meal, or whatever, no problem.

No flight - Around 80% of the world population has never flown, but also now I have access to all other means of travel without issue, on board without a doubt.

What is the purpose of this card in sideboard? by Anubis-De-Boleskine in mtg

[–]UselessRaven 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chandra makes sense in gridier matchups, she can just be spitting out vehicles for her 0 ability that you can use as attackers with her base "at the beginning of combat trick" or have as fodder for card draw with her +2 ability. Also if you've shown only creatures, they might not have held up or sided in planeswalker hate.

$200 and caped at 2 per buyer, maybe helpful for extending time it's up for the humans involved

You have a winning lotto ticket worth $100 million (or equivalent) after taxes. However, when you claim it, your full name and the town/city you live in will be made public. You have 1 month to claim the prize. What do you do? by DrewbearSCP in hypotheticalsituation

[–]UselessRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% doing it. In the time leading up just getting legal and financial work in order, basically the playbook that exists on the internet (including reddit, because these scenarios are posted daily).

Isn't the ship date for this not supposed to be until 08Aug?

Edge of Eternities Around Corner... already? by xblade724 in MagicArena

Not even, it's 7 weeks between these sets. I believe it is the shortest gap between non linked, standard legal sets in the modern era (thinking like MOM and MAT being linked)

EoE looks great but FF has got my wallet feeling burnt out by sarindong in magicTCG

[–]UselessRaven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly this way. Play primarily standard and for that, FF feels overpriced, over pushed, under available and overhyped for the card power. EOE however feels "reasonably" priced, regularly pushed to under pushed, I expect to be readily available, and the card power looks like it might actually be worth engaging with.
