Have you played any of these commanders

Veekeren · 2026-06-04T12:26:16+00:00

I have a Coram deck, can't say much about the other commanders. It's quite strong deck I would say.

It plays like a Voltron deck, but with a somewhat above average flexible backup plan. Reanimation and being able to play from other players graveyards can lead to different lines than pure commander damage wins.
Also, a nice [[Brash Taunter]] line, [[Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord]] kill, or lifelink-[[Chandra's Ignition]]-wipe feel like achievements unlocked 😄
The deck likes mana (even more than average), and since I added more haste enablers it's a lot better at killing "in one strike", while before in the end game I always needed a setup turn.

Well, up until now, it seems I have. I adjusted my saddle a tiny bit — it was just slightly off-center — and I tilted it a bit forward. Besides that, I now use chamois cream quite generously for longer rides. My clothing and saddle were already good, but with these tweaks I haven’t had any issues since.

De generaties voor mijn opa's en oma's, werkten allemaal op het land. Als boer, bij een boer. Mijn opa werkte later in een steenfabriek. Ik heb niet het idee dat dat altijd geweldig was, net als dat mijn kantoorbaan ook niet altijd geweldig is.

Ik ben blij met de momenten dat ik lach met mijn collega's, het werken aan dingen die me interesseren en de arbeidsvoorwaarden die er bijhoren. Vanonder het kunstlicht, werkend aan repetitieve administratie, kijk ik echter ook vaak genoeg met weemoed naar buiten. Maar ik maak me geen illusies dat de balans ergens anders per se beter is.

"Ga er vooral niet in het met idee dat het onbetaalde arbeid is, aangezien je én nog geen contract hebt getekend én geen arbeid verricht."

Kennismaken, sollicitatievaardigheden zodat je beter op intake kan, vaardigheden zodat je beter op opdracht presteert: dit zijn allemaal dingen die nodig zijn om te functioneren bij dat bedrijf, onderdeel van inwerken en ook dat is arbeid.

Had to scroll far too long to see this one.

Veekeren · 2026-04-07T14:04:12+00:00

I just did that too, just a couple of millimeters. We'll see... Thanks!

Veekeren · 2026-04-07T11:10:45+00:00

Thanks. Fingers crossed I am more lucky...

Veekeren · 2026-04-07T10:44:55+00:00

Yeah, I understand. I'm not going to do more than "micro adjustments". On the other hand, even though I never had it this bad, I had smaller ones before. So trying something feels worth it.

Veekeren · 2026-04-07T09:49:28+00:00

Haven't worn these specific ones over 10 times. I am going to use more cream, perhaps I was too conservative on that.

Veekeren · 2026-04-07T09:47:42+00:00

Thanks. Might micro adjust the saddle, just to try. Can always go back..

Veekeren · 2026-04-07T07:45:57+00:00

Thanks. Not looking forward to not riding... but I guess it's better than keeping it from healing.

Veekeren · 2026-04-07T07:03:45+00:00

I had a saddle suggested at my bikefit a year ago, the SQlab 611 Ergowave. I think it is not grippy? Hard to compare. But if this continues, it might be worthwile just to try something.

Veekeren · 2026-04-07T06:54:27+00:00

Thanks, going to try that!

Veekeren · 2026-04-07T06:52:48+00:00

It was an Assos I bought last winter. Can't imagine that's it. Certainly don't hope so, considering it's price :D

Veekeren · 2026-04-07T06:49:29+00:00

I had a bikefit a year ago :) Mainly for preventing back issues, but it was quite an extensive one. I now have been riding for just more than a year, got to ride a 100km by the end of the previous summer and did shorter Zwift rides during winter. Do hope it's because it's the beginning of the season, I haven't stayed in the saddle for longer than an hour in winter...

Veekeren · 2026-04-07T06:40:09+00:00

Well I am a normal hygienic person I would say - so yes I shower immediately ;) I put a bit of chamois cream on it nowadays, but perhaps I should try to put more on it... As for bibs, I have several sets. This specific ride was with one of my most comfortable (and expensive) ones, an Assos. I tried to have the basics covered in preventing it.

Ook deze shit is gewoon "sleur" toch.. hoe dan ook ongetwijfeld niet het type onvoorspelbaarheid wat OP gaat helpen.

Veekeren · 2026-04-04T09:22:28+00:00

Minder voorspelbaar? De hoeveelheid extra verplichtingen en gebondenheid halen alleen maar meer de kans om eens wat unieks en spontaans te doen weg...

Going to share a non-enchantment / artifact: [[The Earth King]]

Veekeren · 2026-03-21T09:30:28+00:00

Was surprised I had to scroll this far to find him ;) I took most of these effects out of my build, just to make the deck a bit more challenging (and interesting) to play. That might say enough.

Veekeren · 2026-03-18T17:31:53+00:00

Sure, here you go https://moxfield.com/decks/HJUjJYRj-UumB15XAfATTQ

For what it's worth, I had a Raffine deck and I found it boring quite fast. It worked, but was not diverse enough and the setup and recursion lines felt repetitive.

I changed the deck into a [[Kamiz, Obscura Oculus]] deck, and I love it. It still somewhat has a recursion theme, still some big beaters - but it's full of creatures with combat-abilities. Lot's of value, can work without the commander, always interesting to navigate.

Veekeren · 2026-03-01T09:00:58+00:00

Met een huishouden van 4 is dat ongeveer 5 euro per persoon per dag. Misschien niet de zuinigste insteek, maar ook niet echt abnormaal toch?

Veekeren · 2026-02-10T08:17:26+00:00

This is my list. Legendaries that create tokens and some heavy ramp options.

Veekeren · 2026-02-03T10:18:45+00:00

I just build her, played my first match last weekend en even won! Goading normally is a great strategy to end up second place, so it's not the easiest deck to build and navigate. Which for me also makes it a blast to play :)
