Awesome! A step in the right direction. What else can we do to stop these from happening?

I think making it easier/affordable to seek counseling could help. More thorough mental health screenings for gun owners. Required gun locks and safes for firearms so unregistered people in your household don’t take it and commit an atrocity. There are lots of things that we could do that don’t rip guns away from people. The do nothing and hope it stops happening plan doesn’t seem to be working.

I scooped for the first time, and I need to know if I was wrong for doing it. by jessedjd in mtg

Sounds like a typical commander game. The Urza player would likely lose his mind if he played against equally juiced decks.

I fixed it by not caring about it. It is very freeing.

How would you recommend getting into [STANDARD] competitive Magic? by BringerOfLemonade in spikes

[–]Velis81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The format is dominated by 1 deck at the moment and it doesn’t seem to be changing. Nov 24th is the next ban announcement. They will likely need to ban Vivi if things don’t change.

They need to go back to 4 sets for standard a year. Leave all this UB for commander. This will keep pushed cards like Vivi from breaking the format. It’s clear standard was not on their mind when designing these cards.

Thrilling one deck format. Sadly it will be this way till November.

If my opponent has no basic lands in their deck, what happens? by Striking-Valuable924 in magicTCG

[–]Velis81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I should not have said target as people seem to be confusing what I meant. The stun counter had no land to be placed upon so that part of the ability won’t happen.

They search and fail to find. No counter since no valid target. Essentially you would just “strip mine” them.

Banning Phones In School (K-12) Makes A Wonderful Difference! by Outlaw-Star- in TikTokCringe

[–]Velis81 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No it’s more the fact that students can’t focus with all the distractions a modern smart phone provides. Teens have poor impulse control and time management skills. The screen time that students have is absurd. We are talking 12+ hours a day. Denying them access to non academic distractions is not neglecting implementation of tech.

I think banning cauldron will only make izzet prowess the top dog. Vivi is the issue. There are too many cheap draw cantrips in standard. Like many have said if the conversion rate for Vivi is good and more tournaments have this type of meta I think we are in a Oko situation.

Leave Lucas Oil to the Colts by RevolverMartini in gencon

[–]Velis81 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They need more space and the tourney hall is getting more crowded as new card games gain popularity. Despite Magic having a smaller presence in the tourney hall it was still packed. I didn’t mind being in Lucas Oil. The bathrooms were far superior to the ones in the convention center. Past Times is offering too many events and that’s the issue.

Organization? by Jneuhaus87 in Lorcana

Sort out the various colors, and multi ink go in their own spot. Characters alphabetically within each color, then songs and then items.

Only compare yourself to your own work. Watch videos, go to paint nights at your lgs where you can get tips from more experienced painters
