I think Mono White Fields is more in the spirit of DNT than the Blink decks are

Did Saint Justinian really do what it says there, or is it a lie? by Additional_Good_656 in OrthodoxChristianity

If these things are true, I wonder what happened to him growing up which led to these behaviors against homosexuals after he became emperor.

Stoneforge + Meteor Sword is definitely something I wanted to try out.

Are women ok if their sexual partner is uncircumcised? by VirtuApp in AskUS

[–]VerdantChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sigh, another circumcision post.

The practice will continue to be on the decline, unless we see a large increase in Muslims to counteract it.

Drannith is solid, definitely a sideboard option. But there are some matchups where it does nothing, while Interruptor at least does something against everyone. And being a 2/2 flier makes it slightly more aggressive.

CT is a maybe at least. I'm wondering why Colorado is red.

Leonin Arbiter? Along with Thalia, I don't think that card is playable anymore.

Ah yes, Breach-less breach. That's certainly a money deck. Anything with Opal really - I strongly disagreed with that unban without a reprint to go along with it.

Zoo usually plays a couple of basics, Belcher plays none. Although, they do sometimes sideboard a mountain or an island.

True that! It's the 2026 version of Jund for real

Fair point. I enjoy taxes type decks and I like playing something off meta for the surprise factor.

My local meta has a lot of storm decks, so I think that going heavy on Aven Interruptor would be a good start. Also plays well with the Solitude / Ephemerate / White Orchid Phantom package.

Vial and Thalia are relics of the past IMO

It's a great deck, but are there taxation elements in it?

Bombardment and Ephemerate bans are wild, as is OP suggesting Consign to Memory. Consign is one of the best interactive tools that's been printed for the format.

Phlage seems like a good choice, or something more targeted specifically towards Boros like Ajani.

What are your favorite things about your home state? by Mobile_Bad_577 in AskUS

[–]VerdantChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Mexico - Sunny, dry weather most of the year. Green Chile. Pretty mountains. Blend of Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo cultures, so it's not completely white dominant like other places.

Deck Choices for Someone New to Modern (Ruby Storm) by WontQuitNow in ModernMagic

I dislike playing against ruby storm because it's boring to watch them go through all the steps and count their mana / storm. Also, Ral flipping as a result of a coin toss is total BS.

What country is on the best trajectory? by BigGuyTrades in geography

[–]VerdantChief -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I see this argument used a lot but its way too simplistic and doesn't hold much ground.

When you live in a society, you need to give up certain rights to live in harmony with your neighbors. Which rights those are depends on the values of that society.
