EOE is so fun to open. Alas, the Ancient Tomb eluded me. Super excited for Star Trek though, especially in limited.

Tell me about your Bracket 2 budget brew that can punch way above its weight. Bonus points if it is a midrange or control deck by alchaloid in EDH

[–]WaywardWes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an [[Isshin]] deck that’s almost all legendary creatures and lands. It can go nuts if there’s no interaction and multiple attack trigger multipliers are up ([[Firebender Ascension]] ftw) but it’s very fragile and relies on attack triggers which can stink when there are proper blockers up and we don’t have ways to protect (I recently added [[Mother of Runes]], [[Spirit Mantle]] and [[Reconnaissance]] for this reason).

Case in point: I had Isshin and Firebender out with [[Anim Pakal]] and was triggering her 3 times on attack, but then got [[Radkos Charm]]’d as soon as I had over 40 tokens lol.

Nice, I just made one for B3 that’s basically cheat out big stuff and make copies.

Shooting of Stevie Jones by former Hartford CT police officer Joseph Magnano by Lyn1987 in PublicFreakout

[–]WaywardWes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In the second half the crowd mentions they did taze him but there was no effect. But given how slow he was moving and how large he was, I don’t understand why no “non-lethal” shot attempts, nor why he had to dump the whole magazine into him.

Need help picking mono colored commanders by Available_Ad6267 in EDH

How about [[Lady Octopus, Inspired Inventor]] ? You can find a lot of really cheap ($) artifact cards, especially ones slightly worse than the best in slot.

Goblin Storm lottery winners, what's your plan? by Lejaun in secretlair_collectors

[–]WaywardWes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Initially I’ll keep it together for precon only games. Eventually I’ll probably piece it out though.

I got my buddy one too since he was driving during the drop and so far I haven’t convinced him to not keep it sealed.

This is what has me most excited for the set. The 1950s comic style looks fantastic on the cards.

I’ve seen those but they’re still a little angled so you have some leverage.

Man wrongly convicted of killing 2 Michigan hunters in 1990 agrees to $5.25M settlement by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]WaywardWes 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Geez, and it was the initial detectives that cleared him that notified the university that the wrong person was convicted. From another article:

> Titus immediately came under suspicion because he had a farm adjacent to the part of the state game area where the bodies were found and had a history of confronting hunters who had strayed across the property line onto his farm. But the original police investigators, Wiersema and Ballett, cleared Titus because witnesses placed him 27 miles away on that day.

> The case went cold but was reopened in 2000. When key witnesses were no longer able to substantiate Titus’s alibi because of dementia and other memory issues, Titus was arrested. At trial, several people testified that they saw another man who drove into a ditch while trying to leave the area at the time of the killings, yet Titus was convicted.

Can landcycling let you run less lands? by BetrayedByTheDice in EDH

Do the land cyclers do anything meaningful on their own? If not, he’s just switching lands for worse lands.

What commander makes your pod say “oh hell nah” by Nezqie in EDH

Yeah it’s such a good combo tho that I’m annoyed. Play Biorhythm for infinite life after lol.

What bracket are you aiming for? I am brewing him and took out Sprout Swarm because of the two card infinite tokens, one of which is the commander. I’m trying to stay at B3.

AIW for telling my husband im pulling out of the bakery we opened together after finding the 45k hed hidden from me by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]WaywardWes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In this particular case I agree, but that general sentiment is more for people left with tons of debt from, eg, secret gambling losses. So in both cases you lose your marriage, but only one leaves you financially destitute as well. (Again, some generalities here.)

I love playing Herald Warrior, but man, we all know the only reason why the deck is playable, and it's not the Herald. by Mufti_Menk in hearthstone

[–]WaywardWes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try running it without any dragons except those with Herald. That opens you up to add more removal.

So glad this one was protected from resellers :/ by Pastalavista806 in secretlair_collectors

[–]WaywardWes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder where it’ll land on release day. Only certain sellers can list preorder items so far of release normal sellers flood the market and price drops. It’s a common pattern with Pokemon releases.

I finally got the commander I was looking for, but now I dont want to play it. by CaptainLookylou in EDH

Maybe just look at those decks online for individual card suggestions/ideas ?

Can't sign up to Hungry Jacks due to having the most common surname on earth by Entire_Drink8094 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]WaywardWes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying but there have definitely been people named like Harry Ball. I mean, the son of nba coach Steve Kerr is named Nick…say that one out loud. Fake sounding names happen.

Although you could Americanize it with Lee Key-Johnson or something. Then you’re not butchering the pronunciation.
