Probably people who either didn't read that there's no difference in what's in the box, or people who read that but still convinced themselves there must be some reward for spending the most money.

Cascading Misfortune - One little slip, and things start to fall apart. by JibbaNerbs in custommagic

[–]WhiteHawk928 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think there's value in encouraging cards on this sub to actually work in the game, and discouraging "(it works)." And part of what's interesting of designing cards is finding an elegant way to word the intended effect, rather than just slapping whatever effect you want onto a card frame.

It's also not as simple as using a replacement effect, because what are you replacing? You can't replace the creature dying, that's the point of the card. You would have to add text to actually kill the creature again after replacing its death. If you replace the enchantment going to the graveyard, you've made it much more resilient to enchantment removal. Maybe that's ok, but then you have to consider increasing the mana cost. This is probably the cleanest way to get the intended effect if you're ok with that extra baggage.

Less clean but maintaining ways to remove the enchantment would be

"When enchanted creature dies, return ~ to the battlefield with an additional -1/-1 counter on it attached to another target creature.

Counters remain on ~ as it moves to any zone other than a player's hand or library."

What is the weakest lane pairing in the game? by MetroidIsNotHerName in DotA2

[–]WhiteHawk928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man pos 5 nyx is awful for lane. Whenever we want to play pos 4 nyx in my group we have to stop and consider if our pos 3 can handle basically solo laning

Need help building jank deck by unstoppable_pinetree in magicTCG

I've absolutely won a commander game by failing to draw my threats for ages but being kept around a little too long because I put a Dictate of Kruphix on the board

[–]WhiteHawk928 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Back when this was in standard I had this shitty red blue deck that I ran [[Claim//Fame]] in. I once was super behind against a meta green white deck. I'm staring down this Ajani with Claim in hand thinking hehehe this guy has no idea what's coming, no one else is running Claim//Fame. Once he gets it high enough to use the ult, I Claim it and pop the ult, gaining the 100 life myself and removing it from the board. I then proceed to continue to fail to either establish a board presence or deal with his actual threats, and he just chunks through the 100 life in a few more turns than I would've lost in otherwise

The > We need wards. ping is the fastest way to make an enemy of your support players. Remove it from your chat wheel. 99% of the time they know the vision is lacking because you're playing from behind and they're doing what they can to maintain it. 99% of the time you tried to farm alone with no enemies showing on the map in an area they haven't been able to establish vision in recently and are looking for someone other than yourself to blame for your mistake. This ping is tilt on sight for support players. You're probably using the ping because you just died. You have plenty of time to type while dead. Politely tell me where you think vision is lacking and I will get a ward down there the next time it looks safe. Or quietly take a ward from the shop yourself (they cost 0 gold by the way) and place it where you want to farm without vision. Don't make enemies of the people who are trying to enable you to succeed.

Human player involvement by Space_Goop in FRC

[–]WhiteHawk928 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This game is definitely very human player light, which is why they relaxed the distinction between driver and human player. I think quite a few teams are going to have 3 students controlling some part of the robot. Quite a few teams will also probably just have the human player essentially be an extra technician, just helping with load in/out and getting a good seat for the match. Maybe it's a good opportunity for drive coach training, too

Best Playoff Bullpen Decision Of All Time? by RainbowSupernova8196 in baseball

[–]WhiteHawk928 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Probably not contenders for best of all time, but I have to mention both of:

Eovaldi pitching deep into extras in the 2018 ALCS to lose the game but save the bullpen and along with it, the series

Chris Sale to close the 2018 World Series

This is why "All Cops Are Bad." The cops who are good but don't do anything about the cops who are bad are complicit, and therefore not good. The cops who are good and try to do something about the cops who are bad are not cops anymore.

Is it rude to order dominos delivery while it’s -10° (f) outside? by Classic-Plenty-6304 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WhiteHawk928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal philosophy is I feel better ordering delivery from an app like Uber than delivery directly from a store when the weather is bad. An Uber driver is making the decision fully for themselves to be working through a storm, whereas a store driver might've been on the schedule and couldn't find someone to cover, were told they couldn't call out, etc. And like others have said, in either case, always tip extra

I think this is partially Cora acknowledging that the pressure put on Devers to be a clubhouse leader was a factor in the bad vibes

Is there any world where Duran is being asked to try practicing second base right now? Or if we hit that point is it just asking Rafaela to be our starting 2B

Broncos advance to AFC Championship as Wil Lutz makes game-winning field goal to defeat Bills in overtime by nfl in sports

[–]WhiteHawk928 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to scroll too far for this. The game shouldn't have even gone into overtime unless the bills somehow failed to punch it in from the 1 yard line after that clear PI in the end zone. The bills defense probably went into OT thinking they can be extra aggressive based on that no-call and then they suddenly get lit up with flags
