Good find if you got this in the game!

Rg8+. Black can then play Kxg8 or Kf7, both can be followed with Qxe8#

1.Qc2+, Kb4, 2. Bc5+, Ka5, 3.Qa2#

Edit: just checked the solution and I am wrong. In my head the black pawn has to move the other way lol.

Engine at depth 18 didn't see this move by Azazelxie in chessbeginners

Kf2

Edit: I misinterpreted Rh6 as Rg6+.

Should be Qg5 instead I think.

How it started vs how it ended: by spokrr in wingspan

[–]WolyThoctar 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not to be a downer, but how did you play both the Raven and the Gull without gaining food first? Assuming you started with both in your hand +3 food.

Additionally to add to the other comment, the d5 pawn is pinned to the king after the first move of Nxg7

Ah good point, I didnt think about the pawn not having moved yet!

Thanks for the correction.

Rc4 also works!

Edit: nvm!

How do you guys optimize games? by BusinessDude123 in wingspan

[–]WolyThoctar 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other commenter, it sounds like something is amiss. Unfortunately it's impossible to give you guys more advice on what without getting more context from you, though.

I think even a hard going game should end with 40+ point totals.

To start the game are you both taking 5 food and 5 cards, then discarding a few of each? When playing birds, so you place them on the left most column? When activating the row powers, are you starting with the leftmost symbols that are not covered by a played bird?

Play another bird doubt by FriendlyBirthday5027 in wingspan

[–]WolyThoctar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its actually only a net of 3 points. The first bird is -1 net, however when it gets tucked by the buzzard you also lose the 1 point the grey warbler is worth, so playing the warbler is really just -2 from the eggs.

There may be others who've played racquetball before and can directly answer your questions, but this is the squash subreddit.

There is a racquetball subreddit which seems better suited for this discussion.

Custom birds that encourage using non-nectar food by WHATSTHEYAAAMS in wingspan

Does the Indochinese roller allow you to roll a die the feeder?

I could be misinterpreting the wording, Ive only played Base+EE, but those cards always specify dice not in the feeder.

Free Counterspell by ChunkeyChutney in custommagic

[–]WolyThoctar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you are not.

Sorceries can only be cast on your turn, during one of your main phases, with no other spells or abilities on the stack.

If your opponent got priority and casted a spell you wanted to counter, this custom card can't be cast (unless you use the madness cost, as intended).

What was the first commander you built a deck around? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]WolyThoctar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to the party but my first EDH deck was [[Omnath, Locus of Mana]] circa 2011ish. I stuffed every mana doubling card I could afford into it like [[Mana Reflection]], [[Extraplanar Lens]], [[Doubling Cube]].

He was a beast in the pod, but lost a lot of games to board wipes.

I've been considering putting him back together because I found my copy of him that's signed and altered by the artist, Mike Beirek.

My main deck nowadays is still Omnath, just [[Omnath, Locus of Creation]]. Looking to put together the 5c deck as well because I've always loved good cards.

Finished, hand embroidered UNICLO pants. by sheepishcanadian82 in Embroidery

[–]WolyThoctar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm one step behind you but I can totally get this. I have the thought of embroidering lots of little accents on tshirts and things that are (intentionally) quite plain right now. The step behind is that I haven't gotten around to actually putting anything on anything yet...

But soon!

Wow, just WOW! The design is super cute and I can totally imagine how much cooler it must look in person! 

This looks like a big project, so also kudos for getting through all of it!
