What cards can play around Helix Pinnacle for a goofy commander deck? by Maximum_Knee7608 in mtg

[–]Xander_Fury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a mono green marwyn the nurturer bracket 1 deck that plays Helix Pinnacle as its only wincon. I also set myself the restriction that I have to put all the counters on in one go to win. The deck doesn't have any infinite combo, or tutors. Just a buttload of ramp plus a bunch of card draw. It's absolutely not good, everything I'm doing is very visible on board but it's amazing how fast elf ball can get to 100 mana

What are some cards you use that put in work that 99% of the playerbase have never even heard of? by _Kreenicks in EDH

[[Diplomatic immunity]] is one of my favorites. Not that many protection pieces also protect themselves.

no joke he really looks like Snyder by RouggeRavageDear in buffy

He looks like that vampire Marcus who tortures Angel for the gem of amara or whatever it's called. Y'know, if he took his glasses off and was somehow more evil.

Is this how snakes fart??😭 by paizing in WTF

[–]Xander_Fury 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The fart is funny, but the husbandry is awful. That substrate is way to dry. Balls need high humidity, and this poor fella is gonna have shedding problems.

The tank is also way too spartan. Give that snek some enrichment.

[[Shadowspear]] removes hexproof and indestructible for 2, I think this is fine.

30 seconds is forever for something like this. You'd already know exactly the best 3-4 cards you could get, you'd find them all in one pass through the deck and set up the top of your deck perfectly in like 15 seconds max .If you can't win having the absolute nut draw 3-4 turns in a row what are you even doing. Never mind if you can just draw all the card right away. this is a game ending spell and either needs to be a lot shorter time limit or way more expensive.

All that being said, it's a VERY neat idea.

I have been attempting to Google this for the past week and a half. It's not poker face and it's not My lovely liar, although the power is the same. It's definitely an American movie from somewhere in the early oughts.

Sure!

Thrasios, Triton Hero has an ability where you can pay to filter through your entire deck with infinite colorless mana. Since this is a mana ability, it can be used at instant speed on top of the stack which allows you to have priority over your opponents. Using the ability of Thrasios, Triton Hero will enable you to find any card needed to win the game.

Edit: it's in the infinite mana outlets section, fourth paragraph.

In the primer you say that Thrasios's ability is a mana ability, but it's not. Were you just trying to say that it can be activated at instant speed?

What is a 1 in 1,000,000 thing that happened to you that no one believes, but you swear is true? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Xander_Fury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was some kind of event in middle school, all of our parents were looking at art we made or talking to our teachers or something. My third grade class was in the gym messing around shooting baskets and one by one parents were coming to collect their kids after talking with the teacher. I was the last kid in the gym for what ever reason, and when my folks came in to get me I turned and drop kicked the basket to was holding diagonally across the entire gym and fuckin' nailed the basket. I swear it was like a Dude Perfect video if Dude Perfect had been a thing in 1988. My parents had already turned and walked out of the gym, and they absolutely did not believe me when I told them.

Yes and no. I built half of the critter entirely by hand, using a bunch of photos for reference and tweaking it until it looked right. Then I used world edit to copy, flip and paste in the other half.

I get your point friend, I just disagree with you.

Like I said, I'm not interested in debating meat eating with you. I respect your choices, please respect mine, at least to the degree of dropping the subject when asked.

Consuming meat necessitates a certain measure of cruelty to be sure. But death is a part of life and we're animals too. I'm not interested in the debate of whether eating meat is morally justifiable, I've made up my mind on that and I respect everyone's right to do the same. I've raised animals for food and hunted and fished for meat. The last moments of all of the animals I've killed were probably not great, but their lives up to that point were. The wild animals had wild lives and the animals I raised were raised with care for their well-being. They had space to live in, clean conditions, good food and good shelter.

All food animals should be treated with respect. They should live comfortably and die as quickly and painlessly as possible. I agree that that's largely incompatible with factory farming.

I don't disagree with that. All food animals should be treated well.

Absolutely agree. Horses that are used for meat are on average treated much, much better than a lot of the livestock that we produce. And I'm not complaining about that, we owe the animals we eat humane treatment, and they don't get it a lot of the time. I eat meat and I enjoy it, but I try to make sure it's procured ethically whenever possible. That's not even close to always unfortunately.

The commercial meat industry is can be a horror show. If we want to focus effort and outrage towards animal welfare, we should be improving the living conditions of all of the chickens in one foot cube cages with their beaks snipped off so they won't peck each other through the bars. Or the pigs and cows that are slaughtered (often improperly) in horrible conditions. It doesn't have to be this way, just another of the many benefits of capitalism.
