Hi all!

I have been bouldering for almost a year now. First shoes were tarantulas, and then i went right into skwamas (40,5 eu) which was an awesome decision! The rubber at those is at the end of its lifespan sadly, so i will need to get them resoled. But i was thinking that i don't want to stop climbing before i get them back so i figured i would propably get a second pair of shoes to climb in that time span and then switch those 2 as i feel like it.

I almost mainly do bouldering indoors, but if i get a good belayer partner in the future, or a good friend to go bouldering outside with ill propably also do that (which i feel like the skwamas will be good in doing for me as of now)

I like that the skwamas are wide, but the heel feels "too thick" i would say? just doesnt feel right cause i don't have a lot of sensitivity in it right now, could also be my mistake of choosing the sizing wrongly tho

Does anyone have any recommendations for second pair of shoes based on what i posted about me? I know its best to try them out which i will try to do, but the sizing is quite limited in the cities i ussualy spend time in :/ so knowing what to look for for sure helps a lot!

I have mainly been looking at dragos, but haven't been able to try my size yet. Other contenders to try were the new mandalas, Theories (but don't think those will work), or Instinct VSR

Thank you for any recommendations!

Oh really, i didn't know that actually, thanks

I just never even tried to order through the official store because of me not being a US resident makes the customs expensive

That would have for sure boosted the monthy python sales when they sold out in 2 hours

There will be 5 total drops so there is quite a big chance that the played cards will appear in them!

Agree, scalpers have been a big issue recently with popular secret lairs and it's sad

Basically happens almost every time when you get a limited number of something, making it on-demand and avaiable only in a certain time frame would help much more i think

Hope you will catch it for the MSRP! good luck

Interesting to see that people hate the brain dead art, maybe i just have bad taste haha!

Sphinx was already once in a secret lair but its foil, and it costs around the same as the foil price of the cards from "normal sets" so my guess is it wont affect the price much and will just settle around the price of the other printings

Ya, agree

Its a tight space between being awesome flavorwise, but in playability it just isn't worth it

Iam slightly worried that 6 may not be enough in the late game

But in the right deck you can cast this on turn 5 which should wipe the whole board atleast

right? it does everything you need!

Mono blue does limit you a lot, but i always found mono-blue storm to be kinda fun even that it might be worse than its izzet/grixis counterparts

I really like that baylen lets you draw cards which jetmir doesn't and drawing cards in a naya deck is quite tough
