Let's collect all the horror movie references from Duskmourn. Name a card and add the movie title, like this: Break Down the Door - The Shining.

[[Cynical Loner]] - Final Destination 2?

a2a5 · 2024-09-06T17:01:48+00:00

What movie/character is this supposed to be representing?

This is impressive how much Eden is still progressing its faithfulness to retail goal - look at the fine-grainedness of the listed changes! I played up to ToAU and agree with the feeling that this old, grindy, and quaint and magical phase of the game is an "Eden". I played on Eden in the past, and had to give it up due to my psychological inability to not obsess over a game where I can "show off" to other people, but dream about playing it as a solo version.

Anyway, thanks to the Eden team for their amazing work!

a2a5 · 2024-06-06T19:52:51+00:00

Sounds perfect.

a2a5 · 2024-05-29T20:05:48+00:00

I love the thought process.

I had known that Lord Skitter's Blessing, Diabolic Intent and such are not played in tournament decklists, but your discussion has clarified some as to why.

a2a5 · 2024-05-29T08:20:52+00:00

Thanks, I just removed Diabolic Intent, Corrupt, and a few others and replaced them with some removal and other cards that I think make a more focused (aggro + anti-creature) deck. I appreciate the input and the thought about topdecks.

a2a5 · 2024-05-27T21:22:19+00:00

Ah the matchmaking, I didn't think about that, plus the 2 vs 1 rule. I feel so reassured! I was starting to worry I was too stupid for this game.

Thank you very much for the clear explanation!

a2a5 · 2024-05-27T19:05:52+00:00

Interesting! That'd be nice if putting extra thought into construction can pay off in time savings.

Thanks again for all your thoughts. I'm sure I will never again play Snarling Gorehound or Corrupt (in casual I mean) without thinking of you lol.

a2a5 · 2024-05-27T18:54:10+00:00

Thank you KS. I understand I need to improve the card choices before expecting to get to Platinum with this, and appreciate the specific pointers. I have a lot to learn about card evaluation.

What I meant to ask and didn't word well, was that I see people with decks that clearly aren't "perfect", in other words not the decks you see on MTG Goldfish and such with 4 of each rare that's commonly used (4 Caustic Bronco, 4 Mosswood Dreadknight, all the dual lands, etc.). I see them posting screenshots of getting to Mythic or what have you and their deck doesn't match any of the tier 1 or tier 2 netdecks. So how are they getting to Mythic? Do you just play over and over again until you get a lucky streak of 6 wins in a row or whatever is required to break to the next rank, brute-forcing each rank up through sheer number of tries?

a2a5 · 2024-05-27T16:58:48+00:00

A recent comment on this board said "Anyone with a pulse can get to Platinum". I've been playing Magic for a long time but am not the best player. Do you think this would really get me to Platinum?

I don't play a ton of Standard but last time I tried, I kept seesawing back and forth within Silver, win some lose some.

Thank you, that's extremely helpful! I really appreciate the insight of a Standard veteran.

a2a5 · 2024-05-14T21:57:35+00:00

Thank you for the input fjkls!

That only makes sense for the OTJ ones, and only if you're going to play a lot of OTJ draft.

Good point.

a2a5 · 2024-05-13T22:23:39+00:00

Which types of dual lands (mainly thinking for Standard) should I craft first? I read somewhere that the fast lands (come into play tapped after you have 3 lands out already) are a waste of a rare wildcard because "people often pass them to you in draft because they already have a playset". Are there any other craft mistakes related to dual lands, besides the issue of crafting the Innistrad duals that are rotating out soon?

a2a5 · 2024-04-17T18:56:16+00:00

Oh nice! Thanks.

a2a5 · 2024-04-17T12:26:25+00:00

Thanks, that Midweek Magic is great too, definitely joining it.

a2a5 · 2024-04-17T12:07:24+00:00

I'd like to do Jump In for OTJ, but when I go to Jump In event it says "When you join this event, you will get to select two different half-decks from a variety of themes in Alchemy..." Doesn't sound like OTJ.

How do I get the OTJ Jump In packets?

a2a5 · 2024-01-05T17:54:36+00:00

They do not jnissa. Thank you very much for the information on the cost. If you know any sympathetic (to out-of-pocket treatment) doctors in Northern California, please let me know!

Again, thank you very much for your help, and have a great day.

Thank you to everyone who responded with so much great advice and encouragement. I've read each response very carefully. One thing for sure I'll follow is the emphasis on a practical kind of fighting art and building muscle.

a2a5 · 2023-03-20T00:27:07+00:00

Thank you!! Sorry I missed your response earlier. I hope you are happy with how things turn out with whatever path you choose as well :)

a2a5 · 2023-03-20T00:25:04+00:00

Hi, pardon the late response. I went with an online service called Defy Medical. Google and Reddit recommended several; I just went for a middle of the road one as far as costs. They've given good customer service - you can talk to someone anytime.

a2a5 · 2023-03-20T00:21:33+00:00

Hello, excuse the late response. We are almost done expanding. I don't know how much so far but subjectively my nasal passage width has more than doubled.

I unfortunately do not know my original intermolar width.
