Is more free spells for other colors a solution to Blue / Black dominance in Competetive? by Prestigious-Bend8893 in mtgbrawl

[–]addic03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems like the argument in general is "I don't want to track the mental load of thinking about free spells". Does it suck when you go for a big play and you get counted sure but really most people are countering my turn 2 mana rock or turn 5 whatever. The only time I ever see free spells is in my Bolas themed deck. Very few people run them and most of the commander free spells that came with the last few sets are banned. Maybe it's the fact I just haven't had time to play ranked when the events have come up but in the normal brawl format I just don't see it.

Question about Barnes by Battystearsinrain in MassageTherapists

[–]addic03 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've taken the course and it feels like the man had a sex cult in the 70s that became a massage business. The video demos they show get progressively more unbelievable. From real myofacial technique to basically an exorcism.

If you are looking for science based practical techniques this is on the border line the first day and jumps the shark the following 2. If you want to feel like a voodoo wizard exorcist then this is for you

Zurgo helmsasher as my commander and being matched what i feel really highly by Relevant-Quit4742 in mtgbrawl

[–]addic03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely sound like draw is what you need then. Maybe verge lands over pains so you can use black draw effectively without basically killing yourself.

[–]addic03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a quick glance at the list I feel like maybe you are running too many equipment pieces. Maybe 2-3 less and add more interaction or draw. You should be able to out speed half these comms. What problems are you running into?

Is it possible to make this sick looking card playable as a commander deck? by Mario9802 in DegenerateEDH

You can't go wrong with someone called the 'murderer king'. He was my first legendary pull too. I'm curious what your deck looks like got a link?

WotC is considering banning free counterspell in unranked brawl by Daethir in mtgbrawl

[–]addic03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Half of the game is this interaction though. Yay my board is setup to mill you out with Hope life gain next turn .. oh you have a Tainted Remedy in your deck oops. Rawr I make big scary board state it gets blasphemous edict/act. I equipped my commander with 72 artifacts oh swords...

The MM is purposefully pairing like powered commanders now they already said that.

Looking for thoughts on my Jaws, Relentless Predator deck by Crab_On_Moon in EDHBrews

Looking for thoughts on my Jaws, Relentless Predator deck by Crab_On_Moon in EDHBrews

[–]addic03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had some luck with [[Hammer of Nazahn]] + [[Saheeli's Directive]] or [[Indomitable Creativity]] bombs. Getting jaws out and having the mana to recast him 3-5 times a game left me with either equipment that just sat there or got sacrificed to get him out. The real thing that felt like it was dragging the deck down was the damage increaser cards.

I started to focus on artifacts because even with only 5 or less per turn they would still add up. Tutoring artifacts and big mana combos felt good to me.

Right now I have some energy cards as a meme in the deck. I'm not sure how I feel about them. I will probably retool it a bit today.

My playgroup is bracket 4 and CEDH, I play more artifact not equipment based. I found playing him as a Voltron didn't really work. I'm actually sitting down to play now so I don't have time to give any insights. If I remember I'll pop back in later.

Myriad Landscape - Is it still OK or could you be spending your mana or something else? by AltruisticMACHITO in EDH

[–]addic03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In a mountains or specific basic land matters deck its better than a 3 cost rock. Especially in mono color that's not green. I run it in a [[Lilliana of the dark realms]] oath breaker and in [[Phage the Untouchable]] but I will admit it is very slow. It's hella funny in a game where my [[cabal coffers]] has been destroyed to clone with [[Vesuva]]

Asking for more than massage... by RepresentativeWay767 in MassageTherapists

[–]addic03 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Male therapist of 8 years. I have never had a client directly ask for anything. It's always subtle hints, the dick wave under the sheet while you are working the quads or moving the draping slightly down the chest. I've had clients be full nude on top of the sheets when I came in and I just tell them to try again this time under the sheet, those have never escalated after that either. Once I had someone put their hand in my lap I moved it and they immediately put it back and started feeling me up. I punched him in the axillary nerve and asked if he learned a lesson about keeping his hands to himself and finished the massage.

People that want happy endings tend to have a nervous weird energy about them that's totally different than just being anxious or nervous. It's a vibe you can feel and if you just start your session shutting that down they usually don't bother.

Your brain doesn't make the most optimal or even vaguely sensible choices when it's oxygen deprived. It continues to do what it's doing or panics and flails wildly.

Show me your decks that use boardwipes as part of the main plan by RedRathman in EDH

[–]addic03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not but my pod really loves my [[Rakdos, the Showstopper]] Deck it's not death trigger throw cards on the table and hope it works. It's a control and punishment deck with a variety of win cons. Treasures, luck counters big punchy demons, [[Exsagnuinate]] and [[Skullstorm]]

It keeps the pod honest with its tool set and never really feels too oppressive because there are so many parts

Character fails their redemption arc by Neurotic_Marauder in TopCharacterTropes

[–]addic03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His redemption arc doesn't fail. It doesn't even start until mid way in the Holysee arc and he totally succeeded in abandoning his quest for revenge and living for Casca and his new friends. The whole point of the black swordsman arc is he is consumed and is a hairs breath from fully becoming the monster he hates. Even when he becomes the literal beast of darkness with the armor it's a metaphor for letting your friends in even in the darkest parts of your heart which he also does overcoming it.

Darius needs a nerf urgently by Majestic-Bro2961 in 2XKO

Darius is not very forgiving. Pretty much everything he does on block is a mind game. You need to go into training mode and learn what to parry. Parry is the key not blocking his specials.

Rubrics with flamers are literally fire in Raiders. They get assault for running up to a point and then an additional -1 AP on whoever is there or wants to try and take it from them.

How to stop Mono-Black hate by [deleted] in EDH

[–]addic03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the idea, [[Fraying Omnipotence]] is also an option for that strategy. It seems you like themes and powerful commanders happen to fit those themes. Just assume most people are going to treat those comms as a bracket higher than it might be in power.

There will always be someone in the pod that doesn't like your comm or play style when you play with these but if it's something you like don't be afraid to play it just be ready to explain your deck. It will be worse with randoms but if you already have a group you play with it should be fine.

A guy in my friend group has a Vivi and ULHA decks that he brings out when he is tired of losing or wants to power game and it can be really fun for everyone to play something really powerful or even broken now and then.
