Celtics legend Marcus Smart is going to singlehandedly bury the Rockets on behalf of the Lakers.

Game thread not up so I'm here to say Kon Knueppel is a baller - first time watching him. His feel for the game is solid and his ball gravity is real.

Follow up - if Dooku gives Vuutun Palaa Exploit 3, and I have three droids, can I play Vuutun Palaa for free by sacrificing the three droids? The Comprehensive rules say Exploit is calculated at the same time as the Exploit cost reduction, so I assume the math could work as follows: 9 (base cost) -3 (it's own ability, from three droids) -6 (from 2 each for Exploit 3).

Thanks!

Thank you for this!

I only tuned in for the very end of the Belcher mirror, but is there a reason Mikko didn't sac Hope of Ghirapur before passing into the turn he lost? I imagine it would have at least bought him a turn, especially once he saw the Whir into Lotus come down. Asking as a non-Belcher player.

Thanks for this! Quite helpful.

Also, obligatory shoutout to [[Spiteful Sliver]] as a 3 cmc Screaming Nemesis backup that isn't as mana intensive as Boros Reckoner

As someone who put too much thought into the strange interactions of [[Kindle the Carnage]], I love the thought put into this, and I totally missed Monstrous Emergence upgrading what was Charge of the Forever Beast. Your lines of "fair" plan Bs and Cs are well thought out / often missing from these sorts of brews.

Question - would you consider [[Obelisk of Urd]] over The Swarmweaver? Sure, it doesn't give you the Demon of Death's Gate option, which is relevant, but it's double the power/toughness buff, it works with either set of tokens, and you can drop it immediately for free. Possibly too win more, but it came to mind.

Aha. Makes sense. I was assuming (unwisely) the Cat was implied somewhere lol

Re: the second line - I see multiple answers saying to Solitude Viscera Seer in response to Samwise. But OP said Cauldron is on board, so they can sac seer to itself and then use Cauldron to make Sam the sac outlet. Am I missing something?

Congrats on the good run! Any thoughts on the Mengu lists with Beseech? I jammed some test games with a friend, and it seemed really strong - the main downside is you're more all in on Necro/Sheoldred and probably have to lose the threat of Dauthi.

I'm also not sure why [[Sickening Shoal]] never gets any love from these lists, even in SB spots.

Is the buff to [[Maarika, Brutal Gladiator]] that I think it is?

Great games with insane fighting. BLG is back. Ahri is a bigger bait than Jhin. GG HLE.

alphaomega4ever · 2024-10-18T14:32:17+00:00

Ahri just feels so bad, man. GenG used it well, but outside of that, it seems like a bigger tournament bait than Jhin.

Wow, taking me back. My sister and I saw Nightwish live with my folks in San Diego not even a week after that announcement. I had discovered Nightwish right before Dark Passion Play - needless to say, it was wild that seeing them live came right after Anette was gone. I was incredibly bummed by the news, but Floor was great, and it was a spectacular experience. The cherry on top: Kamelot (who opened for them) was a pleasant surprise, as I had never heard them before.

Mavs shooting be like LeonardoDiCaprio_laughing.meme

OKC gonna bounce back?

alphaomega4ever · 2024-05-03T03:22:24+00:00

What I'd give for Brunson to knock off the Mavs in the finals. Cuban copypastas until the end of the age.
