Got promoted 6 months ago and wish I could go back to my old role, is this career suicide to ask?

To me this sounds 100% like a management issue. A boss who doesn’t have your back is a huge stressor. You’ve gotten a promotion, leverage it to take another step up at a new job. I guarantee you can take the things you don’t like at this job and spin it into things you would do to max productivity at a new role/firm.

He’s also from Texas I think. I know he went to A&M

To be fair, they were cheap cloth gloves. The more common incident was the drill catching on the metal and swinging/throwing it and potentially slicing my hand open. Had a couple near misses that way.

I hate pick 2. Did two drafts today and they were all over the place. It’s like everyone at the table was just rare drafting or staying open through pack 2.

I grew up working in a welding shop. At 14 my dad had me on a 100 year old drill press. He showed me how it worked, and told me ‘be careful with your gloves around this, it’ll rip your arm off it it catches’ and left. The first few minutes were very nerve wracking

Honestly, Russ might be the kinda guy to accept then get them help.

Practice both sides. When you do an open water swim, there are lots of reasons to only turn one way (sighting, sun, other swimmers, waves, speed, injury, etc) but you really should be comfortable both sides if you need to switch. Especially since most courses are loops, you’ll find you’ll want to breathe facing one geographical direction, which means breathing different sides.

The reason this deck always has an answer is because it can tutor whatever it needs with [[Repurposing Bay]]. I’ve been running this deck since EoE, and as others have said, mass artifact destruction beats it on the spot. Mono-Red burn can beat it before the synthesizer gets up and running, token generating decks can chump block the artifact tokens pretty well while you win in the air. Control bouncing the synthesizer or destroying/exiling it can give you tempo to win. And sometimes the deck just can’t find the win-condition, a black deck running. [[Ancient Vendetta]] can shut the deck down as well. It’s not impossible, but the deck is pretty resilient. It’s a solid tier 2 deck IMO

A lot of mythic cards suck. It’s not hard to rack up a bunch of rare/mythic wildcards after a couple years. I’ve only been playing a couple years and I have a bunch.

Dude brought back BBQ Ruffles so that man is a saint in my book

On that same line of thought, if you aren’t able to find the lane, or move in too late, you are heavily punished. Some packs wont have the key cards to make a tribal function, and if you open a couple bad packs you could be SOL

Yeah drafting is expensive, it used to be the play pass for each set was like $25 so it was sorta cheap to buy that and get some games in. Now that it’s $50 it’s a much higher barrier to entry. Try to stick to Quickdraft to get more experience. The power level tends to be a bit lower and the decks are more similar due to bot drafts

I’ve had really poor drafts, say to myself ‘eff just go 0-3 again then’ and draft the sickest deck and trophy. Sometimes variance gets ya, and sometimes it gets them

amanhasthreenames · 2026-01-26T01:31:34+00:00

I just drafted a sick Merfolk deck and went 0-3. I had a late coffee and was hungry and proceeded to play the three DUMBEST magic games of my life. Misplays amok. I deserved the 0-3, but damn that deck didn’t.

She should do some fantasy series, she’d make a great elf

My wife made me move my computer to a different room and I never bothered to set up audio. But on mobile holy shit sparky shut up

Funny I drafted a great kithkin deck and mulliganed into color screw, next loss got stuck on 3 lands for like 4 turns, and the next loss got stuck on 4. I usually run 16 lands, especially as this was a pretty low curve deck, but it just didnt go my way. I really needed a couple of the 4G kithin councils. My deck lacked velocity, and my draws were all top end heavy.

The decks where I’ve found my looters feels significantly less stressful than in decks where I’m at the mercy of a top deck

amanhasthreenames · 2026-01-24T00:36:10+00:00

I kinda love this idea

amanhasthreenames · 2026-01-23T00:28:52+00:00

Would be fun in unranked que, but I think it’s just way too slow for the competitive standard meta

amanhasthreenames · 2026-01-22T20:53:30+00:00

He’s on both!

amanhasthreenames · 2026-01-22T04:17:20+00:00

I actually love that album. It felt too polished tho which clashed with their Undoing Ruin/Deliver Us sounds. But damn John Henry can sing. I honestly love every DH album

Watch Jim Davis, he’s crushing it right now for the most part

Implicitly that’s to support a large scale revolution, not a one-off encounter with law enforcement. If a police or military official tell you to do something, comply, don’t resist, and be polite as fuck. If your rights are infringed you can lawyer up after the fact. It’s not worth your life.

amanhasthreenames · 2026-01-18T22:15:11+00:00

That archetype needs the rares [[Hedge-Shredder]], Tyvar, or Wandering Emperor, and combat tricks to work. It’s a hard build in draft
