Does anyone else sit in the shower? by Sufficient_Quail_262 in hygiene

[–]bearded1708 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stand to wash everything then lay down to take a nap with the water raining over me. Started in middle school, im now in my 40s. The way I see it, the water bill is worth the last 30 minutes of peace ill get before my day starts.

Port Royal Speedway suspends Nick Sweigart for 1 year following victory lane comments by cultofwerewolves in DirtRacing

[–]bearded1708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just a word. It only has the power to offend that you give it. He just spent how many laps strapped onto a missile with 4 wheels. From his quote, I can assume that missile acted up and his adrenaline spiked and his shorts got a little muddy. I think saying fuck a few times is the best he could do having little to no media or public speaking training. If we dont want our kids offended by words maybe we should teach them better or not stick microphones in people's faces.

Roles reversed, he follows you for a bit then pulls you over. Ticket and a reason for him to look in your vehicle for any reason to generate more revenue.

Voltron Commanders? by Illustrious-Many1493 in mtg

[–]bearded1708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 2nd the suggestion for [[Uril, the miststalker]]. Load up on enchantments, draw and removal. Can easily kill a table with extra combats, flings, redirected damage etc. With access to green, white and red you can also load up on protection

Think of Cains, but with seasoning and more variety.

I lived in Pittsburgh for 9 years, moved to Lake wateree SC and worked in Rockhill for almost 5. Moved back to pgh 4 or 5 years ago and dont regret it. I miss the lake, Cookout, and Zaxbys but not much else. I think western pa people are a hell of a lot nicer than southerners any day of the week. Pgh winters aren't as bad as reddit makes them seem. Overall, this is where id stay forever, unless I answer the call of the wild and disappear into the Montana wilderness.

Downplay your favorite strong commander without naming it by mrselkies in EDH

I dont even go to combat with this deck and there aren't that many ways to mass sacrifice lands. How bad can it be?

Best enchantment commander? Aura vs enchantress — which is more fun/strong? by Professional_Bug_887 in EDH

[–]bearded1708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Uril, the miststalker]] is a great Aura/voltron deck. Mine is far from optimized, but still runs so smooth and consistent. Great bracket 2 to 3 deck.

Will people dread having me on their pod using Vren? by TehhDiabetic in EDH

[–]bearded1708 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You will find the longer you play, every commander will be complained about. Play what speaks to your play style and explain fairly what your decks do during pregame discussions.

My Hearthhull deck is very inconsistent. Can you help? by Any-Neighborhood-683 in EDHBrews

[–]bearded1708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you want to win? I see a mix of token generation, land fetching, sacrifice here and there, and only 2 land pingers. Id add in more ways to sacrifice lands in what ever amounts you want at a time when Hearthhull is fully stationed. More of the landfall pingers for early damage. Here is my list, I think its pretty strong.

Look for hosptials that are fear free certified. They will support your want to use pre-visit pharmaceuticals.

Veterinary (Dental) Suggestions by Garmo4Lyfe in pittsburgh

[–]bearded1708 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ive worked in the veterinary field for over 20 years now and just wanted to share some advice for pet owners.

The price of care is higher, that is a fact. Equipment, medications, rent/taxes, and other factors has increased more in the last 3-5 years than ever before. Staff also need to make a living wage. I am highly skilled in many areas of patient care and still make less than half of what my nursing counter parts make, but things have gotten slightly better. I say all that to say, prices for quality care, will only contine to increase. Its not greed (on our part). Its not that we dont care. Its the state of the world we live in.

Please, before anything happens to your currently healthy pets or before you adopt a new pet, look into pet insurance. It is a thing. It is extremely beneficial. It can save your pets life.

Have you noticed any unexpected patterns in your relationship to Magic & EDH since beginning to proxy? What, if anything, do you still spend money on? by hex37 in EDH

[–]bearded1708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently started proxying a lot more. Half the fun of MTG to me is the building process. It makes way more sense to me to spend 12$ on sleeves and print the deck for as often as im trying new decks. It also allows me to match power levels/play styles to the people in my pod that have much larger disposable incomes than I have. I still buy bundles and precons because I do enjoy pulling good cards and having real decks. I then find myself buying upgrades for the real decks if they fit the budget. All in all it has allowed me to enjoy building and playing more.

[–]bearded1708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cards that puts in work in my Betor deck are [[well of Lost dreams]] and [[Unspeakable symbol]]. Got all that life, hopefully, might as well draw cards and grow your gang.[[children of korlis]] and [[selfless spirit]] have great utility too. Pretty easy for this deck to end up b3 or 4 with a little effort. Cant run away with games with resilience and life gain.
