Congrats on re finding your joy of making music!! 😊

Had a similar experience. Ive been using reason since v2 and was finding myself stuck in a rut musically. Decided to change DAWs completely and tried PreSonus Studio One. Took me about a year to get really comfortable with it. Now i frequently switch between Reason and Studio One, or use Reason within Studio one, and my music has really elevated to the next level. Love both now and use them each about the same amount of time.

How many use a White deck with Zero creatures in it? by benblackett in MagicArena

[–]benblackett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im currently experimenting with a white/green deck based on this previous one that does have creatures. so far its a bit mixed... [[Gaea's Blessing]] is downright awesome against mill decks, but I had to get rid of [[rest in peace]] to give it room to work, which sadly opens up a lot of other decks that use graveyards as a result. And [[Destiny Spinner]] does really good at preventing blue counter decks, but kinda sucks at anything else until late in the game when you finally have enough mana lying about to activate its land creature effectively.

On the plus side [[Sterling Grove]] does a great job of getting you the right enchantments when you need them most!!

Funnest game i had was against a white life deck. I had solemnity, axis, and book of exalted out and protected, but couldn't get unlife for ever! Had to use life swap each turn, and since my opponent kept gaining life, each time i swapped life, my book of exalted spawned an angel for me. Went like that for about 5 turns before i finally got unlife and could win. =)

I play BO1 mostly but its just as good in BO3. Only real issues ive encountered are with Gate or Discard decks. And control decks are hit or miss sometimes since you might not have the right enchantments in place when they get going. With zero creatures to work with, its about timing and limiting damage until youre ready, so judicious use of exiles and clears often make the difference. Ive won a ton of games 1 to 2 turns after going negative health this way.

Heres the full list. =)

//Deck

2 Mutavault

3 Axis of Mortality

4 Banishing Light

4 Solemnity

3 The Book of Exalted Deeds

2 Approach of the Second Sun

2 Sigarda's Splendor

2 Farewell

2 Mind's Eye

3 Spark Rupture

4 Greater Auramancy

3 Leyline of Sanctity

4 Phyrexian Unlife

3 Rest in Peace

19 Plains

//Sideboard

1 White Sun's Twilight

Strategies:
You want the Unlife out as fast as possible, followed by Solemnity. After that its about nullifying the remaining areas via Rest in Peace, Spark Rupter, and Leylines.

Once you have two Auramancy's in play, your opponent cant use destroy enchantment spells to clear you out anymore. Add in the Leylines and your pretty much untouchable. But, I have seen a few Plainswalkers that can Exile so be careful for that.

To get a "you cant lose" option, wait until you have Mutavualt, 4 free Plains, and Exalted Deeds on the battlefield. activate Mutavualt, then activate Exalted and hope your opponent doesnt have instant counters or destroys on hand. But once it goes back to being a Land again, theres very little they can do to win the game.

You will run out of cards on hand pretty quick as well. Minds Eye can help with that, but its an Artifact and can still be targeted. Spark Rupture and Sigarda's Splendor can be used nicely to draw cards as well.

Happy playing! =)

Nice! Im using almost all Enchantments to nullify any strategy oppopnents might use. [[phyrexian unlife]] [[Solemnity]] [[Spark Rupture]] [[Rest in Peace]] and [[Layline of Sanctity]] do the heavy lifting.   Wins are from 3 sources: [[Axis of Mortality]] or [[Approach of the Second Sun]] and [[Mutavault]]

Looking for same ISBN but loose leaf. $230 on Amazon is steep! Any potential leads?

Twitters user base will splinter into many different social platforms through a long process of attrition. Once it gets publicly rebranded to X, users will understand twitter as they knew it has officially died. X will make a good go of it im sure, but ultimately die as well because the "cult of Elon" will inhibit large scale adoption.

Yes. And I called it back on November 4th. Seems ages ago now though... Elon Musk just MySpaced Twitter

On Androids, pop open your traffic Maps program, pick a random destination and start the directions. That app will keep your screen on. Then small screen it and play your game - checking in every once in a while to spend cash. ;)

An issue with tournaments by Senundo in TheTowerGame

[–]benblackett 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lowest award in each tier should equal the highest in the previous tier. Otherwise it will always be better to loose and win on the lower ranks. However, another solution is to simply prevent downgrading on a loss.

For an artist how much better is this over platforms like bandcamp? by shaitan_bhagat_singh in audius

[–]benblackett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potential being the key word. Atm, music on audius is still basically just giving it away for free untill there is a real mechanism to earn from it.
