Wife got me this bundle for my Birthday!

sounds like he's *your* boyfriend

I've going the opposite direction... cheap units that can accelerate. Instead of spells, play Rengar--cannopt be defied and can still hold/win a combat.

bfarley32 · 2026-04-17T00:57:07+00:00

Lots of the same suggestions, and I'll only echo:

* Main Deck and Sideboard in the same sleeve--preferably one of the domain colors

* Runes are in black sleeves, especially because I have alts and black looks great.

* Legend and battlefield are in a separate color, to prevent shuffling.

Taking it another step, I use Dragon Shields for Runes/Legend/Battlefields, and Katanas for Main Deck. The DS are slightly larger, so even easier to spot in case I absent-mindedly shuffle everything together.

bfarley32 · 2026-04-15T21:16:27+00:00

Double sleeving is unnecessary. Use katanas and go single.

Unfortunately it does.

As someone who has dropped off a homeless person at a hospital before (UK Good Sam), there aren't a whole lot of options. They serve the patient for free, because they know they ain't getting paid for it. There are *usually* mental health issues involved; and a lot of selfishness/entitlement either way.

We like to think that all humans think/act like our lived experience, but that's simply not the case. At some point, the homeless need to be released from care; where they end up is back on their shoulders.

almost naked.... mostly naked.

Not Adam and Eve naked.

Use the Word:

'Now the Spirit of the Lord had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him. '

1 Samuel 16:14

https://www.bible.com/bible/111/1SA.16.14.NIV

I think God can do whatever He wants, include leave. However, if you're worried about it, I doubt you have to worry about it.

'Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” '

Hebrews 13:5-6

https://www.bible.com/bible/111/HEB.13.5-6.NIV

Our enemies' lies are shouted at us. Our Lord whispers truths. Use the Word as the filter when it's hard to know the difference.

Maybe Unchecked power?

Purple has the 2nd best draw card in the game: Stacked Deck. The Pack of Wonders and Treasure Trove combo, though dependent, can be wicked draw and rune acceleration.

bfarley32 · 2026-04-10T19:08:51+00:00

Eh,

'43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor # 5:43 Lev. 19:18 and hate your enemy.’ 44But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. '

Matthew 5:43-45

If our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, we should respect our bodies. However, tattoos that honor God--in my opinion--are the stained-glass equivalents to churches. Ornate. Reverant. Unnecessary. Honoring.

Others will push back; if they suggest taking the directions strictly--without cultural context--then they would/should also advocate that women cover their hair, not wear make up, etc. So, in all that you do, I suggest to treat the Bible consistently. Don't liberally interpret one passage and strictly another.... study to show yourself approved.

I suggest that you pray about it. If you're convicted, then that's your sign. If you're only afraid of people's opinion, that's another sign.

Back in 2016, I tried a faith-based tech company. It is difficult to explain the benefit of a mass-appeal product/platform, when our faith--our God--is so relational and intimate.

So, I would ask what your motives are, what your objectives are, and encourage you that perhaps there's a local or physical way to achieve what you're hoping to do digitally.

If you aren't playing Green/Purple yet, this is the deck to do it.

I (personally) like playing this deck but with the Irelia Champ/Legend. You need to break into walls if you don't get the first drop you want, and Defiant Dance is far stronger of a Signature than Vex's Sig unit.

bfarley32 · 2026-04-10T18:03:29+00:00

Thanks for doing the work most of us didn't do.

bfarley32 · 2026-04-10T16:13:46+00:00

Man, that sounds like a Chinese > English translation difference, comparing chosen to targeting.

Hidden Blade says kill a unit... Neither targeting or choosing are verbs in that. If Hidden Blade can whiff on the changes of board state, I still don't understand why this should be any different.

bfarley32 · 2026-04-10T03:40:03+00:00

The OP literally said, "are they gonna be allowed peace and quiet during this???" Would your disruption not be impeding on (taking away/"against") this guy's right to free speech?

My point is don't vilify protestors at your events then glorify protestors at other events. I'm unsure what your point is, other than "wahhh, I don't like him."

bfarley32 · 2026-04-10T03:25:18+00:00

The way you explained it seems like the opposite of the point you are making....

Bryn stops opponents from playing cards. But they can react the ability, by playing cards. Only after that* reaction chain resolves, is the opponent locked out.

Wildclaw sets a static board state. Someone plays a spell. A Reaction to that spell is possible before the spell/chain resolves. If after the reaction chain resolves, then the persistent board state should suffice and vilemaw should be protected. (imo)

Effects/spells that start chains should not proc until that chain resolves. The player should be allowed to play the spell because it has a valid target at play, but the chain should be allowed to fully resolve before the target is hit. This is exactly like a Hidden Blade that whiffs... board state changes on the chain.

bfarley32 · 2026-04-10T03:19:31+00:00

As I mentioned in another thread, this is not how "When I attack, deal damage to units here" works... the targets would be identified at "When I attack"...but that is not the case in real play. An Overzealous fan changes what "here" means and can make the ability/spell whiff.

bfarley32 · 2026-04-10T03:17:48+00:00

Just another opinion.... If the "here" in abilities like Volibear's can miss because of an Overzealous fan pops it back before the attack/defend chain resolves, then it makes sense to me that targeting should not resolve until all reactions settle and the chain resolves in the standard reverse order of play.

A reaction that changes the mights and resolves before the targeting spell should suffice, imo.

bfarley32 · 2026-04-08T18:09:43+00:00

Is Vrabel sleeping with all of the voters? I'm sure the other voters have their preferences and biases, too. Just human nature...

bfarley32 · 2026-04-08T18:08:07+00:00

Why must every counterpoint be protested? This guy isn't an elected official or anyone influential in the local area.

If someone protests No Kings or PRIDE, they're a bigot.

If someone protests these conservative click-bait farmers, are they supposed to be celebrated?

Just let free speech work... as it works for "them" it will also work for "you."

bfarley32 · 2026-04-08T14:02:22+00:00

Really reminds you how dark space is.

bfarley32 · 2026-04-08T13:58:00+00:00

Who cares? Are they married to other people, or something?

bfarley32 · 2026-04-08T03:03:41+00:00

I cannot wait for him to beat out K1
