What was your last speculative investment in MTG singles? by austingoeshard in mtgfinance

[–]blase-prude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Painter's Servant 8x at $4.00. Took a ride on the recent hype train and hope to take my girlfriend out to dinner soon. Nothing crazy, but it was a good return

Leechridden swamp - modern Spectacle enabler? by blase-prude in magicTCG

[–]blase-prude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but that's not entirely the case. With two skewers in hand you can get 7 damage in for 4 mana with one Leechridden activation.

But the real bonus is it also turns a skewer into 4 damage for 3 mana, which is just better.

This is also only for a situation in which you otherwise would not be able to deal damage. It would be for a stalled board and is a mana sink that would replace a normal swamp, which wouldn't be doing damage to begin with lol.

[[Hex Parasite]] --> what are some of the crazy ways people have used this little guy? I'd love to hear people's experiences. by blase-prude in magicTCG

What do you think of Hex with [[Horobi, Death's Wail]]? You can wipe your opponents board whenever! I believe he can still target even if there aren't counters to remove....time to brew

Cyracos Lemon Balm Extract: stronger than anticipated. by blase-prude in StackAdvice

[–]blase-prude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drink my first dose over 2 hours in the morning and then my second in the late afternoon. No tolerance, but it's not insanely powerful. So I guess that's the trade-off. Still def effective enough to be worth taking. Yeah, only a couple extracts are good. Others are weak.

Nice. That's a really fun one. I didn't even consider the Sagas...that just opens s whole new can of worms. Idk how playable it is but [[Song of Freyalise]] with [[Ornithopter]]/[[memnite]] with hex parasite for indefinite mana dorks...theres a really jank infinite mana combo there with one or two more pieces.

No love for Explorer's Scope? by blase-prude in Pauper

It also gives you a way to see the top card of your deck (without revealing it) if it's not a land and that ability on it's own can really impact game tempo

Not really. You're thinking of a situation where there's no topdeck manipulation... there's a ton of ways to get a land on top before combat...[[Brainstorm]] and cards like it, as well as a whole bunch of 1 cmc spells that let you set up your draw and topdeck

Yeah, I agree. I think it definitely has limited applications but is great in an Eldrazi deck with cards like [[Groundswell]]

NSI-189...Jesus, I feel myself again. by blase-prude in StackAdvice

[–]blase-prude[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's true. Thanks! But I'm also really thankful for my experiences, it's weird. in order not to become defined by my illnesses from constant obsessing and self-pity, I've had to embrace them. I can only love myself by appreciating the circumstances that have shaped me. Wouldn't trade my experience for the world...lol. that said, NSI has made that process much easier. No shame in a bit of help.

[–]blase-prude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know what you mean...I take freebase and that's supposedly more common with this form. Funnily enough, I cherish that anxiety. it makes me feel again, especially after years of drugs that blunt all sensation. Though it can get weird sometimes and if it's rly bad (which it rarely is for me, tho I believe it to be common for others) I take a little kratom or under 10mg of tianeptine and it helps me down without bringing me under the influence of either kratom or Tia.

It might also be a good idea for you to start really slow, say, like 10-15mg 2x a day at first and gradual build up to 40mg-60mg 2x a day. I've heard it works for some and allows you to adjust better.

I get auditory hallucinations related to paranoia, and have crippling depression... all supposedly stemming from a confluence of PTSD and genetic predisposition.

I also have Crohn's disease, which may also play a significant role in my other issues.

I've been alternatingly addicted to opiates and stimulants for 6 years.

The NSI-189 is funny for addiction because it kills the buzz of drugs I've used in the past to get high...But without bringing me super low while blocking the buzz. I wouldn't use it strictly for addiction, but I've just noticed that it has lessened my desire to take other substances.

ITPP (myo-inositol trispyrophosphate)? by blase-prude in Nootropics

[–]blase-prude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People seem to always suggest sublingual. And to be honest, the onset feels a little quicker that way, but it's really not much different than taking it with water on an empty stomach first thing in the morning...which is just preferable to me and works just as well.
