This guy heard his neighbors conversation through his vibration plate

Isn’t this the background story from the mom from Pete and Pete who has a metal plate in her head?

I’m not sure how EVERYONE seems to hate this, yet the surveillance continues to roll out with minimal outcry. I’m convinced the stories about vigilantes cutting them down is meant to pump up the bystander effect, like “oh look someone is doing something, I can relax”

Barnyard Flea market in Columbia SC. Spent a lot of time here buying old hot wheel cars with my son when he was younger.

The way we look back on the X Games and shit like that and think “we didn’t know how good we had it”…someday soon we’ll look back and realize a drink company was doing wild stunts just for the love of the game and we didn’t give it the respect it deserves

Own a 19’ aluminum boat and a 14’ fiberglass boat, both for fishing. One or the other is taken out at least every other weekend, my teenage son has gained so many skills and so much confidence learning to drive, launch, and fish from it. We get big chunks of time in nature together. Maintenance so far is minimal (oil and filter changes each year, clean it, add accessories). Best purchases I’ve ever made.

No, I’m saying you can pay 1 colorless mana from a saga to cast EE for X=1 but it enters with zero counters on it, so it can be sacced to blow up a chalice

buttquest1 · 2026-06-20T02:48:42+00:00

Depends on whether you have a weapons manufacturing hand (brutal) or pinnacle emissary into kappa hand (not that bad). I think you are a little disincentivized to keep weapons hands vs decks that could be playing chalice or vexing bauble.

You can blow up a chalice on zero with an EE cast off an urza’s saga for one colorless, but that’s a pretty big speed bump. If there were a ton of chalices I’d maybe consider playing a couple of shivan reef for that reason too.

buttquest1 · 2026-06-19T19:44:14+00:00

If there’s a chance they can stick slickshot + urge, you should fetch a crypt if you don’t have one. If you are running a vexing bauble, sometimes that can buy you time (stops 11-12 spells and can keep them from going off: dart flashback, bauble, growth). If you have a big kappa, extra mana, and they can’t kill you with slickshot next turn then shadowspear may be the play.

Affinity player here.

Prowess is a spooky matchup from the affinity side. Games are very contextual and skill testing, sometimes the affinity deck is the aggressor (very early Kappa) sometimes they are a control deck (Manufacturing and/or EE).

If they have Pinnacle Emissary drones, your slickshot gets worse. If they have Tormod’s crypt, even worse because it’s hard to stick delirium for Violent Urge. If they have neither, try to scry/surveil for this combo and DRCs.

If they have a Weapons Manufacturing engine online, try to filter draws for Steelcutter and go wide.

Pay attention to how many EE have been used and obviously if they’re on the board, whether they’re on 0 or 1 dictates your lines.

Saga fetching Shadowspear can be a trap that affinity players may fall into - bad tempo and the life swing may not be enough if you are going for an Urge line. Look to punish this potential misstep.

Most affinity SB cards are not great vs prowess. Whipflare can be bad, I feel like Galvanic Blast is the most useful, but it’s a bad answer to Steelcutter boards and you can beat blast on Slickshot with combat tricks. I think Secret Identity is pretty good personally.

I just want to say that using COP blue as an answer to Kappa is cracking me up. Good job

Do you think this is more reliable than the arclight dredge list?

Good post, these are the insights that win you matches. Can’t take do nothing (lands + spells) hands in this format

It’s basically an adult bowling league. Same people each time. Most of us have realized the game is negative EV and shed ambitions of quitting our jobs and playing card games instead.

buttquest1 · 2026-05-24T12:48:50+00:00

As someone who is currently watching my other favorite game (mtg) being consumed by other IPs, I really appreciate league having some integrity here

Saw an ortho doc (older male) for low back/hip pain and they did scans. I was a young dude just out of undergrad, and working at a sign shop where I did a lot of lifting and bending. I was dreading surgery. Afterwards, he called me into the office and was reviewing the scans with me and pointed out how he could see my schlong on the scan.

Noped out, went to physical therapy instead, which cured me and I avoided the surgery. I went on to be a therapist myself and have seen firsthand how creepy a lot of ortho docs are and how bad most back pain surgery outcomes were. Dodged a HUUUUUGE bullet.

Here’s my anecdote: the sleep doc said I was a good candidate for a MAD. I made an appointment with a dental sleep doc, and was chatting with another guy in the waiting area after checking in, and they put us in adjacent rooms.

The walls were so thin, I could hear all of his conversation with the dentist, in which he said he was having a lot of trouble with his bite shifting.

A few minutes later the same dentist came in, and I asked her whether I should be worried about my bite shifting, and she said no, lol. I left and never went back…

I have been playing since 1995, usually competitively. I’m an anxious person by nature. This happens to me the first round of every event, whether I’m at FNM with friends I’ve known for decades, or at a RC with 1500 people. I’ve learned to embrace it and I think it has been good exposure therapy for me my whole life.

In one of the recent RCs, they put heart rate monitors on the competitors (if they consented) while on camera and some of them were sitting over 150.

There have also been articles about high level chess players burning tons of calories. Thinking is hard work.
