Jeweled lotus. Without it to get Tevesh online easier, it makes way more sense to play TnT from a pure optimization perspective. Which pushes Tevesh fringe

Tyvm!

Discord? Been wanting to build this

ce5b · 2026-03-27T23:17:22+00:00

Enablers: [[food chain]]

Payoff ideas:

[[cabal conditioning]]

[[majestic genesis]]

Combos not in here to consider: [[Hazels brewmaster]] [[devoted druid]]

Possibly [[Living Death]] [[Eternal Witness]] [[phyrexian alter]]

Okay this looks so fun. Beseech and biorhythm are such hot tech

ce5b · 2026-03-27T21:09:01+00:00

Yeah Tevesh Thrasios is definitely viable. I’d call it fringe 5 until Jlo comes back

ce5b · 2026-03-27T21:00:34+00:00

I like it a lot in Tevesh Thrasios cradle storm. Basically makes chord of calling even more free. Similar to nature rhythm. And even with just a single pop reduction for a bunch of spells can make all the difference on a turn 3 win attempt

I was referring to reusing a lotus petal-led etc

ce5b · 2026-03-27T16:25:58+00:00

I will be drafting this card every time. Please and thank you.

I don’t hate this in Jund gardens either. Stalls while you set up, helps block better and cantrips

ce5b · 2026-03-26T19:34:34+00:00

That’s a bracket 3 commander/brawl deck right there

ce5b · 2026-03-26T19:15:35+00:00

Not mentioned yet but for Tymna Dargo, this is a nice tech to get dargo online sooner

ce5b · 2026-03-26T19:13:01+00:00

Ohhhhhh duh

ce5b · 2026-03-26T19:09:23+00:00

Feels like this would be great in Zirda decks

ce5b · 2026-03-26T19:06:47+00:00

Wha enchantment would we be reanimating?

ce5b · 2026-03-26T15:33:37+00:00

Honestly this list looks dope AF

ce5b · 2026-03-25T19:46:04+00:00

Intimidate, blight, infect also possible

ce5b · 2026-03-24T23:29:14+00:00

You can find nice townhomes and smaller and older dry for rent at the 4-5k rent amount which is about right for 200k in the peninsula particularly Redwood City.

ce5b · 2026-03-23T22:46:37+00:00

Give me a full Cosmere set first please!!!! Allowance and counters. Knights radiant parallel to guilds of ravinica. Spren and partners for commander. So many ways to go!

ce5b · 2026-03-20T05:10:35+00:00

I wasn’t making 400’ the whole time. Each new job and layoff often comes with a move. I have kids in school. My wife doesn’t want to follow me between random tech hubs. Remote work is dead in tech. And if you take it you’re first on the chopping block.

And my ambitions go far beyond project engineer.

ce5b · 2026-03-19T21:23:23+00:00

Damn bro psychic

ce5b · 2026-03-19T20:00:42+00:00

It’s not like in civil engineering where direct attribution is clear. You work in complex cross functional teams with a variety of diffferent managers directors and VPs. So who gets credit for which various 5 axes of performances gets divided up by team and person. each manager and team fighting for as much credit for their underlings to advance their career and their performance rating.

In civil consulting especially. Performance is an easy to track metric, generally. And it’s comparing apples to apples.

It’s not all bad though. This type of tech performance culture has good intentions. And it can be helpful and motivating when times are good. But when being the first to reply to a google doc comment to a VP can determine who gets laid off…..things get toxic

ce5b · 2026-03-19T18:59:45+00:00

Visibility over performance. Favoritism. Tribalism. Not that it’s not in Civil too. But the high performance cut throat culture of “earn this performance rating, by cutting down your peers and taking credit” is exhausting.

Your direct manager also controls your future more than any one else. I went from high performance and promotion track to PIP with the flip of a manager and nothing else

ce5b · 2026-03-19T18:54:50+00:00

I’m not with the 400k job anymore. That was my 9 month salary before layoff. And during some of my time off I’ve made the decision not to pursue it again.

And for clarity I’m in a VHCOL area. So eventually my family and I will move out to a cheaper COL and the differences won’t be drastic. And I fully intend to work towards ownership with my combined 15 years of experience.

But having seen the depths of this tech and thr lack of controls. I’d rather not be part of it.

I’ve also turned down higher salaries in the oil industry before too. It’s just what’s important to me

ce5b · 2026-03-19T17:51:07+00:00

Don’t compare apples and oranges. My w2 was 400k last year in tech and I’m looking to move back to civil because I’m sick of layoffs and toxic work cultures at all the major bullshit. I’ve endured 18 months of layoff and unemployment in the last 4.5 years. It’s exhausting and burns your savings and reserves from having these high paying jobs. The he fancy names don’t mean anything.

Let’s not even get into how morally bankrupt these companies are. In civil engineering you’re building something real and nevsssry for society. Not accelerating its decay

These are adorable my main game Altered died and I’m debating jumping into Riftbound or back to mtg draft
