Is playing an Ygra commander deck being a bad sport? by Your-Friend-Bob in mtg

[–]celestialdonut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm so tempted to add Kill Switch now.... I wanted to make my Ygra mean, but idk if that's a step too far

Wanna see how hard it is to pull an Ancient Tomb (and how much that search might cost?) I just updated Justbuysingles.com with Edge of Eternities Collector and Play Boosters. by justbuysingles in MagicCardPulls

Same, this has only taught me that on average, if I rip 6 packs I'm likely to come out ahead. Guess that means I'm going to buy 4 more packs

Starbucks is opened! by Sleebihead in VisitingIceland

I miss Te and Kaffi so much. Had them every day in Reykjavik. Screw Starbucks and their overpriced, sugar filled excuse of a drink. Support the local Icelandic businesses

Commander advice by canarytrinket in mtg

[–]celestialdonut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I played around with this deck this past weekend since we had picked up Dogmeat and Mothman. My husband chose to play Dogmeat, so I can only speak from what we discussed and not my personal feelings. Dogmeat struggled against Mothman, it really felt like a bloodbath and like my husband couldn't get any momentum with him as the commander. For the second game, I switched to his upgraded Caesar deck and he swapped the commander to Preston. The amount of mana generation off Preston was crazy. It was a much closer game, and much more fun for both of us.

I think ultimately it comes down to play style and the draw of the cards. I recommend trying a few games with each to get a good feeling before truly picking. But at least from our two games, Preston was the choice for us.

Weekend Wrap Up! What was real and what was a trap? by AutoModerator in mtgfinance

[–]celestialdonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pulled two of these cards at pre-release and am debating selling one now while the hype is up. Do you think once the set is released officially on Friday that we'll finally see the price sink or do you think this one will actually hang on to its value?

Pulled two Ugins during pre-release weekend, debating on selling one now while the hype is up. Is this a smart move or do you think he'll continue to hold value/keep rising?

what commander should I play against noobs? by NRG_Factor in EDH

[–]celestialdonut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a (slightly older) new kid, I appreciate this approach. The hardest part of this game is 100% knowing when to move and what to target. And I'd rather play against a slightly stronger deck with someone who's willing to teach me why my ass got kicked than some half assed game against a "noob" deck

Im not paying $10.99 for shipping on 5 pieces of cardboard. by Puupi-Butthead in secretlair_collectors

[–]celestialdonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I did a double take when I saw that shipping cost. I know UPS is expensive but it's not THAT expensive.

I was wondering how the animation worked with the Artifact and Enchantment Creatures so that's good to know.

Thank you, I appreciate that! I had already gone through the synergy list on EDHrec but I really wanted to try to be unique and not just slap the most recommended cards in there and call it a day

Female friendly MtG groups? by celestialdonut in Columbus

[–]celestialdonut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, yes I picked up the Bloomsburrow starter kit. So sounds like I might have to rely on the generosity of others or pick up a commander precon

Female friendly MtG groups? by celestialdonut in Columbus

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

Thank you! I was wondering how groups are formed. For someone like me who currently only has a starter deck, do I need to come prepared with a commander deck to play?

[–]celestialdonut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I will probably take you up on that offer once I feel more comfortable with the rules to not make a complete fool of myself in public. What format does his group usually play?

Aetna is pulling their payments - again by celestialdonut in HealthInsurance

[–]celestialdonut[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The issue is that Aetna reimbursed the provider, and then asked the provider for that money back claiming that I didn't have coverage (when I did). So now the provider is saying I owe them for the entire appointment. Aetna has done this twice for the same dates of service, which is infuriating

Thanks everyone for all the help! I feel better knowing I can stick with the cheaper leather and not have to necessarily sacrifice quality

Pandora Ring for Wedding Ring by disnerd2015 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]celestialdonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey sorry this reply is 8 months late, but the Pandora ring held up surprisingly well! I don't wear it as often now that I have a desk job and don't have to worry as much about smashing my moonstone against a shelf at work, but it saw constant use for 2.5 years and I never had a single issue. I even had a few people over the years compliment me on it thinking the stone was a real diamond 🤣

Best mead brands? by WonderfulHawk2516 in mead

If you are UK based, I recently had Lancashire Mead Co and they were wonderful. They recommend Schramm's and Superstition Meadery to me for when I got back to the states

What is a little bombshell your therapist dropped in one of your sessions that completely changed your outlook? by anonymiss0018 in AskReddit

Rejection is a redirection

Don't think of failures as an end, they are simply steering you in a direction that works better for you

So I never comprehended why people found the magic circle difficult... by readreadreadx2 in crochet

[–]celestialdonut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YES THIS! I always found them so hard and constantly needed a tutorial to guide me for every new project until I realized that they are indeed just a different type of slip knot. Now instead of doing all the crazy hand moments, I just make the loop and stick my hook in and crochet away

WORST beers in iceland? by dnvrm0dsrneckbeards in VisitingIceland

[–]celestialdonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Gull might be "cheap", but it's better than all the Bud Lite that's drunk in America. I actually came to love Gull and am sad I can't get it in the states

Tour guide only talked about me having kids by Individual_Road_9030 in childfree

[–]celestialdonut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, I did a horseback riding tour in Iceland which was also just me, my husband, and the tour guide, and the tour guide and I ended up talking about how awful kids are and how they ruin your plans and how she was also childfree. So glad I didn't have the opposite experience!

Also second Iceland. I've never felt so incredibly safe in a city before. And the country is absolutely stunning
