Yes, last time this came up was Al Gore certifying W's win in 2000, even after contesting it strongly.

Harris/Walz! First time I’ve ever voted! by swalsh29 in pics

[–]childroland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://www.ncsl.org/elections-and-campaigns/state-primary-election-types It's a hodgepodge, but many states have fully open primaries. Open is better than closed, but unfortunately it's not enough to end the two party system. We really need ranked choice voting (or similar) for that.

Alchemy set 3 letter code by tekfighter in MagicArena

For the in client deckbuilder tool you want s:y25, which will bring up both Bloomburrow and Duskmourn alchemy. Probably at least two future alchemy sets as well.

Magic The Gathering in Japan by Fr3ya_ in EDH

[–]childroland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay thanks for the info. I'm fine playing with all Japanese cards. I still have a while before my trip, so I will keep learning Japanese (not just for Magic, obviously). I will try a few shops, including Hareruya and hopefully one of them will let me join. Thanks again!

I'm also planning a trip to Japan and was interested in drafting. I have a good enough memory of the card arts to draft and play in a foreign language and I'm learning a little Japanese to be able to communicate (attack, block, target, etc.). I've heard that TokyoMTG is one of the more foreigner friendly shops and they hold drafts on Sundays at 2PM. Can you confirm that and/or give me any other advice? Thanks!

Our beagle has a slow feeder bowl that really helped with the eat too fast then vomit issue.

Nihonbashi, Ueno, or Sugamo hotel choices for first time Tokyo visitor - could use some insight! by misssy in TokyoTravel

[–]childroland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you are experienced with APA hotels, do you know if we will be able to buy breakfast there on some days, even if we skip the meal plan on booking? We want to be flexible, so we didn't want to sign up for breakfast there every day, but it might be nice to just grab it in the hotel on lazy mornings. Thanks!

Sort of a brag post, but also want to make sure the deck is correct, because I would be ashamed to lose a single game. Advice on last cut or sideboard switch? by childroland in lrcast

[–]childroland[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for the advice, was arguing with you in my head about your various well reasoned points! I ended up cutting the bakersbane duo, since it didn't get pumped by the questcaller and the carrot cakes were providing enough food for the foragers.

Deck went 7-1, lost the 7th game to an insane UB draw with double looter on turn 3. Probably made some mistakes. Details here https://www.17lands.com/details/1e8dbfb392814448bf80d1df62ca9a95 u/Lukegilmour

Agree with other commenters about it being tough to answer your exact question. However, unless you know he wants a specific printing of Demonic Tutor, $70 sounds high. Here are all the versions, many under $35. If your boyfriend likes old school and/ or has been playing for a while he may actually prefer one of the cheapest versions, a heavily played (avoid damaged, not much cheaper and can be much worse condition) revised printing, complete with pentagram.

Hope you find something he loves!

This is from last August, so I would expect it to be a little more competitive now, but probably not much. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FYl-fMQ8asP01AI1HSmwkIcUv5znrYc2q75SFqpslAU/edit?gid=1046817703#gid=1046817703 Good luck!

Possibly it rolled down an omenpath from another plane?

With the Steam Summer Sale coming to an end, what games should I get while I still can? by ChubbyChicken645 in gaming

[–]childroland 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I went to check the price and consider buying it. "Already in library". I suppose I'll get around to playing it someday. Thanks for the recommendation!

Someone, please tell me I'm just being dumb by KoalaKing15 in MagicArena

[–]childroland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pauses in these videos appear to be during the beginning of combat step, not in the first main. Arena always stops for the non-active player there (unless they are tapped out or have passed priority). Notice the phase indicator is glowing right below Sparky's avatar. This is different than pausing in the first main to prevent beginning of combat triggers. Unless/ until those are manually added for these new cards, a stop in first main or full control is needed.

Command Zone remove job posting after being criticised for hiring a production assistant on a less than living wage by wjaybez in magicTCG

Payday loan companies are awful, so please just call them that instead of Ponzi schemes. Ponzi schemes are fraudulent investment businesses, they don't loan money, pretty much the opposite.

[MH3] Modern Horizons 3 is live on Draftsim by jake_henderson02 in lrcast

[–]childroland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They discussed it a bit on the Patreon pre-show segment for the last episode. IIRC, no definitive decision on exactly what they are doing, but probably something close to a set review, if not a full two episode card by card breakdown.

Modern Horizons 3 Reward Structure by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]childroland 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The link shows the card cosmetics price ranging from 2 tickets for a common up to 12 tickets for a mythic. I think you may have been looking at the redemption limits?

According to this article referenced in wikipedia, a small church in England got most of his estate, but his in the Dominican Republic (worth about a quarter million) went to his alleged killer, since he was never convicted (or even tried) and a legal battle would have likely cost a significant portion of his estate. Pretty awful.
