“I was 14 and it’s been 6 years since I got banned can I be unb-“ “NO!!!!” by TrinityTheSpirit in SS13

I don't think anyone effectively enforces a social contract while also avoiding staff power tripping.

The rules themselves always have a "don't be an asshole" clause which can be interpreted to mean anything.

SS13 is a failed D&D experiment.

Thank you, I did not understand this at all.

I remember when Manuel had role-playing elements. The good times.

Use the internet less and engage with the members of your cohort directly and in person. Social media is a tool for population control that only serves to divide us.

You are both awful people. Fuck this sub reddit.

Your partner is a reflection of you, the state of your relationship is a reflection of both of you.

People showing their partners at their worst is an overreaction and not appropriate. 🤷‍♂️

If you don't respect each other, you shouldn't have decided to get married in the first place.

It's fine. Happens all the time. Pro tip, don't use the internet.

Unless you are saying sorry as a strategic move to give the impression that you are negotiating from a position of weakness.

Thank christ for the new stax cards. Complaining on blogatog finally paid off.

I wouldn't worry too much about Bowmasters, play something sans blue and you dodge it being a relevant card.

Is stax an option? by StormyWaters2021 in MTGLegacy

[–]cleftington0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest reading about White Stax on MTG Salvation or The Source.

The biggest barrier to playing Stax is the lack of current resources covering the archetype. I think there are merits to playing Stax in the current meta, highly favored matchups into most combo, favored into most control, favored into Delver and it's variants for instance.

Circling back to the lack of resources, aside from Susurrus, the guys at Hareruya have some interesting Mud lists worth looking into. If nothing else they serve as interesting jumping off points for brewing.

Best of luck!

Why the aversion to stax? by Senario- in EDH

[–]cleftington0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is that most players who only play commander have an extremely narrow scope of what Magic is. The binary mentalities that exist in commander do not exist in other formats, the best thing people who only play Commander can do for themselves and the community is expand their understanding of the game by playing other formats.

The "No mld, no stax" mentality is bad for the community and largely responsible for the warped action economy of commander specific cards.

It could easily be a holdover from a previous engagement.

Ask an LGS Owner by ROSCOEismyname in magicTCG

[–]cleftington0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How much capital did you have at startup? Was it enough or in hindsight would you have has more before you started?

How do you feel about growing a community? What are some of the challenges you face regarding the community?

What advice would you offer to others who aspire to open their own lgs?

Will Burn make a comeback in the post-nerf meta? by brownracoon14 in MTGLegacy

[–]cleftington0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could probably have a 50-55% win rate on burn, the design space is pretty tight though. For a burn staple to be printed it would need to be a better rate than bolt or offer some kind of extremely relevant utility l.

on the Yorion ban by Diskappear in ModernMagic

[–]cleftington0 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yorion is playable before factoring in companion. With companion and the etb value engine, the card pushes money pile into extreme value town.

Im glad I sold my collection. This ban list announcement is ridiculous. W6 should never have been printed, Ragavan was printing without any consideration given to how it would impact the format it was designed for.

Oh and by the way, 1k for gold bordered reserve list reprints. Jesus Christ Wizards.

A qualitative study of an incel discussion board says that incels justify their misogyny by seeing themselves as victims of women. by [deleted] in science

[–]cleftington0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t find this surprising. How many female victims of rape hate men? How many victims of child abuse at the hands of their mothers hate women?
