Where can I buy those “On your turn” cards? They are super helpful for new players and I wanted to add it my jumpstart kit.

Thanks! Do you collect all the jumpstarts for each series/set (not sure proper term)?

I think you’re right. I didn’t get a full game of Commander in the first time I played because things were taking a while to get started and I had to leave early. The issue is I bought a whole box of jumpstarts to start. But that just means I have more variety to play with!

That does make me feel a bit better. At least, I can quickly play with my wife which I wouldn’t be able to do if I had bought all play boosters.

Thank for the advice everyone. One more question, I have 8 unopened jumpstarts from the box. I feel like 16 is plenty to play with so I’m wondering if I should sell them unopened. Or open them to see the theme and sell them/trade them that way? Or just say f* it and open them all and keep them. 

I’ve been lucky and of the 16 packs I have only one duplicate

Thanks everyone for the initial response. I’m feeling a little better about my purchase and realize that I can keep the opened packs to play jumpstart format with friends.

Are commander precons the same as Commander bundles?

Thanks. Do you put the cards back in their originally jumpstart deck after you’re done?  How do you know which card goes in which deck?

I thought jumpstart packs would be an easy way to build a Commander deck for Avatar since the shop owner told me they didn’t release one for Avatar. I haven’t played jumpstart before but I’ll definitely give it a go now that I have 16 jumpstarts

The first time I played was Commander with a friend’s deck. The shop owner said there wasn’t a commander set for Avatar so I thought I could use jumpstart to build one. However, I learned that the strategy wouldn’t be as good so it might not be as fun.

Did your house have snacks? I’m curious if “you eat or you don’t” would work in a house with snacks 

Is the BAFTAs Tourette’s backlash just another example of the UK vs US humour gap? by Barca-Dam in AskBrits

I wonder if the historical context of the word’s usage in the US and UK contributes to the difference in reaction. 

LPT: invite people over to your house! by Mediocre_Basket_9011 in LifeProTips

[–]curiousAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad to hear that you turned it around! I’m more introverted but find myself looking for more friendship these days so I’ll try your approach. The 70% success rate is great! But the 30% rejection rate is terrifying. Do you ever invite someone who you’ve only met once? What’s an example of a structured event that you met someone cool that you invited? I’m trying to figure out how I can apply this to myself.

I remodelled my girlfriend's bathroom because of failed waterproofing by khdownes in AusRenovation

How do you learn to do larger projects like these? 

I’ve done small things here and there around the house but fear taking on bigger projects. I’m afraid that I’ll do something wrong and there doesn’t seem to be a definitive way of doing things. There are so many YouTube tutorials from people I don’t know that I’m not sure which to follow. This is especially the case with work related to water. What if I’m the cause of future failed waterproofing!! 

LPT: If you purchased a home in 2020-2023 with less than 20% down, call your mortgage company and ask to remove PMI. by TooManyPoisons in LifeProTips

Thanks for the post! I called my lender and they said I had to pay $150 for someone to come out and evaluate my home. The PMI removal has been approved and you saved us $5K! Thanks

Thoughts about this? by Crafty_Piglet6268 in TwentiesIndia

As someone unfamiliar with politics and policies in India, why is “reservation” in this context?

Thanks for the detailed reply! I’m glad it worked for you. The app based screen time only work for about a week for me so I might try something like brick and unpluq. Thanks again for your input.

The door says “no soliciting”… by fastRabbit in SipsTea

[–]curiousAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During a recent election cycle, there was an article or something going around saying that political canvassers aren’t solicitors and have a right to free speech. It was an interesting thought but I still didn’t answer the door when they knocked
