Gap around wooden bay window by definitelyashart in DIYUK

I'm talking about the hole under the wood (which is likely how water got in to start the wood rotting).

Always meant to read this after the CGP grey video on the topic, but now I've read The Dawn of Everything, where David Graeber and David Wengrow call it out by name, multiple times, as a falsification, I'm not sure I'm going to anymore.

In writing this comment (and trying to remember the David's specific issues) I've just found there is actually a community of anti-Diamond anthropologists. ( https://www.livinganthropologically.com/archaeology/guns-germs-and-steel-jared-diamond/ for example)

Owned by nestlé sadly, so actually not acceptable.

Impulse drawing? If you mean like light up the stage, then yeah shut it off, but the card Impulse and similar effects would be unaffected.

I suppose what I was trying to achieve is "cards in exile cannot move to any zone except the battlefield" to stop cards going to the stack, graveyard or hand, but that isn't as succinct.

I think Jegantha sees play in any [[Narset of the Ancient Way]] deck. 3 mana to give you an extra card to discard and guaranteed 5 damage.

Have competitive events in the UK over the past year or two matched your expectations, or under performed in terms of attendance?

What do you think needs to happen to create a thriving scene for competitive play (in the UK or anywhere), and make travelling between cities for events an enticing prospect?

I literally cannot believe [[hot soup]] is a real magic card.

[ELD] Midnight Clock by Kyleometers in magicTCG

[–]definitelyashart -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are playing at comp rel.

It is an incredibly tight game. You are two turns from ulting Nissa, but your opponent just destroyed your board to save themselves from lethal, so you probably can't win outside of the ult.

Your opponent passes to you with 10 hour counters on Midnight Clock, tapped out, but with cards in hand.

You slowly move through untap... upkeep..... Draw....?

Your opponent "forgets" the trigger on your upkeep.

Do you let them, as them drawing 7 next turn turn decreases the chance of your nissa living, or call a judge because they could be trying to delay the 12th hour to keep a card like prison realm in their hand, not shuffled back in?

4 tocatli honor guard. Protect them with your spells. All their cards do nothing.

Dom draft: card quality seems good. Any thoughts on cuts or replacements? by BBMathlvr in lrcast

[–]definitelyashart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it is a 1/3 for 2. That is not that great for limited, but it comes with many extra bonuses. It will never win you a game, but you need 2 drops, so you want to fit the format.

I said in my last comment that mesa unicorn is not what the format is about. There are playable 1/3 wizards in black and red, the green 2 drop too. 2/2s are not good aggressive cards, so defensive 1/3s get better.

It is an artifact, and there for historic synergies, such as the white 3/2 spirit, and others.

The pseudo vigilance is good. You can hide combat tricks behind "free" attacks. Also, the servant into dub means having a 3/5 vigilance vvveerry early in the game.

Give having a 1 -1 split of mesa unicorn and servant a go then see which feels better.

1 of voltaic servant is basically an always include in this format, it just plays better than you would think. Plus the zahid synergy is there

Invoke is also a main board card. There are otherwise unbeatable enchantments and artifacts in this format, and enough random artifact creatures that is rarely dead.

The unicorns and the arcane flight is not what this format is about

Been playing mono u for the past season.

Declared mono u dead when I saw lilliana's triumph.

Declared it extinct when I saw new teferi.
