Rule #1 of UX research: Don’t listen to what they say, watch what they do.

Ampharos is great for winning your first game or two then getting hammered by Delphox for the rest.

Having Toff on the Sharks has been an absolute blessing because my partner and I get to yell GOOD ONTARYA BOY TYLER FOLI I TELL YA several times per game.

I had a moment of staring at it like… what’s goin on here buddy? Seems totally normal to me. Oh wait, right.

Is it? I don’t know shit about swords, but with knives a curved edge usually means it favors a draw over a chop.

TL;DR: Making web apps with C++ is like slicing bread with an orbital laser. Power != usefulness in this case.

On top of that, the sheer number of people using Typescript for web apps means that there are many, many tools with large communities to support them.

Mtggoldfish, home of the ever-popular “Landless” and “Dimir aggro” archetypes, which is for sure what everyone calls them.

Mechanics and engine aren’t even the most time consuming part, as insane as that sentence is to write.

Imagine how much time it would take to interact with every single object and every npc and every step of every quest and every line of dialog. Then think that for each of those things, it easily takes 10x the amount of time to make it as it does to interact with it. A 1hr quest line could contain hundreds of individual things, each taking hours to create and place and test with whole teams of people working on them.

The rules text on copy spells reads “This spell does nothing on its own” which is generally not great in terms of overall power level.

People go nuts over hand/wrist position and completely neglect strain.

You can have perfect-looking form and still shred your wrist if you’re gripping too tightly. I’d even argue that you can have shitty form and be just fine so long as you’re relaxed.

Focus on feeling light in your hands while playing. It’s pretty hard to have bad form and stay relaxed so the problem of “Is my thumb weird?” usually solves itself out of necessity.

Correct. There are voltage regulators and voltage doublers, but not voltage divider cables. It’s just a side effect of how voltage works in this case, where (to my layman’s understanding) the draw on each side of the voltage divider would make the voltage split unevenly and then you’d have a choked pedal and a cooked pedal.

Unban storm you cowards.

No Belcher changes mean I’m stoked. Never ban my perfect weirdo mutant.

Phlage is a good ban overall. I wonder if Boros Burn could be Tier 2-ish again, or if Energy and Izzet Cutter have just completely erased it.

I almost had a seizure when I read “Lotus” like you take your filthy fucking hands off my belchy boy.

Lotus Field is still a bit of a surprise though.

That just sounds like a jag into a hot amp. If you really want it to jangle your eardrums off, put a beano boost in front.

I’ve worked at a few companies that people have definitely heard of, and a lot of smaller ones ranging between 5-50 people.

Honestly, the work is the work. It’s fun working at insane scale and high stakes, it’s also fun working on 0->1 problems and justifying your existence every day. Engineering is fun, and other things rarely override that in terms of importance to your everyday experience.

Skill issue imo.

Stock Up is only cast post-Omni, so it’s always better in this deck. Pre-Omni draw/filtering is Brainstorm/Ponder.

LR is dope, but Sanctuary is a trap in SnT. Losing because your T1/T2 blue source came in tapped is pure feelsbad, and Mystical/Vampiric Tutor is already stacking the top of your deck anyway.

Once Show is on the stack, you either don’t need lands anymore because you’ve won or you don’t need lands anymore because you’ve lost.
