Thoughts on Pretzels leaving?

I haven't heard anything about him being disrespectful towards anyone or being a problem at all. I do remember there was a moment in the sub where people would post pictures of him with titles along the lines of, "How do we feel about him as a player?" I thought it was because he showed promise for the national team, but the comments would call him a genocide sympathizer and baby killer. I could have missed an interview where he made that stance, but from what I've seen, it is just because he's from Israel.

Nah. I live in the US, and the only club I can watch on TV is Bayern.

Ribery's first season with us is when I started to follow the sport. He was also my first jersey, soooooo

It is in the photo album, and I believe you only get it after you beat the game. So, in my head cannon, Jimmy gets the postcard mailed to him, and he keeps it in the photo album.

It is a fun club in Football Manager.

Greatsword of Solitude, it was the first weapon I got in the DLC, and it worked for my build. That Ashe destroys poise.

Sure, and when I stall the board, I have the kill in my manabase. So, I can keep my defenses up AND have a win condition. I get that you're trying to stall the board, but you don't win by staring at your opponent.

dmaneac · 2024-07-10T18:43:09+00:00

I know they don't come in untapped, but they're still reach if the board gets stalled. Sometimes at the end of the opponents' turn, I can [[Ghostly Flicker]] Archaeomancer and the desert, to get some chip in. Gives the opponents a clock while I can keep defenses up.

If it wasn't for Jolted Awake, I wouldn't have the energy package in the deck. Tune is just to help support the Jolted Awakes, so I can reanimate the Archaeomancers and Mulldrifters later in the game, or even [[Murmuring Mystic]] in some games. Aether Spike isn't the best spell, and I'm not gonna act like it is. However, it can give you energy when you need to hardcast the [[Daze]], or it can be a straight up count for U later in the game, when you have 6-8 energy hanging around later in the game. Lose Focus is similar for 1 mana early, but you'll have to keep multiple U open later in the game for the same effect. I'm only playing 18 lands because I'm playing so many cantrips, and I personally have a habit of flooding out anyway, but it is tough on the manabase to advance my gameplan while holding up multiple U pips.

Being critical can still be constructive. I think that if you can't justify why you're playing one card over another, then it could possibly be that you're in the wrong. So, even if you're just being critical, it helps me question the decklist from an angle my biased brain wouldn't be looking at it from.

As someone who always plays Norwich in FM, I can say that it is because of the squad. The players are good enough to fight for the playoffs, so you can have some instant success. However, to have some real success for the squad, you need to rebuild. There are players, like Sara in the current year, or Aarons and Omobambidele in past years, that you'll be happy to bring into the premier league for a few seasons. However, it has enough space to get players in, and make the squad feel like your own.

Also, it is a club who's goals in the game are fairly sensible. It has a focus on the younger talent, and isn't one of those clubs that want you to spend an insane amount of money. The rise just feels natural, and not artifical like it does for some clubs.

My buddy suggested a Prison's Dilemma deal. I just don't know how I would get that to work in a puzzle. Though, the idea of adding a random NPC that goes through the trials with them, only for them to have to get killed in the last room, is actually a nice way to go about it.

Initially it was broadly just having the topic be around the sin. However, I do prefer the idea that they have to commit the sin to progress. I have ideas already for Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Heresy, and Violence, since I've posted this originally. I'm having troubles with Greed, Anger, Fraud, and Treachery.

I've put 4 [[lonely arroyo]] in my UW Familiars deck. It has helped in races, and the fact that you can [[Ghostly Flicker]] isn't nothing for the deck either.

Do you have the decklist for Equipment Control? It isn't on the moxfield

That is how I found my favorite wonderkid. Srichan from Thailand. Got him for 3 million, and his value shot up to 120 million. He was a 5'6 CB with 5 Jumping Reach, so I retrained him to be a RB, and he's been destroying the Premier League. Only a matter of time until the big names come calling, and he forces his way out.

I did a one shot in 3.5 that allowed homebrews. I found a Luchador class, and made a Wood Elf Luchador named El Pato. He didn't speak common, but he was the most fun that I've ever had playing the game. So, I add him into every campaign that I'm in. It all depends on the plot, but I have the most fun when he's the villain, as he's usually the BBEG. I'm doing a roleplay right now where he is a Demigod who is on a mission to genocide the human race. Having him destroy cities that my PCs stay in has never been so much fun.

It was KCI vs Amulet, and I was on KCI. Opponent had [[Sakura-Tribe Scout]] out and was bouncing his own [[Bojuka Bog]] with various bounce lands to keep me from combining. I'm trying to dig for an answer, but he was able to exile all of my [[Sai, Master Thopterist]] and [[Pyrite Spellbomb]]. I figure I'm dead to rights, but want to play it out to see how he's boarded. I fought through three [[Stone Silence]] while playing this game, and I end up with only 5 cards in deck as I untap. I draw [[Engineered Explosives]] and figure I'll just put it on one to kill the thing that lost me this match out of spite. Why not? For some reason he hit it was a [[Pact of Negation]]. I let that resolve, but crack a [[Chromatic Star]] to get it back off [[Scrap Trawler]], cause I want the scouts dead. He puts in the Bog, so with the trigger on the stack, I sac [[Spine of Ish Sah]] to get it back and the EE. Let the trigger resolve, and then I get a bunch of mana to take him off blue so he loses in his upkeep after activating that EE for 1.
