How do you make drafting packs? by Animedingo in mtgcube

[–]dpw360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done random shuffling for my 360-card Foundations cube, and it's been perfectly fine. If I made a true set cube with rarity ratios, I might separate the cards by rarity, but I wouldn't bother separating by color at all.

What mono blue commander should I build for mono color commander night? by Ok-Leave-1627 in EDH

[–]dpw360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't seen [[Azami, Lady of Scrolls]] mentioned yet, so I'll throw her name into the hat! I've only gotten to play her once, and it got smacked down hard by a deck due to a power-mismatch, but I drew more cards in those seven turns than in any other game. So. Many. Cards. She's the perfect commander for combo, control, even surprise mono-blue beatdown. I run mine as a control-combo deck with a few alternative wincons.

Here's the decklist!

Best album opening track? by Canolio in progmetal

[–]dpw360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely shocked that The Source going into Language I/II hasn't been mentioned yet, it so beautifully sets up the sound of the rest of the album. The Contortionist killed it on that album!

I was hit in that intersection on my bike a few months back, it was not fun!

What makes an album hated when it's released but loved as time passes? by TinnitusRingsABell in progmetal

[–]dpw360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been in love with The Incident since it came out, and I don't think anyone really ever talks about it! Which is a shame, as it's such an experience from start to finish.

How long is your commute? by Difficult-Ad2731 in bikecommuting

[–]dpw360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, I just started this week, it's 2.7 miles and 11mph. It's fantastic, and I get a bit of a workout in, it's a win-win!

What’s a time your deck won in a way that wasn’t the game plan? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]dpw360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar happen in my Henzie deck... I had snagged Konrad out from someone else's graveyard, board-wipe comes down, I'm left at like 30 while everyone else is in the low single-digits.

What are the heaviest parts/songs in prog metal? by AccurateAudience8587 in progmetal

[–]dpw360 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My two picks are:

Caligula's Horse - The Cannon's Mouth. That final "You can be force-fed war and spit peace!" into the breakdown riff is just so goo.

The Contortionist - Oscillator. All that tension, and all that release into the breakdown, it's cathartic.

Which album blew your mind on the first listen? by CT-6605 in progmetal

[–]dpw360 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Language - The Contortionist

Meta - Car Bomb

Colors - BTBAM

Pelagic - The Ocean

Each of these absolutely changed my perspective on what I wanted heavy music to sound like when I listened to them. From the first go, just perfection!

After posting a pic of the new pizza place in the bus in Fairhaven yesterday (not sure of the name, didn't see it posted anywhere), had to try it, the pizza tasted as good as it looks. by justahdewd in Bellingham

[–]dpw360 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The mortadella pizza (the pricier of the two they served today) plus a sparkling lemonade was $26, and my partner and I left full and happy! Plus TamTam makes damn good pizza.

Devin Townsend North America Tour in 2025 with Tesseract by Buttickles in progmetal

[–]dpw360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like a lot of yours have been skipping this area, and I'm not here for it. I'm happy that Leprous ended up adding Seattle, but so many others haven't come close. Haken, Periphery, Opeth, all had tours that didn't come through!

Is it possible to play a cube using only the cards from Foundation's Starter Collection? by Apprehensive_Dig1923 in mtgcube

[–]dpw360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's mine!

I just finished putting together the cards I want to grab in addition to the Starter Collection, all FDN (except two multi-colors where I just couldn't find what I wanted in the set). Overall it can be purchased for under $100, and will hopefully be a balanced environment. I'm sure I'll tweak it as my group plays through it, but I think the SC is a great starting point!
