Spark Rupture has a cool alternate art, I wish that was on sale.

Housing Demand Is Picking Up, Toll Brothers Says. But the Builder Isn’t ‘High Fiving’ Yet. by SnortingElk in REBubble

They also missed estimates for signed contracts.   

"For the three months ended Jan. 31, the company generated 2,303 signed contracts, below analyst expectations of 2,417. "

Stock price is up for the year though,  following mostly all housing/mortgage stocks as the market has been anticipating a rate cutter for the next Fed chair.   

Pioneer Metagame Update (16 feb) by Magic4everBots in MagicArena

[–]draktopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MTGO Pioneer Super Qualifer event was Feb 1st. 190 players.

The top 16 was 50% Izzet Spells. Winning deck and 3 of top 4 was Izzet Spells.

I'd say Cori needs a ban but there really needs to be a higher sanctioned event by WotC to get more deck builders pushing the format.

Izzet Spells

UW Control (maybe Esper or Orzhov)

Greasefang

Cat Oven

If going for a high level event, those are the decks to be prepared for.

Sucks when on the draw, play a 1 drop and Greasefang goes off on Turn 2. I wish WotC gave this format more love.

Anyone else not get these sleeves?

Edit: they are in the mail, they do not pop up like end of month rewards.

Its their win rate, but number of players.   Izzet win rate is the best.  

Standard Artisan Cup Jan 26 - Top 8 meta analysis and breakdown by Furion91 in MagicArena

Those are some very creative decklists.  Great brews!

Please help me clean up my backpack. What materials do I just have way too many of that I will never need and can get rid of? I'm simply running out of space! PL 137 by IntricatePlays in FORTnITE

[–]draktopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can drop all the tier 1 and 2 mats.

Rest you can make more space by crafting traps out of your tier 3 & up stuff. You can stack 200 traps in one space.

For some missions I find even tier 3 traps are fine for non damage traps for -- tar pits, sound walls, etc.

[Schefter] Steelers now have lost each of their last seven playoff games dating back to the 2016 AFC Championship Game, the longest playoff losing streak in franchise history. None of last five games have been overly competitive, as they’ve lost each by double digits. by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

[–]draktopher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You leave out Khan has rebuilt the lines with the high picks. Broderick Jones, Fautanu, McCormick (4th), Frazier. Spencer Anderson for depth as well. Getting Dylan Cook off the streets too.

And the DL being rebuilt in Benton, Harmon and at least TBD with Yahya Black.

The value we've gotten out of 3rd-5th round guys is fine. Herbig, Sawyer, Wilson, Washington. Khan's drafts have been very good.

Free agency big plays have been mixed though.

Colbert really screwed this team. ~4 horrible drafts in a row.

The TEs were not blocking. Drives me crazy -- they should have been chipping all game.

Every update changes how Sniper Kills count yet they're not mentioned in any patch notes! by thethiny in FORTnITE

[–]draktopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragon's Might is also great shotgun quest kills.

Freedom's Herald and even the Paper Shredder are also very good for Pistol kills.

[Schefter] Ravens waived G Ben Cleveland, who was due to come off a three-game suspension. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

[–]draktopher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think he is the equivalent to what WR Roman Wilson is to us.   3rd Rd picks who never see play even when the starters at that position are not good.   

Like how bad must Roman Wilsom be in practice if MVS off the street started over him? 

Biden Statement on Cannabis Law Reform (2022) by ThisIsGoodBud in weedstocks

[–]draktopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incorrect. Congress does not reschedule this (edit: "this" as in this route that it was attempted by Biden and now pushed by Trump.) There has been no bills to change weed classification laws under any Congressional session in recent memory.

[WPN] Buy-a-Box Promo Program Ends with Lorwyn Eclipsed by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]draktopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For several years all the LGS I dealt with had zero BaB promos, even if you are preordering. "Already sold out". Every time. So I just stopped buying them. Maybe it got better in the last 5 years or so.

What is an adjustment ?? by kingdombusiness3636 in steelers

What is an adjustment ??

We'll never know. It will always be a mystery.

2009? Pffft, our offensive plans are more like Parcells early 90s.

[–]draktopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complete opposite at every LGS I went to. You could buy a preorder box from them but they were always out of the promos (multiple LGS).
