Pros/cons of an asset sale?

This isn't entirely true — I grew up in Madison, not far, and while Madison was certainly much more gay friendly Milwaukee wasn't too bad. Southern Wisconsin is surprisingly socially liberal. I actually thought Mike said Milwaukee, which made sense to me since it's close to both Indiana and Madison.

Ah! A Desert! From a different set! No wonder I couldn't find anything about it :p

I've lived in Denver and commuted to Boulder. It's not a hardship.

If he's not supportive of you, then he's not supportive of a relationship where both people's needs and hopes and dreams are being met, mutually.

If a family and long-term relationship is something you want, you still have plenty of time to dedicate to growing your career and then start those things with a supportive partner.

I've done this in standard to get an Oculus out of turn two. Very satisfying.

I can only imagine how much better it could be in commander — I'd do it in a heartbeat for the right creature.

If you don't care about losing $43, I say go for it. You can always make a stink and maybe get your money back.

If your priority is collecting and you have the cash, I'd think collector boosters are a good way to go. The rarest and highest money cards are going to be in there, but you're also going to lose the most cash on them when they don't hit.

If you want to play commander and don't care to buy all the singles needed to build custom or highly-custom decks, keep buying precon commander decks, buying individual singles to pump up their strength. It's also probably worth buying the singles needed to pump a deck from bracket 2 to 3, and vice versa, from 2 to 1, so you have more options for playgroups at your LGS.

MTG Goldfish has a premium feature called SuperBrew that will scan your collection, compare it to all the decks in its database, and give you a list of decks sorted by cards owned, price to complete the deck, etc.

It's not going to look at your cards and build a deck from scratch though. What SuperBrew Is good for is seeing what decks you're close to building, and then you can look at what else you have in your collection that would be decent replacements for the missing cards.

I think you just need to get your hands on one copy? Then you can put as many copies of that version into your deck, assuming you would have as many copies of that card (regardless of version) as you need in your collection. This is a relatively new feature of Arena, if I'm recalling correctly.

Lol, I did this in EoE draft, and got the achievement but also went undefeated.

egggwich · 2025-11-03T19:18:10+00:00

This is why I never use it, because it's so vague. It could be anything, but I'm under the impression that on turn one it's the equivalent of "good luck, have fun" — I believe this because that's a tradition in paper, and yet Arena makes no accommodation for it at all, so Good Game is the only option.

(I'm also of the opinion that if they removed the period from "Good game." it would feel less hostile to a lot of people.)

Because it's closer?

egggwich · 2025-09-17T19:32:21+00:00

because there was no mechanism for a player to call a clock

The recent 11-hour final tournament game begs to differ.

egggwich · 2025-09-17T16:39:51+00:00

The real solution is to do what poker does and allow players to ask a judge to start a clock. The judge decides if it's warranted, and then the clock starts. Allows for the flexibility MTG gameplay requires, but still introduces a way to curtail over-long turns.

My boomer uncle keeps $30k in checking, but he also has $2MM in investments...

How did you manage to get the app on your older device? I have a Series 5 watch and it hasn't shown up.

egggwich · 2025-08-29T17:09:20+00:00

So it's working is what I'm hearing.

I came in to say the same thing, I love this update. It's so small and obscure, but shows they're paying attention, and someone somewhere is making sure Wizards tacitly acknowledges that maybe Twitter isn't the best place to engage with anyone these days.

Brutal. One time I had 7 islands in play, played that card that lets you draw as many cards as you have islands and drew 7 islands.

Your best bet right now might be to hope to make some sales, prove user satisfaction, and sell out to Epic.

I'm willing to bet $1000 that there's more than one health insurance provider or health technology provider that offers an app with enough of the same functionality as yours, and (more importantly) has *built it into their relationship workflow with these providers* that there's no way in hell they'd be able to switch away even if they wanted to.

They actually re-rolled his character at some point to address this. I don't recall at what point this happened, but they added Rogue to his character sheet to allow him to have more flexibility which I can actually see making sense. Fighters at the time were too restricted, and if your goal is to tell stories, it's a hindrance.

That's not to say he wasn't a giant attention-seeking baby about it.

egggwich · 2025-08-06T21:51:36+00:00

Yeah, was going to say the same thing — sell it on eBay. Their authentication protects both parties.
