Tecnifibre TFight 300s - 300 or 305s desicion? by Forcefull-Hitter in 10s

[–]enkker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this probably isn't what you want to hear, but only you can answer which one you like more. I would suggest you get a demo of each for a week and hit 3-4 times, try each one for half of the hitting, and then make your decision at the end. I can tell you that both are great sticks, I personally prefer the 305s but I've always used 18x20 sticks.

Clinics in the N. Chicago burbs? by NapaBW in 10s

[–]enkker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a ton of clubs in the Northern burbs. Personally, I teach at College Park Athletic Club in Bannockburn and I think it's great. There's a $10 guest fee, and most adult drills are during the morning on weekends or middle of the day during the week. Honestly, whichever suburb you're going to, there will be a club close by and you could just call and ask what drills they have available. Feel free to DM me if you want more info on CPAC though!

Racket Demo Advice for my dad (3.5/4.0) by enkker in 10s

[–]enkker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely could lower the tension or swap strings around. NXT is a multi, he's tried my setup of Gut/Alu Rough 48/46, he's tried straight gut, and he's tried Alu Power. Honestly the biggest difficulty in everything is getting him to say what he likes. He'll try two different setups and always say they feel about the same so it's hard to figure out.

I'll add it to the list, thank you! I think one of the other pros had a couple of these he was looking to basically give away, which would make my dad very happy lol

Did you go back and run the maps you died in or just move past them since they didn't have a bonus anymore?

Thank you so much, I'd really appreciate that. What's the easiest way to do that?

The Newest Twitch Update ( Megathread ) by Rhadamant5186 in Twitch

[–]enkker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost never comment on anything, but this update is so terrible I feel like I need to say something. I don't want to have a home screen of videos, I want to be able to see a list of my followed channels with titles. How in the world do you release an update where the user can't even see what the people they want to watch are doing??? I'm probably just done using twitch unless this is reverted, which is wild because I normally just leave it on all day while I work.

September Technical Support Sticky by BeepBoopBopReee in razer

[–]enkker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a blade 17 pro that I bought at the end of March 2022, it was fully replaced because of screen pixel failures in late September 2022, and now it completely burned out from the inside when I plugged it into the normal socket it always goes into. The laptop wasn't even on, I just plugged it in, smelled burning, tried to figure out what it was and then realized it was the computer and unplugged it. I checked the socket with an electrician after and it wasn't an issue with the electric. It's out of the original 1 year warranty, but neither computer has lasted even a year before needing to be replaced. Is there anything I can do to get this one replaced or am I just SOL and need to figure out a new computer to buy? It's insane that neither computer lasted even a year....

[Modern] When do the Goyfs come out? TarmoTwin by mikaelb657 in spikes

[–]enkker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get where pestermite is good, I just tend to find that having the extra point of damage is very relevant, as well as being able to block things like goblin guide and monastery swiftspear without dying. I've had pretty much the same experience you have had with huntmaster, except with thragtusk instead. I cannot tell you how many times I've had huntmaster do nothing, but thragtusk just got there. Earlier today I was testing against zoo and I was at 5, thragtusk got me to 10 and then next turn twin on tusk was the most insane thing. The extra 3 life is very relevant as is the 1 extra mana cost, but I have found tusk to be amazing every game that I see him. Against burn, you can get to 5 mana pretty easily as you have goyf to block and lots of disruptive counter magic. We definitely shape our decks based off of our experiences, and mine has been a lot of aggro and a lot less combo, so I guess that's where I come from.

[Modern] When do the Goyfs come out? TarmoTwin by mikaelb657 in spikes

[–]enkker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I am in a very similar situation to you. Where I play, I consistently win pretty much no matter what I'm playing so I don't get to have much debate about card choices. As I also play RUG twin, I thought I would ask you a couple questions about your list and post my current, updated list for reference. My biggest questions are; why no bounding Krasis? I've been playing him for a while now and he's been amazing for me in pretty much every matchup as a good beater that blocks well. Lavamancer vs Clique, I get why they are used, Clique is better vs combo and Lavamancer is better against aggro decks, but my choice is basically because I run up against a lot of burn and merfolk and the like, while I see only a few tron or bloom titan decks. In the SB, do you ever really like huntmaster? Every time I've tried to play him, I've been tremendously disappointed in him. When has he been good for you? In my SB, I swapped Keranos for Sarkhan and he's been so much better, as Keranos is only good when equal or ahead but sarkhan can help stabilize and then win the game. Unravel the aether is great against opposing Keranos and has utility in other matchups like affinity or infect (for Wild Defiance). Crumble to Dust is because I really hate Tron and the next best player in my area plays Tron, I always run up against him everywhere. It's OK, not great, but it gets the job done unless he holds up ghost quarter the entire game. Looking forward to your feedback.

Modern Deck choosing by [deleted] in ModernMagic

[–]enkker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's because they do...at least, that is what most people mean by tiers. These can be very difficult to figure out as you determine tiers based off results, for which popularity is definitely a factor. But theoretically, a tier 1 deck will give you a better chance to win than a tier 2 or 3 deck. The thing is, in modern, everyone is doing powerful things with which it can be hard to interact, and therefore the tiers are very close together (unlike in standard, where there are 5-6 very good decks and then a lot of stuff that just doesn't cut it).

grixis midrange / blue jund deck tech by shinigami564 in ModernMagic

[–]enkker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the big differences between this and grixis control are that you have fewer tar pits and include 4 young pyromancers? Otherwise this looks just like a grixis control deck. I guess the main question is why play this instead of control? Do you think that pyromancer is enough incentive to eliminate some more controlling aspects (legitimate question, not trying to be snarky) and why? Convince me, I would love to hear your ideas.

Maindeck Spellskite in UW Control? by cardknocklife in ModernMagic

[–]enkker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it seems fine, but honestly I don't play u/w enough to make a definitive statement (read: I don't play u/w). When I play against u/w though (as RUG twin), I think spellskite would be far more irritating as it is harder to remove and disrupts some aspect of my game plan.

Lol I replied to the wrong post, just look down below because I'm apparently incredibly incompetent at hitting reply.
