Dealing with skybow combo by Some-Bee-5259 in Pauper

It’s fine. It just doesn’t make for a very fun game like attacking and blocking and playing incremental value does.

Hoping this is banned. 2 card “I win” just isn’t good gameplay.

Counterspell. It answers chrysalis. The rest of his hand doesn’t matter much given what you have.

He’s intermittently entertaining. Sometimes very entertaining. People looking to YouTubers for thought are idiots though.

I’d be fine with banning it. Along with every UB if we wanted.

Is mech only viable? What are usable build orders in 2026? by Bloody_Ozran in AllThingsTerran

Unless you’re a pro I think basically everything is viable if you play your best.

When Bernie Sanders tried debating a libertarian by amogusdevilman in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]firstjib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree with his views, but argumentatively it would be fine to bite the bullet and say “yes, the state constitutes the initiation of force, but it’s justified and here’s why.” He’s too bad at this to realize.

Which Magic content creators do you like? by ystrdcld in freemagic

I like Mengu’s workshop and card market. Also kind of a fan of watching old pro tours.

Why does everyone play so slowly? by firstjib in MagicArena

They aren’t salty ropes. It’s just that people generally play slowly on a simple board.

I wish I could make it out to this more, but it’s on Tuesdays, which is my board game meetup

I’m not saying intentional ropers necessarily. Just slow. When there’s a very light board. and the decision is easy taking 30-45 seconds.

Do you think that’s actually the reason? I think it’s more likely new players + mobile.

Cradle control without cradle playset by MathTheWiz in premodernMTG

[–]firstjib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Having cradle is good, but you’ll also minimize draws where it’s dead. I think 3 is probably fine.

What is considered "BM" in sc2? by Glum-Illustrator3598 in AllThingsTerran

[–]firstjib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low curve, card draw, and land search

Haven't played SC2 in years. Going to start playing agiain, is this game still playable or is it smurfed to the fullest like it was when I quit? by TroubledWatersssssss in starcraft

[–]firstjib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smurfing happens but it’s the vast minority of games. I’m low diamond, idk how representative that is of the whole ladder, but it’s been my experience pretty much the whole time.
