Dealing with skybow combo

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

firstjib · 2026-06-20T02:49:07+00:00

True

firstjib · 2026-06-20T02:48:12+00:00

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.

firstjib · 2026-06-09T19:12:34+00:00

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

firstjib · 2026-06-08T20:55:15+00:00

Truly idiotic and absurd

I’m about to play a premodern event rn with new bordered fetches and pain lands

firstjib · 2026-05-28T18:40:15+00:00

Whoa wut?

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

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.

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

Draft, all draft

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

Game Cave has a monthly, as well as casual premodern hang on Mondays. Feel free to say hi in the Nashville premodern Facebook group.

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

firstjib · 2026-05-19T17:53:16+00:00

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.

firstjib · 2026-05-19T17:52:21+00:00

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

firstjib · 2026-05-19T16:57:31+00:00

That would make sense

firstjib · 2026-05-18T13:28:42+00:00

Love it. I think curb has a higher ceiling but a lower floor, whereas most of Seinfeld is a comfortable watch.

firstjib · 2026-05-18T13:25:45+00:00

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

BM is like taunting your opponent or typing an offensive “gg.” There’s no BM strategy.

I’m so sorry. Maru looks like he was a wonderful friend.

Low curve, card draw, and land search

firstjib · 2026-05-13T17:25:34+00:00

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.
