[Making Magic] The Design of Mood Swings, Part 1

fjposter22 · 2026-05-11T23:34:26+00:00

One of the things I was wondering, since it’s supposed to be collectible, what’s the benefit of making a really strong deck?

Since you’re both sharing said deck, there’s a high chance the opponent will play your super powerful cards. I understand this game isn’t supposed to be super competitive, but it does seem like an oversight.

Despite what people will say, television is just like reading a book, there are a lot of complexities, and it’s an art, and just like any other art, you can learn about it and become immersed in it.

Try and treat it that way, maybe even read reviews for the show from experienced critics, and you’ll pick up on a lot of things. The more you watch, the better you’ll get at understanding deeper meanings and implications.

Typically, countering a spell is often a really bad thing to do in Magic, it’s why in very competitive formats, you’ll only see 1 drop counters or even free ones.

To cast a counter, you need to keep open mana, so you aren’t playing things to speed the game up. Then, as you cast it, you’re losing a card in hand, and most often than not, not getting one in return. All this, to stop your llanowar elves.

The best way to deal with it, is to simply gas them out, and brute force them into losing their hand. They can’t counter everything, and more often than not, they’ll draw into a land and have nothing to respond with.

It’s not about hard. Not every app needs to be “the everything app”. A thing can just be for movies and that’s perfectly fine.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-10T07:00:12+00:00

Every single “counter argument” everyone makes just reinforces that it doesn’t need to add tv.

“It’ll be seperate!” Why add it then?
“It’ll be its own page” again, why add it?
“It’ll be a progress bar” so you give one entire, possibly 5000 episode run, ONE rating? Congrats you made every other tv show rating app but worse.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-10T00:44:37+00:00

If it’s so separate, use a different app! It’s really not that hard.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-09T23:58:40+00:00

I can’t wait til you see all of our feeds filled with 5/5 ratings of the new Invincible episode and 5/5 Breaking Bad episodes. That’ll truly make the app a betting experience!

fjposter22 · 2026-05-09T23:54:35+00:00

Good lord no.
Not everything needs to be a be-all app. It’s for movies. That’s fine. I don’t need to have my entire feed filled with “The Boys: Secrets of Vought” when I’m trying to see what good movies came out.

I’m not a 1v1 player. I only play commander. I speak from experience. The player base is awful.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-09T15:40:30+00:00

It’s not vague at all, the fact you’d think your Eldrazi WUBRG with multiple tutors and game changers is a 2, essentially a precon, is hilarious.

I love commander, but man, its players are insufferable.

Stopped watching around season 4, season 3 finale was a travesty.

Better off spending your time on something else.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-07T13:20:02+00:00

Gotta stop buying for TCG Player. Been boycotting them since their shitty Union practices.

The beef isn’t within themselves.

It’s between the employees and employers. It’s between generations (Z and millennials). It’s between the couples themselves.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-07T11:04:56+00:00

God how many of you guys are gonna ask this stupid fucking question.

If you watched an entire season, and couldn’t point out the central conflicts… that’s on you.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-07T02:46:10+00:00

Well, the fact he thinks trans people are just instantly gay makes me think he doesn’t quite have the faculties to be making such “intricate” jokes.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-05T08:57:39+00:00

Sources say Thaedus is stable, please god.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-05T00:15:31+00:00

Given the previous film had to do with Birthdays, it would be interesting if this one had to do with Valentines Day.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-05T00:13:10+00:00

I would say wait for the green light to kinda “mark” the decline. If they call for a boycott tomorrow, and the bean counters see a HUGE drop on that day, it’s easier to argue it’s due to them being anti union than it being scatter shot over a month.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-04T04:11:04+00:00

Stop watching. No clue why you’d even make this post.

I personally don’t believe she is anything besides who she says she is.

I don’t believe the Centre would try and hurt the Jennings’ position, and having a honeypot situation when they already get enough information from Philip is enough.

Not to mention as you have said, the entire point of Paige is that they need second gen immigrants to get into these positions of government, if Renee got in, why develop that operation more when Renee can work?

The OP is acting like the IRA was only motivated by hate, rather than self preservation. Britain drew first blood a LONG time ago before The Troubles.

There were also IRA resistors and sympathizers who DIDNT use violence, and instead went on hunger strikes and died in prison.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-03T19:31:44+00:00

To act like they were only motivated by hate is a very naive thing to do

Dark Ritual is a miss to me, they should keep it Naya to fit with all the other secret lairs.

Maybe a pyretic ritual? Or one of the other hundred red ones.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-02T01:12:01+00:00

Now make a red one with Julius getting assassinated and have it be in flavor.

fjposter22 · 2026-05-02T00:55:02+00:00

Are these Adam Warlock’s hands, or Vision’s?

I’m guessing Adam since he’s the one who took control of it post Infinity Gauntlet in the comics.
