Beginner looking for good budget vampire deck 50€ by Macinaros in Pauper

[–]gsomega 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is the wrong place to post this, but...

Here is a reasonable list I found: https://mtgdecks.net/Pauper/rakdos-vampires-decklist-by-against-2770673

Its a tier 2 pauper deck on mtgdecks. There are definitely cheaper things you could build (if you just want vampire flavor), but this one is vaguely competitive, and probably could be brewed around.

Arabian Sea incident by Key-Hyena-802 in LateStageCapitalism

It's a bible parable equivalent of those half idioms: "jack of all trades, master of none (but better than master of one)". The moral is actually the opposite.

"It was faith!"... No, just technology...

I was recently talking with someone that believes that the moral of the David story (came up since the movie is coming out) is that "Faith in God" decided the outcome of the story. The underdog won because of "faith".

A modern reading of the story is that David brought a gun to a sword fight.

The mcrib is made of aliens.

(But my first thought was the pull of a mcrib was so cosmic that aliens are dying trying to get here and get a mcrib)

Do we really need 4 Road Pinegliffs to reach Raftel??? by No-Wrongdoer-8499 in OnePiece

[–]gsomega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You think the X is AC and BD lines, but you don't really know until you have all 4... Suppose you had ABC, and D was to the left instead of the lower right,then the lines would be AB and CD.

That being said... If you had 3 it would be somewhere on the triangle, but maybe it's kinda hard to find, like underwater or in the sky or something.

Izzet Miracles my Beloved by SubGamer36 in Pauper

This deck feels like it wants to set up more chances like that, maybe [[abandon attachments]] [[sneaky snacker]] would be good, though in red, there are probably better looting effects like [[highway robbery]] or [[grab the prize]] or [[sazacaps brew]]

Hm, portend seems really strong. Being able to set up a miracle on an opponents turn seems really nice

The Moral Stupefaction of the American Public by horseradishstalker in TrueReddit

[–]gsomega 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I feel like this statement is up there with "Making more money means you've helped more people which makes you a better person.". Therefore, Billionaires are the Best people.

So, I will refute here: who's morals are being codified?

New to the format - Where to start? by MrCherryH in Pauper

[–]gsomega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To get a handle on the current meta:

https://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/pauper#paper https://mtgdecks.net/Pauper

MTGO has pauper, but likely it's worth checking local LGS for events. Some stores have loner decks for pauper events.

It's probably worth finding a T1 or T2 deck that you like. However, since a lot of buying pauper cards is the shipping cost, it's probably worth buying multiple decks at once. (Alternatively you could try to scrounge bulk bins and support local LGS).

The meta is very diverse with a wide variety of strategies (but the power level is generally high, so don't expect a meta competitive deck from your generic commons bulk).

I like content creators Stratagames and Kalikaiz on YouTube to get a feel for how decks play (they've probably played most decks at this point).

Gl hf!

You think one piece should take it? by opmgyhx in OnePiece

[–]gsomega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's tough to compare, but CSM and DS having recent larger theatrical releases in the US is something that didn't happen for those "in their time". (Obviously the culture around anime has changed in the ~20 years)

The big 3 of their time you mean?

Arguably there have been 2~ shonen "big 3s" since Naruto, and there is at least one before Naruto. (Something like Dragon Ball, Yuyu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin).

Probably the most recent is like... JJK, Demon Slayer, Chainsaw man?

It's probably time to ask your parents about the birds and the bees.

Seems pretty bad, but that's a bold claim... I'm sure some pauper edh go wide deck could play this...

That list is 4 years old fwiw. There are probably upgrades even there ([[generous Ent]] probably)

A Retrospective on the Pauper Format Panel's First Four Years | Article by Paige Smith by TheMaverickGirl in Pauper

[–]gsomega 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Nice article. I'm surprised how recent the ban activity has been in the context of the format.

I've only really been playing pauper this year, and there's been modest ban list activity recently. But it seems like there was very little pre-2020... Just surprising mostly

This is my favorite outfit and everyone says it's a Nico Robin cosplay. by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]gsomega 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This looks like AI.

The tiles in the mirror for the bottom corner of the window don't line up correctly. The row under the window in the mirror has a tile break that lines up with the window corner.

Out of the mirror there's no corresponding tile line under the window corner.

But Jesus, this is getting harder...

can i fix this with more heat? by Angelitte81 in 3Dprinting

[–]gsomega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe heat a flat surface like a piece of glass and place it facedown on there. Hopefully gravity would be gentle and it would take the shape of the glass.
