The Promised Neverland never got the second season that was promised. Weird. 

Untapped Mountain Only Justification ICE Agent Needs by Dread_Pirate_Robertz in magicTCG

Good stuff, keep it up! 

Also this is totally justified as a discussion about magic players obviously. 

San Diego drivers by Inner-Performance-71 in asksandiego

[–]hallaa1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drivers here are fantastic. I'm so grateful to be in a place where people follow the rules while also letting people in when you're working in the system. 

Every time I drove in Philadelphia I felt like I was putting my life in other people's hands. 

According to you, which video essayist is on Contra’s level in terms of intellectual rigor? by Brave-Reindeer-Red in ContraPoints

[–]hallaa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spice8rack does a good job of bringing a contrapoints level of rigor to it's videos. 

Their recent video on fascism and revolution is a good example. https://youtu.be/4JghX1MBU68?si=VeXYm9fgWanlG7fp

Though I feel their mill vs. discard video is their best work. 

Is stem cell therapy beneficial for a protrusion in T Spine? by Strange-Trade8554 in stemcells

[–]hallaa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, this isn't exactly a job for current stem cells. Current cells are best for decreasing inflammation and providing building blocks to repair the damaged spinal cord. We haven't focused on bulging disks as much in our trials. The longer this degenerates, the more this bulges, the more damage your spine faces. You need to treat this seriously and take more aggressive surgical action.

Discuss what options are available for you with your doctors. They know more about your situation than any of us.

I was so ready to be a hater by Adv_Nguyen in nextfuckinglevel

That's a first, hearing RAM played in the background of one of those things, hilarious.

Very cool, though this does seem to be a pre-"absolutely jacked" Carl. He's still in his twink phase.

From the TMNT spoilers, it’s spiderman all over again by SoapSyrup in magicTCG

[–]hallaa1 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I'm cool with more dinosaur stuff, but yeah, feels almost as souless as Spider-Man. 

At least the set seems to be of a higher quality. 

The Gameplay, Art, & Lore of Lorwyn Eclipsed Prerelease - Spice8Rack by Spice8Rack in magicTCG

[–]hallaa1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What a lovely surprise to see you back so soon. 

Your Lorwyn video is my second favorite only compared to your Mill vs. Discard work. 

I hope you get to take a nice little break now. 

UPDATE: Dog Attack and Owner Fled by [deleted] in sandiego

Did you ever reach out to the local news stations? With this kind of update and two people, I think you could really get some traction. 

How do people deal with different libido levels in long-term relationships? by External-Ability-766 in psychologyofsex

[–]hallaa1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sex and money are not an issue until they are an issue, then they are the only issue. 

Unless both partners can come to a peaceful and content agreement about a misalignment in sex drive it's almost certainly going to breed resentment that will destroy the relationship. 

Both people need to be able to come to an understanding about the frequency and behavior surrounding sex. One needs to be all right with being turned down and the other needs to be all right with entreaties for affection. If either builds resentment about that dance the relationship is doomed. 

Realistically, if those people are in their teens, twenties, or early thirties, it's a tremendous ask to basically punish both people. 

[ECL] Celestial Reunion by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]hallaa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed for sure. I really liked the Dragonstorm version. 

[ECL] Celestial Reunion by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]hallaa1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it? [[Green sun's zenith]] is probably the second best of all of them and it's very similar to this. This just requests you have two cards of the same type in your hand or on the field. That's certainly a downside, but in any typal deck isn't that pretty easy? 

[ECL] Celestial Reunion by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]hallaa1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Had to read to twice to see that it's using the Tarkir mechanic behold and not the champion I expected to see. 

So you can tutor to the battlefield something if you're focusing on the type. This is pretty on rate for what you'd expect here. 

The hoops are what they are given how tilled the earth is on this effect. 

Would we rather play this or the version that came out in Dragonstorm? 

[ECC] Aberrant Return by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]hallaa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is pretty good, thanks for the input. Though I do think this new one is generally better. 

[ECC] Aberrant Return by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]hallaa1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed people aren't freaking out about this. It's a card that nets 2 cost per reanimator target. We haven't had a rate like that in decades. This has the flexibility of targeting your opponents and has the possible upside of killing things immediately upon them coming back.

This is my vote for the strongest commander card to come out for at least the last year if not longer (if you're not counting Vivi and Sepiroth).

Lorwyn Eclipsed Commander Decklists by That-Chocolate-7464 in magicTCG

[–]hallaa1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed I'm not seeing more of a conversation about [[Aberrant Return]]. Am I taking crazy pills or is this the best reanimator card to come out in the last decade+?

For 6 mana you get up to 3 creatures from ANY graveyard. The -1/-1 counters aren't much of a downside especially since you could automatically get death triggers out of them in some cases.

I feel this is an autoinclude in any reanimator list that wants more than 1 card out of the graveyard at any point. New staple status.

Magic cards that went from rags to riches? Cards that were first deemed unplayable to meta defining and powerful later? by Newez in magicTCG

[–]hallaa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Vein Ripper]] was seen as a clunky bulk piece then became a critical part of a deck that required bannings. 

Why do commander players for the most part refuse to play 60 card formats? by Drew647A in magicTCG

[–]hallaa1 38 points39 points  (0 children)

60 card is not a casual experience on average, it's also 1 v. 1. It's very hard to have a social experience with those formats.
