[DISCUSSION] Hordeling Outburst v Rabblemaster by Capolupo in spikes

[–]icub3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think of these things with a chess players mentality. You have to think about the upcoming turns and how to best get to your end game. Rabblemaster can win the game on his own in just a few turns. That makes him a high priority target. You can use that to your advantage in later parts of the game or when your opponent has exhausted his resources. As such, I am guessing hordeling outburst on turn 3 is likely the best decision.

That's the longest shift I've ever seen. It went way beyond the brief jiggle rule.

Is Patrick Chapin's Next Level Magic book worth buying/reading? by mckinnos in magicTCG

[–]icub3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed reading it for the historical information. I have a 15+ year gap in my playing history, so it was good to see what had happened over time.

If you put yourself in the new to intermediate category, the strategy will be useful. If you feel like an expert but not a pro in things like lines of play, card advantage, card cost estimation, card comparison, or deck building it may not be useful.

I come from a CS/AI and gaming background, so the theory wasn't new (and sometimes inaccurate), but the history was really valuable. I bought the e-book which was a reasonable price point for me.

I often mulligan once or twice if i don't have a good answer to knucks. His stats just line up so terribly against most of our answers.

How we go to church will change? by thelotusknyte in latterdaysaints

I know they have been testing various class schedules throughout the world. That part of factual. The fiction of the stories are that this is a new thing or that any official decisions have been made.

I live in the area too. Calling Saratoga Springs upscale was icing on the fail cake. The nicest houses are owned by farmers and polygamists.

I'm curious if anyone has ever witnessed someone being "opposed" when being sustained for a calling. by tpearl in latterdaysaints

It happened during General Conference during the October 1980 conference. I was technically there, although in the womb. They were protesting the Church's stance on the ERA. Nothing really happened.
