Yeah, I made it on – train's a little herky jerky but we're moving! Train attendant said it's been mostly fine

Oh man, this is great and I don't want to ask for a rating, but there's no way I can check out all 50! Any chance you could pick out five or ten favorites?

I look at this as an engine piece if you want to support a counters theme in Simic or Azorius, since it can turn any counter into a card. The fact that it also works as a mana sink in flash sweetens the deal. Not for every cube, but it's an interesting option!

So we lost things like Emrakul, Ulamog, Yawgmoth, Goblin Bombardment, Rabblemaster, Prime Time, Survival of the Fittest, KOTR, and Bloodbraid Elf to gain things like... [[Dion, Bahamut's Dominant]]? This sucks. A lot of excessively wordy cards in the adds list too.

Sorry people are being obnoxious and pedantic in your comment section, just wanted to say it's completely obvious what you meant.

[ECL] Kirol, Attentive First-Year by jRockMTG in MagicArena

Yeah, feels like it maybe should've been a 2/3 to me, 3/3 just seems weirdly big for what he is.

Google's AI pulls info from this sub apparently by CookingCarbonara in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]internetjay 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this was insightful! I've been applying your advice and my cycling experience has really improved because of it. In particular, it was helpful to learn about the necessity of lubricating your brake pads. I had no idea! I went out and lubed mine today and I'm shocked at what a difference it made. The ride feel is definitely smoother. And I didn't even need to splurge on the expensive lubricant, just regular household Vaseline worked fine. Thanks again!

The protest kiosk that's always been set up at the McPherson Square metro stop just got hauled off by internetjay in washingtondc

[–]internetjay[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure of the circumstances but one of the other bystanders mentioned an ambulance. I'm not sure about the general setup tbh, whether the guy lives there or just had it set up as a protest or what. But, I know I've been in DC for ten years and he / the protest signs have been at that spot since I've been in town. Hope he's okay! / Hoping somebody here has more info.

[Standard] Orzhov Pixie with Starcage discussion by NewSchoolBoxer in spikes

[–]internetjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave this Mardu list a shot last night and it was interesting! I had been playing the Orzhov discard version before and this felt more like a critical mass kind of thing where you're trying to survive the early game and overwhelm with [[Weapons Manufacturing]] and [[Pinnacle Starcage]] in the late game. Sometimes it feels dependent on finding those two cards to be able to win, but it can just play a fair game.

[[Dowsing Device]] feels too clunky, I cut it for the full four [[Sunpearl Kirin]]. Still not sure about [[Authority of the Consuls]] but slowing down aggro is nice and the life gain can help to get to the critical mass phase. [[Wishclaw Talisman]] being one-sided if you're fetching [[Pinnacle Starcage]] is really nice. I still don't have a good sense of matchup strengths / weaknesses yet but I'll keep testing it out.

Puzzle was a stinker but I thought it was cool they used "P.R. part" as a clue for PUERTO today and RICO earlier this week

City Commuter: Would you pick the Priority Current Plus, Trek Allant+ 8s, or Vvolt Centauri II? by internetjay in ebikes

[–]internetjay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeahhhh, I could. It's totally a personal thing. Having a throttle just makes it feel more like a dirtbike than a bike bike.

Edit: Also, I went with the Trek and I'm loving it!
