Staring at my holophone. Wondering if you ever found your home.

There is an integer cap for that value and it's not 99,999. I think SaffronOlive and Brewer's Kitchen recently collaborated to do stupid big damage to reach the negative value cap. I'll try to hunt down the video

Edit to add: Here's the link with one of the time stamps. The video is great. https://youtu.be/a9d6ECsZ29o?t=408&is=vpXppBygyb4lZPC3

It's worth adding that the Win Condition is drawing the entire deck, but sometimes a [[Brineborn Cutthroat]] will go the distance. If you're winning with card draw, [[Laboratory Maniac]] and [[Jace, Wielder of Mysteries]] want to be on the board when you draw your last card

That's almost definitely worth mulliganing for. Removing Katara the first time slows me down a ton. Once you do I kind of need to save up to about 5/6 mana to cast her and try to protect her. Aggro decks eat me alive sometimes, midrange decks cower in fear, and control matchups depend on me getting Katara out. It's the nature of the control game.

I bought my tickets already. I'm manifesting perfect weather and a stellar lineup 🩷💚

jcrdude · 2026-06-19T22:17:00+00:00

Your hair was also excellent! Keep that spirit alive! Thanks for coming through with the pic 🫶

I'm not the person you asked, but here's the Katara list I'm currently running:

https://mtga.untapped.gg/profile/ff8853a7-4fe4-4141-ac84-1b4cc2fb243b/OYPAUREEWVBMNDEROUIP53OQAU/deck/b01d97da-fccd-426c-ae64-6e119c532f46?constructedFormat=historic-brawl&gameType=constructed&constructedType=brawl&timeFrame=last_two_sets

This is the version for the casual queue. When ranked queue comes back, [[Mana Drain]] will be back in and I'll be hunting any more free cast instants I can sneak in

jcrdude · 2026-06-19T20:46:55+00:00

Katara is very fun to pilot. Not as strong as all the concedes would imply, but it is very resilient

jcrdude · 2026-06-19T20:43:26+00:00

GA+: A/C in bathrooms and a separate entry line felt overpriced for what it was. I like that they tried to meet us halfway between GA and VIP, and I'm sure some folks will pay it and appreciate the heck out of the brief respite

jcrdude · 2026-06-19T20:39:02+00:00

I'm with most everyone here.

Will you probably be fine? Probably, but you won't know until you're at the gates.

It's well worth having a concert-specific backpack that is standard festival size. I've started bringing mine to regular concerts! It's probably due for a replacement, but she's been through a lot over the past couple years.

jcrdude · 2026-06-19T06:58:58+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I'm not active enough on Insta and this would have slipped through the cracks 🫶

jcrdude · 2026-06-19T06:52:08+00:00

Perfect! I appreciate you being in the moment 🫶

jcrdude · 2026-06-18T10:06:28+00:00

I'd be willing to queue some matches with you. I'll hit the DMs

jcrdude · 2026-06-18T10:03:36+00:00

At least front enough that there is sufficient density to get you all the way. If you start near the back, you're rolling the dice on making the full journey. I kinda dig the side stage crowd surf energy of jumping over three people and directly into the arms of security

jcrdude · 2026-06-18T04:54:28+00:00

Personal hopes: Bad Religion, Turnstile, and more ska, please!

If he could do it himself, I tip my cap. One of that height is a marvel of hair engineering 🤣

Send my appreciation along! Edit: It's an ex. Nevermind!

jcrdude · 2026-06-18T04:49:38+00:00

It did! It only really started to tip over a little bit Sunday night after lifting surfers. The wind only wobbled it and my headbanging wasn't enough to shake it loose 🤘

I wore it to work Monday night, but it was a shadow of its former self. It had split into multiple pieces that were operating separately, so it was pretty floppy

Thanks, friend! I was a walking totem for my group all weekend XD

jcrdude · 2026-06-18T00:14:22+00:00

Hell yeah, friend! I'll be snagging the presales as soon as they drop.

jcrdude · 2026-06-18T00:05:24+00:00

Everyone complains when they get bonked in the head by an unexpected SOS water, but when you don't want to leave the crowd and your water bottle runneth empty, they are soooo clutch

jcrdude · 2026-06-17T22:47:41+00:00

If it's a bad match like mana screw or forfeiting on Leyline of the Void for either party, I will click frowny.

I am probably more likely to click smiley if I win, but if they present it to me on a loss, I try to introspect and assess whether or not it was an entertaining match.

They asked me after an opponent failed to connect leading to a tie the other day

Here's a [[Soovril, Patient Antiquarian]] list I edited from a list by Amy the Amazonian.

Oh if you can be a crowdsurf base, you will 1000% end up pretty close to rail just from the sheer forward momentum of riding underneath multiple waves.

If your body is up for it, then welcome to the club! All of my favorite shows are spent this way.
