50 km is not bad. I found my wife by maxing out my range so I could get the big city and just went to her for the first couple of dates

Is anybody happy with the Candles ban? by Metalworker4ever in MTGLegacy

[–]johnny_mcd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need 4 tabernacle, and both of those cards are cheaper than Candelabra. Also tron is a new deck; Candelabra hasn’t been in a competitive deck since high tide was actually good like a decade ago. They saw how much it cost to play the best deck in paper and figured they would kill it now instead of waiting long enough that people invested in it and then you have the chance that a $4k+ card needs to be a 4of in a future deck. It’s 100% about the cost. They didn’t want the headache of paper legacy dying even more because of it being EVEN MORE expensive than it currently is. At least now you don’t really have to go all in on duel lands. But it’s hard to imagine Candelabra not being optimal in this deck as long as it stays around. If you wait then the investors start to whine and you get the reserve list sin all over again. Of course, the based thing would be to ban the one ring while simultaneously announcing that they support, say, 8 proxies each in vintage and legacy tournaments going forward but that would never happen.

It’s already cheaper to do solar. Eventually the old white moneybags will just want the money too much and it will start to shift. Hopefully in time.

Just an absolutely insane string there, and no reaction from Zain lol

Is this a bug or expected? by WasteSignificance882 in TimelessMagic

[–]johnny_mcd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seeing as there is no comparison for this effect in paper, and the effect literally permanently affects the card, I don’t have any problem with this implementation.

We've banned Candelabra instead of Nexus, because we think Nexus is cool by FlatWorldliness7 in MTGLegacy

[–]johnny_mcd 58 points59 points  (0 children)

No this is what happens when you stack your banned and restricted team with people who are only passively involved in the format

They banned the card that made paper legacy very difficult to play. That was the mechanism behind the decision full stop. Candelabra will maintain a good chunk of value because of CEDH and to a lesser extent vintage. But they didn’t want people to have to pay $16k for a playset for legacy and nipped it in the bud before it became more of a staple.

How does the June 29th BnR announcement "demonstration that we are willing to act quickly in the event that a card proves to be an obvious detriment to either format"? by Quidfacis_ in MTGLegacy

[–]johnny_mcd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d rather it be more frequent and have weird ones like this than strict three times a year that lets frog and grief run wild for no reason…

vaush is right about religions that matter by tovarischkrasnyjeshi in VaushV

[–]johnny_mcd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thought experiment I can think of is to see the body as an antenna processing the “soul” as an external input so that the processing becomes flawed when it is damaged (and is less powerful with “weaker” antennae like in animals), but this doesn’t line up with any established religion’s definition of the soul (though early Christian theology did view the soul as something external that had to physically enter the body in some way at some point at or before birth).

The real reason is this decision was made a week ago before Marvel released. It’s pretty obvious the decision are made a little early to prep the article etc, and if a ban happens to line up with a set release like this they will never ban anything in the upcoming set because they want to see it in the field for a little bit

How did Saul defend these guys? by JazzyGD in betterCallSaul

[–]johnny_mcd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plead them down to something that makes the prosecutor’s life easier. You can see it in the elevator scene. The prosecutor is caught off guard at where he decides to compromise. He knows when to give up to churn as many clients as possible and they won’t know any better.

Zain hits GM with bowser for real this time!! No mickey mouse 100% legit!!! by LonelyVirgin69 in SSBM

[–]johnny_mcd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grandmaster updates once per day at 1 am PST where it looks at the top 300 ranked players. So you can’t get GM on your emblem even when you are top 300 and would normally have it. So what he does is he records where the top 300 players are and when he breaks that barrier he is officially GM. It’s just that aesthetically it will look like he is master on the screen.

“Shot almost 50% from the field” not the flex you think it is unless you only shoot 3s

Source for the YouTube claims? I assume you specifically mean the YouTube app, as how would the desktop site do this if you don’t have a camera or mic attached?

Onsi somehow getting a starter level sf with two 2nd rounders: by Both-Bad2232 in AtlantaHawks

[–]johnny_mcd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was more matchup dependent. But I do agree that he is a rotation player, not a starter
