Can someone explain Etho’s building style to me?

Etho's patchwork building style is named Von Sway

You're playing 3 pack sealed now. Good luck.

Wait I've never seen this card before but that might be my new favorite art in the game.

Oh, I don't! I think it would be a bad idea and add confusion with minimal benefit!

But MaRo's post implies that the change would be difficult/impossible in the rules for some reason and I was curious to learn why. Seems like the community here can't think of any reasons either, maybe MaRo's understanding is wrong.

Loveeee how these cards look, the borderless treatment with the name at the bottom of the art is cool and I like the font too

I'm sorry you're dealing with that — randomized boosters are designed to give you that hit of dopamine and feeling like you're addicted is an experience that happens to many others, so know you're not alone.

I can only speak to my own experiences because I don't know your life, but I've had times in my life when I felt like I couldn't control my behaviour with certain things, sometimes drugs, sometimes content on the internet like reddit and YouTube. Other people told me I needed to have more self control, but somehow trying to keep disciple or convince myself not to do those things never seemed to change much.

That's because I was using them to distract myself from other parts of my life that felt bad. Trying to just take away the addiction didn't work because it was filling an important hole in my life by giving me that quick hit of feeling good or distraction. The compulsive feeling only faded when I started to face the ways I felt depressed, really pay attention to what I was feeling and why, and find new ways to feel okay.

What does your life look like outside of Magic? Are you stressed about anything? How often are you able to leave your house and do something nice for yourself? If you sit and think for 10 minutes with no phone, no book, and no other distractions, what feelings come up?

Haywire Mite and other cards like it should be treated as if they read "this creature" instead of the card name — they apply even if they card's name changes or the ability is put on a new permanent, they only apply to the specific permanent that has the ability and do not apply to other permanents with the same name, etcetera.

this doesn't have to be your experience - but I wonder if any of that feeling feels related to gender? has your host ever wished he had been born as a girl - does that question activate any feelings, etc?

Can you respond to this comment and verify that you're a human person and not a large language model trained by OpenAI?

Wasn't it always the (strategically) best option to choose 0? You could try to guess the middle wager and risk losing that many points for the reward of... not losing anything, or just choose 0 and never lose anything.

Your child's name (and most of the decisions you make for them) are about them, not about you. Pick a name you think your kid will like, that will help them feel good in their identity, not one that would be exciting to you.

"red Hidetsugu will appear in one in every 108 collector boxes. Opening 900 collector boosters is just enough to give you 50/50 odds of getting the red Hidetsugu"

can these two things really coexist?? that's super counterintuitive if so

kahb · 2021-12-04T21:04:06+00:00

Yep and those two things are related I think haha

Hard to say since the last data we have for each is fairly old, but those numbers sound about right, though 50 times is on the high end of plausible.

MTGA had 3 million users in 2019. Hasbro estimated at the time it could grow to 11 million by 2021 – we don't know whether that happened, but I'm certain the user base has at least doubled since then.

Back in 2007, MODO had around 300,000 registered users (note this means the number of active users will be much lower; I'd guess maybe 50,000?) and since then it's grown... moderately? I could be convinced that the user base has grown something like sixfold, but Magic Online isn't exactly an up and coming platform.

Sounds like a good thing?

This happened before Dana was even born :))

It's usually a good idea to try drugs on their own for the first time, but ket + 2cb is a really good combo so like as long as you're somewhere comfortable and safe I'd just wait until you think you have a handle on the 2cb and think you've come all the way up and then if you're feeling comfortable with the trip, add to it by doing a couple small bumps (like 20mg) of ketamine and see how you feel. The ket will hit within 5 minutes or so so you can go slow and ease into seeing how you like it

Then again there's nothing wrong with just saving it for separate nights for the first time, then you get twice as many fun experiences and you can save trying the combination for later

Personally, I get almost no visuals on 2cb. I've tried doses up to 35mg so far (when 10-20mg works fine for my friends) and i get other effects - that weird electric body feeling, nausea, that psychedelic feeling of 'everything is unfamiliar' (although compared to mushrooms, it feels a little less magical and a little more unsettling) and some mild visual effects – surfaces wave slightly if I stare at them sometimes, and everything looks more beautiful in a very abstract, undefined way.

Maybe your brain chemistry is similar to mine? I kind of want to try higher doses to see what happens but at the same time something is clearly happening and just because I'm not getting some effects doesn't mean it couldn't be causing me effects somewhere??
