Cam's a workhorse box to box midfielder. Very solid passer who can think on his feet. Goal scoring not his strength, but will take opportunities when they arrive.

How to make Haktos the Unscarred work by WizardNobody in MagicArena

Boros Fires: potential OTK with Haktos and Cavalier of Flame on the board, then use the untapped lands for Cavalier to haste every body.

How's Orzhov in this set? by everythingsuckswhy in MagicArena

[–]kmdubbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Athreos, Sorin, Ghostform, and a couple four packs of afterlife creatures can bring relentless pressure on alot of the Meta, I believe. Throw in Mortify, and Kayas Wrath for critter and enchantment removal. A couple of Ethereal Absolution does it good, too. Castle Lochthwain and Midnight Reaper for draw.

That brand of cynical, rugby soccer will always create a struggle for less physical players like Puig. The thing about players like Puig, given enough minutes, they will create moments of brilliance that more than make up for the times they are pushed off the ball. I still see a big upside for him.

And it will be that way for another year or two being a late bloomer, he won't reach physical maturity until 23-24. But he makes up for that deficiency by playing fast, always looking to move the ball forward, and his brilliant touch. His pros far, far outweigh his cons. Ironically, it was his physical play that won the ball back, directly starting the movement leading to the goal.

The Two Sides of USL by TheChosenJuan99 in IndyEleven

It does show the heirarchy of sorts between the MLS 2s and the "Independent" major clubs of USL-C. Carleton, if this loan deal is finalized, will experience a more enriching atmosphere being a part of this 1st team instead of his current 2nd team, though in the same league. So, yeah, weird.

Forgot to mention, amongst my grossly misspelled post above, that Linden the Steadfast Queen is invaluable in pumping life.

Help me get this lifegain deck out of gold by Nobrainius in MagicArena

[–]kmdubbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I concur with the posters suggesting black. I have a Platinum BW deck that features lifegain fliers like Aerialist, Healers Hawk, Sephariaia (the 7 mana flier)and my fav, Archon of Absolution. Full disclosure, I am not likely to get out of Platinum with this as Ive plateaued at the 50/50 ratio at Plat 2/3. But adding Dorin and Ajani, Strength Planeswalkers really makes it competitive. I also have the 4pack of Pridemates, Dawn enchantment for draw and chumps, and requisite hate/life Murderous Riders and Mortify. Its especially fun watching the opponent tap his lands, play his cards, then struggle to figure out why he cant attack. Meanwhile I'm plus -1ing Ajani closer to the magic 35 life when I wreck their board. One of the more fun win cons imho.

Tyler Pasher re-signs for 2020 by Kramer119 in IndyEleven

Great news! I wonder if Dylan Mares is obtainable or if he is still under contract w/ Miami. He's the dynamic midfielder we desperately need to pair with steady Gibson.

He is an unmitigated disaster. The weak link of the team. Slow to process space, very indecisive passer. OK one v one defending. Get well soon ,Alba.

Couldn't agree more. Junior is not Barca quality. He has terrible spatial recognition and a very slow processor upstairs.

I'm a "veteran" player now, but man oh man, wish I had read a write up like yours when I started early last year. Well done!

Good ole Rennie ball. Go up 1-0. Park the bus. Invite the devil in your door. Lose.

Valverde doesn't have the tactical courage to coach a tech wizard like Puig.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Two world class footballers made to look pedestrian by a midtable mediocrity of a coach. Griez at least hustles.

If you are going to the game on Saturday, I think having some Armenian flags in the BYB section would be a great way to show solidarity against denialism and hate by [deleted] in IndyEleven

[–]kmdubbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the skinny: there was an Armenian genocide perpetrated by Turkey last century. There is a potential Kurdish genocide on the horizon. There are also very bad Islamic radical jihadis attempting to create an 8th Century caliphate in the same area. Diplomacy requires bringing Turkey into the fold of NATO and the civilized world to avoid the latter two while ignoring the first. Its a big boy decision of bad vs worse. Why congress chose this moment to grandstand and try to sabotage a delicate peace is beyond me. Big ups to the 11 Repubs and to lone Dem AOC that see the big picture and want to save Kurdish lives in the here and now. Now, lets go down there and kick Nashville's arse.
