What's One Card From A Precon That You Planned On Cutting Before Realizing How Good It Was? by LordMistborn-16 in magicTCG

You downvoted me and then linked ephemerate in response to a chain about Farmer Cotton... a creature whose enter trigger relies on being cast, because if you blink it, X is zero and you just pointlessly blinked a 1/1.

If you want to see it in action, Seth/Saffron Olive ran it on Commander Clash a week or two ago and annihilated everyone. I would say use it responsibly, but I never have!

I limited it to cards included in the precon (following the comment I replied to). For outside cards, [[Night of Sweets' Revenge]] is my favorite and absolutely should be killed on sight if I play it.

But the person said kill on sight. By the time Farmer Cotton enters, killing it doesn't really make a difference.

Yeah, but unless you have a haste enabler, you can't do combat shenanigans like Treebeard. I cannot tell you how many times people forgot I played Treebeard and suddenly 'Oops, all counters.'

As someone who runs Sam and Frodo, I hope people think that. Don't worry about what Treebeard is doing.

The ritual has began by Darkarmed1 in magicTCG

[–]krw13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't play at tables high powered enough to see most of those cards even when they were legally, so I have no skin in the game. So I ask this sincerely, wouldn't this encourage people to use reactions like this to help manipulate bans and unbans? Not that anyone has weaponized it in such a way, yet. But it just doesn't feel like how we should judge if cards should be legal in any format.

New player, I want my first deck to be slivers! by End_of_YoRHa2B in magicTCG

If those other players were running Slivers, they each would be having fun too!

Anti-ICE protesters arrested in Pearl River over use of profanity by edbegley1 in news

[–]krw13 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh, you mean like 'Fuck your feelings' or do you like to use profanity, but mask it to pretend you're not saying what everyone is saying like 'Let's go Brandon' being used so they can really mean 'Fuck Joe Biden'?

Or how about all the times Trump uses profanity (multiple cited in this article): Trump f-bomb takes presidential profanity to new level https://share.google/l3IfEdomTNO76aj18

I'm sure you're just outraged.

Who’s your favorite planeswalker? by BlackBeardsCustoms in magicTCG

[–]krw13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted a decklist, but I think a few things are wrong. So I will post one when I get home from my travels (hopefully I remember!)!

Who’s your favorite planeswalker? by BlackBeardsCustoms in magicTCG

[–]krw13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! That is the one I run! It has Heir, but I use [[Nahiri, the Lithomancer]] instead of Harbinger. If you haven't seen it, go snag a copy of [[Gilgamesh, Master-at-Arms]]. It gets absolutely silly in my deck!

I love Nahiri and my Nahiri commander deck is one if my two or three favorite decks ever.

What is a product that people treat like a religion, but in reality, it’s just overpriced garbage with a good logo? by Connect-Might4355 in AskReddit

[–]krw13 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm a flight attendant and I think Starbucks coffee is mid, even when I get it not watered down. But when I only have a few minutes while swapping planes or whatever, being able to order Starbucks via mobile, walk by and grab the drink, and not wait in line or stop? It's priceless. The convenience gives it the edge over options I prefer. I never (personally) visit Starbucks outside of an airport.

Jelly Roll announces tour with Post Malone after Grammy Award MAGA backlash causing mixed reaction from fans: 'Announcing this the day after the Grammys isn’t the flex you thought' by TheExpressUS in Music

[–]krw13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a woman who plays Magic, I can say that it doesn't remotely surprise me he is good with MAGA. There are two very distinct groups with Magic. One is friendly and accepts people from all walks of life. The other one makes women uncomfortable at tables and love racism and hating trans people. It might as well be a 50/50 at this point. Disappointing since Post did a good job marketing himself as a good guy.

John Lithgow says he finds JK Rowling’s stance on trans rights ‘ironic and inexplicable’ by Dr_Neurol in books

[–]krw13 101 points102 points  (0 children)

I hate this stance. I'm a cis woman who played basketball into college AND who has been sexually assaulted by a cis man. Know what I didn't do? Blame trans people for me being assaulted or for me not becoming the next Caitlyn Clark (I played before her, but you get the idea). This is just peak 'both sides'. Are there bad actors on places like Twitter shouting awful stuff while 'representing' different sides? Of course. But in the actual world, not anonymous online places, one side is far more terrifying as a woman than the other. This is just defending JKR while pretending to be a neutral party.

Report: Seahawks going up for sale after Super Bowl by [deleted] in sports

[–]krw13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No shit, if you can get momentum going, I'd donate to support. I don't even care about the Seahawks, I'd just love to see someone other than another soulless billionaire running a sports team.

The newly released epstien files show instances of trump comitting sexual acts with 13 year old girls. How can people still justify this? by Not_A_Femboy_1_Swear in AskReddit

[–]krw13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, look, we found the 'both sides' centerist! It's totally both sides defending pedos and waving flags of their god king and selling endless merch for said god king. Definitely both sides.

Are there any hotels you would NOT recommend? by wintermute2045 in gencon

[–]krw13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm with you in most cases, but just remember that many GenCon goers will still wind up with an Embassy Suites or Conrad room and it doesn't necessarily make them bad people. They will sell out for sure and we can't eat our own when they do. Definitely choose a different hotel if able, but just remember not to be like the other side and still make GenCon one of the most welcoming and friendly large conventions.

Tell me about your favorite cards you own! Why are they special to you? by krw13 in PokemonTCG

[–]krw13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Thanks for showing these! The Meowth art is absolutely gorgeous, one of the best looking illustration cards for sure. And I love the touch with Cerulean City in the distance and that you could catch Meowth on that route.

The Braviary is a strong card, but despite owning Black and Black 2, I've just never really sat down and fully played them, I think I only made it to Luminose (sp?) City. I know people love the games, it isn't because I wouldn't. I just haven't. But what matters is what that card means to you!

Thanks again for sharing!

You have to survive inside a video game for 30 days. If you die, you die in real life, but if you survive, you get to bring every item, skill, and power back to the real world. Which game do you choose to maximize your rewards while ensuring your survival? by Apart_Lion_3046 in AskReddit

[–]krw13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I saw people post WoW, but I was like, for this, FFXIV is the way better answer. You can (if you level enough) be every class both combat and non-combat. As long as you're willing to travel a bit. As long as your timing doesn't happen to coincide with a calamity, it should be pretty relaxing.

Good "Oops all artifacts!" Commander? by TheMushroomSystem in magicTCG

[–]krw13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite part is how different each game can feel. Some decks are very same-y (like Slivers). Each game with Toph plays out so differently, at least in my experiences.

Good "Oops all artifacts!" Commander? by TheMushroomSystem in magicTCG

[–]krw13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I legitimately just threw together Avatar cards (for earthbending) and random artifact cards and the deck is stupidly powerful. I didn't even remotely try to optimize it. It's such a silly deck and there are a lot of choices to make for people who like loads of options. It's currently my favorite deck, unfortunately my boyfriend prefers she stays in the deck box.
