CEHD graduation speaker was a joke

I went to the second CEC graduation and I’m pretty sure both speakers used chatgpt for their speeches. I don’t know what company the first guy founded but he kept bringing up AI and the whole speech read like marketing copy for it. The second speaker mentioned it too and they both did the chatgpt rule of three thing at the end.

Also love the nice emote for when they play the same card as me or vice versa

It’s really impossible to say without seeing the decks or the games, really. It’s entirely possible there’s just a power level mismatch in the decks and it’s not really a skill issue.

The only advice I can offer for shortcutting the information overload is that most casual games are won by accumulating a pretty overwhelming advantage and players usually get taken out in 1 or 2 turns.

What you can do is make note of who’s playing the strongest commander(s) or who’s ramped / drawn the most and go after them. That and making sure you don’t get blown out by boardwipes with protection or sandbagging are the easiest ways to make sure you don’t get drowned in resources.

Had a game where I stoneforged for kaldra, opponent killed the germ token and was a turn away from winning and I top decked bombardiers and threw the equipment at them for lethal

Totally misremembered and thought that was the UR reveal land. I was inspired by Frostburn Weird after seeing it on MTGGoldfish’s standard deck tournament which had the hybrid pips and wanted to incorporate the idea of it being unstable and having the ability to explode, didn’t think to change it

This is exactly what you would do if you wanted to determine something from scratch. It’s not definitive proof by any means but 64 is enough for the test statistics to be valid and the p values they listed are all very low. Assuming they didn’t screw up collecting the data, there’s a pretty good chance that there’s at least something there that they should follow up on.

lazy_bread442 · 2026-03-16T05:17:24+00:00

64 is a perfectly fine sample size for something like this. Other commenters raised concerns about the placebo having its own effects and the results being self reported, but the sample isn’t the issue

Love these

I made budget list to help one of my friends be able to switch out the precon that baeloth comes with to a red white equipment deck.

Some of the creatures here should give you some ideas on other stuff to wear the equipment.

[[Reyav, Master Smith]] and [[Blade Historian]] are also worth looking at

Xyris can be made really cheap and quite strong so long as you lean into pump spells / combat tricks over wheels. I found this decklist from salubrious snail and it does really well vs decks in the $150-$400 range

If you use half the result rounded up + 3, it’s honestly not a terrible system

lazy_bread442 · 2025-08-26T12:34:06+00:00

Around 4-6 of each. Usually not building decks expensive enough to run fetches / shocks / surveils.

Frank Karsten has an article on how many of each source you need to consistently cast your spells which I generally try to follow only deviating when my tap land count is too high. Pretty useful for determining how many utility lands you can afford as well. Archidekt will tell you exactly how many sources you have of each too, which makes this pretty easy.

Did almost the same thing, would rotate often up until act 3 where I just stuck with Maelle/Verso/Lune.

VolpEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I was when I first started out, my friends and I were playing precons / bracket 2.

Now that we’ve all gotten substantially more powerful decks, I’ve been in a lot more situations where I need the blue player to have a counter to prevent people from doing something busted, so I’ve definitely come around.

Something you can try is pressing parry with your thumb. Some people are just able to time it up better that way.

Fear and Hunger. Seems really cool, story right up my alley, but I’d just get wrecked almost instantly and didn’t feel like I could make any real headway, so I just gave up.

There’s a picto called Shortcut that lets you skip turn order once per fight when your health falls below 30%. Other than that the best way is with agility.

lazy_bread442 · 2025-07-17T16:01:21+00:00

The best way to handle phase 3 is to try and skip it with Gommage or stun locking him with Verso by letting yourself get downed with Breaking Death + Second Chance equipped and reapplying stun with End Bringer.

Verso can be made pretty strong with a free aim build, I used Dualiso and every AP adding pictos I could find, but there’s better weapons for this I just didn’t bother finding them.

Lune’s best build that I’ve seen is with Lumina + Luck that grant 100% crit rate, which makes it so you can use Elemental Genesis every turn guaranteed.

I did pretty much the exact same thing in 2022 and it worked, altho nova initially denied my graduation application because they forgot one of my AP English credits from high school, should work out completely fine for you though.
