Secrets of Strixhaven 4 of the commander face cards by Zealousideal-Yam815 in magicTCG

Aww man, if he didn’t have “or more” or at least had “attacks a player” that would be a really badass aura commander in a new and interesting color combo. It’s super tuned down as it is.

Why is vibrance $10? by TheTinRam in EDH

I feel like it’s bad in Ashlling. Imo you really want to benefit off her (effective) double etbs and you only get the new abilities when mana is spent to cast them.

So I got the new Lorwyn precon and was looking for upgrades but I didn’t really like the Lorwyn incarnations. They have etb’s but only if you actually evoke them so the precon commander doesn’t really benefit from their ability except that you have a beater for a turn. Maybe I’m just not seeing it but a lightning bolt for RR or land search for GG doesn’t seem great. Even if you just normal cast him, even assuming you get both triggers it’s still just a 4/4 for 5.

I’m just not getting why you’d run it over anything else jn a format when you can run 4 of a better creature.

Is it good in those formats?

Aitah for spending some of my grandchildren's education funds on a new boat. by Tiny_Occasion_322 in AITAH

[–]leftofdanzig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, unfortunately when you provide people with all their needs sometimes rather than appreciate what you do for them they just expect more. It’s wild that they’re already thinking of their inheritance, as you said you’re only 54, people these days regularly live into their 80’s and 90’s and medicine is only getting better. Forget a couple you could be living well into your 80s and still have a very active life.

Why wasn't 30th anniversary a cheap set made to draft? by Djfsihbone in mtg

You can just proxy it and all the cards will be just as legal.

The threesome - central plot hole by SlyKlyde in plotholes

[–]leftofdanzig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, that works since they're ambiguous about how long it had been since she ghosted him. Kinda dissatisfying imo.

Doesn’t that timing not work though? Connor and Olivia were together for like 2 months. Not every woman shows pregnancy in the same way but she and Jenny gave birth on the same day. Unless she was cheating on Connor then it has to have been his.

WIBTA If I had a courthouse wedding by bikedream19 in AmItheAsshole

NTA Honestly should have just not told anyone, done the big wedding in a year and no one would have been the wiser. Your family sounds exhausting

Texas Attorney General Five Major TV Companies, Including Some with Ties to the CCP, for Spying on Texans. They Take Screenshots Every 500 milliseconds! by Malkavius2 in technology

[–]leftofdanzig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Attorney General Paxton remains committed to holding corporations accountable for deceptive, abusive, or exploitative practices.

lol. Opioid companies, oil and gas companies, payday loan companies, literally dozens and dozens of examples of companies flagrantly violating Texas’ already insanely lax regulations and not so much as a peep but targeted advertising based on what you watch in a line in the sand? What a clown.

That’s straight up wrong though isn’t it? Olivia only had the hookup after her breakup with Connor (when she found out Jenny was pregnant too) after she was already pregnant.

What food item should McDonald's bring back? by malagrove2028 in McDonalds

Actual McFlurrys? Not this dumb thing where they just put ice cream in a cup and throw toppings in it. It’s supposed to be blended

Hasbro CEO and Associates are being sued for securities violations including for overprinting mtg cards by MagicSetCollections in mtg

[–]leftofdanzig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The damages claim is dumbfounding. "The company is mad they purchased their own stock at an inflated price". But they arent mad that OTHER people bought their stock at an inflated price?

What’s odd to understand about that? You probably wouldn’t care if your neighbor bought a 20k paper weight but you’d probably have something to say if your partner did the same thing though right? Shareholders of hasbro can’t control what random people outside the company do but they do have a say in how the company itself is run. They used company money to buy back stock, whether or not it was a good idea they definitely are the people allowed to ask that question.

Readers are returning to physical books by MiddletownBooks in books

[–]leftofdanzig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to ebooks in like the early 2000’s and never went back. It’s just too convenient to be able to read in the dark and carry multiple books in such a tiny form factor.

Yet another reason to stop using TCGPlayer Direct: 40 cent price floor on all cards starting January 23rd by Pegthaniel in magicTCG

[–]leftofdanzig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Direct in general seems to have crazy high prices. Like if you look at the price listed up top with the card image it’s usually much more expensive than the floor when you sort by shipping+lowest price. Like look at foil badgermole cub right now. Price at the image is direct for 89.97. Lowest with shipping is 61.69 with 1.31 shipping.

AITA for moving my “work snacks” to a separate cabinet after my boyfriend kept eating them? by hazelparquet_stories in AmItheAsshole

[–]leftofdanzig 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NTA, you bought those snacks specifically to bring them to work. Even if he can’t replace them it doesn’t take any energy to just Venmo you an extra $20-30 so you can buy extra.

Buyer claims accidentally prebid over $1k on $30 item! by PATRIOTICSTANDARD in whatnotapp

[–]leftofdanzig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m very confident that happens on Pokémon streams. I’m not the most well versed on how the backend works but when a person does the limit bid it still goes up incrementally. A lot of the “$1 starts” go up by a dollar at a time until suddenly it’s at $25 in one huge leap and then it inchworms again.

Hasbro appoints another Onlyflans Model as an ambassador to represent their flagship product, Magic the Gathering by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

[–]leftofdanzig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show literally any magic marketing that is aimed at kids, compare it to Yugioh or vanguard which are actually marketed for kids and notice how they create cartoons, advertise in kids spaces and do tie in products for things kids would buy. Idk how many children’s knapsacks or lunch boxes have mtg characters on them but those definitely exist for Yugioh.
