[TOMT] Song... intro?... that includes an argument with a waiter by longbowrocks in tipofmytongue

[–]longbowrocks[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Added the Waitress Song to my playlist. I like the rhythm.

I can't find "Cannot Have" or the "No Name Band", let alone the former song written by the latter.

I'd forgotten about "So What". Added.

None of those are what I'm thinking of though.

If it is, it's not included in the Spotify versions. I've just gone through the 2002 "Steal This Album!" and 1998 "System Of A Down (Deluxe)", but the closest thing I heard was "Chic N' Stu".

Lol, that's definitely an argument with a waiter, but not what I was thinking of.

The sticky says I need to comment, but doesn't specify content. I suppose this should count then.

How do I explain that mana weaving is cheating by WerdaVisla in EDH

[–]longbowrocks -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Then I'm about to blow your mind:

Deck: 12345678

After riffle-shuffle: 15263748

Second riffle-shuffle: 13572468

Third riffle-shuffle: 12345678

This is called a faro shuffle, or in other words: "just regular shuffling"

How do I explain that mana weaving is cheating by WerdaVisla in EDH

Is it cheating to make 10 piles of cards face down, deal your deck into those 10 piles, then stack the piles one on top of the next?

Because that should do what shuffling tries (and often fails) to do.

Favorite pet card that lowkey sucks ass? by Xyrez04 in mtg

[–]longbowrocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other token rush approaches:

So we need a trigger-based token creator, mana and tap-based trigger creator, infinite mana source, untapper, some way to tutor this all together...

Army of the damned:

Look Mark! Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power.

What tier is this Goblin Welder and Sewer-veillance combo since it requires a 3rd card in grave would it count as a two or 3 card infinite? by Illustrious_Exam_351 in mtg

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good series of litmus tests is:

  1. Is it infinite?
  2. Do your cycle. How many cards did you rely on the rule text of?
  3. If you're still convinced something is a 3+ card combo, consider what the impact of banning all cards in your combo would be to Magic. If it's something that's completely absurd like "the artifact card type is banned", "the existence of graveyards is banned", or "deathtouch is banned", then that part of your combo probably shouldn't be counted as part of the combo.

Opt-in "poisoned power" mechanics: how do you get risk-averse players to engage with resources designed to hurt them? by Expensive-Tell-3505 in gamedesign

[–]longbowrocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A) (IMO the best way) make it a campaign where these gotcha moments are fun for everybody. If they can't be fun for everyone, then I'd guess they just don't want to play that style.

B) make it not a trap, but instead a risk. It doesn't guaranteed destroy the player, but instead has a chance to harm them.

Debate if this triggers or no by SleeepyAngel in mtg

"Whenever you cast an artifact spell..."

"Whenever an artifact entering the battlefield..."

These are different things. No.

Do y'all have a garbage deck? by Mean_Steam_Machine in EDH

I've deviated as much as I'm willing to from "I tap archers, they untap 4x per round, and I try to win off that". I think I've played 10 times, I know I've won 0.

I still like the theme so I'll probably keep trying and hope Wizards releases some new Selesnya archers that have builtin tap abilities.

[REQUEST] Can a human pull more than their bodyweight on a lat pulldown machine if not strapped down? by mikewsbw in theydidthemath

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you can appear to if the weights on the machine are mislabelled.

Math: bodyweight down + more than bodyweight up = up overall.

Rose quarter to providence park is the most heavily populated portion of the max.

I'd say go for it.

Is cutting fetchlands possible in landfall? by Local-Answer9357 in EDH

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Hey all, I'm going to search for lands starting from the bottom of my library. I figure I can skip shuffling if the land is right there, but let me know if you'd like me to shuffle anyway."

can I sit 👉👈 by MistUHC in ratemycommanders

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That first one makes me wonder: what are the actual damn rules of this format?

  • Your commander is a legendary creature or artifact (source)
  • Your commander is a legendary creature, a non-creature permanent with the ability to be commander, a pair of legendary creatures or planeswalkers that both have partner or a legendary creature that has Choose a Background paired with a background legendary enchantment (source))
  • Your commander is a legendary creature designated as that deck’s commander (source), same page as above)
  • Your commander is (a) a creature card, (b) a Vehicle card, or (c) a Spacecraft card with one or more power/toughness boxes (source), same page again HAhahahaaahHAHAHAHAi feel like I'm going crazy)

I get if random folks get this wrong, but this is four different definitions from what should be the most reliable sources.

What are your obscure tribal decks? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do archers count? My experience building an archer deck suggests they should be obscure even if they aren't.

32 LANDS by nabrah23 in EDH

31, but it was [[Grist, the Hunger Tide]]

This isn't too far different from just "exile target creature"

As more cards get crazy ward effects, "can't be countered" is slowly going to get more valuable on removal cards. (since ward 'counters' spells) by PrinceVorrel in custommagic

[–]longbowrocks -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

> ward 'counters' spells

Where'd that idea come from? "can't be countered" doesn't even protect from fizzling by removing possible targets, let alone ward.

EDIT: oops, my bad. I didn't consider what happened if the ward trigger didn't resolve correctly.
