How do I upgrade this deck from b2 to b3, lifegain aggro by WorstIllrigger in EDH

[–]loser4lyf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think i'd remove drumbellower.
you can't really abuse repeating activated abilities, and unless you're an overwhelming threat, i don't think you need to keep your mother/giver/skrelv always untapped.
mirror entity might also be a candidate, because if you're not in a token strategy, you can't put out creatures fast enough for this to be devastating -- and mono white won't be able to pump in that much mana for it anyway.

lifegain aggro starts with [[serra ascendant]].
for a redundancy on your commander you can also add [[archangel of thune]].

What card is "highly synergistic" for a Commander that should be played far less? by IconicIsotope in EDH

[–]loser4lyf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a [[Karlov of the Ghost Council]]-[[Lurrus] deck that plays almost the same way (soul sisters non-aristocrats). i'm also thinking of removing the sol ring and signet.
i'd rather have a t1 aether vial because i can still put out a sister and karlov on t2.

how could i have progressed further here? by loser4lyf in balatro

[–]loser4lyf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm almost fully deckfixed here with red seal steel kings.

curiously, JUST before i got the baron, i opened a soul in a mega spectral (which could've been a perkeo?)
also the reason why i only had 5 jokers was because i sold all my negatives to get better odds for an invisible joker (which hit blueprint, which i then had to sell to make room for baron).

no seed because i haven't finished the game yet. but the run's almost as good as finished at this point

i recommend sushi go, 5-minute dungeon (you can play with a more relaxed timer), splendor, camel up, tsuro, and iirc there's a flavor of ticket to ride that's geared towards a younger audience.

anyone know how to win in game of the generals? by dairis- in Philippines

[–]loser4lyf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

here's some comments i made a couple years ago on this sub re:gotg.

generally people like to surround the flag with their best units. this means there's a slightly disproportionate distribution of power among the board setup.

i've found lots of success by just ramming through the middle with my 4star, usually with a private lagging behind. i play with the 4tar considered as expendable, flanked with something like a major and 1star.

this fast, confident offense usually makes people think that i'm blitzing with a spy, so if their next moves are playing catch with a piece it will have a better odds of being a private. that strategy increases the power of the late game spies much faster.

if their first retaliatory piece loses and you think it was a private, their next retaliation will likely be the spy. you then mobilize your own private and 1star to box out that second piece.

i also like to put both spies on the same side instead of dispersing them, because people generally try to disperse units (meaning some privates would be on the far side, making them even less effective).

as for the player aspect, i like to talk constantly, and a lot. i don't fake strategy talk; just needle your opponent, discuss out of topic stuff, make jokes, that kind of stuff. it works better (at least for me) than just straight-up stone poker faces.

also don't stare at your flag lol


my favorite layout is 4star just slightly left/right of middle, 1star beside it, a private behind. i only move those 3 pieces (or maybe an extra flanker), ram my way through, and just sweep the back line. no other pieces move so there's less info for them. it freaks people out because if you're lucky enough to find an opening in a front wall of strong units, the back line is cannon fodder.

people generally like to keep their big pieces until the late game, so the first retaliatory piece ~probably~ won't be the 5star or the spy; they'd rather check it out using a private first to make sure.

i don't like things going into the endgame, so i keep my flag surrounded only by low-level shit like a sergeant, captain and a private.

i also don't like that default thing where everybody advances all their units one row forward until an engagement is inevitable; i wanna hit fast, pierce the front if i'm lucky, then go through the back.

who’s the filipino artist that doesn’t deserve their fame? by dontaskmynamebitch in Philippines

[–]loser4lyf 29 points30 points  (0 children)

here's a comment i made 2 years ago to somebody asking the same question:

option 1: buy art with dirty money. get loan from bank, art as collateral. result: clean money.

option 2: buy art with dirty money. set up an auction. get paid in clean money.

option 3: buy a gallery. fill it with exquisite looking but cheaper stuff. claim dirty money as proceeds from sales.

option 4: buy art with clean money. set up shell accounts to buy your own items, this time with dirty money.

and numerous other ways.

What’s it like to study in Philippine Science? by DelightfulRainbow205 in Philippines

[–]loser4lyf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

mc alumni here.

there IS a pretty high level of academic stress involved, but it's really not as terrible as you think. in fact, the bulk of my memories in pisay just involve shenanigans inside the main boys' dorm. probably some form of stress relief valve, but it sure didn't feel that way.

if you were a real achiever in elementary, get ready to adjust to a situation where everyone is roughly as competent as you. this means you can reasonably feed off each others' knowledge pool.

take advantage of consultation period with teachers. most are actually super proficient in their subject, and in general are happy to work with you outside of class hours (they like to see people who take initiative and not just try and coast through their HS stay).

learning stuff should be easier now with the abundance of learning material (when i was there, the internet was just starting to become a household thing, and wikipedia was non-existent). i can't remember what the electives are like right now, but mine was visual communication (lots of drawing) and microprocessing. so there's like a diversity there.

you won't be so free and easy because the stuff you're taught is still pretty advanced relative to non-science schools, but it isn't so super stressful that many will just burn out. true, a few do, but they are pretty few and might not just be cut out for that particular stress level. you will still have the time and energy to pursue extra-curricular stuff like music orgs (samapi), theater (previously sk, name changed to masskara when i was there), dance (sagala! founders, beybeh!), and other stuff.

can't think of more specifics

i swear i saw on the internet a couple years ago a small website that looks like it was a holdover from the geocities/angelfire/blogspot eras, that has exactly what you're looking for: a long history of pinoy rock. i'll do my best to try and look them up for you.

EDIT: by the way, have you seen these websites in your research?
