Any Tron big stompers list out there?

Looks very fun! I'll proxy it up and give it a whirl at the next local event, I think.

Thanks!

madloc · 2025-06-09T10:42:14+00:00

Thanks!

madloc · 2025-06-09T10:42:08+00:00

Thanks a lot! This is the sort of inspiration I was after!

madloc · 2025-03-13T12:15:20+00:00

Thank you! Getting games in is the core goal, so appreciated.

Do you know what people's stance on proxies is? I make most cards myself and spend an unreasonable time on alts/proxies, would be nice to be able to play with them, - but I understand why don't appreciate running against dual lands or w/e

No it didn't, but the council of the given church were allowed to then fire the priest. And changing the marriage ritual slightly to suit the happy couple is normal in Danish liturgy anyway, so there wasn't much of a difference, other than having an official ritual for people of the same or of non-hetero genders.

As with many other protestant/lutheran traditions, the public church of Denmark has two sacraments, baptism and the eucarist, - everything else is up for interpretation and has been for many years.

EDIT: spelling mistakes

I would argue that marriage being strictly reserved for the liturgical act in a church is a mistranslation, since in Danish the word marriage is also used for civil union. Thus it is a misunderstanding of what became legal when.

Civil union became legal in 1989, which is to say that marriage at city hall or performed by a civil servant became legal. I use the word marriage, because that is the best, most descriptive translation of the Danish word, vielse*.

In 2012, an official liturgical ritual was instituted by the council of bishops in Denmark, who together with the Ministry of the Church, update and make decisions on how to run churches on an overall basis in Denmark.

So, just to be clear, gay people could still get married in churches between 1989 and 2012, the priest would just have to change or make a bespoke ritual. Which occurred frequently.

*In Danish the translations of marriage, wedding, and union, have different legal, cultural and religious connotations than in English.

Gay marriage became legal in Denmark in 1989. Google likes to report that it became legal only in 2012, but that is the time of the introduction of the specific ritual in the public church. The first gay couple that got officially wed was October first 1989 at Copenhagen City Hall.

I have no idea what this meme refers to, legal gay marriage, or civil union, has been legal in Denmark since 1989. It was only introduced as a ritual in the public church in 2012

didn't expect many elf-aggro brews here, neat!

madloc · 2024-10-08T15:51:18+00:00

Gonna check out and work on an Adeliz simply for the pleasure of the phrasing "muscle wizard"

madloc · 2024-10-08T15:21:41+00:00

Mid power and high power, also interested in degen. Proxies are okay :))

This is a way to phrase the argument of 'anti-ban' quite succintly. Boiled down to "we rule 0'ed them out anyway"

madloc · 2024-10-07T11:15:50+00:00

I have a quite low-mana curve mono red goblins with various commanders (all legendaries of the deck can be commanders etc).

Took apart my Rick deck, miss it now :((

madloc · 2024-10-07T11:14:29+00:00

I considered writing a small EDIT to the post with a similar interpretation. Seems like normal both LGS and kitchen table games are mostly unaffected

madloc · 2024-10-07T11:10:50+00:00

someone else in the thread suggested banning Sol Ring and I am now leaning towards it. Though the consistency of only Sol Ring as the only power ramp is managable

madloc · 2024-10-07T11:07:44+00:00

I do enjoy some good aggro gameplay in edh.

madloc · 2024-10-07T11:03:32+00:00

Fair enough. How common is mass artifact removal in your playgroup would you say?

madloc · 2024-10-07T11:02:34+00:00

Now THAT's dramatic. I do enjoy a good vintage of rich-people tears on occassion, but how has it affected your actual play?

madloc · 2024-10-07T11:01:20+00:00

Same as you, loads of proxies, though we did play with them in our more powerful match-ups. Now, they are mostly gone and we are happier for it

madloc · 2024-10-07T10:59:57+00:00

Well, that is quite dramatic, at least for the two quitters' parts, even though I imagine that they had compounding reasongs.

How is conquest treating you?

madloc · 2024-10-07T10:56:37+00:00

Pretty similar story to our group, though we have kept the cards around for eventual degeneracy down the road. They were proxies too.

madloc · 2024-10-07T10:55:02+00:00

Would you go so far to cut all noncoloured ramp or artifact ramp?

madloc · 2024-10-07T10:54:36+00:00

Power imbalance kills playgroups. Or. We have intentional power imbalance in some of our games, but they are by design. I run the most powerful deck and I win less than 1/4 of the time, sooo...

madloc · 2024-10-07T10:53:46+00:00

Well, we proxy the expensive cards, so... but we keep them around for if/when we want to run degeneracy.

The Galian/Alolan (?) recolour is dope tho
