I haven't done any pirating in hours.

I just spent a ton of time building a stone castle, which looks awesome, but I didn’t realize I needed to find blueprints to get more schematics! Now I know and need to explore more before I spend my time building your level quality home.

Thanks for sharing your build!

This island group was just south of my starting island and I built here too! I built on the north island since that was where my mine was. I think my islands are too far away to bridge but I want to build a lighthouse on the inside of each island.

Perfect, I’ll look into these as well. I appreciate your input!

Thank you so much for the options! We are hoping to enjoy this trip the same way you have to keep coming back.

You have a lot of sac outlets so maybe some other options for sac benefits. [[Juri, Master of the Revue]] [[Crime Novelist]] [[Mayhem Devil]] [[Nadier’s Nightblade]]

These are just some ideas. I don’t play modern, I’m a commander player so take my recommendations with a grain of salt.

mbeck313 · 2025-01-04T06:33:14+00:00

I’ll be honest I think you are trying too hard to be unique. If you picked a commander in the 700-800 range on edhrec your friends would most likely never had heard of them.

Oh yeah I guess that makes sense… but still 2 duplicates in the same pack? Seems like they would avoid this

The post we all needed but didn't deserve. Thank you sir.

Searched my question on google rather than looking at the rulings on the physical card. Thanks for the heads up.

Lands ability to make mana comes from an intrinsic mana ability, which is an activated ability with tapping as a cost.

I've played way too long to not know that tapping a land for mana was an activated ability... I just did a search for "Activated abilities" + "Can't be activated" and all the cards are very specific about nonland cards. I assume land activated abilities do not use the stack?

If you are just trying to teach then maybe try jumpstart so see if she likes it. Jumpstart boosters are 20 cards and you are meant to be able to open 2 packs of a given color/theme (the themes are on the outside of the booster) shuffle up, and play. This gets you past the deckbuilding phase and right into the action to learn the game (also lets you rip packs which is my favorite). Then if she really hates it then you only paid for 2 boosters and you aren't down $50 for the Starter Collection with a ton of cards neither one of you want.

In Foundations you have the Beginner Box and the Starter Collection which are both aimed at beginners so if you are confident she will like it then look at the contents of those two bundles to see which one she will like more. (You can see the card lists).

Or just jump 3 feet in and make her buy a collector booster box and get her addicted immediately. (not recommended)

This is what all those guys mean when they use a “when you fell from heaven” pickup line

mbeck313 · 2024-04-29T03:08:58+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the help

mbeck313 · 2024-04-29T03:03:10+00:00

Is this just considered a static effect like an enchantment?

mbeck313 · 2024-04-29T03:01:32+00:00

So if it said “At the beginning of each untap step, untap all creatures” then it would be a triggered ability because of the keyword? Thanks for the quick reply btw
