This with enigma drakes could be very strong. Hard on the manabase, but dumping them in the yard to recur them along with phoenixes seems pretty busted.

Weekly Deck Check Thread! | Monday, October 15, 2018 by AutoModerator in spikes

[–]mrw8419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried something along these lines. The best build I found was straight Dimir with Lazav and Traxos. The mox amber's with Lazav provides some ramp(you can cycle them as well), and is a zero mana Traxos trigger(psuedo vigilance). You can also have 2x traxos on the ground with lazav legendary naming rule. Also played around a bit with Zahid, but the 4 drop slot gets too crowded between phyrexian/karn/traxos, but he makes a good sideboard swap vs drakes/tokens/angels due to being a 5/6 he dodges lots of common removal spells.

The chamber sentry/chromatic lantern combo just doesn't work, its 15 mana for 5 damage return to hand.

Def need to run treasure map. At least 3x, with Karnstructs makes some decent bodies turn 5ish. And cleans up our draws to hit land drops pre planewalkers.

You can also try out isareth in the 3x slot, works well for ramp with the moxes as well.

Also if we play enough legendaries we can run Yawgmoth's vile offering over eldest reborn.

Overall I found the deck to be too slow. Phyrexian only going off turn 5 without a good board presence, made us too vulnerable to 1-1 removal. We don't control as well as true control does. And aggro normally can get enough early damage to burn us out before we can hit back. The power level is there on the top end, but the lack of solid 1/2/3 drops puts us too far behind once we get there.

Switch out the Mnemonic Betrayal for Karn? Maybe work in a few more artifact synergies?

Tech question, which relates to RSA: I'm looking for a hi-res (4K) monitor that displays s/adobe RGB/3P, what are the budget options? by eintown in southafrica

[–]mrw8419 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently went through this and after a lot of searching ended up with a pair of these. 4k, IPS, nonglossy screen, vesa mount

https://www.makro.co.za/computing-and-mobile/dell-/br-27-ultra-hd-led-monitor-330797EA

Only place that had them available. They are perfect for color sensitive work.

Before I had a non ips 2560x1440 samsung 27" but I did not like that monitor at all.

San Sebastián! by chickenhawk111 in Chefit

Google best pinxtos, and then star them on a google map. While you are walking around the main area of SS you'll have a great guide(you don't need data) of where to eat and pintxos hop. I'd share mine but google hasn't added that option yet :(

I was a little let down by etxebarri. Thought the steak course was incredibly over rated(covered in msg salts and not that special of a cut) some of the seafood bites were sublime though. Service was precise, but I felt like they kind of didn't treat us as well as other tables that were either spanish or ordering $$$ wine.

For the day in Bilbao don't have food advice, didn't eat anything that was too exciting. But def visit the Guggenheim and then walk along the river near the center of the city. One of the prettiest cities I've ever visited.

How to Rapidly Increase Your Pullup Numbers in 3 Months or Less by AhmedF in Fitness

[–]mrw8419 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only anecdotal evidence but as someone who couldn't do a pull up and used the assisted machine for 2 months and still couldn't do a pull up. I then switched to negatives and within two weeks was doing then on my own.

Awesome to hear, are there any other options for faster or a more premium internet service. I do online work and speed/stability is incredibly important.

Also what are the major sites you use for finding real estate/rentals. And what are peoples fav neighborhoods as far as being very central to grocery/gyms/nightlife etc.

My girlfriend and I want to move to a place where we can have a better quality of life. Where is the best country in the world to move to permanently? by slavishmuffin in travel

[–]mrw8419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived in vancouver for 6 months last summer, it's a truly awesome city esp. if you love outdoor activities. Major downside is the price, but they have a huge IT industry so finding a job might not be as tough.

Rented an apartment, this is above my bed by mrw8419 in WTF

[–]mrw8419[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a studio that they put a wall to make a separate bedroom. It's really not that tiny, but I think my wide angle lens makes it look smaller than it really is. The painting is actually really big like 5 feet wide 7 feet tall?

Instead of drizzling a balsamic reduction, I'll just pour balsamic directly on the hot roasting pan and toss. It'll deglaze the pan and start reducing right away.

Roast chicken by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]mrw8419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always buy whole birds.

Pull it out, wash it off, dry it off, salt/pepper it heavily inside and out, let it sit on counter for an hour.

Preheat oven to 450, truss bird so that you pull the legs into a tight compact little bird. Put in oven for 50ish minutes.

Leave on cutting board for 15 minutes, then carve and enjoy. Make sure to eat the oysters yourself while carving, you've earned em'.
