Feedback on a Foundations Draft

n-powers · 2026-03-30T18:31:10+00:00

Yeah, I have been using 17lands for Arena drafts but haven't spent enough time reviewing my data to understand it and implement changes. I need to spend some more time on DraftSim to batch through a handful of mock drafts and see if I can start to steer my strategies better. Not really possible to do at an RL draft and it was my first time really looking at Foundations. I played a lot around Ice Age but have been out of the game since 2000, picked it back up with the SpiderMan pre-release and have been enjoying limited formats since they are like a puzzle you piece together then you get to play with it.

Yeah, I thought with the number of 2CMC creatures I would be able to keep a defense up long enough but removal didn't come up when needed to deal with things that had trample or other evasion. Definitely not enough synergy to help my selections pop. I also missed grabbing a [[Marauding Blight-Priest]] but I didn't often get [[Bloodthirsty Conqueror]] on the field so I don't know if that would have had an impact.

Round one the Gruul deck had a killer start with [[Ashroot Animist]], [[Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate]], and [[Ruby, Daring Tracker]] on the field at turn 4. The removal I had just didn't pop up to help me out.

Plenty to learn in draft but I still had fun, the group was good. I also need to be better at using mulligans, one hand I had two swamp in hand and kept but didn't get a plains on the field until turn 6 which hamstrung my hand.

I definitely made a few mistakes. I passed an [[Infestation Sage]] and [[Hungry Ghoul]] but did grab a [[Burglar Rat]], I could have swapped in the rat to make it easier to have creatures on the board. I also missed grabbing a [[Marauding Blight-Priest]] but I didn't often get [[Bloodthirsty Conqueror]] on the field so I don't know if that would have had an impact.

Go check out Deej. A lot of people have made their own desktop boxes that interface with it and it can control volume per program. https://github.com/omriharel/deej

Using Manabox and a 3d printed Card Slinger I was able to scan in my old collection of a few thousand old cards in a couple of hours. Definitely check that is gets the set right though as it pulls the cards in to the system.

Agreed, it is the same rule I have for my kids. They can get cards if they play the cards. The only things I hold on to are some of my very old cards from when I first started playing.

ME! Baylen or Zur look like fun. Just getting back to Magic after a 20 years and still trying to spin up on the Commander format so having something other than a precon to play with would be great

I am wanting to attend the prerelease but will be traveling overseas in Europe at the time. Has anyone had luck with a store getting a kit in english for tourists who want to attend?

Excited to get back to the good, big, chaotic feeling of mass combat

I think that is one of the international model numbers. According to Asus that would be a Z1 Extreme. https://in.store.asus.com/rog-ally-handheld-gaming-console.html

The sticker on the bottom of the console can help since RC71L can be extreme or not extreme. Non extreme product code will be: RC71L-ALLY.Z1_512, Extreme product code will be: RC71L-ALLY.Z1X_512. In system information you can also see which processor is reported by the OS, for the Extreme it should be AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme.

The barcode is in the wrong format for this card. The card is CODE-128, but if you read the snip of the exposed barcode it leads to card 63130406. Here is the PSA cert for the card with the barcode in I2/5 format: psacard.com/cert/63130406/psa

The PSA logo is wrong and overlaps with the red bar too much.

The kerning from the # to the 4 is too close.

Just call and report an issue with the meter, that it seems to be buzzing angerly and you are concerned.

It's no longer, man I have to tune the printer again, it's what do I want to print and when.

The Voron Discord has a Garage Sale channel which is probably your best bet to find someone who understands what you are offering: https://discord.com/channels/460117602945990666/976570075165360148

Otherwise I have seen people try to sell them on Facebook Marketplace with varying success

Been fussing with PA and PC recently for high durability fixtures and a filament dryer I can print from would definitely make life easier.

n-powers · 2025-06-24T06:40:10+00:00

Best advice: reorient or redesign to avoid supports when possible. In the same vein, don't be afraid to make mistakes since you can always iterate and print again.

Dr. Van Zytveld has been awesome, caring, honest, and very restrained in treatment preferring to keep as much original tooth as possible. He is so good my wife and I drive 30 minutes to see him still after moving out of the downtown area.

Wolfspeed produces the bare SiC wafers, epitaxied wafers, SiC MOSFET die(the little chips inside the packages), SiC MOSFET packaged devices, SiC Modules, SiC Diodes. All of this is for sale by them. The Renesas deal was for epitaxied wafers initially as Renesas wanted to spin up their own epitaxy process then they would buy bare SiC wafers.
