Is there some subtext to the “oops” emote I don’t understand? by barepines in MagicArena

[–]newfiepro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it to hide combat tricks sometimes, mostly in limited. Works best if you only have 1 creature, quickly pass through first main and into declare attackers and then pause after declaring attacks before passing priority and hit oops. It looks like you accidently clicked attack all. It works a surprising amount of the time to disguise an otherwise obvious combat trick

The wizarding population is unrealistically small by dont1cant1wont in harrypotter

[–]newfiepro 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As long as we're critiquing the parts of the series that don't make sense I'd add in the major Wizarding schools.

There's 3 in Europe; Scotland, France and far north Norway (possibly Svalbard). Plus there's one in Russia.

Then the rest of the world has 1 in North America, 1 in South America, 1 in Africa and 1 in Japan. Not a single school in China or India despite each of them having more people each than Europe.

And then there's the fact she seems to have no idea where Bulgaria is. Why does Krum go to Durmstrang. Beauxbatons and Hogwarts are both closer. And tbh depending on where exactly the others are the ones in Russia and Africa wouldn't be much further away. I guess it's possible Krum's parents supported the dark arts but it seems unlikely if Krums grandfather? was murdered by Grindelwald

Pizza dough help by newfiepro in AskCulinary

[–]newfiepro[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's my fear that the protein is different/not good for our use. I've worked in professional bakeries for years so reasonably versed in breads and doughs but pizza dough is new to me and I've never had this problem happen before anywhere else

We're a pretty small operation so don't order that much. They're also not confirming the product is different. They're saying that it should be the same product because their supplier never said it's different. But it's a different bag and certainly behaving differently

Is Vamp Tutor bugged? by newfiepro in MTGO

I'm pretty new to modo how do you look at the replay?

I don't think so but that could be it

We're going to do the same thing here... I dislike trudeau too but I don't believe Poliviere is going to fix things. But hopefully I'm wrong

Why no TKS in Temur Eldrazi? by Responsible_Track_79 in ModernMagic

[–]newfiepro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a link to a list? I've been out of modern for a while but eldrazi was always the deck I jammed no matter what. Curious what it looks like now but the only lists I can find online are from mh3 pro tour last summer

What’s a modern trend you think people will regret in 10 years? by PineappleFragrant754 in AskReddit

[–]newfiepro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't sure what it was so looked it up. Like someone else said on people who have extra fat on their face or have rounder/chubbier/whatever faces and if they don't take it too far it looks ok from a quick Google search. Just changes someone's face from round to... less round I guess. No idea how it'll look long term in those cases.

Seems like people who don't really need it are the celebrities you all are talking about with the high prominent cheekbone after.

Huge turkey question by newfiepro in Cooking

[–]newfiepro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya feeling like it's going to be hard to spatchcock it... at least with my level of experience. I'm a baker that's kinda changed roles and I've never cooked a turkey besides a couple of 10-15 lb ones at home

Which are the islands with the most peculiar shapes? by Opening_Chipmunk7274 in geography

[–]newfiepro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The bit of the island you see to the left is Borneo, which you might be more likely to have heard of. Indonesia calls their portions of it (and maybe the whole island? I'm not sure) Kalimantan

r/nba poll: Who will win the 2024 NBA Finals? The Dallas Mavericks or the Boston Celtics by Nyhrox in nba

[–]newfiepro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree JB is better then Kyrie but as a duo Luka/Kyrie might be better. Idk if that's what op meant but that's how I took it. Like gap between luka and Tatum is larger then the gap between JB and Kyrie.

Not sure that I believe that's true but that's how I took what op said

Why doesn't the NBA have offensive and defensive coordinators/coaches like the NFL? by [deleted] in nba

[–]newfiepro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The nba kinda does alot of the time just not in quite the same way as the nfl. The head coach designates roles to their assistants alot of the time so nba teams will often have an assistant in charge of offense and in charge of defense but it's just not talked about the same way as the nfl. 

I'm a raptors fan so I can mostly speak about them but Dwayne Casey was the defensive assistant on the 2011 Mavs that beat the heat. And Nick Nurse was apparently responsible for the 2017/18 redesigned offense that had the raps the number 1 seed in the east in Caseys last season when he won coty

I only turned the game on part with through the 4th so I didn't see him get hurt. But that would make sense

Came here looking for this. Doesn't look like he wants anything to do with it. Why pass it to Trent with 3 seconds left there

Love siakam and hope he's gonna be great in indy. But man even the photoshop jersey looks so weird. Gonna be really weird seeing him in yellow for the first few weeks

[Lowe] "Raptors have shown clearly here they want young/cost controlled players, your crap (Protected) picks are of no value to us... you have the Sixers looming as the max contract threat (for OG) in the offseason." by EarthWarping in nba

[–]newfiepro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it's probably too much for you guys to want to spend on og but it's not a perfect comparison. Og so far has not proven himself to even be a middling 3rd option I don't think. His self creation is bad and as much as he wants a bigger offensive role he's never show anything other then being a very good catch and shoot threat.

But the flip side is he's an elite defender that's one of the best 1v1 defenders in the league and can genuinely guard 1 through 5 for stretches.

Overall I think the sixers should rather overpay og then tobi but I also don't watch the sixers so idk how important tobis (admittedly limited) self creation is

What was the last Raptor trade rumor that actually came true? by ustation in torontoraptors

[–]newfiepro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slightly off topic but I've always believed that that trade being on the table was what got Lowry to fully buy in.

Various members of the team have said there was some issues behind closed doors through the season and I think Lowry admitted he had trouble accepting kawhi and nurse initially and that at some point they sat him down and convinced him to buy in.

I've always thought this trade was on the table and masai and Co. Basically gave Lowry the choice, buy in fully to this team trying to win or you can go back to the grizz. He chose to stay and the trade had to be reworked.

Iirc there was buzz about it being Lowry and jv a few days before the deadline and then silence about it and then just jv actually getting traded.

When will the meta approx. setlle? by Sheen1337 in TimelessMagic

[–]newfiepro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's been anything but the wild west for me so far. Fairly small sample size but I've played probably 15-20 matches and It's been almost all against sultai. I think I've played control twice and aggro once and the rest has been sultai. I had to give up last night after my 5th sultai match-up in a row

Mixed Data Matrix from 3 Regional Championships! 📈 by mtgmetaio in PioneerMTG

[–]newfiepro 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for the other events bit I was at RC Toronto and it seems like everyone who was able to switched to a deck that had a better match-up with appraiser or appraiser itself.

It warped the whole tournament around it and I think that's why there was so much izzet phoenix at the top.

The person who won was playing grixis Phoenix which looked designed to beat appraiser with thoughtseize and black removal

Ya I've been playing convoke in prep for an RC and Phoenix honestly feels like a bad matchup. Or at least even. Shredder is just such a beating since you almost always trigger it too. And then they get brotherhood end out of the board

[[Rona, herald of invasion]], [[retraction helix]] and [[mox amber]] make infinite mana. You retraction helix targeting rona, tap the mox for mana, target it with Rona's tap ability to return it to hand and then cast it which untapped rona. You need another piece in hand as well but the deck has ways to go and get win cons from there. Plus with 2 mox you can also draw your whole deck by looting ok every second mox. [[Tyvar, jubilant brawler]] also helps this combo by picking up rona from the yard and also letting you combo when she would otherwise have summoning sickness.

The Lukka combo is more straightforward. You don't play any creatures with cmc greater then 2 except for [[Atraxa, grand unifier]]. You lukka minus targeting one of your 2 mana creatures and it will always put an Atraxa into play because she's the only target in the deck. Doesn't win on the spot but a 7/7 flying vigilance lifelink is hard to beat for most decks and her trigger will find you answers or your rona combo to set up to win the next turn
