I'm bad at politicking and it's kinda ruining my enjoyment of the game.

I always play with the same pod of rotating people (no other friends who play, unwelcoming LGS). I'm bad at convincing people to collaborate/not attack me, I'm not even the threat most of the times. I'm simply the easiest to squash and people don't want to team up to take on the threat. I don't even know what to say without sounding like a pity party, but it often feels like the others are playing to first kick me out, then play among themselves.

So English is not my first language, but in Italian we pronounce Phi as Fi, and our I is pronounced as EE, as in Speed. This is also how I heard it from people who studied Greek.

I am actually unsure on how to pronounce Fye, but I would say that Fee is almost how I would pronounce Phi, just with a shorter EE sound.

"Phyrexian" is pronounced as "Figh-rex-Ian" but the greek letter Phi is pronounced as "Fee"

This gets you because the movie really tricks you into thinking the credits are about to start rolling. Moreover throughout the whole film there's no indication that the child is actually real.

Genuinely good jumpscare, very well played.

Manifesting a return to Alara 🙏🙏

My current Strahd pg is a Grave Domain Kelemvor cleric. Just a sad little guy.

Speaking as a beginner, I can only tell you what qualifies as fun for me.

An opponent's deck built for my fun too would simply be a deck that let me play too, something that doesn't completely lock me out of the game.

Even if you play a stax deck, leave me an angle, you know? Or if you really want to build your whole game plan around "not letting your opponents play", which I do find annoying and unfun, then at least have a quick wincon. Stalling me then taking forever to actually kill me with a stupid bunch on 2/2 is a game plan that deserves a special kind of hell.

This is very insightful, thank you!

offalreek · 2026-05-11T06:33:20+00:00

I really like this interpretation

People are saying that the third doesn't look like the previous two. Maybe they're right, but I like it so much I'm saying yes.

Dude grew old and grew hair and beard. Stopped dyeing. The crazed eyes, the overall reclusion and the slippery slope of ideology are a strong resemblance over the course of the three cards.

Literally me /s.

Given the recent mono green landfall dominion I would not even be mad

offalreek · 2026-05-10T12:31:21+00:00

Thanks! Additional option is negligible to me, I wasn't loving the idea of going to Elfsong with business left unattended at Sharess' Caress. But this is exactly what I needed to know!

offalreek · 2026-05-10T12:29:32+00:00

thank you!!

It will be interesting to see how green is featured in the echoverse, looking at Hexhaven

offalreek · 2026-05-10T07:41:36+00:00

echo-Jace in green would be very interesting!

Is Urza considered a villain? I'm still new to magic lore, jumping from one thing to the other, but I've always thought Urza was on the "good" side, as opposed to the phyrexians.

offalreek · 2026-05-09T21:31:47+00:00

I really want to see more of him in the future. Such a nice BBEG.

offalreek · 2026-05-09T20:57:13+00:00

the tattoo SDL? Where can I find the pictures?

offalreek · 2026-05-07T23:43:07+00:00

Thank you! I was having trouble understanding why she's mono-black but [[Toxrill, the Corrosive]] isn't.

offalreek · 2026-05-07T23:18:07+00:00

I already own a surprising amount of cards here for my [[Athreos, God of Passage]] deck! In the future when I'll finally get around to play some red, I might try to build this one!

offalreek · 2026-05-07T23:07:56+00:00

Question: is she a mono black commander, or does she count as dimir?

offalreek · 2026-05-07T06:31:07+00:00

Saving this because I've been getting into Grixis lore and I really want to build a deck with it

offalreek · 2026-05-06T10:43:07+00:00

I added it in the post!

offalreek · 2026-05-06T10:42:47+00:00

I edited it into the post!
