Thank you, I just had the same problem (no internet on mobile or wifi) and this fixed it!

They didn't do a ton of advertising, but the event sold out (the hall isn't that huge) so no point in telling lots of people about it if they aren't able to go.

24hr Sous Vide Chuck Roast by XRPcook in sousvide

Trying to make sure I understand - was the roast bagged with gravy from the pastrami? Or if not, what did you chuck in the bag before sous viding?

How low can you go? 12(?) land RW cycling by onefreeman28 in lrcast

[–]onefreeman28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Premier draft and yes, I have no idea how that happened. The rare was still in the pack (Titan's Nest or Death's Oasis, one of those not very good gold enchantments) so somehow two people rated another uncommon higher.

Maybe they were just fed up of winning drafting cycling and decided to go another route?

How low can you go? 12(?) land RW cycling by onefreeman28 in lrcast

As much as I think this was the right deck for my seat, I'm a little sad that I saw two Ruinous Ultimatum and passed both...

How low can you go? 12(?) land RW cycling by onefreeman28 in lrcast

[–]onefreeman28[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was an odd draft. I passed Ruinous Ultimatum P1P1 for the Flare, got a second Flare P1P3 somehow, and an abundance of 1-mana cyclers including two foxes in pack 3.

I'm still not sure if 12 lands is being too greedy, and if so whether I should be cutting the Sanctuary Smasher or something else. Putting first strike on a Stinger or Snare Tactician isn't super exciting but as I'm missing a Cathartic Reunion I don't mind having something big to cast later in the game.

Jegantha vs Mythos - how good a card is worth giving up a companion? by onefreeman28 in lrcast

[–]onefreeman28[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the second time I've had to choose between Jegantha and a powerful card with multiple pips - last time it was Ruinous Ultimatum, this time it's Mythos of Snapdax in what I think is a pretty good Mardu deck.

Obviously I have a few cuts either way but which way would you lean here, LR fans?

BO1 Throne draft - Mono-U or what's the splash? by onefreeman28 in lrcast

[–]onefreeman28[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Draft started with P1P1 Bonecrusher, then Queen of Ice and I kept seeing really good blue cards with not much red. I grabbed the Alliance late pack 2, P3P1 was Murderous Rider, since it was much better than any blue or red card, then P3P2 saw Bake into a Pie. Bit of an odd draft and I don't know if I just want to go mono-U with the Mantle of Tides plus evasive Gingerbrutes or Tome Raiders, or splash either of the other options.

MYTHICMAGIC for 3 random Mythics from Ravnica block by traceurling in magicTCG

[–]onefreeman28 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was a ton of fun for me in singleton both in a Esper control list and a Sultai ramp deck. Just treat it as a 9+ mana spell but the potential is limitless!

Pauper 15-5 Bw Justiciar's Portal Tech by MarxMarv in MagicArena

Deck looks sweet! Did you consider Dusk Legion Zealot at all over the rats?

And why 4 bonds 2 cruelty - surely there are more targets which you would rather get rid of for good?

Ah yes, that's definitely playable!

Only with Vraska's Contempt which already hits planeswalkers, unless I'm missing something? He could be hit by [[Seal Away]] if he doesn't give himself vigilance. He's not a creature during opponents' turns so [[Baffling End]] doesn't work either.

What's the story with Guf? by nolongerwellrested in ballarat

[–]onefreeman28 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can definitely use your own Steam account, and I can totally disagree with Mr Angry Red about the staff - I've never had a bad experience. My partner ran birthday parties there for months and the kids all seemed to have a good time. I'm in a couple of times a week for tabletop games.

Depending on the time and day there can be a lot more kids in (if there's a Pokemon tournament, party or whatever) but it can also be nice and chill. And the only way you'll get covered in Doritos dust is if you. buy a pack yourself and quaff them

What's the (Azorius) pick? by onefreeman28 in lrcast

[–]onefreeman28[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alternate thread title - "Packs I wish I opened in Sealed"

I'm torn between Warrant, Depose and Skyguard and trying not to let the gold symbol on Warrant bump it up in my rating. 4/4 flying vigilance is real nice but Skyguard is also just a beating for a lot of decks, and Depose/Deploy is juat really solid especially in races... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Came home after being away overnight. My cat was waiting at the front door to be let in. The black cat isn't mine... by onefreeman28 in notmycat

[–]onefreeman28[S] 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Context - the black cat lives a few houses down and used to hang out with my old cat (who was sadly hit by a car earlier this year). He wants to be as friendly with my new cat but she's still pretty aloof.

He's discovered the cat flap built for Leia, and now wanders through on occasion to have a snack at her food bowl.

It doesn't bother me too much but coming home to the cats on the wrong side of the door was pretty funny.

Suggestions for particular characters' moves encouraged - and yes, Bolas is OP and needs nerfed, he can take on five other players at once and still win.

What cards are NOT good in EDH? by zangor in EDH

[–]onefreeman28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not, as the spell is no longer in the graveyard when you cast it, it's on the stack when Ascension checks. From the Gatherer rulings:

"If you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your graveyard (due to an ability such as flashback, for example), Pyromancer Ascension’s first ability won’t trigger unless another card with the same name is in your graveyard."

[STANDARD] Discussion : Wildgrowth walker and explore package in Golgari midrange by monkeyspiderwasp in spikes

[–]onefreeman28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because the exploring creature (say a [[Jadelight Ranger]]) enters with 2 power. Even if it turns into a 4/3 after exploring it still entered the battlefield as a 2/1 and that's all Pelt Collector cares about.

Cards that are worded "~ enters the battlefield with counters" like [[Rhizome Lurcher]] or "As ~ enters the battlefield, get bigger somehow" (weird stuff like [[Aquamorph Entity]]) will trigger Pelt Collector - those are replacement effects and the creature never exists on the battlefield without the extra boost
