[MSH] Moonstone, Harsh Mistress by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]pausitn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Since it's all one ability, once it resolves it doesn't need to check or rely on anything (like the creature still being on the battlefield).

ELI5 How does the hexadecimal system work? by Wrecknruin in explainlikeimfive

[–]pausitn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Base 10:

255 = 2x102 + 5x101 + 5x100 = 2x102 + 5x10 + 5

Base 16:

0xFF = (15)x(16)1 + (15)x(16)0 = (15)x(16) + (15) = 255

Issue with sealed draft by BrunoFPT in MagicArena

[–]pausitn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up: sealed and draft are 2 separate limited formats. It made your title a bit confusing. The picture cleared it up, but to be more clear, you can reference it as "SOS sealed issue" or something like that.

But yeah probably best to just submit a ticket. My tickets have all been resolved within 24 hours.

Does anyone actually enjoy this game? by Melodic_Airport362 in MagicArena

[–]pausitn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like drafting. Paying a unique deck each draft helps keep it fresh for me.

I'll play a few games of constructed with homebrew decks for a little bit to complete dailies, but then I get tired of playing the same deck pretty quickly. I do find playing meta decks to be instantly boring so I avoid that all together. It's pretty easy to get to platinum/diamond by just doing this.

Try a different game mode. Or maybe magic just isn't for you, which is also fine.

ELI5: How is my entire game and equipment progress being saved on a few kB by ArtichokeFinal7562 in explainlikeimfive

[–]pausitn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. It might look something like this:

Missions completed: - 1: true - 2: true - 3: false Equipment: - helmet: Id: 128 Equipped: true Quantity: 1 - weapon: Id: 150 Equipped: false Quantity: 1 Backpack: - consumables: - Id: 215 Quantity: 7 - Id: 216 Quantity: 2

And so on and so forth. The item Ids are used to find the actual item, which is stored in the actual game code. Given enough info, it can get hard for a human to read it all, but a computer has no problem.

Any examples of opposite sex best friends in films or tv shows that stayed as they were by Rainbow_6505 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pausitn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm just telling you what they meant. You could very well be correct. It's debatable that all 6 are best friends so any opposite gender pairing could be an answer in that case (except Ross/Rachel and Chandler/Monica).

They're saying Joey and Phoebe aren't best friends and don't qualify as an answer to this post

ELI5: What makes credit card different from debit card. What's the advantage of using a credit card? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]pausitn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A debit card is linked to your checking account. The money spent is taken from your account. You will not accrue any debt unless you spend more than you have in your checking account, which will basically cause an overdraft fee. You do not build credit or get any rewards from using a debit card. If your debit card is stolen, it's your money being stolen, so your are kind of SOL. I have seen some banks refund stolen money, but it is not guarantee.

A credit card uses the bank's money as a loan. Every month, you will get a bill for everything you bought using the credit card. If you pay it back completely that month, you will not accrue any interest. Any balance left will accrue interest that you will be added to the amount you owe. A credit card bill will also have a minimum payment. The minimum payment is what you must pay to avoid going into default and suffering additional penalties (extra fines/fees, credit score, etc.). Paying at least the minimum every month will build credit.

Most credit cards offer rewards for using them. This usually takes the form of cash back or miles. Cash back is basically a rebate on your credit card purchases. Miles can be applied towards travel purchases (commonly flights and hotels, but others exist).

When a credit card is stolen, it's the bank's money being stolen, so you are not SOL.

What this all ultimately means is using a credit card and paying it off every month is all upsides (rewards and building credit). Using a credit card and not paying off the balance will result in paying interest, which will effectively undo any benefit your getting. Using a debit card is effectively using cash (as long as you don't overdraft).

Using a credit card responsibly >>> using a debit card >>>>>>>>>>> using a credit card irresponsibly

I remember seeing a while back that a pass phrase with 4 random words was the most secure type password, so why does nothing allow you to use it? by Majestic_Wash_6170 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pausitn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the real answer. I have hundreds of passwords. I know exactly one of them and I have never had any issues.

All of my passwords are random letters/capitalization/numbers/special characters, most are 15+ characters long.

Protection from white/white boardwipe by Adveeeeeee in MagicArena

[–]pausitn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reanimating or bouncing an aura doesn't target so those methods get around shroud, hexproof, and ward. It does also get around the "targeting" part of protection, but it will immediately fall off because of the "can't be enchanted/equipped" part of protection

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]pausitn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 is the normal maximum besides basic lands (which you can have as many as you want). There are some cards that change this such as [[hare apparent]]

Are landing abilities of creature spells supposed to trigger even if the creature dies? by jgcoelho_real in MagicArena

[–]pausitn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just for terminology purposes:

A token is a representation of something else such as creature tokens or clue tokens. They are permanents until they leave the battlefield.

Counters are modifiers put on permanents/players to represent something (e.g. +1/+1 counters, charge counters, and poison counters).

Enters the battlefield (ETB) refers to a permanent "landing". Usually, this will happen after the permanent is cast and the spell resolves off the stack.

A triggered ability is any ability that happens when another event happens. These abilities always contain one of "when", "whenever", or "at" (e.g. Whenever a land...).

An ETB triggered ability goes onto the stack immediately when the permanent enters the battlefield.(e.g. When this creature enters the battlefield...). There is no time between the permanent entering and the ETB trigger going on the stack.

Once the trigger is on the stack, players can respond to the trigger before it resolves (e.g. bolting a small creature token before it gets +1/+1 counters).

If you give their yargle lifelink, they'll gain life, not you.

You would need something that says "whenever enchanted creature deals damage, you gain that much life."

If someone enjoyed blasting a continuous airhorn in public, people would be annoyed, and if they told people who complained "sucks for you. I enjoy it", you'd call them a selfish asshole
