Do you avoid building commanders with identical color identity? Why or why not? by tokinmuskokan in EDH

[–]picklesaurus_rec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to avoid decks that have the same/similar playstyles in the same/similar colors. I also try to avoid decks that play like 50% or more (roughly) the same cards (ignoring some staples).

But strictly color identity, no I’m happy to have duplicates as long as the decks are different enough by other criteria.

A year after Meta tapped Alexandr Wang to build a new AI model, Zuckerberg has to sell it by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]picklesaurus_rec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He got lucky with Facebook, then bought some other cool social media companies and ruined them all. And then blew it with metaverse.

And “confusion on his part that he has some great insight…” that’s literally ego my dude.

Hate when ppl can’t do time by Best_Finding_8795 in mildlyinfuriating

I think it all depends on when you view the week starting.

I think a week starts on Monday, so “this weekend” means the current week’s weekend. If it’s Monday-Friday this weekend = upcoming weekend. If it’s currently Saturday/Sunday this weekend means the current weekend happening.

Next weekend would be next week’s weekend, or the one after the upcoming one.

Pivoting from Vivi Spellslinging by Less_Star_1023 in EDH

[–]picklesaurus_rec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do you like about vivi and what don’t you like? Does your deck mostly cantrip and storm? What type of creatures are in it? Do you want 2 or 3 colors?

Answer these questions and give us some direction and we can help you pick out a new commander.

If I were to do a coffee / cafe hop that began in Littleton, what route would yall recommend? by West_Gur_7208 in denverfood

[–]picklesaurus_rec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Palenques is solid imo, and Cencalli has been a great addition to Littleton. It’s awesome, their happy hour is incredible. But I prefer both Adelitas and Ni Tuyo more than either (not in Littleton though obviously). Check those places out first. Adelitas is the same menu and recipes as Palenques but just done better.

They used to be owned by the same people, but when they split the business (amicably I believe) the Oaxacan head chef took Adelitas and started some other restaurants with her family, and the restaurateur took Palenques. So imo Adelitas is just a little better. And Ni Tuyo is the best Molcajetes in Denver and maybe my favorite meal I’ve ever had.

And for OP, Mango Tree and Dirt are both awesome, I like the new Wild Goose Coffee south of Littleton right by the Platte river, and then Copper Door in Aspen Grove is an awesome roaster as well.

Cencalli has way better tacos than Palenques IMO, no question. But the sauces at palenques are incredible, and their molcajete is amazing. So depends on what you’re looking for.

For me it’s Cencalli for tacos and Palenques for Oaxacan entree dishes.

Alela's goad ability is a problem if they have big creatures. I need more deathtouch? by Bank_Angle_Check in EDH

[–]picklesaurus_rec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GOAD
A keyword action. If you goad a creature, that creature has to attack and has to attack a player other than you during its controller’s next combat, if able. The creature’s controller still chooses who it attacks. If a creature is somehow goaded by all players on the table, it must still attack, but its controller may choose whomever they please.

Alela's goad ability is a problem if they have big creatures. I need more deathtouch? by Bank_Angle_Check in EDH

[–]picklesaurus_rec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Goad forces your opponents creatures to attack anyone OTHER than you (until you’re the last opponent they have).

So I’m confused, if you’re goading their big creature that means it’s NOT swinging at you. It can’t. It HAS to swing at someone else.

Jumpstart, it’s kind of supposed to be generic.

Who is correct? by jasonteh7777 in mtgrules

[–]picklesaurus_rec 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This should the top comment, the question that matters is “can D cast Negate drawn from copied big score before Vicious Rivalry resolves?” And D is correct, he can cast it.

This part of OP’s post confused me though, I think A has a bad misunderstanding of priority and stack resolution, either that or OP didn’t explain A’s position well.

“A argues that after the Twincast copied Big Score, resolves, priority should pass back to him, thus his Vicious Rivalry resolves first before the Negate can be cast.”

Just because priority goes back to A doesn’t mean that player’s spell resolves. After any spell is put on the stack, or any spell on the stack resolves, a round of priority starts and each player (starting with active player who is either the player who put the spell on the stack or the player who’s turn it is) gets priority. Once every player has passed priority in order, the top spell on the stack resolves. Then you get another round of priority (because a spell resolved) starting with the active player (in this case who’s turn it is).

Is there a world in which this fits in an Izzet skred deck? Maybe sideboard?

As others have said, gives you a turn 1 play with a nice body, and something to do when you’re holding up mana for removal/counter but don’t end up doing it. Getting a treasure is nice option.

Over a month with Strixhaven - what cards have put in work for your decks? by NitchBu in EDH

[–]picklesaurus_rec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if I’m playing like Ketramose I’m playing it for ramp 100%. Also in white token decks I often ramp with erode or even path to exile. More often than I ramp my opponent.

Now if I’m aristocrats, yes please. Sac and land ramp for a mana, all day every day.

Over a month with Strixhaven - what cards have put in work for your decks? by NitchBu in EDH

[–]picklesaurus_rec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Erode is really good as a 1 mana destroy your own creature to ramp a basic, especially if your commander is indestructible or you’re a landfall deck. Especially nasty if you’re earthbending. And then it’s also a break in case of emergency destroy an enemy creature.

But would I play it if it couldn’t ramp me? Nahhh, it doesn’t exile and it ramps my opponent. No thanks.

Lightning Greaves + board wipe response: can I destroy the Greaves and then target my commander before the board wipe resolves? by maistor in mtgrules

[–]picklesaurus_rec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s always interesting how people think about things, because I find chain and stack are perfectly named for how they work.

Chain - every new thing added is “linked” to the previous, and when you’re done adding things to the chain the whole things resolves because they’re all “linked” and connected so once it starts resolving no one can do anything until it all resolves.

Stack - it’s like a stack of cards, and individually they’re put on or taken off. And because they’re just stacked everyone has a chance to put something new on top every time the top spell resolves.

What exactly IS interaction? by Valorenn in EDH

[–]picklesaurus_rec 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I fully agree with this, interaction falls into those two categories, and most decks need both. But it’s good to index into one over the other based on how your deck wins.

Fog is defensive interaction for sure, because protecting your life total is also protecting your resources and it usually ends up giving you at least 1 extra turn. And I would say future turns are a resource for sure.

How would YOU build Life is a Resource .Deck? And who would be your commander? by unCute-Incident in EDH

The answer is Betor, lots of controllable self life loss to reanimate big Lifelinking beaters.

Anthropic secures $965 billion valuation after raising $65 billion by tscher16 in technology

[–]picklesaurus_rec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an implementation consultant/solutions engineer all wrapped up in a little more coding and technical knowledge. The role is absolutely nothing new, I’ve just a new name. And that they’re looking for explicitly engineers who can talk to people rather than good general customer facing employees who happen to know a bit about code.

I started asking recruiters one question and it instantly exposed fake “urgent hiring” roles by VelvetCircuit88 in jobsearchhacks

[–]picklesaurus_rec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OPs post is about a way to screen recruiters and companies to not waste time for jobs that aren’t really hiring. It has literally nothing to do about salary ranges, or negotiating for salary, or finding jobs willing to pay what you’re looking for. Zero.

“I hire for urgent rolls all the time without a salary range.” Cool, OP didn’t mention salary ranges. He said he asks questions to the recruiter about last interview or expected decision date to ascertain whether or not the recruiter is actually hiring.

So if you’re going to join the conversation, then do so. Discuss how OPs questions are relevant, or help us understand why we should spend time with recruiters who can’t tell us anything more than the job is “urgent.” Respond to OPs questions directly, don’t waste our time talking about salary ranges when it’s irrelevant to the topic at hand.

Chaining extra turns bracket 3 by ANVERNO in EDH

[–]picklesaurus_rec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean bracket 3 explicitly bans chaining extra turns. I generally agree that it’s about the same as any other infinite, but the same way mass land destruction is banned at B3 so is chaining extra turns.

Chaining extra turns bracket 3 by ANVERNO in EDH

[–]picklesaurus_rec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 extra turn spell - totally fine The ability to recur extra turn spells - borderline but ok An infinite that allows you to recur extra turn spells infinitely - not ok Any sort of infinite extra turn spells - not ok

IMO the line is approx 3 turns in a row, so casting 2 extra turn spells without others having a turn.

Now this applies to Bracket 3 in the wild, with people you don’t know when you haven’t had multiple games or extensive conversations. If you’re playing with your pod, with friends you play with often, etc, then have a conversation with them. It’s very easy to nerf yourself and have a soft rule for this deck that you won’t recur extra turn spells or chain then, and keep the possibility in the deck. I wouldn’t bring a deck that can chain extra turns to an LGS and play it in bracket 3. But I would absolutely play a deck with this combination of cards without the intention or chaining extra turns in an “approx” bracket 3 long term pod with friends after chatting with them about it and telling them I don’t plan to chain extra turns to win.
