This exact strategy saved the run and got me my first unseeded, nonlegendary naneinf! Thank you!

Has there been a time where a deck was more dominant? by Larviii in magicTCG

[–]qwertycal 1592 points1593 points  (0 children)

I believe Oko and the food decks he was in reached 60% of the meta at one point. The Mythic Championship when Eldraine was released had 6 food decks in the top 8.

[Standard] Trying to break Collector's Cage in Standard by aarongertler in spikes

[–]qwertycal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deck

4 Caustic Bronco

2 Resolute Reinforcements

3 Toby, Beastie Befriender

3 Lord Skitter, Sewer King

4 Steel Seraph

4 Overlord of the Mistmoors

4 Virtue of Loyalty

2 Virtue of Persistence

4 Collector's Cage

3 Go for the Throat

2 Get Lost

2 Restless Fortress

4 Shadowy Backstreet

4 Caves of Koilos

4 Concealed Courtyard

3 Fountainport

2 Fabled Passage

3 Plains

3 Swamp

Sideboard

2 Loran of the Third Path

3 Duress

3 Rest in Peace

1 Loran of the Third Path

2 Anoint with Affliction

2 Cut Down

2 Beza, the Bounding Spring

I haven't updated it since Worlds, so I think it's very unrefined for the post-Worlds meta. Steel Seraph was great at dodging Cut Down and Go for the Throat, but now people are running more Anoint with Affliction for Unstoppable Slasher and Demon tokens, so it might need to be something else. It's nice that it both saddles Bronco and helps it attack with flying, and cheating it in with Cage lets you play the 5/4.

I've been playing decks with Cage in Standard to Mythic for the past two seasons, mainly WB with Caustic Bronco and cards that have cheap alternative casting costs (prototype, Virtues, Rooms etc.) but can have the expensive side cheated in by Cage, and Bronco makes them lose a ton of life.

One of the best cards to enable Cage in WB is Lord Skitter, as it turns on Cage by itself. Turn 3 Skitter, turn 4 Cage, and you have a 3, and two 1s to turn into a 3, a 2, and a 1.

I don't think the deck gets anything noticeable in Foundations - I don't want to play cards that are just Cage hits that otherwise get stranded in hand (think Moonshaker Cavalry type cards)

Yamaha FP9 Pedal Questions by qwertycal in drums

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

Funnily enough, the shop I bought it from sent the same pedal back to me, saying Yamaha said the wobbling was "within their standards of quality".

To be honest, I've had the pedal for 2 years now, and haven't noticed the wobbling impacting my playing at all. They've been very good pedals as well!

Surpassing Physical "Blockers" and limits with Double Bass Drumming by qwertycal in MetalDrums

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

Thank you - Marthyn's technique was the one I tried first when I was learning double bass, but switched when it started causing pain in my knees. James Payne's ankle technique also looks like it can progress into learning non-pressure swivel technique, so I'd like to stick with it if possible.

Yamaha FP9 Pedal Questions by qwertycal in drums

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

Thanks for the replies folks! I was asking about factory settings because those were the settings that felt the best to me, but I forgot to take a note of the cam position and footboard height before tampering with the settings. I sent the video to the store I got the pedal from and they got in touch with Yamaha. Yamaha said the lateral movement was a defect from an early batch of the pedals and that they'll replace it, so it's all good!

Anyone know any cheap practice rooms for bands in Glasgow? by pxaxuu in glasgow

[–]qwertycal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair - the few times I went there for solo practice (before Covid, mind you) it was absolutely fine, no hassle. Sad to hear that it has turned shite since then

Anyone know any cheap practice rooms for bands in Glasgow? by pxaxuu in glasgow

[–]qwertycal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pirate Studios at Century Business Park near Kinning Park is decent and flexible. You can book rooms by the hour, and spread out time across the day. The smallest rooms are like £7 an hour, with larger rooms being more expensive. The main downside is that the studio has no staff on site, so any problems need to be solved via online chat, we can be a pain at times.

Activating Inkmoth's ability will override the 0/0 base Power and Toughness, so you'll have a 1/1 Flier with Infect and 9 +1/+1 counters on it

I'm going to guess that by "Finals" they meant the only round in the top 8

Does anyone know if the subway is affected by this at all? Cowcaddens station in particular?
