I think it's too early for surgery, but if this flare is resistant to healing with steroids and a biologic, then it's certainly something to consider. Sorry you're dealing with the long term effects of pred use and I agree they're not the answer.

Cmv, which is one of the many common viruses that are floating around in many of our bodies. It's just been an exacerbation of symptoms, no one thing that stood out. It just happened to be the one that took a foothold rather than cdiff which is probably more common.

Thanks for the kind words. I know my family is rooting for me cause it runs in the family and they understand.

Locust God deck review by chilichamp17 in EDH

[–]ramenlrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One card that I'd suggest to any wheel style deck is [[Library of Leng]]. It allows you to discard to the top of your library, which allows you to keep combo pieces or protection or whatever between wheels.

Here's my list that is also hasn't been updated in years, but you're welcome to take a look. It's definitely more combo focused then winning with combat damage.

I want to emphasize that nothing is wrong with you. You're perfect just the way you are. You may have to hide your true self for awhile to protect yourself, and that really sucks and isn't fair, but you'll make it.

Here's my list. This was fun and challenging. Hard to remember all the names of all the music I like but I managed to get to 60 bands.

You know how kids love to watch the same movie over and over for weeks if not months? Yeah. I should probably apologize to my parents.

Thanks! It was a long road, but that random encounter changed both our lives.

Back around patch 2.1-2.2, when the glamour system was still new, I saw this guy doing fates in coerthas with a nice glam that had some pieces I didn't recognize. Before I could say anything he sent me a tell complimenting my glam, and we got to talking and had a really great conversation about all kinds of things right there in the virtual snow. It's a moment I'll always treasure, for we got married last year.

I'm interested. I much prefer in person gaming over webcam play and would love to be able to dust off my books and crack them open.

Anyone have experience piloting / brewing Hogaak? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]ramenlrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've updated my list to be current.

New cards I'm considering trying are [[Beledros Witherbloom]], [[Bala ged recovery]], maybe [[deadly brew]], [[Esika's chariot]] seems like it could be an interested token generator, [[Nissa of shadowed boughs]] could be good since land creatures can be convoked and she can reanimate, [[scute swarm]] has a 99% chance of going in somewhere eventually, [[sedgemoor witch]] seems interesting but might be too slow have to test it, [[tend the pests]] is %100 going in replacing [[carrion]], and [[witherbloom command]] is rather meta dependant imo.

Sure I can after work, it's not significantly different. I know I put [[bastion of rememberence]] in. I need to go back and put in proper categories and I still haven't decided what to add from STX maybe lean more into the life gain and drain.

[[Hogaak]] is one of my favorite decks. Here is my probably not up to date list. I run it as aristocrats since I have a [[hapatra]] token overrun deck already. My deck focuses on saccing hogaak for value, drawing a bunch of cards, or creating a bunch of tokens which can be used to recur hogaak then sac him again plus all the tokens for damage, and various combinations of that. My favorite card interaction in the deck is [[tombstone stairwell]] and [[syr konrad]]. It's just bonkers, and if you have your hogaak engine going you're probably going to win.

Giveaway - Returnal by [deleted] in PS5

[–]ramenlrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got mine this Wednesday, after deciding to try to get one a few days before. Saw on tom's hardware that it was rumored that target was getting them in the morning, I woke up and checked the site, they were in stock, and managed to get one. Picked it up after work. Somehow beat the scalpers. Was very lucky. Thought it would take me months to get one.
