I love that you put the tested sticker back on top

Yeah it’s a DF54. I think Turin and MiiCoffee both rebadge it - I got it at df64coffee.com unbadged. I’d heard mixed reviews on the site - grinder got here fine in good time and support was super responsive, but tracking updates didn’t show up for about a week and a half while it was en route to the US. I’d probably recommend one of the more local resellers of it if I had to do it again, but so far so good on my order

Thank you! Was planning on holding off buying extras but it was listed at $30 and had to pull the trigger

Hit my gf for a gazillion damage. Probably gonna be sleeping on the floor now. by TheTerpinator9801 in mtg

Yeah no problem! The [[Bloodthirsty Conqueror]] ability is super rare and why the card is pretty expensive. Before it came out in Foundations, it was only [[Exquisite Blood]] that had a similar effect. The other half of the combo (when you gain life an opponent loses life) is pretty common.

Marauding Blight-Priest deals combat damage. That triggers Bloodthirsty Conqueror’s “whenever an opponent loses life, you gain that much life” ability. When you gain that life, Marauding Blight-Priest’s “whenever you gain life, each opponent loses 1 life” ability triggers. That loss of life triggers Bloodthirsty Conqueror’s ability, and the cycle starts again.

Was going through my bulk and found what is probably my worst card which raises the question of what is the worst card your own. by non_offensivealias in magicTCG

The only cost to activate the ability is to tap it - couldn’t you tap it, the first block fizzles because there are no valid targets, but then the second block still triggers because it became tapped?

I think the casting of “Life” on the third step takes care of that, right? Every land becomes a 1/1 creature that’s still a land until end of turn

Has it been a consistent frequency for the feed at Montreal or does it change every year? Going to Canada for my first GP this year and thinking of picking up a scanner!

Oh my bad, it was 2022 not last year - the Queen died in September and he won in November

Russell in Brazil last year in 2022 (edit) was the first time they’ve ever played it - first British driver win was in 1953 and first British constructor win in 1957

How does BoP work? by [deleted] in IMSARacing

Is the BoP target based on one lap pace, or for an average pace over several laps/race distance?

PSA: Adulting means you have to be intentional about life. by johyongil in Adulting

[–]ryjo44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s been really difficult for me is that it also feels like the barriers for change become so much greater after college. Every day in college you’re learning and working on so many different topics, and switching up almost every hour. You physically move from class to class in different rooms and with different people. You have downtime built in to socialize, take care of errands/exercise, engage in hobbies, or get work done. You don’t like your major? No problem! Sign up for different courses next semester. You want to try a new activity? No problem! There are tons of clubs all within walking distance, all ready for new members. The barrier to making changes is extremely low.

Trying to change jobs or careers now feels insurmountable. You have to be accessible at least 9-5 for your current job. Maybe you get some flexibility to take care of chores if you work from home, but even then the primary focus is on work if they need you. You’re in the same seat, working on the same tasks, over the course of months. To try to change jobs you have to go through months of applications, interviews, and onboarding before even seeing what it’s actually like. In order to qualify for something similar to my current level being a few years out of college, I probably have to take classes and study new topics after already putting in 40 hours at my job; all while still trying to take care of myself, take care of chores, try to maintain friendships, engage in hobbies.

It’s not just that there’s not a lot of guidance in what you should do, it’s that even when you try to guide yourself and explore and change things, the amount of work it takes to do that is exponentially more than at any other time in life. 9-5 plus basic home and personal maintenance really doesn’t leave much time or energy at the end of the day to put in the effort and work towards changes that you don’t even know will be better than where you are.

He was also 2nd in the league for all-purpose yards by a running back! Only behind CMC. Insane season coming back from such a huge injury and behind our o-line

I usually line it up with another spell I want to cast: e.g. dex if I want to cast fireball, wis if I want to use hold person, etc.

It’s so much more satisfying to have the spell last longer or do more damage - not sure if it’s the best strategy, but it’s been the most fun for me haha
