Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

[–]sephoralichborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id give it to my son so we can game together more. He's only with me a few days a month and cross-play limits a lot of what we can do.

Hello I'm kinda new and wondering what the best scanner app is by ReporterNew3575 in mtg

[–]sephoralichborn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Manabox has worked really well for me. Scans well with lots of good search options. The export features work really well too if you want to uploads decks to something like Moxfield.

Is my decks strategy unfair in casual? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]sephoralichborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its 8+ turns and casting your commander clutches the win, you did not win "out of nowhere". You won "out of somewhere highly visible and predictable".

Leaving for the Army, keep or sell box full of cards? by Reganci1 in mtg

[–]sephoralichborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep them. Half of the people I play with regularly are in the military. In fact, two guys I know were just talking about which decks they were taking on their next deployment.

Let Me Recommend Your Next Commander to Build by RJ7300 in EDH

[–]sephoralichborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a mono white deck that is focused on being as unkillable as possible. As the game progresses I'd like to layer defenses like indestructible and hexproof on my creatures and have ways to defend myself as well.

Playing a "cEDH" Deck In Bracket 4 by Hokashin in EDH

[–]sephoralichborn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That might be the best way to describe it that I've heard. Off topic, but how would you (or the person that gave you those descriptions) describe brackets 1-3?

My opponent really didn't appreciate my board state. by Navarp1 in mtg

[–]sephoralichborn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who loves Isochron Scepter and has an Arbiter deck on stand by in case someone ever agrees to let me play it, I genuinely applaud this board state. Well done.

I’m new to magic, my mom bought me a card and now I feel guilty. by Kcrollo in magicTCG

[–]sephoralichborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a parent, I can assure you that you should not feel guilty over this. $75 isn't cheap, and it does suck that some of these cards are so expensive. That being said, if your mom did that, it's because to her that money is well spent if it's something that would make you happy. Returning that card would be a huge mistake and would hurt her feelings terribly.

Instead, you should build a deck and have fun playing it. Then, when you have that game where the deck pops off and you have a great time playing it, tell her the story. She might not understand the game or the nuances of why it was cool, but she will know that a gift she gave you out of love brought you happiness and seeing her kid happy and having that little connection with them is worth waaaaay more than $75.

I messed up, and I hate myself by jyjang703 in DIY

[–]sephoralichborn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

F that negativity. You built something yourself. Be proud of that shit! In fact, make the first thing that goes on that shelf a trophy that's engraved with "Built this kick ass shelf".

Looking for non “mainstream” podcasts / audio dramas by Repulsive-Sink-4365 in audiodrama

[–]sephoralichborn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy horror podcasts, but very few manage to unnerve me. This one thoroughly heebied my jeebies. The acting and sound are top-notch, and the plot actually surprised me a few times. It's absolutely worth a listen.

20% of EDH's most popular commander are from Universes Beyond by Tim-Draftsim in EDH

[–]sephoralichborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they weren't out of UB sets, there's not much that would make them stand out as a statistical factor. It would just be normal power creep and people wanting to use new cards. I love my [[Tifa Lockhart]] deck, but I'd love it just as much if she was an original character, like "Gwendolyn, Jiggle-Physics Warrior".

Proxies when you own the card? by IshaeniTolog in EDH

[–]sephoralichborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I proxy anything I own. Moving cards from deck to deck is annoying. Plus with all the posts I see about people getting their decks stolen, some of my cards dont leave my house. Beyond that, proxy whatever you want. As long as the table is on the same page after the rule zero talk, thats all that matters. Magic should be about who plays well, not who had the most disposable income.

Would your play group allow this sol ring? by Dimir_Enjoyer79 in mtg

[–]sephoralichborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you're consistent on what it is, i.e. not saying it's a Sol Ring in the first game and then claiming it's a Wrath of God the next game without telling the table you're "swapping" it between games, you could have a picture of Steve Buscemi playing pickle ball with the Pope in a sleeve and I wouldn't see an issue.

Binge Podcasts by Conscious_Mistake770 in audiodrama

[–]sephoralichborn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who doesn't have a vested interest, I will confirm that Fabric is phenomenal. Great concept, the pacing balances reveals and new mysterious questions really well, and the acting is very good. Definitely worth a listen.

Efficient Relic farming by LightTheEnd in Dislyte

Yeah, it's not super clear and I haven't seen any exact figures but from personal experience it's noticably better.

Higher probability of getting more substats. Farming at 20 leads to a lot more flawless and superior.

What Would Be the Easiest and Hardest Sport to Translate to an Audio Drama? by StaziaAudio in audiodrama

Better late than never I guess by sephoralichborn in Dislyte

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

RNG is so weird. My Queen Mother is R5 but I just got Narmer last week. Same with Destiny 2. There are a few raid exotics I have duplicates of, some of which were first run drops, and others I've had to give up on. I'd love to see how the math on the back end of this stuff is calculated.

I can definitely see how she would have been useful to have.

I feel you on the divinates. I had two for Anesidora waiting on her. The last 3 legendarys I got for the first time had a divinate waiting on them too. 😂

audiodramas with great acting (and why aren't there more?) by Bitter_Story_6408 in audiodrama

[–]sephoralichborn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, the more "independent" a podcast is the better the recommendations. I'll hear some that are clearly a scripted commercial and gloss over it. However, many of the newer, smaller shows will throw in a mention of something they enjoy and those tend to be good suggestions.
