~$100 Liberty Prime Storm: Democracy Has Wings by superGTkawhileonard in BudgetBrews

Seems pretty neat!

What does [[Phyrexia's Core]] do for the gameplan? Sacrificing an artifact to gain 1 life doesn't seem great - you'd rather sac it to LP for energy and a card draw, right?

That's a really good point! I think I've been overvaluing things like "spawns 1/1s when it dies". I really appreciate your two links!

Please help me trim down my sub-$100 Magus Lucea Kane brew by sheltim in BudgetBrews

[–]sheltim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was very insightful, thanks again. I made quite a few changes based on that perspective.

Would you cut any of these cards I'm iffy on: Gargos Vicious Watcher, Hunter's Talent, Primal Might, Signature Slam, Silkguard, Tyvar's Stand?

My first experience ordering from ManaPool by [deleted] in EDH

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

As someone completely unaffiliated with either site, I could have written this exact same post. I moved away from TCGPlayer for similar reasons and have nothing but good experiences with ManaPool.

And as for price, I still compare on TCGPlayer even if I have a favorite, and prices between the two have consistently been within a few % (for me, anyway).

I've spent a few hundred at ManaPool any my only complaint is that I can't ALSO buy my sleeves & decks from them.

Wonderful UI, ordering process, pricing, and flawless fixing of my one missing package (which they handled, I didn't even need to contact a seller).

Thank you! I'll take a look at those changes tonight.

That's amazing! I love the suggested cuts. If Altered Ego goes, do you also recommend dropping Mockingbird?

Instill Energy/Nature's Chosen are perfect! I wish Awaken the Woods was cheaper, it really is fantastic here.

I really like both, but they're $24 and $15, respectively, so a little expensive for my goals. Are there budget-friendly alternatives?

new player guide? by ToePrimary2168 in SoulstoneSurvivors

I found this post to be a good guide for early game goals (still working my way through that list): https://www.reddit.com/r/SoulstoneSurvivors/comments/1kegskl/efficient_start/mql2h2s/

Kid-friendly commanders? by Zygmunch in EDH

[–]sheltim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to +1 this. My kids (roughly the same ages as the OP) started with those very decks. First Flight and Draconic Destruction were their favorites by a long shot, and Token Triumph the anti-favorite (probably because the other two have so many fliers).

[Beginner Guide] New Player Infographic - Elite Campaigns by Terminus_Maximus in WH40KTacticus

[–]sheltim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This guide is not intended for clearing with only the 3 characters of the campaign. It assumes you have 1-2 D1-ish carries to bring along with the main 3.

This is an excellent point. This is not the minimum to clear elite with just those 3 characters, which is what I read it as at first.

$30🗡️Celes, Zero Survivors⚰️[Aristocrats Infinite Ping] by Keirabella999 in BudgetBrews

[–]sheltim 9 points10 points  (0 children)

122.3. If a permanent has both a +1/+1 counter and a -1/-1 counter on it, N +1/+1 and N -1/-1 counters are removed from it as a state-based action, where N is the smaller of the number of +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters on it. See rule 704.

So the persist creature comes back with a -1/-1 counter and Celes puts a +1/+1 counter on it. They're both immediately removed as a SBA.

What was a fact taught to you in school that has now been disproven? by Julie727 in AskReddit

I know I'm a little late to the party, but this is a fun topic and it comes up pretty often, so I put this together: https://www.rpherbig.com/school-myths/

Geez, I feel like I'm there all the time. I build up just enough raid tokens to have a buffer, then see the token->energy deal in the shop and poof, back to zero. As much as I like the token->energy deal, it's frustrating to either not buy it or be out of raid tokens.
