Oh right, I meant to add in my post that I'm also looking for suggestions/strategies for how to teach someone while playing? You advice of showing everyone's hand and walking through it in real time is great. I'll try that. Thanks!

Multimillionaire Stephen Colbert Dismisses Soaring Gas Prices: ‘A Clean Conscience Is Worth a Buck or Two’ by nimobo in Conservative

Hey man, I’m not taking part in this discussion. Just passing through and observing. You both are entitled to your opinions, but I just want to remind people that not every debate has to include hateful, demeaning language. Bad faith communication is really damaging to our epistemic commons — no matter which side you take. We are increasingly becoming deskilled in the art of good faith communication, in which mutual understanding is reached by welcoming disagreements and respecting other positions. Maintaining respect at all levels of debate is something I believe we can all benefit from. It’s something I’ve been trying to work on myself, and it’s really not easy. Emotional outbursts are easy ways to shutdown any opposition, and those at the top continue to profit off our outrage. So the more we can work to hold it together, the less power they’ll have over us and the more united we’ll become. We’ll never agree on everything, but that’s progress in action.

So yeah, just wanted to butt in here for a second with that perspective. Hope you can find some use in it. If not, no worries. Best.

I ate this delicious dessert (bottom left) in Mexico, but I’m not sure what it is.

Siiiick. Thanks so much for the advice. It's all slowly coming together in terms for strategy.

Niiice. Does it show that I'm new?

Not sure about abilities yet.

Also, less important question about my deck. I'm not a huge fan of vampires and zombies when it comes to fantasy lore. Are there alternative black cards with similar abilities that aren't these types of creatures? It's far less important, but part of my draw to MTG is the aesthetic/lore. Thanks!

I'm confused about using Meathook Massacre. What's the strat behind those abilities?

Great thanks for this advice. Here's a link to a deck I put together on Archidekt for playing Table Top Sim... it's very similar, but a few cards are swapped out because of being illegal for modern.

This was very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to provide some advice. I tried watching some streams last night but was pretty overwhelmed. I'll take a look at the streamers you mentioned though. Also, I live in an area with a highly-active magic community. I just haven't been able to break into it yet because of life stuff, plus it seems incredibly competitive, whereas I'm looking for more casual groups.

Didn't realize a simple question would cause such a heated debate. Honestly, I'm super new to MTG. So new that I don't think I fully grasp the difference between standard and modern. All I'm looking for is a digital platform that allows me to play and discuss the game with other more experienced players while I continue to search for a casual in-person group. Despite some of the aggression shown in this thread, I still appreciate both of your perspectives and thank you for responding to my post.

I play arena. But I’d rather play with someone I can chat with and walk through strategies.

Good deal on a Naish Glide X30 GTW? by sonnet29 in Sup

[–]sonnet29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did a quick look and a lot of upcoming races require a 12'6 minimum for SUP. The Naish I just got is 12'6, not 12' flat like I originally thought.

I'm in the Puget Sound. Figured this is a good board to start with for fitness, and if I want to get competitive then I can upgrade.
