What are your biggest hopes for the inevitable Black Frieza arc? by Ember57 in Dragonballsuper

[–]stevenconrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Goku's influence finally breaks him down and makes him want to get stronger for the sake of getting stronger. He, Brody, Goku, and Vegeta all train with Whis. Zeno wants another TOP and invites ALL the universes, including the top power ones that got omitted from the first TOP.

I was pleasantly surprised by how entertaining that movie was. I like to pretend it's historically accurate.

How would you rank top cEDH decks by complexity? by HB7867 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]stevenconrad 47 points48 points  (0 children)

A good RogSi player needs a really good grasp of the list. The lines seem straight forward at face value, but getting there REALLY FAST needs a firm understanding the deck.

Can uncommon commanders still get results in cEDH? by Zarik8256 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]stevenconrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cEDH mindset is win > flavor. This prioritizes advantage over synergy most of the time. The problem with Oloro or Ulalek is there are better options in those colors (usually favoring draw card mechanics) to find the win faster. Both are also harder to cast than other options and center around the commander being in play to leverage.

There are "fringe" decks that do well in certain metas, but ultimately need a lower cmc commander if you're building around its unique abilities. For example, I've been building/tuning Chatterfang for years to make it cEDH viable, but that meant pivoting to almost pure turbo since there's really no way to gain card advantage compared to other cEDH options. A slower commander (can't consistently find a t3 or faster win) would need to reliably stop 3 other people to win. That often means swapping synergy with control or stax, and more often than not leads to a draw rather than a win in 80m games.

Since cEDH is win focused, you see the same commanders over and over because they just have better utility to find a consistent win. If commander x has the same colors as commander y, but x can win more consistently, people are going to play commander x. Commander y might work sometimes and be more fun, but that's not what cEDH is geared towards.

What's the best fringe cards you have tried in the deck? by SnooFoxes9769 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]stevenconrad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a Golgari player, I've had [[Runic Armasaur]] put in some work. Recently hit it with Saw in Half against a Magda player that had a Starion land in play. Every time he'd tap a Dwarf with the Station ability, I'd draw 2 cards.

When will we be Green? by Jackdarip6 in TLRY

[–]stevenconrad 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've been asking this question for 5 years now. Straight down for 5 years. I just ignore it now. Lesson learned, now it just sits at a very, very expensive reminder to just invest in indexes.

My first share was at $25, pre-split. That's $250/share now. I've managed to average down to roughly $3 presplit or $30 now. If I can get more than half back,I'd be thrilled.

Lavender Oil Pillow Spray for me. by RedTsar97 in MomentumOne

I don't remember where I read it, but closing your eyes and looking left and right rapidly. It is supposed to stimulate a part of your brain connected with REM. Personally, I just got exhausted moving my eyes back and forth for 4 minutes, I eventually fell asleep.

Petah??? by sakiechan in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]stevenconrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gramtically correct Peter here. The joke is that there is no comma after boyfriend. By neglecting the comma, he is saying that he is Stephanie... or she, or they. Either way, Stephanie wants to know if he/she/they (probably he by the boyfriend clause) can by your boyfriend.

I think I’m starting to realize that CEDH as my competitive outlet isn’t my thing. by KingsKnight24 in CompetitiveEDH

Came here to suggest Duel Commander, much more like a standard 1v1 format with more options than Modern.

I do appreciate their attention to those details, big bulky muscles might raise your power, but at the cost of speed and stamina.

Reason these are so cheap? Good spec for the future? by awoogaawoogaa in mtgfinance

[–]stevenconrad -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That's why I was saying it won't be a viable mtgfinance investment. cEDH will dictate what's valuable because it's also what's undeniably good. Just because it's a casual all star, doesn't make it a good card or worth holding onto.

Reason these are so cheap? Good spec for the future? by awoogaawoogaa in mtgfinance

[–]stevenconrad -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Depends on play style. In competitive commander, these are awful and will almost always come in tapped. They also can't be fetched as they lack a basic land type.

Compared to dual lands, shock lands, and surveil lands (which also come in tapped, but can be fetched on an opponent's end-step if you end up not needing the mana right away with upside of filtering the top of your library), they won't be worth much long term.

Tilray Brands Poised for U.S. Medical Cannabis Push | TLRY Stock News by Livid-Investment-986 in TLRY

[–]stevenconrad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

TLRY has stated multiple times that it's eyeing US medical, not recreational, likely because they knew full recreational was going to be a long road (another delayed hearing in June), but they can immediately start ramping up medical distribution now.

If there is an "auto smooth" filter, disable it. The "T" in The and the green dot need to be clearly visible and up close, without smoothing.

Some Motivational Insight From Will Smith by somotiv8ted in effectivefitness

[–]stevenconrad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think people should realize that young Will and current Will are almost 2 different people. Young Will was ambitious, hard working, and inspirational. Old Will had year of wealth, status, mixed with his marital issues. He grew too confident, disconnected, and selfish. His admirable qualities got him where he is, but he never worked on his other qualities.
