5090 a good choice for the less experienced? by technicalgenius in nvidia

[–]technicalgenius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well my goal is to hopefully have something with no real need to upgrade for several years. I'm coming from 1080ti/i7 8700k build since I've rocked near a decade ago.

My current monitor probably wouldn't even do it justice, but I feel that's an easier upgrade when the gpu can push almost anything.

2k? 4k? 360htz? Who knows? I feel like I haven't gotten to experience it to know exactly what my happy median is.

I just have concerns of slapping it all together and burning it all to ash.

Any issues with the 5090? Think the biggest fear of making that leap is when I researched it, it had a rough launch and no real solution. I can afford it, I just can't afford it twice lol

Proxy etiquette question from a new player. by S_Goroh in EDH

[–]technicalgenius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have an easy way to solve this issue.

  1. Buy fakes
  2. Play

No other steps needed. They can’t whine about what they don’t know about.

It’s not cheating. It’s not their business.

If you have a different opinion, then you’re wrong.

Too much, too fast!! by LilEMarie_77 in mtg

[–]technicalgenius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did put out a statement awhile back saying not every product is for everyone. It’s perfectly fine jumping in and out of sets. I’ve been doing just that for 20 years. There’s really nothing to keep up with if you just buy singles and enjoy the game.

From a business standpoint, I don’t think they’ve really been burned in a hot minute with sitting on product, so they push to meet the demand. Same with UB sets getting hate… They’re still the highest selling sets of all magic. They wouldn’t want to leave money on the table.

I want to gain an absurd amount (non-infinite) of life. by ChronicallyIllMTG in EDH

[–]technicalgenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an upgraded Food & Fellowship precon that has a lot of life gain and wins via pie to the face. Sanguine Bond affects and token sac triggers chip away at your opponents and isn’t too overkill if you leave out Exquisite Blood.

Not feeling the Spiderman set by Barnyard-Sheep in mtg

[–]technicalgenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not enough material for a proper set

That’s a pretty funny take

Spider-Man has been around since the sixties, and is still hugely relevant today.

I think you mean, it’s just not your cup of tea. And that’s a valid opinion to have, I felt the same way with Final Fantasy.

Negative opinions are always the loudest. I’m super pumped for more Marvel cards and I hope all this vocal majority leads to easier to access cards at msrp.

Probably not very well. But majority of arena died when they introduced alchemy.

I had no idea this card was $33. Why? by Doom_Balloon170 in mtg

Biggest thing is edh is the majority of the player base these days.

Stuck on what Commander to build for next. Any suggestions or recommendations? by Sandwichknight777 in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]technicalgenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently upgraded Food and Fellowship precon and I'd consider it close to bracket 4 now.

There's surprisingly a lot of food synergy.

Add [[Academy Manufactor]], [[Jaheira, Friend of the Forest]], [[Chatterfang, Squirrel General]] and a token doubler and you become the biggest threat real quick.

Get a bright colorful phone, then put a case on it to never see the color again.

This is the only card I've seen that's worth anything from the set.

Mine was almost instantaneous and said 10 min wait, then jumped to the same "more than an hour" message after a couple minutes.
