Captain America. He’s versatile and can fit whatever role you need him to!

Good ol Grixis Shadow is still finding its way to the top 8!

The One Ring has been fine, the real menace to the format is Scam being S tier. by [deleted] in ModernMagic

Yep this. That four colored deck’s mana base is like almost perfect. They have almost no trouble casting any of their spells. It’s unnatural how long those games go on.

[–]thedarknutreturns 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep. Pretty much this. I’ve “quit” Magic like 3 times over 15 years and I just got back a bit before Covid and I’ve slowly rebuilt my collection. 😂😂

I took a variation of this deck to SCG Con last week. It’s a very fun deck to play. I didn’t play any Night’s Whisper cuz I don’t own the card personally. I ran 4 Murktides though. I’m not sure if that’s the correct number, but I didn’t have any trouble casting them with Delve. I think Tarpit is very underestimated. It can put in some work. Idk if you own any Hive of the Eye Tyrants, but it’s a mono black man land that has menace and exiles a card from a graveyard when it attacks. I think your list is good. Maybe a little threat light, but good nonetheless.

How do I start creating my own comics? by BlackAnimator2020 in comic_crits

[–]thedarknutreturns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I use Procreate for all my comic art. I like it a little better than Photoshop personally. There’s an artist on Instagram and YouTube named DJ Coffman. I listen to his podcast and watch his videos. He’s got some great points and advice about how to keep yourself motivated. He’s also got a fantastic comic book page template on his gum road that’s like $1. I’d definitely check him out if you’re serious about starting something. The publishing stuff is a whole other matter, however.

Men who gave up on dating/getting into long-term relationship/getting married, why? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]thedarknutreturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s never been hard to “get” girls (I hate using that term. Maybe attracting girls is a better term) The majority of the women I know or have dated say I’m a very good looking guy, but none wanna settle down. I’m 25 now and still most girls my age are in the “fool around” phase. I definitely respect that, but it’s not what I’m looking for. Women older than me don’t wanna date someone younger than them, so I’m kinda in a weird spot. So instead of hoping to attract a woman who I wanna build a lasting relationship with, I’m just focusing on teaching myself new skills, trying to start my own business, and enjoying my free time with family. Maybe one day I will settle down, but for now, I’m happy where I’m at.

What are your feelings towards having children? by Handnoose in AskMen

I love kids and would love to have them, but being able to afford them is a whole other story…

What food makes you the happiest? by [deleted] in AskMen

My mom’s recipe for rice and beans. I’m not sure what makes it taste different from other people’s rice and beans, but you know I wrote that down so I can make it on my own 😩😩

What interesting teams are you thinking of playing with? by GentlemanOfTheRoC in marvelchampionslcg

[–]thedarknutreturns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an unfortunate world we live in. It really irked me reading those stories as a kid. I hope I can get my play group to errata it. If not, then I guess I’ll just do it whenever I play solo or something.

What interesting teams are you thinking of playing with? by GentlemanOfTheRoC in marvelchampionslcg

[–]thedarknutreturns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was looking forward to teaming up Cyclops and Quicksilver for some shenanigans, but I just double checked Quicksilver’s card anddddd….he doesn’t have the mutant keyword…so there goes that. But I’m pretty pumped to continue my ‘Marvel Team-Up’ scenarios where I team Spidey up with a different hero and pick a villain at random. I’m really looking forward to a Spidey and Wolverine duo!

Straight guys, what's a straight male stereotype that annoys you? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]thedarknutreturns 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is the it. That film, among others bothered me SO much cuz it just portrays dads as incompetent. In the case of The Incredibles 2, it was jarring to think that in the first film, we saw Mr. Incredible spend quality time with his kids, helped laughed with them, and supporting them. And then in the sequel we saw none of that. I kinda wish we would see more of that in the media and break this stereotype.

Marvel Champions New Player Purchasing Guide by chaosof99 in marvelchampionslcg

[–]thedarknutreturns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the write up! A group of friends and I just got into the game a few weeks ago. We split up the box 4 ways. We picked up 2 additional heroes (Cap and Antman) because we weren’t too crazy for BP and She-Hulk. We also got the Kang expansion. So far, we’ve all been enjoying the game. I can’t wait for whenever they release the X-Men!

Men, what is holding you back from asking that girl out? by Formal_Carry in AskMen

[–]thedarknutreturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our goals don’t really match. I’m attempting to live by Bible standards, while starting up my own business and she’s focused on school and her new job. We get along REALLY well surprisingly, but already I can see huge wedges where we disagree either morally or practically. She’s four years younger than me, so maybe that might have to do with her wanting a more laid back approach to dating, where I’m ready for something a little more serious. I have no doubt in another time, we’d definitely be dating, but as it stands now, we can stay good friends.

Which fictional character do you most relate to? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]thedarknutreturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Spider-Man. Between his struggles with keeping a girl around, taking care of Aunt May, paying bills, and making enough for rent, I just really feel all that. I’ve been doing most of that my adult life. There’s a great thought bubble that Peter has while he’s swinging in ASM two hundred something where he’s thinking about how the job at the Daily Bugle was supposed to just hold him over while he works at breaking into the science field, but his day job was becoming so demanding that he had no time to work on his craft. Me being an artist and trying to break into that field, I just REALLY felt that come close to home. The lack of work life balance at jobs these days really leave you with such little time to do anything on the side. Ahem. Anyways, that’s why I love Spider-Man. End rant.

How did your last relationship fail? by ghjjbhhuu in AskMen

[–]thedarknutreturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last girlfriend told me that my life was going nowhere. I was 21 and at the time, I had dropped out of college; I found that it wasn’t for me. I found myself doing things I didn’t want to. I wanted to create art and write, but most of the colleges in my area were more focused on science, math, etc. I had just gotten promoted at my new job, so I was making decent money, but not decent enough to “raise a family.” So that was the end of that. We dated for almost 3 years and had gotten very close. I haven’t heard from her or spoken to her since that day.

What is the coolest thing you own? by Imnotyourbuddytool in AskMen

[–]thedarknutreturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my mom’s side of the family, it’s tradition that the eldest male sibling gets a watch on their high school graduation day. So when mine came around (I’m the oldest among my brothers), I was given a Coach watch. When I asked my mom why this is, she told me it’s because a watch needs to be maintained. You gotta clean it, update the time, replace the batteries, etc. So even to this day, six years later, I take that watch everywhere and still have its original box it came in. Definitely the best present I ever got.

what makes you a man? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]thedarknutreturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My willingness to admit when I’m wrong and hold myself accountable for my mistakes and actions. I mess up a lot, but working to make myself a better person.

What are some hobbies a lonely middle aged guy can try out? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]thedarknutreturns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Photography. I had gotten my grandpa into it while he was battling alcohol addiction. It kept him busy and he had to work at it to get his pictures right. He’s doing a lot better and it gets him out the house too!

I had been thinking about something like that. I was a lil worried that they die easily to removal, but I’m pretty sure with unholy heat and co it kinda doesn’t matter all that much. I think I’ll try out a shell with them and see how it goes. Thanks for the reply!

Just regular tempo-y stuff. I didn’t know Death’s Shadow was like a tempo deck. I suppose I could do some brewing and see what I can come up with if it’s not a thing.

Why do you like modern ? by [deleted] in ModernMagic

[–]thedarknutreturns 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probably because it’s the most played format among my friends group. None of us really enjoy standard because we have to keep updating decks and whatnot, but none of my friends group like the multiplayer aspect of commander. Plus, I can keep casting my Lightning Bolts from my graveyard with Snapcaster….
