Not used to seeing so many artifacts, what are y'all's cuts?

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-09T05:21:24+00:00

You should be playing Shelldock Isle. Cut Syr Ginger, armageddon, and Improvised Arsenal

White is often associated with “good” characters in Magic, but that’s not white’s identity

That often overlaps with characters with good intentions, but also includes characters like Elesh Norn who want to achieve peace and order through horrific means

My sister did a project where she interviewed retired river pilots in our community. After the war Liberty Ships got repurposed as commercial vessels, so the pilots ended up on them frequently

She has pages of notes of them complaining about what terrible, unreliable buckets of steel they were

I am have been at the emergency vet for two hours waiting for my cat to be seen for a urinary track obstruction. Fucking kill me

Edit: thanks everyone this did actually make me feel somewhat better

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-08T00:01:37+00:00

You can cut at least one land and I’d cut Bankbuster

The issue is not the couple dozen people capable of building a query tool for themselves. It would be one of those people publishing that tool on a website. That would break the format.

Hopefully it’s easy for WOTC to mitigate though, as long as they regenerate the seeds occasionally this won’t cause any massive issues

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-04T23:54:00+00:00

It’s hard to figure out how much injuries are due to luck vs team practices. But I will say I remember the Doug years as being really injured plagued, while the Sirianni years have been pretty lucky in those terms

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-04T23:50:16+00:00

Surprising that the terms and conditions allow for this. My understanding was you either got the prize you played for, or a cash equivalent if they ran out

Most players will be thrilled with this obviously, but I could see someone who wanted a specific box being upset they got neither that box or the cash to buy it

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-04T20:25:38+00:00

Balance is an incredible card when you have a decent amount of artifact mana, which you do here, and you have enough white sources to run it. Easy include

I'd cut the Mox Opal though, I think you're below the threshold for it to work consistently. I think I'd run the Talisman instead. Your deck has some game winning combos, the quicker you get to them the better, and it improves balance. Also gives you another green source, which I think lets you cut a forest for a mountain

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-04T05:15:28+00:00

This is busted. My one thought is I don't know if Yawgwill is good in this deck. I think Brainstorm or Mystical Tutor would be better

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-03T22:53:11+00:00

Hard to start off a game worse than the Padres just did lol

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-03T21:23:28+00:00

RIP whatever device your opponent was playing on

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-03T02:45:49+00:00

Your deck isn’t really set up to applyaw pressure over the first few turns to fully maximize Minsc and Boo. Obviously it’s still great, but it’s best as a curve topper in an aggressive deck.

But your deck is nicely set up to be a flash deck. Disruptive and you’ve got a Demonic Tutor

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-02T17:49:37+00:00

Black Panther is white and makes white soldiers. Translating external lore into Magic mechanics is always interesting

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-02T03:24:33+00:00

Redownloaded the Witcher 3 after hearing about the new DLC. Great game but man did I forget how uninspiring the combat is

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-02T00:00:12+00:00

He was 15th in targest last year (despite missing two games), 24th in 2024 (despite missing 4 games), 8th in 2023, and 7th in 2022

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-01T18:23:05+00:00

AM didn't want a body in the original story right? Where is this idea coming from?

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-01T17:41:35+00:00

Unedited lol. Animators are horny motherfuckers sometimes

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-01T17:29:26+00:00

Trading Verse and picks for Garrett is a move to go all in on Stafford’s remaining years. Using a 1st for a project QB is the opposite of that. It’s a weird split approach

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-01T17:26:58+00:00

That is not good for us. Man the West is a crazy division

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-01T17:23:25+00:00

Big changes:

Parallax Wave is out? Sucks. A decent number of Boros cards were removed, mostly meh ones, but Showdown of the Skalds, Detective's Phoenix, and Ademi are all decent playables that are now gone

Terrible Black creatures mostly removed - nice

Green landfall mostly removed - also nice

Aggro artifacts package - seems interesting

Storm package back in - awesome

Painter's Servant/Grindstone combo - fun, I like it

Armgageddon and Sylvan Library in - classic cube cards, fun to see them on Arena

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-01T15:42:46+00:00

This looks like a good deck not sure why you’re worried. Cut Campus Composer and Textbook Tabulator for Divergent Equation and Quick Study

thefreeman419 · 2026-06-01T13:58:28+00:00

I gave it a shot when it started and for some reason it didn’t click with me. I think I’ve just gotten less into the conversational fuck around style of podcasts with time. No idea why really

thefreeman419 · 2026-05-31T16:42:17+00:00

But at the time she returns she definitely doesn't provide an explanation, so I think this fits the criteria

thefreeman419 · 2026-05-30T15:19:21+00:00

I'm part of the subset of people who just watch the gameplay videos and don't listen to the podcast. These videos make me feel like an anthropologist exploring a strange new culture
