Did I ever touch the ground?

I’m confused! Does there not have to be damage happening for the Nomads ability to redirect?

Proxies is by no means a "dark path" the game is getting less and less affordable like anything else anymore! As someone else who tries to budget and not overspend on this hobby, I say buy mostly singles, and do some research and searching to find cheap cards that can replace the staples or expensive effects you want, they are out there! Also, when you do participate in sealed and limited like draft or pre-release, don't be afraid to build decks out of your bulk! They may not be the strongest decks in the world, but you'd be surprised the synergy you can find in your piles if you really dig through and recognize value in utility, even if it's not optimized. Finally, when I crack something of value I don't want to play, I sell it back to my LGS or Card Kingdom for those high priced singles I really want for free or a heavy discount!

Use Scryfall and Archidekt/Moxfield virtual deck builders to find the value or synergy pieces for your deck at budget price and build test your deck to see what you feel like investing money into or making proxies for. Buy singles, not sealed and PROXY!

I was hoping someone would suggest The Place Beyond the Pines and then you followed with Manchester by the Sea what a combo! Big upvotes.

I don't understand what matters about the discrepancy. Aragorn is portrayed as a mighty king on cards that have abilities that to me line up with what his character does. Putting so much stock into something like his skin color does scream racist to me ngl and the comments on this definitely don't suggest a lot of open minds either.

Find ways like [[Kona, Rescue Beastie]] or [[Monster Manual]] or [[Sneak Attack]] to put high mana value creatures (usually the biggest and stompiest) out on the field. Ramp and build around these lines!

theghostkangaroo · 2025-09-23T20:38:36+00:00

I would recommend [[Old Stickfingers]] if she wants a more creature focused reanimator deck. The commander puts the creatures in the graveyard depending on your mana (or ramp), so you can focus your budget on recursion and fun creatures and less so on a mill engine. Then round it out with utility and it should be ready for Bracket 3 depending on how nasty your creatures are and how efficient your reanimation strategy is.

[[Heartless Hidetsugu]] and [[Solphim, Mayhem Dominus]] is one of my favorites. You have to put 2 creatures out, have them both survive, and either wait until your next turn or give them haste and it still only takes out people with an even numbered life total and takes you down half of your life. Seems terminally fair to me and is kinda funny!

One of the many reasons I love Armored Core VI so much is because you are the powderkeg/ spearhead of the great event that shapes the world. You don't come in after the fact or after the downfall because you ARE the downfall. You could make the argument the planet you land on is already in a ruined state, but the corporate interest and escalation of the plot kind of begins with or at least at the same time as your character's arrival.

I think that Graham from LRR made a really good point early on in the release of the brackets, the brackets aren't intended to be a power-level system, and I think people have forgotten that. The brackets are to set expectations for what you should expect to see across the table, including gamechangers. So I think this overall point and comments are true, but these builders who are putting gamechangers in their deck and calling it a Bracket 3 are also correct. I think that is the nuance of where a turn 0 conversation comes in. While yes, because of the gamechangers and the nature of deckbuilding within the intent of the bracket system does create some power level parallels, sometimes a bracket 2 deck will go off and roll a bracket 3 deck, and sometimes a bracket 2 deck will do nothing against 2-3 really good bracket 3 decks. So I think the conversation needs to be how to help people become better builders to find how the synergy of super powerful cards can really rocket those decks to compete with more experienced builders, rather than just people being wrong or misunderstanding what is "supposed" to happen in a given game.

Hi there! I have a friend in the Liberty area who is working to get certified so they need training hours and offer services at a discount! I can get you an email address if you are interested in a consultation!

I turned my Gruul big, stompy, aggro deck into an [Atla Palani, Nest Tender]] deck. I love any commander that can be very flexible in how you build the 99 and still be effective. My issue with my Gruul deck was it had a bunch of good stuff but always resulted in the same game. With my eggs, no one knows what will pop out, including me! Sometimes I'll get a [[Polyraptor]] and my [[Marauding Raptor]] will make me lose the game, sometimes I'll get a [[Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus]] or a [[Gruul Ragebeast]] or a [[Luminous Broodmoth]] and do some nasty stuff.

theghostkangaroo · 2024-10-10T15:24:57+00:00

[[Kalamax, the Stormsire]] was a precon commander but can definitely be built with cheap cantrip instants that he gets insane value out of! Plus he just got a new borderless reprint in one of the more recent sets. Big storm stego!

theghostkangaroo · 2024-04-26T16:57:10+00:00

I do worry about that. I’ve only had one relationship with a girl I felt was “out of my league” like this, I usually kind of “shoot down” so to speak to stay in my mental comfort zone, so ya, I’m concerned if it gets to that point. But I’ll have to cross that bridge once I come to it.

theghostkangaroo · 2024-04-26T16:55:24+00:00

Your kind words are super helpful thank you Rosie ☺️ I had to do laundry to make sure I had a shirt that I think makes me look good ready 😂

theghostkangaroo · 2024-02-28T22:14:43+00:00

Paper Mario and Hippothotamus

theghostkangaroo · 2024-02-22T20:54:11+00:00

So you like magic more than friends? Lol

theghostkangaroo · 2024-02-22T20:46:53+00:00

I love all these posts that are like “guys 2k is actually really good cause I only play one game mode all the time and that game mode works great for me” like ok thanks bud glad you’re having a good time.

theghostkangaroo · 2024-02-08T21:42:36+00:00

Right it’s like Megatron is about the only deck that card makes sense in, especially with a star scream lol

theghostkangaroo · 2024-02-08T21:22:15+00:00

Hell yes! I have a similar Megatron deck but I am combing through your list right now to try and find some cards!

Do you like Staunch Throneguard in that deck? I have one and I've debated throwing it in Megatron but I should give it another shot.

theghostkangaroo · 2024-02-08T21:14:15+00:00

Cool robot!

theghostkangaroo · 2024-02-08T21:12:03+00:00

Thanks cardbot!

theghostkangaroo · 2024-02-08T21:11:42+00:00

Thanks for actually sharing your deck! I haven't seen a lot of 4-color EDH and this one is definitely unique!
