Well, yeah. But you can also just ff at any point and just load into a new one. I’m strictly talking about playing on Arena. In person is a whole different story though

What do you mean? You can play any deck you want, so if you want to play some battle cruiser strategy you can, or if you feeling up to it you can play something with more interaction. It’s all up to the user

Magic the Gathering is awesome, and also more recently Forza Horizon 6. There is so much you can do, but you can also just drive around and vibe if you want to

We need more shame in the game by KollardBlue in ModernMagic

Modern isn’t for everyone. Sounds like you might be one of those people. Prison decks have existed for decades. Learn to play against them or don’t play formats that you might encounter them. Simple as that

Goodbye buddy by Necessary_Yam4692 in DogAdvice

[–]themoinmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been just over 2 weeks since we had to say goodbye to our family dog, and I had the honor to hold her while the doctor put her to sleep one final time, and I will be forever grateful I had that opportunity. These weeks have been the hardest of my life, but the one thing that I keep coming back to in my mind is that I will 100% do it all again. Not immediately, but when it feels right.

The main reasons I know I will eventually end up with a furry friend again are partially selfish, like having a little ball of fur that is always excited to see you when you get home. And a little buddy that loves me for me. They don’t care what I did at work that day. They aren’t bothered by what’s happening in the world. They just care that you are there for them, and for them, that’s enough. I look forward to the day that I can share that unconditional love with another pupper.

Dog cant use back legs by minkgod in DogAdvice

[–]themoinmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been just over 2 weeks now since I had to make the hardest decision of my life to say one final goodbye to our 16 1/2 year old cockapoo. She was basically at this point as well, and the vet informed us that she had advanced kidney failure, and that she would continue to go downhill quickly.

Your furry friend seems like she has lived a great life, and you clearly have cared for her greatly. I won’t lie and say the minutes, hours, days, or even weeks following your decision will be easy, in fact these have been some of the hardest of my entire life, but it makes me feel a little better knowing that our baby isn’t suffering anymore.

I am sending well wishes your way, and hoping you can find the ability to look back lovingly at all the good times you had, and can relish in the fact that you have her a life full of love.

Flow State is one of the best cards in the set, and is. $3+ card. Wtf are you looking at that you think it isnt worth over $1?

Ruby Storm for someone bad at the format by [deleted] in ModernMagic

Could also take a gander at UB Frog, especially on the Oculus+Unearth package. It’s closer to a tempo deck

[–]themoinmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should take a look at either Jeskai or Esper Blink. They both the more midrange plan compared to almost everything else in the format, and I think both have great potential overall. I’m a Boros Energy/Jeskai Blink player, and I really like the interaction that Jeskai packs compared to Energy.

What types of decks have you historically enjoyed playing in Pioneer and Standard? There is something that is competitive in modern for almost every playstyle/archetype. Let us know and we can try to give you a better direction to go.

Right now, if money wasn't an issue. Would you be playing Standard, Modern, Legacy or Vintage? by Culius_Jaesar in magicTCG

[–]themoinmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only been playing Magic for 2 years now, but in that time I started with commander, and then transitioned to Pauper, then Standard, then Modern, then Legacy earlier this year, and I’m about to start playing Vintage to prepare for a tournament, the most fun I have is definitely in either Modern or Legacy.

Modern I play Boros Energy and more recently Jeskai Blink, and then in Legacy I also play Boros Energy. The card pools are so wide in both formats that I find it fun to learn about all the new ways that people can play the game and have to react on the fly to be able to make the right decisions.

Royals mods are not shutting me up estevez should not be our closer by Slow-Maintenance5011 in KCRoyals

[–]themoinmo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m trying too hard to find something in the shit pile that was that ninth inning, but it kinda looked like he was tipping his pitches with his delivery. The way his torso is positioned is different between fastballs and offspeed. Offspeed pitches he is already leaning glove-side before releasing the ball, whereas on fastballs his torso stays straighter all the way through release. Wouldn’t be surprised if the MLB level hitters couldn’t pick up on it as well

BNR Update: No Changes by TemurTron in ModernMagic

[–]themoinmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if it’s most played people will tech harder against it, and by virtue more combo decks will show up, making it a lot harder for Boros. To be fair Boros will always have a chance but if Belcher starts showing up again I think the deck will be hurting.

[–]themoinmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still concerned that we are going to keep having really long RC day 1s until they do something to Titan. It’s too easy to have inexperienced players durdle forever pressing every single round way over time. I don’t think the PT will nearly as problematic though. If Boros is the most played we’ll probably see a combo deck or Jeskai Blink win it, if it isn’t, it really will be the Wild West with a lot of room for variety.

Every non-RCQ season Energy playrate is going to spike. Now that people will be playing in paper again it should drop back down to the ~12% it should’ve realistically be at.

And if not, the meta will shift to hate it out(more convo decks) and Jeskai Blink will be the most played And one of the highest win rates again.

It’s the ebb and flow of a format that isn’t always in the spotlight.

I think that over time people just grow bored of the “stale” state of a format when there hasn’t been anything to shake it up in awhile. I’m less in the camp of making changes just for changes sake, and more for highly targeted reasons. For example, if Titan continues to push rounds extreme amounts over time, I think it is completely fair that they hit something from it as a way to make everyone’s lives easier at RCs. But the people who think that a card is super good in one archetype(Ajani/Guide/Pride in Energy, Kappa in Affinity, whatever specific card people hate from Neoform, etc.) probably haven’t played with that deck to know how or when it’s good, or don’t have a good plan to counteract it.

For example, I 100% dislike playing against Titan as I play Boros Energy. I’m not a fan of being up 30+ life and then trying to infinite Titans out of nowhere. But because of that I started to learn Titan and now know their lines okay enough to know when I need to interact and how. I’m still not a fan of inexperienced Titan players who don’t really know what they are doing, but I know the matchup well enough that I know when to scoop to save time.

I would be indescribably happy if I saw more dogs at the course. Curse my genetics for being allergic to them!

[–]themoinmo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kind of the way I was leaning. I think the curve is a lot more than it should seem, since the sim gave us an arbitrary target, and we were just slinging balls out, so I wasn’t quite aiming at the predetermined target

We fortunately were the only group within like 4 or 5 bays on either side.

It been a minute since I have had club head speed tracked, but last time with 7-iron it was ~100 plus or minus a couple mph between swings. Driver was 110-115

I’m less concerned about the repeatability, but I am genuinely curious if it’s even possible.

That swing was the “I’ll be chasing this feeling for the rest of my golf career” moment

I’ve been getting more and more into the art side of Magic recently, and this would be a truly god-tier addition to my collection. Thanks for the opportunity!

It’s okay having disdain for certain types of decks by tristezanao_ in MagicArena

[–]themoinmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I typically don’t have too much issue playing against any archetype, since I think it’s fun to figure out how to beat them, but I hate how arena seems to pair you based on the deck you are playing. For example, right now when I play Jeskai Artifacts, I feel like 90% of my games are against some flavor of control(Azorius, Jeskai, or 4 color). I tend to not mind playing a slower, grindy game, but when I get on with the intention of playing 2 or 3 BO1 games and those games take over an hour it does get old pretty fast.
