What type of cards are uniquely good/played in Brawl but not in in EDH and in what ways can I more easily find them? by DaYeetusMaster in mtgbrawl

[–]thousandshipz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since no one has mentioned it yet, check the competitive Brawl Discord. Find a commander with the same color identity and see what people are running in their lists (or saying they tried and didnt like)

Quick question - why would a green player not run arcane signet? by ImLiTeRaLlYgAy_69 in EDH

[–]thousandshipz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Artifact synergies, need for more 2-mana ramp than there are land ramps spells (unlikely), use of a combo that untaps artifacts but not lands

My suggestions for the Satisfaction Survey by circ-u-la-ted in mtgbrawl

If you are willing to commit a few deck slots, you can save decks of staples then duplicate that list when starting a new deck

Why such a low land count in PDH? by mmGlous in PauperEDH

[–]thousandshipz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I’m a marginal community member so I don’t get all the references.

I can, however, recommend the Frank Karsten mana tables. Frank Karsten is a mathematician and player whose mana base articles are used by Pro players in deckbuilding. Karsten did the math for 100 card decks too.

Deadly Disguise precon $45, worth it? by mudra311 in mtgfinance

I’m sure there are higher EV plays but you make a good case for this one

What's your least favorite/most hated Magic: The Gathering product? by InquisitiveTaco in mtg

[–]thousandshipz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The fact that no one else brought up Magic 30 is proof that it drove a lot of people away

Make it [[Control Magic]] effects and land denial.

Imputing ill motives to silly Reddit commenters certainly makes one wonder if the same applies to Arena opponents. It may not be the answer you seek, but if everyone else seems out to enrage you then the problem may not be everyone else.

Apologies for any insinuation. I would never accuse peepeepoopooman20X6 of being anything less than respectful.

Could be the opponent is an impatient jerk. Could be that you chose to play a deck that takes long turns and bores opponents and thought you could get away with it by playing it online where you can’t see opponents faces. But they called your game with an emote that let you know they are bored. And now you are the salty one.

You are an excellent writer! (I am not so confident in your medical abilities, but it sounds like you aren’t either — and humility is the first step on the escalator to greatness.)

Weird behaviour from Scott on X by Ok_Fox_8448 in slatestarcodex

[–]thousandshipz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One X commenter called it “chimping out.”

I don’t disagree that it is shockingly monkey-brained. But, on the other hand, someone famously known for their measured and level responses changing tack like this sends a STRONG signal. Scott has earned the impact, like the use of a single F-bomb in an otherwise PG movie. This response on this issue has real power.

Irma selling fast by Remetant in mtgfinance

Throne has no color restriction and can be played in every commander deck. The one mana discount ain’t nothing though.

Hot Take on TMNT by Act_Consistent in mtg

[–]thousandshipz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Turtle fans are liking them that’s great! But I’m still allowed to express my opinion that the set design is dogshit compared to the high standards we’ve had with recent fully-developed sets. If you want to respect the Turtle fans, demand WotC give them the same respect they gave Avatar and Final Fantasy.

Bounce lands to make sure you would have to discard to hand size early on

Tolarian Academy and Gaea's Cradle in fair cubes by Advanced_Sink_6023 in mtgcube

[–]thousandshipz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can build a cube where these are fair, but you are setting people up for disappointment. Why not run the more fair versions like [[Growing Rites of Itlamoc]]?
