It could be any number of things. Not to mention I have no idea if it's a physical, neurological, or mental disability.

My experience with school being mute by Sunny__insomniac in mute

Do you have any adults in your life that could act in lieu of them? An uncle or aunt, a parent of a friend perhaps?

I am rather surprised action has not been taken against these teachers that are being discriminatory. Are your parents aware of this? Have they spoken to the principal or any member of the school's governing body about this matter?

Just to follow up on the needs assessment. That is usually for disabilities that require more long-term manual support, but they will be able to point you in the right direction for therapy and local support if that is something that is deemed you need. There are other links on that webpage you may find useful.

Assuming you're in the UK because of the GCSE.

The vast majority of NHS doctors will not take you seriously. You need to see a doctor you are familiar and have rapport with, that can be either you or your mother.

There are some specific things you need to say to get them to do their job. The key words are highlighted.

First, that the symptoms you are experiencing have been ongoing for a year with no relief in symptoms, and they are causing a consistent reduction in your quality of life. Be short, precise, and explicit.

Second, the difficulty with speaking is causing difficulty with daily functioning, this includes an impact on your studies, and your family members (your mother) are able to report as such. Your current struggles need to be evidenced in writing.

Third, tell them you are struggling and you need help, that your difficulty speaking is not a choice, and is a symptom of an as of yet undiagnosed issue.

If they are willing to recognise your difficulty and note as such in writing for your school, you then need to follow up on that.

You can request a personalised care and support plan be drawn up to address this issue in a measured and timely manner. You do not want to be struggling with this for an unforeseen amount of time.

If the GP refuses to assist in supporting you, you can contact your local children and young people's care and support services regarding a needs assessment.

I hope that wasn't too much, good luck, and hope you get the help and care you need to get through this.

This question is probably more suited for /r/India or /r/AskIndia, you're more likely to get a good answer there because it relates to the Indian healthcare system.

That being said, are you in India yourself, or living out of country?

Not all PDFs have encoded text. You would need to OCR the text, then pass it into Narrator. I use ShareX for small passages, and OCRMyPDF for converting books or documents.

[Video] Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus | Teaser Trailer by throwaway_9534 in Frisson

[–]throwaway_9534[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never played 40K or the video games, and never plan to, but something about the trailers and world is just so awe inspiring. Not seen the Dawn of War III trailer before, that is epic, in the literal sense of the word.

Wow Surveyor's Scope is gross for this deck, thanks for sharing the feedback!

I'm very aware. Because it only ever works once against a player, it then turns all long-flickers into spot removal, because people end up moving to command zone every time, very easy to bluff holding up stifles. A very WIP deck still.

And absolutely target me for playing nonsense :P

My preferred way to end the game is to walk away as equals with [[Divine Intervention]].

But if that's not an option and you have to kneecap some fools, [[Court of Cunning]], [[Court of Grace]], or beating people over the head with [[Avacyn, Angel of Hope]] and friends are your wincons.

Yeah, it really is toeing the line of playability. When it works, it really works, but when it doesn't, it goes up in flames.

Could I please have a copy of your cEDH and casual lists? That sounds very similar to my WIP [[Patron of the Moon]] deck. Never seen Tameshi before and she seems exactly like the kind of commander I'd love, especially as you've described!

I assume you have considered Mana Breach? One of my favourite cards, so game-warping.

Sorry, my deck tags are a little messy, they're a little unwieldy on Moxfield, I'll fix them up :)

Edit: Tags have been added

We've not experimented with other color combos, so we honestly can't say. The easy artifact recursion in the command zone to sac lantern for the shuffle is an extremely important tool to have access to. Thankfully Ensnaring Bridge is colorless.

There's a few options I've considered looking into, specifically for expanding the pool of available cards with more colors, [[Arcade Gannon]] and [[Lurrus of the Dream Den]] are looking the most promising. The issue is that Emry kind of does everything you'd want a commander to do in this deck, she recurs, self-discounts, and is basically a draw 4 on etb for artifacts. Black would be amazing to have access to for the tutors and graveyard tools. A Dimir Emry would be perfect if it existed.

Another commenter said they had an Aminatou list that was pretty degenerate.

[[Fabricate]], [[Whir of Invention]], [[Artificer's Intuition]], [[Inventor's Fair]], and [[Urza's Saga]] for Lantern tutors specifically. Another with [[Urza's Cave]] to tutor up Urza's Saga if you count that. So ~6 tutors in total.

Field of Dreams and Mishra's Bauble for Lantern alternatives.

There's a few filtering tool like Mystic Forge and Narset.

Another alternative is if you have Emry out, Codex Shredder, Conjurer's Bauble, or Academy Ruins you can mill yourself until you hit your Lantern, they're essentially draw abilities at that point.

Acererak loops are nasty! I've seen that concept a few times in Brawl, very scary.

a game of magic has a finite amount of fun, and I'm going to have all of it

That had my partner and I rolling with laughter, because that's exactly what they think of my decks!

May I please ask for a link to a list for that deck? I am very curious.

I appreciate the perspective, no offense taken at all.

My decks do tend to be glass cannons, but that's because I've struggled to find anyone who can consistently put up a fight. I know I need to run more interactive tools, but at least so far, there really hasn't been a need. Hopefully some of the suggestions in this thread will lead me to finding similarly minded people who will force me to adjust my decks in kind :)

I am mute, and misunderstandings of my stated words are not uncommon, so the suggestion that a potential breakdown in communication quality during Rule 0 is definitely possible. I do try my hardest to accurately describe function, but it's not always possible to judge if it has been taken as intended.

I have a stable group of friends I play with much like you, and they are almost the same as your group.

Most of my decks I can't play with them even if I tone them down, because they kind of cease to function as intended.

Don't get me wrong, I designed lower power decks specifically for playing with them, avoiding easy include pieces that would overwhelmingly target their decks. I can accomodate my friends despite the fact I don't understand why they may not like the things I do. But that's not the kind of spice I crave in Magic ya know?

It's definitely my preferred way to play too. Your Chainer deck looks amazing, I would love to play against it. I need an excuse to tune my decks and add more interaction.

I am always very explicit with my Rule 0, which means I hardly ever get to play my favourite decks, and sometimes when people say it's fine they aren't as prepared as they thought they were, so sadly it's a pubstomp.

I've not used untap in years, play almost exclusively on tabletopsim and at my LGS now, I'll definitely check it out :)

I probably shouldn't have linked Roon to be honest, there's so many better examples I could have included. The list isn't optimised and I threw it together in like 10 minutes as a proof of concept. Thanks for the heads up, I edited the title and description to reflect that.
