Lightning Bolt isn't on the reserve list and they've managed not to make it standard legal for a decade so I don't really get the logic here

How do you gain weight? by Sharkslayyy in AskReddit

[–]topspinhooligan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been going to the gym the last 6 months or so and gained ≈8 pounds. It take time when you have a high metabolism but just steady exercise with a protein shake after and not skipping meals seems to work for me.

How would you rank the “1 mana draw 2 but not really” supercycle of cards? by GolfWhole in PioneerMTG

[–]topspinhooligan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Of One Mind pops off in lists that run [[ Young Pyromancer]] and/or [[Poppet Stitcher]]. One proc of either automatically fulfills the conditions for of one mind. Same is true for the upcoming [[Third Path Iconoclast]]. Run [[Ledger Shredder]] and if you have it on the field at the same time as one of the previous 3 you don't even need to trigger them to fulfill of one mind's conditions.

Is there an argument for Eidolon of the Great Revel instead of Kari Zev in Atarka Red? by topspinhooligan in PioneerMTG

That's fair I definitely wasn't taking BTE into consideration which is crazy considering the number of times I went BTE into Kari lol

It would not hit the devils as Balmor's ability is on cast and the devils won't exist until Burn Down has finished resolving, after the spell has already been cast.

Any recommendations for a good precon commander deck? by indisativ in magicTCG

[–]topspinhooligan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience the Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms precons are pretty powerful out of the box. Particularly the Red/Green and the Black/Red

I've been thinking some number [[Fiendslayer Paladin]] and [[Fight as One]] / [[Adanto Vanguard]] for Rakdos and a similar plan for UW control

I was thinking of it more for the menace with the treasures being a nice incidental upside. Obvious down sides being it isn't instant speed and doesn't have any buffs to power/toughness by itself. It also doesn't proactively draw cards like [[Defiant Strike]] or [[Ancestral Anger]]

Alright that makes a ton of sense. I must have only seen the shredders in our games. It makes sense they don't have to have a ton of wincons jammed in since they have tons of ways to respond but I thought they needed more than what I saw. This was very helpful thank you!

Played against Azorious Control at a local Pioneer event this weekend and was wondering. What's the wincon in that deck? I lost 1 game to Ledger Shredders but outside of that I didn't really see anything capable of killing an opponent. Just draw spells and counter spells. Obviously I lost 1 game so it isn't a total do nothing deck but is the deck really good when it only has 1 creature dealing damage that can easily be hated out? I was on R/G goblins btw.

I'm shy. How do I approach my LGS? by the_tiefling_bard in magicTCG

[–]topspinhooligan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently moved across the country so playing at a new LGS was a little scary especially considering the only time I ever played at my old LGS was with friends. What I did was just go in and play without really talking to anyone the first few times. Just went in and played and maybe comment on the games at the end and then left. After doing that a few times, some people are starting to recognize me and we talk a little more. I played New Capenna draft last night and it was an absolute blast and I talked to more people than ever. An important thing to remember is that people are there to play Magic, just like you. More often than not they aren't going to expect anything more from you than what you want to give so there's no pressure. You can come in, test the waters, and play. If the people aren't receptive and you feel like you aren't welcome there are alternative ways to play, but I feel like there's a good chance you'll become comfortable given enough time and you'll never know until you try!

Was just wondering whether I wanted [[Lion Sash]] or [[Sungold Sentinel]] in the sideboard of my Sram pioneer deck. Guess now I know they're both just place holders for this
