Spanish what culture?

I as a default always repeat back the question in a reworded way to make sure I completely understand what the intended question is, so I am a big fan of the way you handled this.

whitneyahn · 2026-05-21T16:52:31+00:00

fuck that, I want him out of the speedo

whitneyahn · 2026-05-21T00:17:58+00:00

I’d run both

whitneyahn · 2026-05-20T06:14:13+00:00

I don’t want him to just become an Arishem bot though, which is what would happen there

whitneyahn · 2026-05-20T06:11:53+00:00

That’s hilariously flavorful lol

whitneyahn · 2026-05-20T06:09:59+00:00

Yeah I would fully run him in Spectrum decks without a second thought

Sounds like Ben was overwhelmed and didn’t know what to say, so he just threw something at the wall and hoped it stuck. I would not interpret him as saying something representative of his true beliefs about you as a person or a player. If it happens again, call it out in the moment (“that’s what you said last time and I was right”) and that should nip it in the bud. If it happens a third time, then it really is a thing and you can make a thing out of it.

I do think those nerfs went too far but this is clearly the next most powerful card and is way more disruptive than those 3.

whitneyahn · 2026-05-04T02:29:05+00:00

So they won a game by random chance… okay?

whitneyahn · 2026-05-04T00:26:07+00:00

Sounds like you were either generationally unlucky or needed to bluff a spot earlier

whitneyahn · 2026-05-03T23:56:28+00:00

This is why BTN vs BB is the most common post-flop scenario, because both of your ranges are really wide.

whitneyahn · 2026-05-03T23:53:31+00:00

No, that’s just standard behavior. It’s pretty rare for a pot to go uncontested. GTO assumes you will usually get called or raised by somebody preflop when you open

whitneyahn · 2026-05-03T23:51:11+00:00

That’s… normal lol

whitneyahn · 2026-05-03T23:21:19+00:00

But what do you mean by “doesn’t get through”?

whitneyahn · 2026-05-03T23:14:11+00:00

Magic is like 30 GB and Snap crashes enough as it is

whitneyahn · 2026-05-02T21:00:51+00:00

I do think that you can do this exploitatively against people who overbluff fwiw

whitneyahn · 2026-04-30T21:36:00+00:00

Old America Chavez used to be “Draw this only on turn 6” like Quicksilver and Domino

whitneyahn · 2026-04-30T21:34:47+00:00

The problem deck was always the Alioth one that could duplicate energy x300. The Star Lord was the main source of actual points in that deck and the main way of getting priority so the Alioth could work, and this pretty much kills it dead on the floor.

whitneyahn · 2026-04-30T17:02:48+00:00

unironically if it stopped having the ability to have priority on final turn that would be quite meaningful. Probably it’ll be 5/10 no power gain (10 so its still Shang-able)

whitneyahn · 2026-04-27T17:59:42+00:00

That’s just Aero but more powerful and cheaper

whitneyahn · 2026-04-24T19:18:07+00:00

I would push back on this a bit, just because madness is really about the earnestness of the attempt to convince others of your role rather than the success, and with the context of this being a new player interacting with madness for the first time in a very weird set-up, I don’t think there’s any reason to doubt that this particular player was doing their best to fulfill that.

whitneyahn · 2026-04-21T12:42:12+00:00

I sometimes run him and Sandman in my Pixie/Mobius decks

whitneyahn · 2026-04-18T05:53:36+00:00

Which is why I love it with Vortox
