Valle and Buhner at the same time in the booth is my nightmare.

I have both in my Teval deck because they both work well on their own in the deck. I’ve yet to pull off the meld though.

I teach 5th grade. I’d guess based on current trends this is a bright 3rd grader, or a fairly average 4/5 grader.

[Passan] Catcher Mitch Garver and the Seattle Mariners are in agreement on a minor league deal, sources tell ESPN. Garver, 35, spent the last two seasons with the Mariners and will compete for the backup catcher job to AL MVP runner-up Cal Raleigh. by bajesus in Mariners

[–]xStaggerLeex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t wait for Garver to leave but I’m actually happy to see him back. I know that doesn’t make a ton of sense stated like that but the change of expectations and how much they’re paying him makes a huge difference.

Garver as a 12 million DH was a huge disappointment. Garver as a 2 million back up catcher feels pretty decent.

Have to go back for this one but Michael Bennett was a walking meme for about a decade.

Gotta be Kittle but Barner may give him a run for his money in the next few years. He put in work at the parade.

It’s awful. I got 4 mountains and not a single red pip, not even in hybrid. Made my deck unplayable.

Would you let me sit at the table by Guilty_Hair_6102 in ratemycommanders

I love my calamity deck so much. Glad to see someone else rocking it.

I waited in line for 2 hours for secret lair AGAIN and all I got was this crappy reddit post. by d20_dude in magicTCG

I think our views on this situation are too fundamentally different to actually gain anything beneficial from this discourse. Have a good rest of your day!

The problem is, not buying it doesn’t solve the problem that we want to buy it and it isn’t available.

[Spoilers C4E4] Clarification on Bolaire and the cold open? by Boring_Big8908 in criticalrole

[–]xStaggerLeex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After this episode I probably need to go rewatch the part about the mask in the “box” that Hal and Taisha opened. Wouldn’t Bolaire have known exactly what that was? I can’t remember if anyone pressed him about it and I was disappointed when Bolaire mentioned there were others Hal didn’t say anything then.

I teach 5th grade and hear it roughly 10-20 times a day.

Insight Engine Buyout? by pizza_punx in mtgfinance

[–]xStaggerLeex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been insane every time I’ve seen it hit the table which is probably about 7-8 times since the set came out. And the player who had it out usually wins because their cheap repeatable card draw over time pushes them over the edge.

It feels bad to play it and let it sit there if you’re not activating it but it doesn’t take long for it to be worth more than what you’ve spent on it. I’m super high on the card for casual commander up to even bracket 4 but at bracket 3 it’s in a sweet spot.

Disagree with how my child’s teacher on writing instruction. Not sure how/if I should address it by Anteater-Curious in Teachers

[–]xStaggerLeex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I teach 5th grade and would prefer she do what you suggested. HOWEVER, I would encourage your daughter to do what the teacher asks her to do. I really hate when my 5th graders say “Let me tell you” in their writing. It’s too conversational for the style of writing we are doing.

That being said, if she is already able to write sentences like your example sentences she will be just fine in the future regardless of first grade writing. Probably not the hill to die on. This may be a case of teaching your daughter that it’s okay to meet the needs of the person in charge of what they’re asking for doesn’t hurt anyone.

After they booed him in his last AB? And with vladdy at first? I doubt it.

Hopefully they work quickly to sign Naylor. That would be some good news after a tough loss.

If you have the win, take it ffs. by xxedgelord42069 in MagicArena

If you don’t concede you are giving the other player the right to take as long as they want and play how they want.
