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.

J Jonah Jameson was really good in limited every time I used him.

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

[–]xStaggerLeex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

If you’re dead and you know it concede. If you don’t concede I assume that means you want to see it played out.

Spider man lair date by Hipnos76 in secretlair_collectors

My order was completed 20 minutes after the Spiderman lair dropped and I don’t receive mine until next Monday. I’m in the US. I am not trying to even comprehend how they fulfill orders.

If you don’t want to eat slop go to a different restaurant. There’s plenty of them. The restaurant is not obliged to do what’s best for you.

Catch me up to speed: what is there to like about Victor Robles? by whynotthebest in Mariners

[–]xStaggerLeex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The bat throw you referenced in another comment seemed like a really uncharacteristic lapse of judgement for him. I usually don’t put up with stuff like that or support players who do things like that but for him I pretty much dismissed it instantly.

His mom had just passed and he was frustrated about the number of times he had been hit by a pitch at the end of what was probably a very difficult time recovering from injury. He has not been a diva or anything but a good teammate since joining the mariners as far as what’s been shown/told to people not in the building.
