Well, thanks for the advice everyone. Just placed the order, along with a monitor, which a few sites listed as a great value monitor. Wanted it to have hdmi and a relatively low refresh rate. For under 700, (about 680 altogether) I think I'm pretty happy with it. I'll probably upgrade the 8gb...

Well, they gotta save money somewhere. Considering it comes with win10, the price is hard to beat even if i built the machine myself. Assuming I paid anything close to retail for win10. My laptop has had a 120gb ssd and ive managed to get by with it as the primary drive. It's certainly...

Hey guys, I'm about to buy a PC after just using my laptop for years. I'm only trying to spend about 500-600, and I'd prefer to not build it myself. I never installed a processor before and have always been nervous about messing it up. That said, I can obviously install vid cards, ram, etc...

I don't doubt that there are cheaters at every big tournament, and that it was worse in the past. Heck, Finkel, Pikula, etc.. spearheaded that whole movement in the late 90s cause it was so bad, the judges didn't even know what to look out for. These days, I think the rampant and extreme...

@pharmakos in case you missed my post above, except maybe for a small window on saturday afternoon, it'll be hard for me to play until sunday. But, i'm free all day sunday. Also, I'm in the discord channel.

On that note, apologies in advance to whoever is my first round opponent. I'm gonna be very busy today (friday) and tomorrow. I basically just work thurs thru saturday, but I'm free all day sunday, though.

Yep! Also, sometimes you just kill the god EoT, let them put it into deck, then play your thief of sanity. You'll grab it the turn before they draw it. Did that against a U/G deck that I knew had no removal in hand, and very little in deck.

err.. the order you do them in can have profound effects on your winrate. Activating kasmina's -2 before teferi, time reveler's -3 might lose you a key card you have to loot away now. Or, choosing not to use Davriel for a turn because you think your opponent sandbagged an extra land. There's...

except... the shuffler actually was bugged prior to WAR release. One guy, Douglas, started analyzing over a million hands and found the discrepancies. But, his experiment wasn't statistically 'accurate' for a bunch of hardcore statisticians, so another one of them did it properly and confirmed...

It's not a WAR card, but I think you want some llanowar elves in there. Also, as tiggles said, frilled mystic seems pretty good in that deck. I'd cut back discovery/dispersal, Incubation/incongruity, and some of the clone effects (also, maybe run spark double instead of some of them). As for WAR...

It's not just Mary Louke, she's just the only one who went public. It sounds like Owen is just a clueless fuckboy, who thinks any girl in the mtg scene is into him cause he's so good. He's been sending unsolicited dick pics and harassing at least 3 other girls. Offering to trade mtg...

God damn hodj is such a stupid fucking troll. I took his name out of the quote, because I'm not even directing my reply to him. I know he's a lost cause, but to anyone who might have read his posts and thought 'oh, he has a point'. From the articles he linked: "It reveals that most people have...

Wait, seriously? Nice. yea, just googled it, looks like they are engaged now even.

I'm in for the next tournament, and might be interested in the monthly one with an entry fee, as well. Enzee#22070 Really hoping one of the deck ideas I have pans out. I think mono-R aggro might finally die off a bit. It'll still be played in bo1, since its cheap and easy to play, but Oath of...

You aren't.

I thought it was suggesting its more of a tangent timeline, not linear. She may not have even remembered it, but not being hungover when he called changed her opinion? I think I'm stretching on that one, they seemed to be trying to suggest she remembered something. But, the previews for next...

that's a fair point

All they've announced is it'll be back in 2020, no exact date yet of course.

Yes.. except for Kady. I've never liked her. Though, she certainly can sing..

Ah yea, ok. So, I'm combining the entire Beast arc of seasons 1 and 2 in my mind. But, the first half, with all the mystery and suspense of him, plus this entire magical world we were just scratching the surface of, was what was so great.

It was the mystery of it and the twists we got with everything. Maybe I'm mixing things from season 2 into season 1, but the entire fillory book arc, the beast, dean fogg, jane, etc.. was great. The individual characters were less likeable, but the story itself was more intriguing at that time...

I didn't hate her back then, but she certainly wasn't my favorite. She seemed to be a bitch for no reason at times. I don't know if I got used to her, or they wrote her a little more subtle lately, but right now she's one of my favorites.. is all I'll say.

Really? You don't think the logistics of pulling that off is impressive at least? Dozens of stuntmen being on fire for 10-15 seconds, dozens standing by with extinguishers. Pyrotechnic bombs. Drone cams flying around. Fuck, that shit looks cool and fun as fuck to be involved with, no matter what...

Look, I don't think any season they do will ever be as good as season 1. If you only 'kinda' liked season 1, then you may lose interest at some point. I loved the shit out of that season, and the entire world they have created, so even something that is like 70% as good, is still one of my...

Having easy access to 3 colors doesn't necessarily just make control great. It's that there is a good 4 mana sweeper, along with very few good non-creature threats or instant speed interaction available to mid range decks. The two different sweepers neuters most of the super aggro decks chances...

She was executing two 'traitors' who wouldn't pledge loyalty to her. Maybe I should have used Stannis as a more direct example, but it's all very black or white, king/queen upholding the letter of the law. I'm not saying I agree with her decision, or that it was even correct, but that the kind...

was watching his video and uhh.. Am I crazy, or does that guy look like the faceless man actor in disguise? Like, fake nose and beard.

Idk, they've really built up her good intentions all this time. Sure, she makes mistakes, has a temper, or is just inexperienced at times. But, it just feels wrong to have her suddenly turn all Cersei at the last minute. Even when she fucks up, like killing both the Tarlys, its in line with the...

heh, was watching the last two episodes of the previous season before this one came on. I forgot how good that scene was. 'That's not how it ends for you. You know who is coming for you, you've always known'. I probably messed the quote up slightly, but that was so awesome.

Yea, I was really rooting for her to start to 'fall' for him now that she has some perspective on how nice he was in comparison to all the other shit heads she's been with. Still, I don't think she was all that mean to him, considering he's part of a foreign force that is effectively coming to...

hmm

Anyone else was as excited about that opening credits scene as I was? They really changed a lot, gave us a bunch of little hints/winks at things, too. Like, at one point when its zooming through King's Landing, it shows a giant crossbow that is pointing down a hallway to a Dragon head sculpture...

I was glad to see us get some real info about the monsters recently. The whole 'the gods made them, it was a mistake' just seemed so dumb. Like, how can these gods just create something that is more powerful than them? At least being creations/kids of the OLD gods, somehow in between them and...

Well.. that episode seemed kinda uneventful. Sure, there was some nice T&A with the revelation about laura/sweeny, but no new gods and nothing really happened with the war. Or, maybe just nothing to further the overall arc happened to Shadow. It was like a bottle episode kinda. I saw the next...

So, who screen capped that scene of alice? Its ok, I won't judge... long as you post the picture.. -_-

The idea that a god only exists if people believe in them transcends literature. It's been discussed in philosophy for centuries. It's not like stealing a specific character that an author created, it's a concept. I mean, did the greek pantheon exist in Asia in 2,000 bc? The earliest we think...

Wow.. even though its not great in a tokens version of it, it still made me think about aristocrats. Between mayhem devil, grim initiate and cruel celebrant.. there's certainly some strong tools for an aristocrats deck. It's like they made stronger versions of all the non-sac outlet parts of an...

huh? He's not 'jacking it' from anything. It's a somewhat common idea. That'd be like getting mad he stole the idea of a God from the bible.
