Nov 30, 2017Severance328 posted a message on If You Can't Take Criticism of Jeremy Hambly, You're Part of the Problemjesus christ i thought that maybe mtgsalvation was the one platform i didn't have to constantly fight with sjws on but i guess nothing lasts foreverPosted in: Articles
christ this is the problem though isn't it...the stupid pointless tribalism in my favorite gaming community.
one person makes a stink when they leave and suddenly its the biggest deal in magic, but y'know what there are a ton of people who leave every single day and its not because they were harassed by Nazis...it's because they have a dissenting opinion AND YOU CALL THEM NAZI!!!! And then you all do this virtue signalling crap to say "Oh look what all you did you made a cosplayer leave the community" and those of us who had nothing to do with it have to sit back and take being called nazis by articles like this, And then the writer not only has the audacity to say that the majority of the community is a bunch of rightwing militants and that we're not aloud to be mad that she called us that but has to be ashamed of ourselves
Now to adress a HUGE ******* PROBLEM with this article the utter closed mindedness. I'm not a Nazi i hate Nazis' and i disagree with them but the problem here is what you said about "Nazi Sympathy" Now do i think that actual Nazi Sympathizers who go "well i mean maybe Hitler is okay to kill the jews" (looking at you Edward VIII) is acceptable? of course not however, Understanding that these are people, with an opinion and a thought process just as valid as your own is absolutely necessary if you intend to change their mind you can't make anyone your full enemy if you hope to redeem them. These people are americans they get a say even if we don't like it the only thing we can do is change how they thik and the only way to do that is in small steps with sympathy for their mistake. I doubt thats what you meant but it's very dangerous to tell people to remove sympathy they share with people....use your head
If you want to claim that writing an article attacking conservative minded players is okay and isn't comparable to harassing other groups of players because of identity then i have bad news for you it's the same damn thing You Demonize every one who is different, and it's not because they're women or because of their skin its because of what they think!! and yet you want to point the finger at us when the company who makes our game misrepresents us. you think we didn't notice Spike, Tournament Grinder, now i've been playing for almost ten years i've known a fair number of tournament grinders/spike players i've known maybe two women who fit that description the majority are Large guys with beards, not stereotypical hipster punky lebians
now writing this it hit me "oh god...this is gamergate again isn't it? they've decided that videogaming is too big and now it's us" good god we can't do a #MagicGate it would kill the game...sales are already nose diving the game can't take controversial crap for the love of god if you possibly cared about magic the gathering you wouldn't write this inflammatory crap please don't ruin this site please don't ruin this game....i won't lie it sucks to hear about players leaving the game but it happens. pointing fingers and saying "these people are the problem" isn't going to help anybody all it does is stir up pointless arguments and fights
This was mostly a rant and not the most well construcred argument and i think i might have a higher word count than the article itself LOL but seriously the only thing i hae left to say i guess is this....This is a game it's an awesome game the people who play it are pretty cool... all of them with all their different opinions and different backgrounds we can't start attacking each other if you get mad at someone then just remember, we're all here to play and if you want to beat someone then beat them on the table not with words and not with aggression. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
unless slobad has, since we last saw him ignited or handed it off to someone who could take it away from mirrodin because jesus we don't need the phyrexians to have the mirari, of course i could be totally wrong and the goblins destroyed it forever ago but i would definitely say that it's plausible
4x Pull From Tomorrow
4x Torment of Hailfire
4x Sram's Expertise
4x Inspiring Statuary
4x Implement of Examination
2x Growing Rites of Itlimoc
4x Servo Exhibiton
4x Prophetic Prism
4x Cogworkers Puzzleknot
2x Renegade Map
4x Evolving WIlds
4x Spire of Industry
4x Survivor's Encampment
4x Plains
2x Island
2x Swamp
4x forest
SO The Main pint is to go really wide and torment of Hailfire for a ridiculous amount i don't know if it's even good but this seems fun at least
Dude i have four harnessed lightning four lightning strike and four abrade thats like all the removal man and again entity is versatilei don't know how i feel about the scorpion god thing either but i don't have much more removal
2x Bloodwater Entity
4x Deeproot Champion
4x Soul-Scar Mage
Spells:
4x Attune with Aether
4x Harnessed Lightning
4x Lightning Strike
4x Cartouche of Knowledge
4x Chart a Course
4x Blossoming Defense
4x Dive Down
4x Aether Hub
4x Evolving Wilds
5x Forest
5x Island
4x Mountain
I know removing Bloodwater entity was recommended but i think that it's one of the most versatile cards in this deck, it's a flyer with prowess it returns one of our pumps or a card draw, or removal or even a land with attune with aether it can be really helpful so i've decided we're keeping at least two
now that thats a thing lets start working on that sideboard using some meta and some of your guys' advice
4x Negate
3x Ceremonious Rejection
2x Blazing Volley
1x The Scorpion God
1x Swamp
4x Abrade
4x Bloodwater Entity
4x Deeproot Champion
4x Soul-Scar Mage
4x Spellweaver Eternal
Spells:
4x Blossoming Defense
4x Dive Down
4x Invigorated Rampage
4x Chart A course
4x Lightning Strike
4x Attune with Aether
2x Larger than life
4x Aether Hub
4x Evolving Wilds
4x Mountain
4x Forest
4x Island
So this Deck wants to be very Aggressive but is more than capable of playing it defensively until ready to smash. Since our curvetopper is 3 we're sitting at 18 lands with 4 Attunes for fixing and such, Deeproot champion is our MVP but the other creatures all have prowess so they can help with our aggressive game, Our sideboard has a lot of options, but we do have to keep our land count in mind as we develop that. I've thought a few different cards that could be put in but i would like to hear others ideas as well
In general i agree playing to win can be fun but turn 5 swinging your 64/64 khalonia hydra at the player stuck at 2 lands isn't much fun for anyone. Commander is designed to be a casual format with interesting interactions playing to win asap can take that away from anyone. sure you can infinite combo turn three but will anyone want to play with you again, hell no. because at that point your creating a toxic lack of interaction. Playing the game to play the game, winning in cool ways that make the other players go "hey i've never seen that before" thats where commanders heart is not with winning asap just to win
