Sup r/spikes,

For those of you who don't already know me, that's absolutely normal as i'm pretty much a nobody at that point.

I've been wanting to write a post on this particular deck / archetype because to my absolute dismay, I haven't seen anyone else play this kind of list on the ladder.

For the background story, I hit mythic 96% a few days before Innistrad's release, and have been playing almost nothing but this particular brew since, which got me to a reasonable rank #358 (proof) as of earlier today.

The decklist

The plan is very similar to izzet turns's plan : stall the game out until you get 8+ lands, galvan

Hi !

I'm a returning player from a loooong time ago (played from around Urza to the first Rav block, but haven't touched MtG much for the last 10 years or so) trying out MTGA for the last week or so. I've been messing around with an Izzet aggro-control since I like the archetype and the few good drops I got in the beginning packs seemed to head that way (although I also like UW / UB / WB a lot).

I stumbled around for a few good decklists and tried to make something somehow consistent working from there with what I had, and currently ended up with this. Could anyone recommend good crafts to improve the list ? I'm looking at scrylands, Bonecrusher Giants and maybe a second copy of Scions, bu

Since the rules of modern chess are still a few hundred years old at most, I've been curious to know if there were opening systems that have been "discovered" or at least hugely encouraged to be played through the ~1980s and the addition of chess engine analysis advice ; or ones that completely eluded or were considered terrible by previous chess theoricists and were "rediscovered" that way.

Hi ! Forgive the bad english if there's any below.

I recently received an aNet a8M (the dual nozzle one) in kit parts and believe to have been following the proper building procedure up until the present point.

Since I wish to be really careful with that part, I figured I'd ask advice from the Internet instead of trying a wrongfully assembled printer and set my apartment on fire.

Now, there's also a likely possibility that I might have missed something in the procedure or video, so I made an imgur album to clarify the situation here. The building / mounting video provided for reference by the builder can also be found here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

Hey !

I have recently been picking up chess again after a good five or ten years of not playing (I used to be a fairly regular player at my high school + local chess clubs for a few years).

I already have some decent material - a Tartakover book, a few Youtube channels on openings, general tips and such, and I've been looking at the lichess "training mode" and puzzles - to get me started, but I'm uncertain about what to prioritize from now on besides openings and problems, as I'm completely unsure of what my level is right now (which should be sorted out after a few dozen ranked games, but still).

Are there "must read / try" resources to work towards a good overall level ?

Starting the game with Shipbuilding and 2 pop means you are able to go Foreign Trade + Settler first, get the +100% to naval units policy card and rush 2-3 quadriremes before turn 30 (with help from the production bonus to unupgraded woods), which allows you to ransack most coastal cities, capitals included, through early walls in 2-4 turns.

While getting a galley out helps a lot, you don't even technically need it to be present to capture as your early warrior can sail in from the sea with his 4 movement to do the job.

While the obvious counter is to not found cities on the coast, it might be an outright impossibility or a significant disadvantage to do so depending on the map type (Archi

Please tell me I'm not the only one experiencing that.

You already know what room I'm talking about.

The one with the freezing water pool that takes two thirds of the screen with the rightside elevator you keep getting smacked back into by the monsters above.

I don't mind the game being having its frustrating segments, but it would be really cool if it were only through gameplay elements and not losing three minutes every time for the elevator to come back.
