Got a friend who's looking for a job but everyone in the vincinity has 10+ years of experience in her field so she doesn't even get interviews after applying. Says she's bored to death and can't even go out because no money.

Dang that sucks. In my field being overqualified is more of the issue. I do a lot of travel to my job locations but sometimes other people don't have the luxury of moving to where the work is. =|

I think the Oneplus One is probably like the best phone for cost on the market, but it's too large for me.

What is your IGN on League Ketara? I just played with a Plat Lux main who carried my ass. Not sure if it was you by chance

Edit: As wild as the chance would seem. I got matched with Shake once so I never rule out the possibility at this point.

Edit2: Totally glossed over your post about diamond promos, nevermind he was only Plat 3.

Gosh Boondocks was such an amazing show.

Edit: Ugh, regrinding new Pokemons to bring to a battle. Forgot what an annoyance IV breeding was.

isn't there an RNG exploit for 4th gen involving coin flips?

Sort of.

The DS Pokemon games (i.e. Gen IV and BW from Gen V) had their RNG algorithm completely figured out, so we know exactly what the inputs the game uses for generating the RNG seeds for things such as what wild Pokemon you encounter in the grass, gender, IVs, determining Trainer ID at the start of the game, etc. And obviously, if we know exactly how the RNG is determined we can use this to RNG flawless Pokemon with the exact stats and nature.

A semi-technical explanation is that the DS games use a combination of your internal DS MAC address, the current time, and the current frame state of the game to determine RNG seeds. This is why, for example, in order to RNG abuse you need to reset your DS clock every single time you RNG a Pokemon. Doing things such as flipping coins (in Gen IV Poketch) or using Chatot sounds (in Gen V) help advance your frame state.

EDIT: Just to clarify something. RNG abuse works in Gen V BW2 as well, but due to some changes to the game code you can't RNG eggs in that game. Everything else can be RNG'ed though.

Isn't Mental Mistep pretty situational, because of the 1 cost thing?

Sort of.

Yango has explained it a bit, but remember rule #1 of card games: Good decks play good cards.

If you're a good deck, you naturally want to play the most powerful cards possible, but you also want to play the cheapest cards possible. That means every single deck with have powerful 1 mana cards. Mental Misstep is insane for several reasons...
  1. It's free
    See that funny looking mana symbol? That's a new mechanic which means that you can pay 2 life instead of using mana to play this card. In other words, this is a free counterspell. Free counterspells are very bad. Because there is basically no playing around them. You could be playing your first turn, your opponent hasn't even had their first turn. You should be able to do anything you want right? lol nope counter your 1 drop haha thx for playing. It also trades 1-for-1 so there's no card disadvantage, and 2 life is basically nothing. Free is possibly the most dangerous mechanic you can ever put into a card game.

  2. It ruins tempo
    Remember how I mentioned that on your first turn, when you're supposed to be able to do anything you want, you just get your entire Turn 1 ruined by a counterspell? That's nuts. You can't ever play around this spell. I mean, what, you're just never going to play a 1 mana spell ever again? Haha yeah have fun doing that. I mean, imagine if in HS the Counterspell secret was 0 mana, and didn't even show up as a secret when played, you got to choose when to activate your secret, you can counter any card (spell and creature) and you could play it Turn 0 before the game even started. What do you think happens to the game?

  3. It starts a vicious circle
    Do you know the best answer to Mental Misstep? Your own Mental Misstep! Wait, but then if you opponent has a Mental Misstep you should be running more than him so you're more likely to have them when you need it. But wait, they're thinking the same thing too so they're going to run as many as possible.

    I mean heck even if your deck doesn't have any 1-drops (for whatever reason) you're still going to run 4 of them because of reasons 1 and 2 because it's such a good card. So your opponents still have an incentive to be running 4x of them because they want to protect their 1-drops with their own Mental Missteps.

    And now you have a metagame where literally every deck runs 4x Mental Misstep. Before you even start deck building you write down 4x Mental Misstep. If you deck doesn't have any, you can literally make it at least 100% better by adding 4x Mental Misstep. This sounds like a great and diverse metagame. Hooray!

Also I don't get what makes Slash Panther good, the fact that it's an artifact? I had a 4/2 bear for something like 2G when I drafted.
Desperate Ritual's keyword with arcane stuff seems pretty good though... never ever play it, still empty your hand's worth of mana.

Yes. It's normally a bad card, but certain decks specialising in Artifacts can use Mishra's Workshop to play a Slash Panther out of nowhere to kill your opponent's Jace, the Wallet Sculptor. It's literally only a scenario that ever matters in Vintage because of how warped the format is. I mean, you can legitimately play a deck called Manaless Dredge where only 4 of your lands actually generate any mana at all, but you never actually use them to make mana. (I'm serious.)

You never use the Splice part of Desperate Ritual. For a combo deck you need to be generating as much mana from a starting point as low as possible. In order to Splice not only do you need another Arcane spell (which most of the time you won't) but you also need to have the mana to play that spell AND the splice cost at the same time. And if you're trying to combo off, say, 4 mana that's basically not do-able. The entire point of fast mana is to play lots of cards that give you a net positive amount of mana, play some draw cards to reload your hand, play more fast mana, and then keep doing that until you have enough mana and have found your kill condition to win the game.
ModeratorA dream. Do you have one that has cursed you like that? Or maybe... a wish?

Technically, MB, points 1 and 2 aren't so bad in the Eternal formats because they're true of Force of Will too, and that's been a staple of both Legacy and Vintage for years (admittedly, FoW is -1 card while Mental Misstep is 1-for-1). It's the 3rd point--the fact that Mental Misstep can be played by literally any deck that really made it format-breaking for Legacy--FoW requires you to be in blue to have a blue card to throw away, while you have no such restriction on Mental Misstep--any deck can play it.
