Fringe cEDH commanders be like

If youre not playing cedh like this, youre doing it wrong

I'll happily admit this aged like milk. 😂

This is one reason I have stuck with Godo when folks suggest switching to Etali. The window is a little harder to find, but when I find it, I just win. No RNG.

Okay but when.

Why have you forsaken me?

I've never turned off a Wrexham game and I won't start now.

But this is hard to watch.

God is a Wrexham fan confirmed

I agree with this. And yet despite that success, it's not enough to bring me, a formerly highly entrenched player, back into the fold. I can't get excited for these wins when I'm also constantly reminded of Deadpool and pizza turtles and all the rest.

Thanks I've been trying to do better about it. Part of my work involves accessibility compliance, and I'm trying to apply that where I can outside of work too.

A large hole, about 6' by 3', surrounded by piles of red clay dirt in a grassy field. Me (a very tired looking bearded man with glasses and a pink baseball hat), stands more than waist deep in the hole, resting his hands at grounding level. A water bottle rests on one of the dirt piles, and metal detecting equipment sits in the grass behind the hole.

That's it for now! I hope you enjoyed a sneak peak into my hobby of searching for history left behind!

A collage of two close-up images of white lead Civil War bullets viewed from the bottom. Each has a rare "US" base raised markings clearly visible inside the base.

One of the most highly sought after base marks is a rare "US" base, identifying the Springfield Arsenal. I've dug many thousands of bullets over the years, and found only a single US base - until now. I happened to get lucky and uncover TWO more US base bullets! That was a really nice surprise!

Civil war bullets shown from the bottom, exposing the pinwheel pattern of swage base bullets. Gunpowder is still present in the base of several bullets.

Most Civil War bullets have either flat or conical base cavities, but some have unique base markings. The pit held several swage based bullets, a pinwheel pattern caused by manufacturing machine. It also had one star base bullet, identifying manufacture in the Washington arsenal.

A deep open dig hole in a grassy field. An orange pinpointer (9" handheld metal detector) is deet in the bottom of the hole, pointing out the top of the iron discarded in a civil war trash pit.

Six white civil war bullets, surrounded in crumbled clay mixed with gunpowder, sitting in a gloved hand.

I found several huts/trash pits over the hunt, but most didn't contain more than assorted iron nails, crumbling ration can, and discarded animal bones.

Late on the last day I did find a deep trash pit with a mass bullets, 34 in total. The powder most likely was wet, and they were thrown out.

A makeshift lead nipple protector fashioned from a three ring Minie ball. The top of the bullet has been cut off, and the bullet cavity bears the square impression of the rifle hammer.

A closeup of a civil war rifle showing an original brass nipple protector on place between the hammer and the percussion cap nipple.

One unique find is this makeshift rifle nipple protector. Typically brass, these protected the firing mechanism of a percussion rifle when not in use. Here a soldier used his ingenuity to fashion one from a discarded bullet, and the three rings of the Minie ball are still plainly obvious.

A display case of assorted civil war relics, mostly lead bullets. Next to the display is a broken but reassembed dark colored glass whiskey bottle missing the top of neck.

Different types of white lead civil war bullets stained with orange clay, and a quarter for size comparison. From left to right: 44 Colt Dragoon, 50 cal round ball, Sharps Carbine, 58 Minie Ball, Williams Cleaner, CS Gardner. Bottom: huge 69 caliber Minie ball.

Mostly my finds for the hunt were lead bullets of various types, from the "smaller" 44 Colt Dragoon pistol, up to the massive 69 caliber three ring Minie ball.

I also found assorted other relics - gun tools, a porcelain clothes button, and a broken whiskey bottle that I painstakingly repaired.

I recently returned from my biannual metal detecting trip searching the 1863-4 Union army winter encampments in Northern Virginia. Let's have a look!

Oh yeah, I used to know Quentin.
He's a real... he's a real jerk.

That isn't just one and done tho. It's constant improvement, maintenance, expansion. And that takes resources. War never changes.

DLSS 5 off ------ DLSS 5 on

Not directly, no. And yet they still do.

Fuck that ref amirite

Unironically, this is Magic the Gathering in a nutshell.

How bout that Arthur Okonkwo, huh?

I have many thoughts about the turn order “problem” in tournament cEDH, but most of them boil down to get gud + it’s a feature not a bug 🤷‍♀️

Nah I'm bringing back JNCOs
