how i imagine my mutuals (most of which followed me for osc or other fandom content) realizing that my blog has become increasingly a more personal blog and its basically just rants about religion, vents, and jokeposts that tend to be completely incomprehensible

rreligious ramblings, because its been on my mind a LOT lately.

fun fact, i used to be against christopaganism but now im not, so long as it isnt heretic in the sense of polytheism while believing in the Christian God its fine because christopaganism isn’t about worshipping multiple Gods, but rather pagans incorporating Christian elements (for example, celebrating Christmas. not Yule/Winter Solstice but Christmas. as really anyone does because its heavily commercialized but some people decide to not, using Christian symbols, Lent, communal worship/liturgy, fasting/abstaining from eating meat) or vice versa with Christians implementing what would otherwise be exclusively pagan elements (lets be real a lot of Christianity is modeled on paganism but my best example is a Christian who believes in the Christian God and who also believes in gnosis such as Unverified Personal Gnosis, Shared Personal Gnosis, or Verified Personal Gnosis or who believes in Arete/Sophia (not the Aeon; pursuit of wisdom)/nomos arkhaios (keeping the old religion)/Hubris etc etc

i heard that nomos arkhaios is a Hellenist pillar but im not sure about it because ive only seen it mentioned once in an unreliable source, i think how traditional you want to be is a choice because religion is very personal and as long as it isnt mocking/heretic/contradictory its okay, and besides, theres a range in modern paganism for reconstructive to eclectic pipeline

Colorless cloudpost

I started playing Legacy during the COVID pandemic. Around that time, Time Spiral Remastered was released, and after acquiring my first dual lands, I began acquiring some Legacy staples. Among the decks within my reach were Cloudpost, Nic Fit, and Standstill. At the time, I wasn't entirely sure how Cloudpost operated, so I ended up gathering cards for both a colorless version and a mono-green version.

While I played a lot of Nic Fit during this time, I didn't play much Cloudpost. My former LGS often had a very combo-heavy meta, which made me hesitant to bring a slower, big-mana deck like Cloudpost. Additionally, I always seemed to find something else that piqued my interest more when deciding on a deck to play (often Chain of Smog decks).

Cloudpost decks are great at generating huge mana for powerful threats, making them strong against control and midrange decks. However, they struggle against fast combo and aggressive strategies that can overwhelm them early.

While browsing through some 5-0 deck lists today, I stumbled upon a fun list I would love to try:

~ https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6498047#paper

It dates back to June, so I wonder if it's still playable today. Right now, all big mana decks are running Sowing Mycospawn, which is a beast of a card for your opponent to deal with if you manage to kick it. Planar Nexus + Urza's Tower gives you 4 mana turn two, which is a very powerfull play. Also Consign to Memory is in every blue sideboard to counter the Eldrazi menace!

It's still fun to see this list that reminds me of all those colorless cards I acquired for playing that deck and see it posting results!

See you at FNM!
