[DM01-06] What was the most meta Light decks, cards?

[DM01-06] What was the most meta Light decks, cards?

As per title. I'm aware of:

- Nariel (DM08, Hall Of Fame)

- Petrova (DM09)

But neither of these are in DM01-06 early JP meta. Wiki seems to indicate that there weren't any Hall of Fame light entries other than Nariel pre-07...

Early DM01-06 meta is extremely dominated by evolution beater decks (specifically, Paladin or Reef rush). This eliminates blockers as "reliable" options due to sheer abundance of Paladin rush.

Nevertheless:

- I know that obsidian scarab + blocker spam did exist (unsure how effective it was?)

- I know Awe Splash was extremely common (Beastfolk/Paladin, Reefspam) but that's not exactly light-dominant (it's more like 2-4 holy awe/spark in a 40 card deck)

- Crazy Valkyrie exists but I don't really understand how initiates work... they are kinda worse at control than straight up using terror pit/death smog, and slower than valborg rush- can perform shieldbreak and control simultaneously but also get fvked by triggers whilst being slower than direct removal. not sure where initiates fit

- Alcadeus gets its ass handed to it by unicorn fish, corile decks...

I have also experimented with hydro hurricane, but HH Light is awful (gets annihilated by rush, gives free thrash crawler effects to water/nature decks, loses to control...) especially compared to HH Dark (Aquan + HH + 1-2drops bouncing enemy mooks off of the face of the planet...) might be a skill issue on my part

But apart from these: during this period, what were the strongest light or light dominant options (decks, cards)?

Effect priority?

Say you have a gigamantis and jack viper shadow of doom on board simultaneously, as well as some N/D monster (lets say alcaclown bc i have no idea what era accurate N/D monster it would be)

say the enemy kills the alcaclown, gigamantis and jack viper proc. Jack viper says go back to hand, gigamantis says go to mana zone.

Where does the alcaclown go? or do you get to choose?

EzyPay is a core foundation of Anytime Fitness and the future of fitness financing.

If we look at payment providers between Stripe and EzyPay, we see that

- Stripe prioritizes efficiency and low dishonor fees ($2.50)

- Ezypay provides low-tech and obscure payment rails for 4.6x that cost ($16-35).

From an investor's and also a franchise owner's perspective, we can see that Stripe is an extremely ineffective company (openly and allows merchants to switch providers easily) that can only charge 0.156x of what its direct competitor charges.

Ezypay is "baked in" as the primary payments layer for major gym management software platforms (gym members are delivered to Ezypay without individual consent or the ability to opt out).

Thus, Ezypay is able to exploit their stranglehold over gym customers in the fitness industry to basically turn recursive dishonor fees over the same transaction (of over 17-20% per bounce- meaning dishonor fees can easily account for more than half of a gym member's monthly subscription!) into a consistent revenue stream.

Discuss or suggest how Ezypay can continue to build their dishonor payments to accumulate more payments from AnytimeFitness goers. We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Stripe prioritizes efficiency and low dishonor fees ($2.50), but this is honestly way too low compared to its competitors like Ezypay ($16-35).

From an investor's perspective, who would want to invest in an ineffective company that can only charge 0.156x of what its direct competitor charges?

Stripe, which competes openly and allows merchants to switch providers easily, is failing to capitalize on a market niche that Ezypay does. Ezypay is "baked in" as the primary payments layer for major gym management software platforms (gym members are delivered to Ezypay without individual consent or the ability to opt out). They're able to exploit their stranglehold over customers in the fitness industry to basically turn dishonor fees into a consistent revenuw stream.

For the continued profitability of Stripe as a platform, it would be important to fix this critical performance flaw, lest Stripe be outcompeted by its superiors.

Thinking of getting a 7i or slim 7i because my 2022 3070ti Legion 5 pro is bulky asf

But I'm worried about recurrence of the weak solder issues. Are any of the newer 7i models confirmed to be out of the weak solder risk zone yet?

FWIW, i use it for occasional heavy duty stuff (3d rendering, model inference) where the core temps hit 99 deg, so i would really prefer if a potential new 7i didn't up and die on me like the 5 pro did a few times

As per title. I am seeking lowest cost plan under which I can use claude in VSC? I do not need CLI.

What advantages/disadvantages does it have, as opposed to/compared from cursor (which I am coming from)?

Thanks in advance.
