Hi!

I am learning Latin for 3 weeks now by myself.

My aim is to get ready for the first year of a potential theology studies next year, to be already able to tag along.

This is, what I did so far (and I hope it was worth it):

Bought the LLPSI book + workbook (I am on chapter 5 now).

With AI:
I learned how conjungations and declinations work for the "common" verbs and nouns (so all about the "bellum" and "Roman" theme.)

I can already recognize verbs quite well in the present tense, imperfect tense, perfect tense, past perfect tense, future 1 and future 2 tense, but only indicative active, so no subjunctive nor passive.

Also, I am quite confident in recognizing the five cases.

I can already translate smaller sentences with qui, quae, (subordinate clauses), like

"Puella servum laudabat, quod is eam amabat." or "Dominus, qui puellam laudat, servum videt."

I also learned to recognize the acI.

Also learned, that like "bona puella" goes together (KNG-thingy).

So right now, I feel like I already learned a lot in those 3 weeks (but, this might be only 10% of what is still to come...)

My question is now, how can or should I advance further?
Should I stay with what I learned for now and just repeat it over and over again? Should I focus more on specific tenses? Should I learn passive and subjunctive now?

I am happy to hear your feedback!

(English is not my first language, so I hope you can understand me :) )

Anti Red and Anti Snacker deck?

Hi,

I want to learn a deck over the next few months and use it to compete in a major tournament.

Which deck, if played consistently and mastered, has the potential to perform the best or be the strongest?

In general, here’s what I like about decks:

Drawing cards

Stabilizing the board

Working towards a game plan

What I don’t like about decks:

All-in strategies where you quickly run out of cards in your hand

Aggro decks in general, such as Rally, Elves, and White Weenie

In general, I struggle with counterspell decks in the Pauper format—either it’s actually because of the format, or it’s definitely because of me.

I also find that combo decks that use the graveyard are very difficult as well.

Please don’t reply with “any deck can be the best/strongest.”

That can certainly happen in this format, but I’m not the best Magic player and am looking for a deck that punishes my opponent more than it punishes me.

:)

Has anybody tested Orzhov Pestilence with the recent unban of Ornament?

If so I am interested in your list.

Could it be a good alternative to Golgari?
