I saw this video about someone interview this shaoling monk. In the video he is wearing a robe(?) he refers to it as his uniform.

One of the question he was asked is “have you ever been persecuted for who he is?” (Implying him as a shaoling monk).

His reply was “this is just a uniform, when i’m out with my friends from the past i’m in a different clothes, when i’m home with my son i am a father, when i’m in the monastery i’m a shaoling monk, when i visit my mom i’m a son. The public only sees the side of me which i choose to show.” (Something along these lines not word for word)

This clicked with me that i am not one dimensional, i am not a guy who is sensitive, i am not a guy who is tall and big, i am not just a guy who is quiet, i am so much more. Someone told me that ONLY my view of myself matters the most because only i can see the “real” me.

Just thought i share this revelation as it helped me with some stuff i’m struggling.

so i have a situation

assuming i have [[grave breaker lamia]] on board, can i [[reanimate]] holding priority cast [[ghostly flicker]] on gravebreaker lamia to entomb a creature in my deck and then using reanimate targeting said creature? or the minute i cast reanimate i have to declare my target creature?

i'm looking into a specific deity but said deity doesn't seem to have much english references.

I saw somewhere that Lucifer is also phosphorus in greek mythology (i'm not 100% sure how true this is). This led me to think does the Demons in the Ars goeita have different names associated with them?

[[emet selch of the third seat]] [[forbid]]

let's say someone cast [[withering torment]] on my emet, in response i ping an opponent for one and i activate emet's ability which allows me to cast forbid from my grave on the stack. Can i pay the buyback cost to return forbid to my hand? Does forbid even hit the graveyard as i buyback?

Sun - letter - whip

i'm been trying out 3 cards first to get a better feel of cards, i saw somewhere that lenormand cards are supposed to be read together rather than 1 by 1? (i came from tarot)

What i got is that yea she does wants to do it with me, however i don't get the whip here.. BDSM? or abuse? i don't quite get it.

Sun+letter: mutual affection? she wants it as well?
Letter+whip: what i got is like straight up bdsm lol. i'm not sure if intuition can be used for lenormand but if yes what i got was more of a primal feeling ish.
All 3 cards: basically yes lol.

What are some good creatures that have strong etbs/ongoing effects that are good in an abzan reanimator?

My commander is [[will the wise]] and [[mike the dungeon master]], bonus if the creature coming back is "eldritch" ish looking.

so far i have,
[[valgavoth terror eater]]
edit [[collosal grave reaver]]
[[massacre wurm]]
[[golgari grave troll]]
[[teneb the harvester]]
[[nyxbloom ancient]]
[[sheoldred whispering one]]
[[elesh norn grand cenobite]]
[[Shadow the mindflayer]] (purely for flavor)

a friend of mine had [[terra herald of hope]] on the field, i had [[valgaovth, terror eater]] on The field.

he from main phase straight went to end phase skipping combat and hence skipping terra’s auto mill, as he says he can skip the combat phase. Is this a thing? I feel like i got scammed of a win because of this.

[[radiate]] [[crackle with power]]

say for easy math 4players each have 1 creature on board so 4 permanents and 4 players

I cast crackle with power for x=1 so i deal 5 damage to 1 target permanent, on the stack i cast radiate.

do i copy crackle with power 7 more times? And i have to shoot myself and one of my permanent?

[[blessing of leeches]]

i realised it's quite an old card, it's type is enchant creature but does not has the subtype aura, can [[lightpaws]] tutor it out by any chance?

Not your usual question but i'm curious...

Is there anyone whom can help with this? Ive been gymming consistently and pushing my limits for about 4 years now and have seen good results, but i feel as of late my progress has been slower (and experiencing abit of body dysmorphia), is there any demons whom can help with this?

Not looking to become huge like arnold schwarzenegger or john cena etc but i would like to have abit more volume

Recently i did a small ritual, i just light a candle an incnese and a sigil of Dantalion. I started to play his enn in the background but a part of me decided to turn it off and chant it myself instead. Then i heard a voice to sit up straight, then Dantalion came to me.

The whole experience felt unreal, my body felt floaty it didn't even feel i'm in my own body. Feels like i was in some sort of space. I was actually having a conversation with him, but it felt like i was talking to myself too? The reason i say this because i was getting replies much faster than i could even process my own questions, like it was constantly downloading.

After i asked all my questions, and i felt that it was my time to leave the space, i told him and suddenly i felt more grounded in my physical body as i slowly regain my physical senses. Then i opened my eyes, but i don't remember much of the full conversations.

I only remember the very important points from our conversation.

Does anyone have similar experiences? It is not my first time doing this however a part of me remain skeptical like, was i talking to myself?
