i looked this dude up and frankly i think he's brilliant:

First, you are probably not favored against bant. Early in the format I played stock bant vs. atraverse darkdwellers jund with mindwrack demon and chandra (and not all the irresponsible cards like dragonlord kologhan and the gitrog monster). We were testing so we played about 10 games and I crushed him 10-0 and he decided to go get a new deck. Now those results are probably lopsided because there were some close games I won out of sheer brilliance, but never did I feel like his deck was favored in the matchup.
You use the words "recursive" and "grindy" to try and identify why Jund is superior to bant. But those are just substitutes for the term "card advantage", which Bant definitely has more of (and cheaper). You're forced to play bad card advantage engines that are extremely tempo negative, like read the bones. Even darkdwellers really only gains you ~1 mana if you set it up (and hemorrhages mana if you loop traverses for darkdwellers). You also have lots of tempo-negative 1-for-1's like traverse, ruinous path, to the slaughter, etc.
p.s. you really need deathcap cultivator to cast 5 and 6-drops unless you're playing full-on control. Getting Chandra out a turn earlier will more than make up for the "card disadvantage" you get by sweeping up your own dork.
often lacked the ability to cast multiple spells in one turn to help close out the game
Have you read collected company? It says "two creatures".
The deck also plays ~16 2-drops. The deck is built to do 2 things a turn on turn 4+

magic tournaments tend to cram a lot of people into tiny spaces for many hours at a time, since most game stores don't have/can't afford large amount of playspace. so even if everyone has reasonable hygiene, things can still get gross by the end of the day

Since 22 April 2016, the writer has been posting a science fiction horror story in short installments to apparently random Reddit discussion threads.[1]

The story, sometimes referred to by others as the Interface series, touches on such topics as "Vietnam, Elizabeth Bathory, the Treblinka concentration camp, humpback whales, the Manson Family and LSD", and particularly involves something called "flesh interfaces".[1]

Apeneck Sweeney [34M] spreads his knees
Letting his arms hang down to laugh,
The zebra stripes along his jaw
Swelling to maculate giraffe.

The circles of the stormy moon
Slide westward toward the River Plate,
Death and the Raven drift above
And Sweeney guards the horned gate.

Gloomy Orion and the Dog
Are veiled; and hushed the shrunken seas;
The person in the Spanish cape[22F]
Tries to sit on Sweeney’s knees

Slips and pulls the table cloth
Overturns a coffee-cup,
Reorganized upon the floor
She yawns and draws a stocking up;

The silent man in mocha brown[40M]
Sprawls at the window-sill and gapes;
The waiter[59M] brings in oranges
Bananas figs and hothouse grapes;

The silent vertebrate in brown
Contracts and concentrates, withdraws;
Rachel née Rabinovitch[20F]
Tears at the grapes with murderous paws;

She and the lady in the cape
Are suspect, thought to be in league;
Therefore the man with heavy eyes
Declines the gambit, shows fatigue,

Leaves the room and reappears
Outside the window, leaning in,
Branches of wistaria
Circumscribe a golden grin;

The host [44F] with someone indistinct[50M]
Converses at the door apart,
The nightingales are singing near
The Convent of the Sacred Heart,

And sang within the bloody wood
When Agamemnon [52M] cried aloud,
And let their liquid siftings fall
To stain the stiff dishonoured shroud.

Two of my best friends (married) regularly go on small hikes and camping trips... and neither actually enjoys it.

She was in a long-term couch potato relationship before and presented herself as wanting more adventure/activity and as an outdoorsy person. He presented himself as the guy to make that happen even though it wasn't really his thing, now they're invested in the gear and the trips and all that and will continue doing this until they have a kid most likely with neither one particularly happy about it.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 23 May 2016 19:45 (ten years ago)

That they continue on doing it for each other and won't say a word because they don't want to disappoint the other is adorable.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 23 May 2016 19:46 (ten years ago)

my advice is to start very slowly with that kind of thing and if you're not that into it, maybe scale back

there are probably a million couples with a "shared interest" that neither one is particularly into, though

μpright mammal (mh), Monday, 23 May 2016 19:48 (ten years ago)

OMG milo why doesnt another friend put them both out of their misery and tell them both!

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 23 May 2016 22:43 (ten years ago)

how can you tell people who are otherwise happy outside of this shared loathing that their relationship is a lie? that's how they bond!
