2023.06.09 17:57 Pelger-Huet Food Safety Question
I am a new homeowner, and I was working on renovating some of the old gardens. There's a trex deck that comes off the back of the house, and originally the owners had planted some ornamental grasses there. I am not a fan of grasses, so I ripped them out and converted one side into an herb garden that is doing quite well.
The issue comes into the other side.
About 2 feet away from the deck is the septic clean out. I didn't think too hard before and I planted 3 tomato plants near the deck before the septic clean out. Am I too close to septic? If I go out into the yard, then I really risk being on top of the tank/leach field. Will I be able to eat my tomatoes without have to worry of human contaminants?

It outlines the high level strategy you need to use to MAXIMIZE sales for BFCM. I go over everything from how to map out your promo calendar… what emails to send when… exactly when you should START and FINISH your promo(s)… and, most importantly… … how to STAND OUT and grab attention in an overcrowded inbox, so you can break every sales record. Once you watch this mini-course, you’re going to be pumping out high-converting BFCM campaigns in no time! Course #2 Make It Rain Monthly BFCM/Q4 Planning Call This is a special “members-only” coaching call I recorded with a handful of my top students to help them prepare their clients’ brands for BFCM success. I even critique (and edit) a few of my students’ BFCM emails during this call. You can look over my shoulder and see how I think about constructing these email campaigns and sequences – super valuable! Course #3 Make It Rain Monthly Issue #8 The Black Friday / Cyber MondayMEGA Issue Part 1 - My “A-Z” roadmap for creating highly profitable Cyber Week email marketing campaigns.
- The FIRST email you should send in the month of November, to increase the sales you make from every email you send for the next six weeks (I actually wrote this email for you. You can swipe it verbatim. Just swap in some small details about your business, hit send, and watch the sales start rolling in.)
- How to map out a three-month promotional calendar in less than 60 minutes. (Plus, how to come up with the topics to send, on which days, to the right subscribers.)
- What to do (instead of just giving a discount or giving a bonus) that’ll incite a buying frenzy, generate word of mouth buzz, create raving fans, AND could possibly lead to record-breaking sales.
- A breakdown of a collection of BFCM emails, including some from a sequence that brought in six-figures in one week flat.
Course #4 Make It Rain Monthly Issue #9 The Black Friday / Cyber MondayMEGA Issue Part 2 - The “Magic Box” Method I used to free up 25 hours of creative time on my calendar, so I could get more work done in less time, with less stress… and more time to myself.

- When to use a discount vs other types of offers in your emails (they both work and can both be used strategically… but you’ve gotta do this right.)
- How to instantly induce an “I’ve gotta spend money with this brand” feeling in your customers… even if they weren’t planning on buying anything five minutes before seeing your email.
- A breakdown of a six-figure BF/CM email campaign (meaning: we actually ran this for one of my e-commerce clients and generated six-figures in sales with it).
- A two-word subject line you can use on Black Friday to stick out like a sore thumb and get your subscribers’ attention… even when everyone else is screaming about their sales.
- The one type of campaign you should run if you feel like offering discounts ‘cheapens’ your brand.

| ➡️ https://www.genkicourses.site/product/ry-schwartz-coaching-the-conversion-ctc-circle-10-2022/⬅️ Get the course here: [Genkicourses.site] [Get] RY Schwartz – Coaching The Conversion CTC Circle (10/2022) - Full Course Download What You Get: Program #1 CTC Launches (to master your launch and funnel sequences) 10X Launches is the first copywriting program fully engineered to speed up the execution and amplify your results of your emails no matter what kind of funnel or launch strategy you’re rolling out. It’s built not only for best-in-class launch copywriters… But for coaches, consultants, course creators, and ANYONE who stands to benefit from nailing down their launch and funnel copy faster and with more genuine impact. IN THIS TOP-SELLING PROGRAM, YOU’LL GET ACCESS TO: 2 “Core” Modules That will initiate you into the “Coaching The Conversion™ method, and how to leverage a new, more empowering definition of “direct response” that opens up the floodgates to greater intimacy, empathy, and conversions. 5 “Launch” Modules breaking down every single phase of your launch or funnel in full detail (including some you didn’t even know existed). You’ll learn exactly what’s at play during the Segmentation & Confirmation, Pre-Launch, Launch, Sales and Closing phases of your funnel and how to quickly craft the messaging that coaches your prospect into the final conversion in a powerful, non-sleazy way. 25+ Email Templates None of that BS “plug’n’play” or “swipe and deploy” stuff that shoehorns your message into lifeless boxes that robs it of all life and power. Instead, you’ll get FULL breakdowns and walkthroughs of the go-to templates I turn to over-and-over again in 6 and 7-figure launch campaigns. Meaning, you get to craft your OWN high-converting launch emails in about 25 minutes flat and fire them into ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign (or wtv you’re using) while your coffee’s still hot. Program #2 CTC Sales Pages (to master your long form sales page) This is it. It’s where the best paid copywriters, coaches and course marketers on the planet earn their keep. It’s where the conversion either happens or it doesn’t. In cold hard numbers that don’t care how many Clif bars you stress-ate in the process. It’s where the most admired online business owners transform interest, desire, and engagement and into what you actually want: Sales. So what is “it”? It’s your long-form sales page. And the truth is… most copywriters and marketers avoid long-form sales pages like the plague… treating it like a close-talking lepper with coffee breath… instead of the 24/7 salesperson your sales page – that final step in your marketing funnel – should be. So why do marketers (and even pro-level copywriters) avoid sales pages? Because writing a long-form sales page is intimidating AF. It’s the Night King of the Whitewalker army. It’s the Beef Wellington on Hell’s Kitchen. It’s the Lord Voldemort of your marketing funnel – aka the funnel asset that shall not be named. A long-form sales page is where you’ll spend dozens of hours writing THOUSANDS of words that will either confirm your claim as a top player in your space… Or will tell you with Gordon-Ramsay-esque candor that your marketing wasn’t as good as your business coach told you it was. There’s real pressure in that. But there’s even real-er payoff in being able to do it faster – and more profitably – than anyone else in your industry. A payoff that even affords you the right to make up words like real-er Confronting, yep? Conquerable. Absolutely. In CTC Sales Pages, you’ll go through the exact process I’ve used to write over twenty 6 and 7-figure sales pages for the likes of Amy Porterfield, Copyhackers, and many more. Program #3 & #4 Six Figure Emails & Seven Figure Emails (for even more email conversion badassery) Welcome to the “Johnnie Walker Blue” of our email template series. This is the premium blend for more advanced marketing palates. All pulled straight from my highest-performing launches for industry titans like Amy Porterfield, Todd Herman, Traffic & Funnels, and Copyhackers. What you’re getting are 13 advanced email templates that you can use in a pinch when you need to write a standalone sales email, a webinar invitation, a post-webinar replay, downsell, or flash sale. To be clear, these aren’t those sketchy and lifeless “swipe and deploy” templates you may have seen swimming around the shadier parts of the online marketing cesspool. These are loose, flexible templates that guide you through deep-dive masterclasses teaching you the advanced psychology behind each one. Meaning, you actually understand WHY they work, and are fully empowered to engineer them to best serve your audience. Program #5 Minimum Viable Launch 2.0 (to quickly rock profitable and lean email launches) We’ve taken the single most impactful part of 10x Launches; the part that countless students have credited with producing game-changing ROI in record time… And given it a fresh-for-2022 facelift. Not only will you be getting access to a stack of NEW templates that we’ve added to the stack based on repeated tests and real-world results. But we’ll be offering you the one-click automation uploads to bring the whole sequence straight into your ActiveCampaign to save you and your team about 5+ hours of heavy-duty integration time. Program #6 Application Funnel Amplifiers (for creating powerful pre-call enrollment experiences) Fact: The enrollment experience begins the moment your prospect books a call. If you mail it in for those 12-72 hours between when they book the call — and show up to it, you’re missing a golden opportunity to begin coaching the necessary transformations. In this brand new program, you’ll learn how we to consciously engineering your entire application experience to pre-empt objections, create magnetism, and stack the odds in favor of having a successful enrollment conversation You’ll get practical answers to: - When you should be transparent about your pricing BEFORE a sales call
- How to strategically structure your application questions in a way that actually coaches your pre-customer into your program (yes, the questions are copy)
- What to put on your booking confirmation page to create incredible momentum and a “point of no return” into your program
- What tools and systems we use to create a seamless application and booking experience
Program #7 Next-Level Automation & Optimization Stack (upcoming and ongoing automation tutorials) As the CTC Membership evolves, our resident Wizard, Philip Powis will be actively adding a library of importable one-click automations (into ActiveCampaign), leveraged software playbooks, and a running list of the most advanced (and cost effective) tools and systems that he recommends for fast-scaling course and coaching businesses.

2023.06.09 17:51 floyd_1212 Two Virpil grips as stand-alone controllers?
I'm brainstorming a build for an Apache TEDAC that would employ Virpil Alpha L and R grips on either side of a touchscreen display running Helios. (I already have one grip and the screen at this point.)
1) Is there a source someone can point to for a threaded post I can mount to a fixed base that I can then screw the Virpil grips into? Or does anyone know the specs on those threads to have something machined or printed?
2) What would be needed to convert the 5-pin connector on the bottom of the grip to a USB device that Windows would recognize? Do I just need the mating DIN connector and wire it to a USB-A cable, or is there electronics in the Virpil base that is needed to map all the buttons and axis to a plug-n-play USB device?

2023.06.09 17:51 joem7890 Raspi for converting USB cam video stream into ONVIF
Hello forum,
we need to "integrate" several remote* USB endoscope cams into a Shinobi env.
I am wondering if a Raspi (at the remote location close to the endoscope cam) could be used to convert the video stream of the USB endoscope into an ONVIF compatible format. The Raspi would then be attached to a RJ45 cable.
Questions:
- is this a good idea?
- what software packets would be required on the Raspi?
Thank's in advance for every feedback!
*remote = still in the same building and same LAN as the Shinobi server

2023.06.09 17:42 Alfonse215 K2 Diary 8: Fission Power and New Science
| Last time, we upgraded our power to 300 MW on the basis of using water. Now it's time to undo that and move to something else. Fission and Testing Because U-235 is much more precious in K2 than vanilla, I decided to go back to older reactor designs. The first reactor I ever designed had throttling built-in: it didn't add fuel unless it was running low on steam. So I'm going back to that, though the implementation will be quite different. Also, I discovered that K2 doesn't give you a 100% reactor bonus anymore; it's only 25%. So my dreams of a 2x2 reactor that gives 4 GW are dashed. But 1.5 GW is fine for the time being. K2 also rescaled pretty much everything with regard to fission reactors (though for some reason they didn't rename them). They give 250 MW of energy, heat exchangers each absorb 50 MW of heat, consume 250 watesec, and turbines each generate 10 MW of energy. This makes the ratios much easier to work with. But the biggest improvement K2 makes for fission is that steam contains a higher energy density than in vanilla. To get just 1.1GW in vanilla, you need ten water pumps. In K2, you can get 1.5 GW of power from just 6 pumps. The ratio of exchangers to pumps is also exactly 5:1. What all this means is that its much easier to build a working reactor setup in K2 compared to vanilla. This makes sense, as fission is no longer the end-game power plant of choice (ignoring UPS, of course). Speaking of UPS, since you can build them much more compactly, K2's nuclear setups are probably better in GW/UPS terms. Though not much. K2 also gives you gigantic fluid tanks that you can use to regulate the reactor, so you don't have a bunch of plumbing everywhere. Here's my overall setup: Power is Good Each of the three exchanger setups is isolated from the other two... mostly. I do have some pumps that are used if steam from one tank setup significantly exceeds the steam from another. This is mostly just to make sure that things stay relatively even. The biggest difficulty in regulating reactors isn't telling when to insert fuel; it's telling when not to. You can't just say "steam is low, insert fuel", because the time between inserting the fuel and the steam getting high enough is extremely long. You'll constantly be inserting fuel until you fill up the reactor's capacity, and then it stays on for way too long. So my setup uses an RS latch to detect when the reactor is on vs. off. One of the 4 inserters is the primary inserter; all of the other inserters only insert fuel when they see the primary inserter do so (and each inserter is limited to inserting 1 item). The reactor is latched to being "on" when the primary inserter inserts fuel. And it will never insert fuel if the reactor is "on". The reactor is unlatched to "off" when a spent fuel cell is removed. So you only insert fuel when the reactor is off and the steam condition is met. Unfortunately, I realized a small flaw with my design: the S signal being set is what constitutes the "off" state. This was very useful for detecting "off and steam low" (simply adding S from two different sources). But this means the system isn't self-starting. You must manually insert the first fuel cell (or manually put a spent fuel cell in the reactor). And putting fuel cells in your inventory causes damage now. So that was fun. But that was always going to be a problem, since I don't have logistics chests yet. Also, note that I built this design in a testbed map. I wanted to use Editor Extensions to spawn a separate shard within my main K2 map, but unfortunately, activating the testbed shard doesn't actually pause the main map. Biters are still evolving, power is still being consumed, etc. So I just switch to a different map when I want to devise setups like this, then bring the blueprints back to the main map. Yellow Science is Weird Previously, I talked about the weird design of K2's ingredients list for purple science. They weren't especially useful by themselves (unlike vanilla), and they weren't exactly in common use as intermediates. K2's yellow science ingredients are even stranger. Blue circuits and LDS are taken from vanilla. Both of these make sense from the standpoint of general utility (particularly among stuff that gets built from yellow science). But there's always been an annoying issue: they're also both (nearly) direct components of space science. Thus space science feels like yellow science, only *more*. But flying robot frames more than make up for it. They have a very long and complex synthesis pathway (in vanilla terms), and they involve a number of slow-to-produce intermediate products. And if you can master their construction, you get bots. Thus, yellow science encourages you to get bots, which is something a novice player might not understand they even want. Especially given how hard frames are to produce. But K2 replaces flying robot frames with... rocket fuel? You know, the other component of rocket parts. That just seems like a really bizarre change design-wise. Yes, veteran Factorio players don't need to be told to make flying robot frames; they're going right for them the second they get blue science done. But rocket fuel is such a bland choice. Now, there is something going on here. In K2, space science isn't as important as in vanilla, because that's not the end of the tech tree. In fact, K2's tech tree post-purple and yellow splits into 3 paths: space science, matter science, and advanced science (what, did you run out of descriptive words there?), all leading to the final tier: singularity science. This means that a player can choose not to go for space science for a while and go for the other two instead. But that doesn't justify using rocket fuel. It doesn't even have a complex synthesis chain like flying robot frames. You just add more light oil and some means of generating oxygen, and now you have rocket fuel. Rocket Fuel from Water Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's make some. Krastorio 2 seems to love having multiple ways to make the same stuff. There are 3 separate ways to make rocket fuel: from light oil (presumably some from of RP-1/LOX), from hydrogen chloride (any idea what propellant this alludes to?), and from ammonia gas (no doubt nitrogen tetroxide & hydrazine ). The latter involves pulling nitrogen out of the air (since nothing else can create it) and processing it into ammonia. Unfortunately, every single one requires oxygen, and therefore every single one produces a bunch of extra hydrogen. OK, technically you can produce the oxygen you need via condensation, but despite my incentives to just burn uranium fuel cells, I'm not doing that. Also, I have to produce hydrogen anyway to make the ammonia; it's just that producing enough oxygen by electrolysis means making spare hydrogen. The ammonia version doesn't require any material input save water for electrolysis, and I love making useful stuff from just water. So here we go: 37 MW for 50 fuel per minute That's a lot of power for relatively little fuel; I could use the same power to get about 3x the fuel from coal liquefaction. But, as I have built no lithium processing or even mineral water extraction (I should probably do that), my only source for precious tritium to run my portable fusion reactors is reprocessing spent uranium fuel cells. So being stupidly power hungry isn't a bug; it's a feature. Also, I still haven't even hit 500 MW of consumption, so it's not like I'm running out of power. Next Time I'm running out of uranium. I started expanding towards the new patch, but then I decided that killing biters was boring so I got yellow science instead. So I guess I'll finish that expansion and move forward from there. And perhaps spreading U-238 to the bugs would be useful. Lithium seems vaguely useful, so I will probably start in on that next. But I'm also beginning the process of transitioning to a bot-based hub. Since there's still a lot of game left, and I'll probably start building megabase blocks before getting too deep into the final trio of techs, it's best to make it easy to add new kinds of infrastructure. I just need to convert the bottom of my bus so that it inserts stuff into logistics chests. submitted by Alfonse215 to factorio [link] [comments] |

Some of you may already be aware of the notice Binance recently sent to their customers, that they would stop USD operations. They’re blaming the SEC.
That is not good news for the coming back to reality of the creepto crowd.
In fact, it’s a very good thing for Binance, they’re using that to stop their customers cashing out on their ponzi which would ultimately show they don’t have all the USD funds they claim. They’re holding a lot of unbacked Tether printed in exchange for « commercial papers » they issued (in order to pump BTC up) so preventing USDTs to be withdrawn as USD allows the scheme to go on. The least possible ways to convert USDT to USD there are, the more they can print.
It’s perfect for their scam: they can prevent a run on their Ponzi scheme while blaming the SEC. Imagine Madoff in 2008 saying « nope, you can’t withdraw your money sir, but I have it I swear, it’s actually because of the Feds investigating me » and his clients swallowing that lol.

2023.06.09 17:42 TacotheMagicDragon Chrome Mox is safe to unban, and here's why
Tl;dr
I'm sorry I couldn't make it shorter than 4 paragraphs. This post is simply too long, and I'm going over a lot of factors
If you don't want to read my spiel on why I believe Chrome Mox can be unbanned, scroll down to "Disclaimer + Request" where I talk about conducting an experiment with it to verify my thought-process.
Simply put, I believe that due to Chrome Mox causing you to neg 1 each time you cast it, it would be pretty safe to unban. Of the degenerate decks in Modern, Chrome Mox wouldn't fix any of their known issues. Ad Nauseum, Storm, Belcher, etc, aren't rogue tier because they are slow. They are rogue tier because they are extremely vulnerable to hate cards that are common in the format, or are just simply inconsistent. Chrome Mox doesn't fix either of those issues. Instead, Chrome Mox would actually help other decks back into the format.
Tribal decks like Humans, Slivers, and Merfolk (I go over Elementals below) would definitely benfit with Chrome Mox being unbanned. Additionally, despite being technically a generic card, it wouldn't be a good inclusion in a lot of decks that are already considered good. It goes against the gameplan of Murktide and Rakdos, and it straight up cannot be used in Creativity, Cascade, and Affinity decks.
It is because of this that I believe Chrome Mox is safe, and would be a healthy inclusion for the format in terms of not just deck diversity, but also in skill due to this card being able to make or break your gameplan.
End Tl;dr
Pretty much everyone seems to agree that Chrome Mox would be way too powerful and would completely ruin the format.
But after having giving a lot of thought, I'm actually pretty confident it won't. Here's my reasoning:
Firstly, here's what it does:
Chrome Mox: (0)
Artifact
Imprint - When Chrome Mox enters the battlefield, you may exile a nonartifact, nonland, card from your hand.
(Tap): Add 1 mana of any of the exiled cards colors.
Unbanning consequences
If this was unbanned, it would see play in the following decks:
• Tribal decks, like humans, merfolk, elves, slivers, and elementals. These are the decks that can capitalize the most on Chrome Mox since they have a lot of redundancy and get a lot of value by getting stuff out ahead of curve.
• 4c Omnath would without a doubt gain some dominance if Chrome Mox were unbanned. The deck runs multiple cards that allows for replenishing of any sort of card advantage lost from playing Chrome Mox. Though, this is less on the power of Chrome Mox and more on the raw power of Omnath. In my personal opinion, whether or not Chrome Mox is unbanned, Omnath should be banned due to the amount of power it brings. If you use any removal on it, you will neg 1 because Omnath replaces itself on ETB, it stabilizes you due to the constant life gain, it allows you to go off even harder with spells due to the mana it gives which is much more free than Chrome Mox, and it can even deal damage without attacking. (Which is niche, but its worth mentioning when trying to close out a game) Combined with the Evoke elementals, and Wrenn & Six to make 4 colors extremely safe, this card is completely absurd.
• Elementals (assuming that Omnath is banned. This is a hypothetical scenario, like the rest of the post) would actually be pretty balanced with Chrome mox. The additional mana allows them to get their threats out faster, and because a lot of their cards actually exile from hand for cost, it would actually create a deck that promotes skillful play, since using Chrome Mox, or any evoke elemental, at the wrong time would set you so far behind that you'd just lose.
• Dredge would definitely love Chrome Mox since it allows you to fire off a turn 1 cathartic reunion, which would definitely be a pretty good plus. However, like one other deck that I'll get to a bit later, Dredge isn't hampered by speed. It, in of itself, is a very speedy deck already, and it also runs gemstone caverns for said fast mana. Turn 1 Cathartic is already pretty common with the deck. The issue that dredge has is consistency. Dredge is inherently a luck based deck. Chrome Mox doesn't provide consistency, it just provides a fast mana in exchange for a card in your hand. Both are appreciated by dredge, but it doesn't solve dredge's problem of being luck based.
• Storm would also quite like Chrome Mox since it allows them to go off 1 turn earlier, and they have a ton of redundancy. I am confident that Storm will actually go up a few tiers too if Chrome Mox is unbanned. But this won't be a bad thing because Storm still has the issue of being very reliant on easy to remove creatures, as well as their graveyard.
Here are decks that would not use Chrome Mox
or could use it but it would be better off replaced with a different card
• Midrange decks are comprised of almost no redundancy. Pretty much every card would much rather be cast. They also want to go 1 for 1 most of the time and slowly gain value with threats like Fable of the Mirror Breaker, Expressive Iteration, or a simple creature threat like Fury or Murktide. Chrome Mox makes this game plan less efficient since it takes two cards out of your hand. (Chrome Mox being played, and the card being imprinted) Midrange decks today would be Murktide, Rakdos, and Jund. At first these decks would likely play with Chrome Mox, but then after a while they would ditch it when they realized that they would rather have another spell to ruin their opponents day.
• Aggro decks, like burn, would hate using Chrome Mox because the issue with aggro decks is that once they run out of steam, if the opponent is still alive, they are at a disadvantage. Chrome Mox accelerates how fast they run out of steam ans even delegate one of the cards in their hand that can do something to instead do nothing. That would cause said aggro deck to be that much weaker.
• Control decks have no use for Chrome Mox since mana ramping in control is generally not needed due to the fact they run a ton of lands anyway. Also, like midrange decks, every card would rather be cast than imprinted. They would more than likely rather see another counterspell or draw spell instead of Chrome Mox.
• Affinity and Hardened Scales straight up cannot use Chrome Mox due to their decks being almost entirely artifacts or lands, or both. The only cards in each deck that can be imprinted is Hardened Scales, Ancient Stirrings, Thoughtcast, and Forging the Anchor if they play it. All of these spells are spells that you would rather cast than exile it for mana ramping. There is also a likelyhood of Affinity running Metallic Rebuke and Emry mainboard to support the Chrome Mox, like they do in No Banlist Modern. Honestly, that would be fine. Affinity won't actually be a crazy deck again unless Mox Opal is unbanned, which it won't be. Additionally, NBL Modern is safe to run Emry because NBL Modern has little removal compared to vanilla Modern.
• Cascade and Creativity decks also cannot use Chrome Mox due to it directly conflicting with the decks combo.
• Yawgmoth would seem like a good candidate for Chrome Mox, but the reason it runs mana dorks is because they can also be sacrificed to Yawgmoth. Yawg can't sac Chrome Mox. So if Yawg did run it, it would probably be a 2 of. But they'd probably be better off with the mana dorks they have already since that is what they would be cutting for Chrome Mox.
• Hammertime wouldn't be able to use Chrome Mox because a lot of the cards in their deck are artifact based. The only cards that could be imprinted are Stoneforge Mystic, Puresteel Paladin, Giver of Runes, Steelshapers Gift, Surge of Salvation, and Sigarda's Aid. All of which are cards that Hammertime would much rather cast than just lose for mana ramping.
With this in mind we ask a question: With Chrome Mox back...
Would anything degenerate happen?
I did leave one deck out, and that deck is Belcher. The reason I left it out is because it would probably be the most unbelievable explanation. Blecher is one of those decks where if it ever sees tier 1 relevancy, then the entire format burns down. So, if Chrome Mox is unbanned, it would enable a whole lot of degenerate plays for Blecher, right?
Well...
Both belcher decks are designed to kill you in one turn, though the method differs between the two.
Belcher is, essentially, just a modified storm deck that tries to get as much mana to both cast and activate goblin charbelcher. As soon as Charblecher hits the field, they win. The earliest they can go off is on turn 2 by using a bunch of mana spells to immediately ramp into Charbelcher. (2 lands, 2 pyretic/desperate ritual, irencraag feat, and belcher) To go off on turn 2 requires a 6 card combo.
With Chrome Mox the earliest they can go off is turn 1... but that requires 7 cards now. (1 land, chrome mox, 1 imprint fodder card, 2 pyretic/desperate ritual, irencrag feat, charbelcher)
The other deck, oops all spells, relies on either charbelcher, or one of the creatures that mills the entire deck to get 4 Vengevine onto the field and kill their oppoent, or they can get Thassa's Oracle back and win instantly if the Vengevines didn't finish the job. With Chrome Mox they can go off on turn 2 at earliest. (Land, Chrome Mox, imprint fodder, Pentad Prism, and either creature that mills their whole library, a 5 card combo) Essentially this deck trades Belcher's speed for consistency. However it now has a super big vulnerability to hate cards that Belcher didn't have. Graveyard hate delegates them to only being able to use Charbelcher as their win condition, and they only run 1 in main and 1 in side.
But thats where we hit a problem. See, speed isn't the issue with charbelcher decks. Charblecher isn't putting up weak results because its slow, it most certainly isn't lacking there. Its putting up weak results because its inconsistent. (Or in Oops' case, extremely weak to hate cards) I watched some streams of people playing belcher and the number 1 reason they lost was because they couldn't find a belcher to combo off with. (The second reason was because the first belcher got answered)
For Oops All Spells, the main reason they lost was because either they got hit with graveyard hate, or they couldn't find a Belcher after getting hit by said graveyard hate.
In a manner of speaking, Belcher is like Tron. If you get all the necessary pieces, you win! If you don't, ugh. Chrome Mox doesn't provide any consistency, it only provides just mana. If it was unbanned, Belcher would more or less be the same as it was before, whether or not it played Chrome Mox. (Which in NBL Modern, it does alongside Street Wraith and Gitaxian Probe which gives it a lot more consistency)
Having read up to this point, you're likely thinking that because Chrome Mox is so common in NBL Modern, that surely it can't be unbanned right?
Observations on No Banlist Modern
So, first, lets assume that Chrome Mox was included in a deck because the card is unironically really good in that deck and not because literally everything is suddenly legal and Chrome Mox is a generic card as seen in a so far unsolved, unsupported, format with Dark Depths being the established best deck.
Despite literally being a subformat of Modern, No Banlist Modern can't be used as a metric for what can be unbanned in Modern.
The reason for this is because, unlike our Modern, NBL Modern has a lot of degenerate decks that would absolutely ruin your day, and Chrome Mox is just there to enjoy the ride. The best deck of NBL Modern is undoubtedly Dark Depths, with UG Emry being a close second. Both run Chrome Mox, but both aren't absolutely busted because of it. They're busted because they're running Oko, Sensei's Divining Top, Deathrite Shaman, and Dark Depths. Cards that should absolutely, positively, never be unbanned in Modern. These decks, even if they didn't use Chrome Mox, would still be the best decks of NBL Modern.
Additionally, the way that NBL Modern plays is nothing like Modern because the "checks" are different. A check is a card that is included in your deck so that it can be used to deal with a certain threat. For example, in Vanilla Modern, Unholy Heat, Bolt, Prismatic End, and Fatal Push are all very common checks. Most decks that can play them do so because they check a good amount of the format. But in NBL Modern, the checks are actually pretty different, mostly delegated to a couple removal spells and instead running more cards like Thoughtseize and Force of Negation. Actual on board removal is run in very low numbers outside of Yorion Piles. Due to this, permanents have a much higher probability of staying on board for several turns compared to Vanilla Modern.
With this idea, we can conclude that even though Chrome Mox sees a lot of play in NBL Modern, it cannot be held to the same standard as Vanilla Modern.
We can also apply this kind of thinking to cards that are banned in Legacy, but fine in Modern. The best example of this is Dreadhorde Arcanist, a card completely unseen in Modern.
The reason for this is because, like mentioned before, the checks in legacy are much different than in Modern. Legacy, just like NBL Modern, doesn't run much in terms of removal, and what little removal they did have was easily dealt with by countermagic which is very common in the format. The same thing also applies to Ragavan and Wrenn & Six.
It is because of these factors that NBL Modern and Legacg cannot be used as a metric to determine whether or not Chrome Mox is safe to unban in Vanilla Modern.
Disclaimer + Request
This, of course, is all completely hypothetical. Given that Chrome Mox has never been legal in Modern, and despite me doing several days of research on the matter, it is still uncertain on whether or not my claim is true.
Which is why I have a request for any LGS who wants to do some science! (If it's allowed)
I would like to conduct a study in a controlled environment where Chrome Mox is unbanned for about 8 months. (Though a year would be more ideal since it would give more time for the format to settle, which would give me much better data) During these 8 months, after each tournament, the organizer (I would be doing this myself if an LGS in my decides to do this) notes the decklist of each person in the tournament, their winrate, their matchups, and whether or not their deck has Chrome Mox in it. (For simplicity, the decklist doesn't have to be noted down. Ideally it would just be like: Player A, Izzet Murktide, /w Chrome Mox, 60% winrate, played against: Cascade WW, Affinity LWW, Jund LL, and UW Control LW-tie)
In addition, because Chrome Mox is pretty difficult to get, for the duration of the study, all participants will be allowed to proxy it.
Also the tournaments where Chrome Mox is legal would essentially be no different than a regular weekly tournament. Pay to get in, get store credit if you go 2-1-1 or better. The literal only difference is that now Chrome Mox is legal.
Expectations of this study
For the first several months, almost everyone is going to be using Chrome Mox. This is to be expected since it is a card never before legal in Vanilla Modern and is generally seen as strong, much like how when Stoneforge Mystic and Jace the Mind Sculptor were unbanned 4 years ago.
Then, over time, the useage of Chrome Mox will gradually go down as people begin to get used to the card and only put it in decks that actually should run it. Other people would likely start making decks that would like using Chrome Mox rather than use a deck that Chrome Mox is weak in but strong in the meta, like Rakdos or Murktide.
At roughly the 8 month mark, the format should more or less resemble the format we have now, except the decks Chrome Mox is good in, Tribal decks, Storm, Dredge, etc, have their foot a bit further in the door and see more representation.
Possible issues
• At the start of the study, if everyone starts playing degenerate decks, the study will fail because the format will be too grueling to actually settle and people will just leave instead. (My biggest fear is doing the study and 90% of the sample size deciding to play only Belcher) This issue would cause all data to be nonconclusive, since the study would have to be aborted soon after it began.
• A lot of stores might have a small player population. If the sample size is too small, the format may never actually settle and instead convey the idea that Chrome Mox would be too warping, even though it might not actually be. To remedy this, a survey could be given out every few weeks to ask how players feel about Chrome Mox and if it helped them win or lose a game. Make sure to not ask how they felt towards the game as a whole, because that will only tell us that they liked the card when they won, and disliked the card when they lost.
• The study length might not be long enough to settle, even with a respectable sample size. It took about a year for Stoneforge decks to settle down. Chrome Mox is seen as a stronger card than Stoneforge, so it is definitely possible it could take even more time to settle, much longer than 8 months, or even a year. I proposed 8 months because I didn't want to scare people off by saying this would take over a year to conduct. But if the LGS is willing to do this for over a year, that would be ideal.
• Magic players could just be stubborn and when they see that Chrome Mox is being unbanned, they just might decide they don't want to even give it a try.
Closer
Good god, this took a while. I worked on this for about 6 days. (not 6 days straight, just on and off researching and typing)
I definitely expect most, if not all, of you to actually disagree with me, and I definitely will be downvoted to oblivion. Some will probably call me a troll even though I am completely serious.
Anyways, this is what I did instead of my calculus homework.
Cheers!
