Burn has been a part of the Modern metagame since the format's inception, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. The deck features a handful of aggressive and cheap creatures including Monastery Swiftspear, Goblin Guide, and Eidolon of the Great Revel, and leverages their aggression to the max by filling the rest of the deck with nearly 30 cheap burn cards that deal face damage. RELATED: MTG Arena: Streets Of New Capenna - The Best Cards For Alchemy This is a deck that seeks to play Magic for as little amount of time as possible by reducing your opponent's life to zero as early as turn three. Whether you're familiar with Modern or not, chances are you're familiar with the infamous Burn deck. Most recently, Dimir Death's Shadow decks making use of important blue cards like Murktide Regent and Archmage's Charm have been the next evolution in this deck's storied history. Nowadays, Death's Shadow decks play a much more traditional strategy of playing cards that lower your life total, sticking a big Death's Shadow, and then churning through any blockers in the way thanks to removal spells and the incredible size of your Death's Shadow. Furthermore, the ability to know when your opponent had removal was huge when your deck's whole strategy is to kill in a single combat step by going all in. Without this life loss sorcerery, losing as much life as was necessary simply became too difficult for the deck to accomplish. Since then, Death's Shadow decks have completely changed though due to the welcome banning of Gitaxian Probe in 2017. When used in combination with Become Immense and Death's Shadow, these three cards provided a reliable turn three kill that shook the format to its roots. Long live Jund.ĭeath's Shadow completely dominated the Modern metagame in 2016 with the printing of Temur Battle Rage in Fate Reforged. Alongside a handful of other artifacts, Urza's Saga provides the deck with much needed late game inevitably through the ability to recur the land using Wrenn and Six's +1 loyalty ability. Recently, a new iteration of Jund featuring Modern's most powerful land, Urza's Saga, has proven to be even more resilient than the deck's original formula. More importantly, its minus ability is a surprisingly perfect answer to the format's ever-increasing number of one-mana threats. This card allows you to continue to build your manabase despite Liliana forcing you to eventually discard your hand. However, Jund's continued success in the format is largely thanks to the new planeswalker Wrenn and Six. The ability to answer the cards in your opponent's hand through Thoughtseize, Inquisition of Kozilek, and Liliana of the Veil still holds up to this day, and Tarmogoyf remains to be an impressive threat. After all, these new entries evolved to beat the decks that came before them.ĭespite so-called "fair" decks struggling more and more as the format ages, Jund continues to prove its playability thanks to its flexibility. However, some of them may struggle to present the proper tools to fight newer Modern decklists included at the bottom of this list. Thanks to Modern being a non-rotating format, all the decklists mentioned previously remain both powerful and competitive. Seeing as it has been more than a handful of months since the original publishing of this article, it's time to include all the best new evolutions that Modern has come up with. Updated by Chris Stomberg on January 7, 2023: As is the case with all constructed formats, Modern is an ever involving space where the top meta decks can shift drastically over a handful of months. All that being said, let's take a closer look at the format's current metagame champions. As the Modern format gets older and older, decks playing so-called "fair" strategies become less and less effective as can be seen in Magic's older eternal formats. In their place stand a number of decks that contain incredibly cheap removal and threats as well as a handful of decks featuring nearly impossible-to-beat combos.

Under Annotate in the menu are options for adding a speech bubble. These options are also available from the highlighter palette. You can also underline text the same way. You can also perform actions like strike-through – initially we used the line shape, but then we discovered that it is possible to select strike-through from the menu (Tools > Annotate). It can be a bit fiddly to get the text box to line up with the text on the page, but it’s not impossible. You can use Preview to add text (in text boxes), you can change the size, colour and font you use. It’s got some limitations, but it’s likely to offer enough tools for you if you just need to fill in some responses to questions on a PDF. There is a free PDF editor already available on your Mac and it’s pretty good. We also cover How to scan documents and make PDFs on your iPhone or iPad. Watermark: Does it add a watermark? Can you add your own watermark?ĭon’t forget that macOS comes with some PDF editing capabilities of its own in Preview, and you can read a bit more about how to work with it in tips for using Preview to edit a PDF on a Mac.

We have looked at the following features and abilities of the PDF Editors reviewed here: We have even found a PDF tool that will let you import a PDF into Word (or Pages) and edit it there. For example, if you want a PDF editor that can use OCR (optical character recognition) to read the text on a page you have scanned, and allow you to edit it, we have an option that can allow you to do that.Īlternatively, if you are looking for a PDF editor that’s simple to use and flexible enough to let you fill in a form without pulling out your hair, we have one below. Some of these apps do certain things better than others, so the best PDF editor for you will depend on what your particular needs. The 4:3 aspect ratio also isn’t conducive to watching media, resulting in a lot of black bordering in YouTube. However, the keyboard becomes a little too wide and cumbersome when holding the Surface Duo sideways (in an orientation I like to call “Nintendo DS-style”), where the text field is partitioned off to the upper panel as you type on the bottom one. Typing is made easier by the way Microsoft breaks up its Swiftkey keyboard for one-handed use, depending on which side you’re approaching it from. Nevertheless, I have some qualms with Microsoft’s insistence on 4:3 screens: most Android apps aren’t built to put wider aspect ratios to good use, and so you end up with a lot of extraneous space in Spotify and Slack, to name two apps. Aside from all the obvious benefits to durability and cost-saving, as well as the fact Microsoft wants the Surface Duo to stand up to the rigors of its Surface Pen, the dual-display design makes this device better suited for multitasking or interacting with two apps at once to complete tasks more swiftly. Microsoft Surface Duo review: DisplaysĬritics may lament Microsoft’s decision to go with two 5.6-inch AMOLED screens on the Surface Duo rather than one big bendy one, but there are reasons for the approach. The bumper also collects lint like nobody’s business. It’s easy enough to put the case on just be aware that after you do, you won’t want to take it off, unless you’re willing to shell out money for a replacement. I say “apply” because the bumper doesn’t just snap around the edges of the phone it’s a rubbery silicone jacket with peel-away adhesive encircling the inner grooves. However, be sure to take care when applying it. Oh, and one more design oddity: Microsoft is generous enough to include a bumper case in the box with the Surface Duo, which should be industry-standard practice with devices that cost this much. The dual-display design makes the Surface Duo well suited for multitasking or interacting with two apps at once. For how hard Microsoft clearly worked to make the Surface Duo as compact as it is, it’s still unwieldy at times. Thus, you might naturally think to stash it in your back pocket, though I wasn’t comfortable doing that either because of how far the top of the phone stuck out of my jeans. The phone’s exterior is clad in white painted glass with a matte white frame, and all that exists to break that up is the stainless-steel double-barrel hinge and similarly-mirrored Microsoft logo.Īdditionally, given its width (the Surface Duo is seven-tenths of an inch wider than the Galaxy Note 20 when closed) this is not a device that’s natural to carry around in a front pocket. In an age of devices with flexible displays, the Duo has two separate, conventional 5.6-inch Gorilla Glass-shrouded panels with gigantic bezels. The Surface Duo looks dull in pictures, it has to be said. Not only does it have a faster Snapdragon 888 processor, it also packs in a bunch of features the original Surface Duo lacked, like Surface Slim Pen 2 support, and new, more versatile, design. With the Surface Duo 2 starting at $1,499, you want to pick up one of those instead. Of course that will only buy you last year's model. The 256GB model is a slightly more expensive $749. That's over 50% off the original price, and the 128GB model is still available at that discounted price point. It dropped to $1,000 ahead of the phones international release, and dropped down to $699 this past May. That said, Microsoft has made some hefty price cuts on this phone since the start of the year. Selma has had several failed marriages - to the likes of Sideshow Bob and Troy McClure. They are notoriously difficult to tell apart, although Selma is the one with the divided hair - that's how I remember. They are the daughters of Clancy and Jacqueline, and are smoking addicts. He regularly tells his family stories regarding various stages of his life - some are unbelievable - although he has a problem with staying awake - he can often fall asleep at the whim of a hat. He lives at the Springfield Retirement Castle, and has turned fairly senile in his old age. He is 85 years of age, a former World War II soldier and a greeter at the Springfield supermarket 'Sprawl-Mart'. He is married to Mona, although she is estranged. He has three grandchildren - Bart, Lisa and Maggie. The father of Homer, and the father-in-law of Marge. She tends to stumble and fall on her face when trying to move, and, although she cannot speak, she is actually very skilled - after all, she shot Mr Burns! It is often suggested that she is her parents' favourite child - because she can't speak yet. She regularly makes a noise with her pacifier, and it has become her catchphrase. She can't speak yet - apart from in 'Maggie's First Word', where she mutters 'dad-dy'. She has two older siblings - Bart and Lisa. Maggie is 1 year old, and is the youngest child of Marge and Homer. She enjoys reading, and going to the library, and always puts in a major effort for schoolwork. She is a buddhist and a vegetarian, and she has a definite view on world affairs, moreso than any other member of her immediate family. Despite this, she is only in the 2nd grade at Springfield Elementary, and is taught by Ms Hoover. She is notoriously smart for her age, and has an IQ of 156 - enough to join Mensa. She has an older brother - Bart - and a younger sister - Maggie. Lisa Simpson is 8 years old, and is the daughter of Homer and Marge. He always immerses himself in plans to help someone or something. Bart's idol is Krusty the Klown, and he also enjoys skateboarding, comic books, annoying Lisa and pranks - mainly prank calling Moe's Tavern. He is a self-proclaimed under-achiever who attends Springfield Elementary, and is currently in the fourth grade, taught by Edna Krabappel. He's 10 years old, the son of Marge and Homer and he has two sisters - Lisa and Maggie. Marge is a talented artist, although she gave up when Beatle Ringo Starr never replied when she sent him her paintings. Although married to Homer, she has several admirers, notably Artie Ziff - her high school prom date - and Moe Syzlak. Her most notable feature is her 18-inch tall hairstyle, which is grey - although died blue. She has no regular job, and is seen as a housewife. She has two sisters - twins Patty and Selma. Marge is the 38-year-old wife of Homer, mother of Bart, Lisa and Maggie, and daughter of Clancy and Jaqueline. His main catchphrases in the show include "D'oh!", "Mmm." and "Why you little". He often acts stupidly, angrily - conveyed in his regular stranglings of Bart - or lazily, and he has a short attention span. His notable physical features include his balding hair and his stubble, and he enjoys doughnuts, Duff beer and generally, any food. He began dating Marge when she was 17, and married her soon after she became pregnant with Bart. He works at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant as a safety inspector. Homer is a 38-year-old father of three, wife of Marge and son of Abe and Mona (estranged), aswell as being a half-brother to Herb Powell.

After you figure out what your burden is each month you divide that by 20 and that is your daily burden. Rent, loans (equipment/vehicles), insurance, payroll, taxes, tools, fuel, etc. I plan.įirst, figure out what your “burden” is. (My business manager reviews every estimate I put together to make sure I didn’t make a mistake but we are human…) If customer agrees to the ballpark estimate (and makes down payment) I will order materials immediately to lock pricing (windows and doors would be the only exception, I have my window foreman second measure every window and door).Īt this point, I know how much profit I WILL make barring any mistakes in my estimate or during the project. Said estimate is an approximate based on the cost of goods that day. I adjust the profit accordingly.Īt this point I will give the customer the ballpark estimate proposal. A “cool/fun/accommodating” customer gets a different margin than an asshole customer. There are zero “pass through” costs.Īfter all of this is calculated I evaluate the profit (margin) for that time period AND customer. I figure how long it would take an “average crew” to build a project, how long it will take my deck crew to build it, what my “burden” (overhead) is for that time period, cost of materials, permit, inspections, etc. In ANY other business besides construction do you think they say “figure the cost of raw goods x2”? Hell no. And results in guessing whether or not you are profitable. This majority of the comments in this post is reason #1 why contractors fail. We gotta change with it to succeed, and general rules regarding bidding are pretty antiquated, in my opinion. The industry has always been fast changing. I get what you are saying, I just think it's an old school way of thinking. And that number is so individualized that there can be no "general rules" applied to it. The question is "what do you need to charge to run a successful company". To succeed out here you have to focus on yourself and your business. Next thing you know you are trying to keep up with other people, who may be doing great, or might possibly be running thier business into the ground. Getting caught up in rules of thumb gets you caught up in the mentality "if someone else does it for this price, then I have to do it for this price". The cost to run my business is completely different than the cost of running yours, or anyone elses. Every single job, every single board, every single business, and every single individual business owner are so vastly different. If I'm completely honest, I really do think "rules of thumb" regarding bidding are basically useless. There are many short classes and education resourses on how to run a successful business. (The CCB in my area, it may be called something else in your area). If you are new to the business and need help figuring out what and how to bid/charge, reach out to your local construction governing body. And something like 90% in the first 10 years. That is why like 60% of all construction business fail in the first few years. There is a lot more to this business than just shooting a number from the hip and doing the work. Then its a matter of knowing how long a job will take you. Take that yearly cost, divide it by hours in a work year (2,080), and that gives you the hourly rate you need to make. Yearly costs of tools and maintenance, insurance, Taxes, payroll (if any), your personal hourly wage, and profit (usually about 20%). To figure out your labor costs, you need to know how much it costs to run your business. So if the cost of material goes down, I'm supposed to take a hit on my labor? And what about when material sky rockets, (currently material for framing in my area is running about 40% more than labor costs), am I suppose to gouge the customer? If you aren't sure about the size you need, consider investing in a drill bit set with multiple bit sizes. It's also recommended to check the size of the bit, so you don't end up drilling a hole that is too big or too small for the intended purpose. Various drill bits are designed for very specific purposes, such as plug cutter bits and installer drill bits, while other bits have more general use, making them suitable for a wide variety of projects. The type of work should also be a primary factor when you are looking for a new bit. There are also cobalt drill bits to bore through metal, or more general-use products, like black oxide-coated bits or titanium-coated bits. You can find high-speed steel drill bits for wood, fiberglass, PVC, and soft metals, or you can opt for carbide tipped bits for working with tile and masonry. One of the first considerations should be the type of material you are working with. There are many different factors to consider when it comes time to choose a drill bit.
Another name for the bid is Wheels, as in putting the wheels on it. The Priority Bicycles Ace of Spades combines a low-maintenance Gates Carbon Belt drive system with a highly accessible price point that is fun to ride.
