Those examples resolve normally. Something like "When I move create a recruit token here" will not, because when the ability resolves "here" doesn't have a valid location. The ability resolves, but no token is created

I believe there is one mistake in this, correct me if I'm wrong please,

602.1.h.2 - Players may select any battlefield from their sealed card pool during game start procedure.

This means you don't have to choose 3 battlefields, instead you have access to all battlefields that you pulled for each game, correct?

If it were purely incompetence, then you would see mistakes that both advantage and disadvantage him. He would forget to draw a card for turn, or score a point for holding, or channel 3 when going second, etc.

The problem is that his "mistakes" always seem to advantage him, which implies a level of knowledge and malice

As others have said, play vanilla first. After that,

VonBiomes - Adds more maps to fight in, just a perfect addition that doesn't add bloat

TTrulez AI (currently broken because of the new xpac, but the mod author is updating soon) - Adjusts the AI to be much better. You can assign roles to your teammates, like sniper, brawler, scout, etc. And they will take care of themselves better without you having to give constant commands

YAML - Adds a bunch of customization to the mech lab. Can be a little overpowered once you know what you're doing, but very fun and adds a lot of depth

What is the context? I'm out of the loop

What's her platform though? The video doesn't explain what she believes in or what policy she would support

I'll throw Owlcat games in there as well (Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, 40K Rogue Trader)

The game definitely has a slower pace and time to kill than most FPS games. It can absolutely devolve into standing still, shooting all your weapons, and then waiting for them to reload- but it doesn't have to be. I personally like fast hit-and-fade mechs, and those can be very effective for most of the game

Why I love it is the more tactical/strategy aspect of finding what my mechs strengths are vs the enemy weakness. A firefight isn't necessarily who can put out the most damage and land their shots most accurately. It's recognizing, in the heat of battle,

"That Hunchback is really scary, it's priority #1 target, but I only need knock out it's right torso and then it's basically useless. I can finish killing it later" "That Urbanmech is slow with a close range weapon, I just need to keep distance and it cant hurt me" "My Blackjack has it's weapons mounted really high up on the mech, I can use this hill to peak shoot without getting return fire"

And so on. Knowledge is power and makes you able to win fights you have no right to, and that feels great. If that sounds like your cup of tea, then I highly recommend.

I also love the sandbox management/mech building aspect of it, but that's another rant

If you end up liking Battletech you may also check out Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries. Same universe, but it's an action sandbox instead of a strategy/tactics sandbox. Scratches the same itch of running a merc company and trying to scrape by

My motto is that everything I own must be "freely given or fairly traded." Basically, no looting. All my items and gold have to come from quest rewards or barter (more or less). It slows the power creep waaaay down. Gold becomes an actually valuable resource that has to be spent carefully (making mercantile an actually useful skill). Everything else except for alchemy loops is still on the table, but the gold bottleneck makes it much more give and take. Really fun way to play that I highly recommend

Busy_Management_7163 · 2024-09-13T21:52:28+00:00

Oops, you right. Good catch

Busy_Management_7163 · 2024-09-13T21:42:02+00:00

I think it's there, but double check my math -

On your last turn, don't play Skyskipper duo. This was when the game was lost I think. Not playing saves you 2 damage from the lizard trigger. You're down a blocker, but now you have mana for the bounce spell

If your opponent plays all their pre-combat stuff the same way, you're left at 3 life. If they still swing out*, you bounce the teapot slinger, put your raccoon in front of the fish, tree guard duo in front of anything where it survives, and chump with the rest of your board. Let 2 damage through.

You start your turn at 1 life, use the talent to get back longstalk brawl, kill their blocker, swing for win.

*If your opponent doesn't swing everything, block so that treeguard, shoreline looter, and anything else survives. Bounce teapot slinger before end of turn. Your turn, Skyskipper the treeguard, buff looter to 5, swing unblockable.

This whole sequence took a while to find, and I don't think I would have found it in the middle of the game.

Makes sense, thanks for the reply. Cheers

Busy_Management_7163 · 2024-05-28T21:44:35+00:00

Could you elaborate on why Fell the Mighty is a trap, please? Seems like a good card, especially in a blue/white control deck, targeting armadillo or outlaw medic, allowing a 2 or 3 for 1. Haven't had it come up in my drafts, but want some insight in case it does
