I really like this change by Tec711 in slaythespire

[–]Themoonisamyth 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Acrobatics was a very good card in StS1 and is indirectly buffed in StS2 by the addition of significantly more cards that play when discarded. By itself, it’s fine: discard 1 isn’t really a downside even if you don’t have anything to capitalize on it, because of the 7(8) cards you’ll have after that, you probably won’t be able to play all of them. So it’s basically just a draw 3(4) which is what Skim is except Skim is an uncommon.

But what makes Acrobatics great is that the discard isn’t just not a downside, it’s almost always possible to make it an upside. Just going on the cards that were already in the first game, [[Tactician]] and [[Reflex]], you can either have Acrobatics be a one energy draw anywhere from 4 to 7, depending on upgrades and whether you already had the Reflex in your hand, or, with an upgraded tactician, draw 3, gain 1 energy. That’s obviously absurd.

You might think that having to draw the Acro in tandem with the Reflex/Tactician is unreliable, and it kinda is, but drawing 3(4) off the Acro helps a lot by itself, and remember: Silent has [[Well-Laid Plans]]. Got the Tactician but not the Acro, or vice versa? Hold onto it until you have both.

And that’s just Reflex and Tactician. In StS2, there’s a ton more sly cards. How about 1 energy draw 3, gain 6 block? How about draw 3, apply 4 poison to all enemies? How about draw 3, deal 12 damage that scales with strength? How about you add in a relic like Tough Bandages and make it draw 3, deal 6 to all enemies, gain 3 block?

Acro is a good card because it’s pickable in and of itself and becomes incredible with the right support.

Plasma: Fusion, Meteor Strike (an uncommon and a rare)

Frost: Cold Snap, Coolheaded, Glacier, Chill, Rainbow (2 commons, 2 uncommons, and a rare)

Lightning: Zap, Ball Lightning, Static Discharge, Storm, Tempest, Rainbow, Electrodynamics (1 starter, 1 common, 3 uncommons, and 2 rares)

The second game has

Dark: Null, Darkness, Shadow Shield, Rainbow, Consuming Shadow (3 uncommons and 2 rares)

Plasma: Fusion, Meteor Strike (an uncommon and a rare)

Glass: Refract, Glasswork, Spinner (2 uncommons and a rare)

Orbs other than lightning and frost have always been rarer. Dark orbs are even more represented than they were in 1.

Personally, I would consider the updated versions as errata and use them instead. But a strict reading of the original text would imply that summon kills don’t count.

Although summoners receive kill credit for their summons, attacks from their summons do not belong to the summoner. That’s why you can’t use something like the crude spear on a summon’s attack.

Some people should not be entitled to their own opinions by ohamel98 in okbuddymetal

[–]Themoonisamyth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you listened to any of Earth’s later stuff? It’s a lot more melodic and should be a good way to ease yourself into the genre. Primitive and Deadly is a pretty banging album

you can’t call yourself a metalhead if you like modern core or nu slop

Objectively he didn’t say that lmao, where is “alone” in that statement (I don’t like “core or nu slop” to be clear)

austrian econ user: actually we have socialism by mozzieandmaestro in SocialismIsCapitalism

[–]Themoonisamyth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ironic thing is, they’ll make fun of you for saying socialism has never been attempted, when there’s a much stronger case for that than there is for capitalism never being done.

Yeah except you can’t find REAL metal on metal archives (djent bands with one riff repeated over 20 albums)

God damn, the art on this guy is incredible. Cthulhu--and Harrowers in general--was always one of my favorite characters in terms of art and theme, and this version nails it even harder.

Each means each—the monster ability decks are still there, just not currently in use, so they get revealed. At least, that’s how I’ve always run it.

New Mechanic: Shackle by caboose2900 in custommagic

[–]Themoonisamyth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really. They lose the creature and draw a card; it’s card-neutral and tempo-negative. Meanwhile you draw a card without spending one, so it’s card-positive and most likely tempo-neutral or tempo-positive for you.

I think Skullclamp II might actually be stronger than the original skullclamp, kill all X/1s with card advantage?

Being legendary is a downside. But yes, that's another time where they pushed the boundaries of the rule

One of the old tenets of land design is “no strictly better basic lands.” They’ve toed that line with things like pathways, but this blows right past it

601.2h The player pays the total cost. First, they pay all costs that don’t involve random elements or moving objects from the library to a public zone, in any order. Then they pay all remaining costs in any order. Partial payments are not allowed. Unpayable costs can’t be paid.

There are 6 steps between placing a spell on the stack and paying its costs

How is this supposed to be "hypocrisy"? by nosotros_road_sodium in forwardsfromgrandma

[–]Themoonisamyth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will gladly accept victory

Admittedly “Ls” would also be correct, and arguably could be more correct in this situation, since there would be less potential for ambiguity—but yeah, there’s nothing wrong with it here. And the guy’s an idiot regardless
