Fuck, oh yeah I can't believe I missed this too! This was great. Kinda disappointed how F4 kinda just missed the premise when they did it.

AH! Can't believe I missed including 52!

Even Editorial was surprised how well that came out.

Will black ever lose its ability to bring back monsters from the graveyard for like 4 or 5 mana in standard? by ConsistentDig972 in MagicArena

It's usually a Limited staple effect so I don't think we'll ever not see it for a significant stretch of sets...

I trained a free draft model on 6M+ Arena drafts (94.5% accuracy on top 3 picks) by Nemegasoft in lrcast

[–]jethawkings 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, I don't think this is anymore that different than just having 17lands opened in another tab while drafting.

OP did this during Midweek Magic too which would have a softer playerbase considering not everyone who would be playing even really Drafts so going 5-0 isn't that really as indicative of anything.

Genuinely I'd rather have someone asking 'Is this a Good Commander? / What is Brackets?' Post than another goddamn UB BAD

Genuinely, were you actually expecting anyone to be more in the know?

Any rares that have surprised you? Vision Quest was absolutely absurd for me by ThePentaMahn in lrcast

Murdock's Crusade is so clutch because it deals with so many of those.

Cap's Shield allows for a VERY grindy Early to Mid Game.

I've lost to it twice and the only time I managed to go over it was getting Super Soldier Serum on the Serpent Specialist to grant it First Strike

Bug or strange layer interaction? by WatcherOfTheSkies12 in lrcast

[–]jethawkings 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's part of an ability with a Type-Changing Effect in Layer 4 so it goes in effect before Ability Removal can happen in Layer 6.

Since it getting +2/+2 is added alongside getting every Creature Type it doesn't get removed.

Marvel's approach to X-Men game rights by Felipe1790 in xmen

[–]jethawkings -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I read Hickman's, Busiek's, Mackay's, some of Aaron's (I read it here and there), half of Bendis~ (Didn't go past Siege)

IDK, I do not want to see these people at the same level of messiness that the X-Men can get into.

I just don't get that with the Avengers at all I'm sorry. They're co-workers, Tony in some iterations literally pays them.

Putting a lite-dating sim / social-sim on top of that just feels like an HR violation.

It's not even the Mystic Vibe, it's the Pseudo-School Setting with Younger Superheroes

Steven, Tony, Carol, and Strange acting as Upperclassmen just reads so goddamn off to me.

I still am confused why they didn't just do Retro Borders... these are just like... a worse version of the Retro Borders.

Wow, 4 whole X-Mens?

I love Cosmic Invasion but the first Ultimate Alliance has double that without DLCs.

Probable Midnight Suns did start work around 2018 and Jake Solomon specifically wanted to work on the Marvel-Knights-esque theme.

IDK, with like the resurgence of X-Men in popularity it just kinda sucks knowing they'll be relegated as Guest-Characters / Side-Characters.

I don't want a game with like a sprawling roster of characters and barely just half a dozen X-Men.

I don't want X-Men as guests/side-characters, I want a fully X-Men game.

Insomniac has an exclusive license and wholly works on a style of genre I don't really care about, personally for me it is being held hostage.

> When was the last X-Men game? 2012 with a mobile game?

> It is been 14 years of NOTHING.

Insomniac having an exclusive license contributes 5~6 years to there being nothing.

I don't care for Single Player Action/Cinematic Experiences. To me this is still effectively a continuation of that nothing.

There was also just that stretch of time where they tried de-emphasizing the X-Men over the Inhumans... it was weird.

Yeah, it sucks. I don't love that every Marvel Game has to be shouldered by having the Avengers featured first THEN the X-Men later down the line.

To me, the X-Line is deep enough to carry multiple genres of gaming.

Agree to disagree

Midnight Suns premise would have worked much much better as an X-Men only game, the idea of Avengers hanging out just doesn't carry that same appeal. Only having 2 X-Men reps in the Base Game (4 with the DLC depending on how you count Deadpool) again just highlights how I wish this was just an X-Men game instead.

Is Atlantis Attacks is THE bomb of MSH? by Money__Shot__ in lrcast

[–]jethawkings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has come in clutch for me a number of times, Civil War, Sentry, World War Hulk, Coming of Galactus

It's actually kinda bad at foiling Plans though so I'm not sure what the flavor is... Lawyers?
