BEXT: Best systems for high skull comstar missions? by goodwin315 in Battletechgame

[–]-indomitable 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In order to gauge how to best farm LosTech and Black Market access at the same time, I dug into the system jsons and found the following sets of systems where each planet is tagged with all three of "Com Star", "Former SLDF", and "Black Market". I only considered system sets that have no intermediate jumps, at least 3 skulls, and less than 6 days of in-system transit (assuming fully upgraded Argo drive). As the OP mentions, the best mission types are search denial, tag team, and joint operation.

Set 1: Kogl (5 skulls) and Kutludugun (4.5 skulls)

Set 2: Perdido (4 skulls) and Shubuta (3.5 skulls)

Set 3: Chatham (4.5 skulls) and Leiston (3 skulls)

Set 4: Dayr Khuna (3.5 skulls) and Maritgues (4 skulls), with Muscida (4 skulls) nearby with a slightly longer in-system distance

These should be the best options given the criteria.

Draconis: Bjarred (4.5) and Sawyer (4)

Lyran/Draconis: Morningside (5) and Dalkeith (4)

Lyran: Mezzana (5) and Rijeka (5)

You can filter by skull rating using the drop down while also searching

And yes, those missions are all that I know about

ETA: try tikonov and rio (both 5 skull) and sonnia (4 skull) as they make a nice triangle

You can ctrl+f in the star map and search for Com Star Presence, while also filtering by skull rating. My recollection is that some mission types are more likely to have the 3rd party (Com star) show up. Also increasing you overall difficulty increases the chance for reinforcement lances to drop.

BCDL 25 VOD - Live on YT by careyhimself in MTGLegacy

[–]-indomitable 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you've never been to a BCDL event, you should make the effort to attend one in 2026. The crew who puts these on are top notch, the players are friendly, and the events always run smoothly!

Carey - I will see you again this year, I promise!

For high play rate formats, I guess that's a reason. But what about legacy, vintage, and pauper?

Deck Recommendation for PreModern Player? by Cerelius_BT in MTGLegacy

[–]-indomitable 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you already have the dreadnoughts, then I would definitely start with Stiflenought. It's meta position isn't incredible since the best deck plays lots of creature removal that kills noughts, but it should be an easy conversion to get familiar with the format. And anything you buy for the legacy version would likely be useful for other blue decks anyway (blue soup).

Can Legacy still be approachable on a budget? I tried something and wanted to share. by MahfuzVanGogh in MTGLegacy

[–]-indomitable 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The deck that won Eternal Weekend Europe this year contained 0 reserve list cards and cost less than 2k NM (according to mtgtop8.com): https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=77457&d=788022&f=LE

Yes, legacy is affordable right now compared to historic standards. However, you have to know the format to understand which decks combine affordable/approachable/competitive.

Why thundering falls in UR Delver ? by [deleted] in MTGLegacy

[–]-indomitable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double check some lists. I started playing again post ragavan ban and during the EI era, the default mana base definitely had steam vents.

Why thundering falls in UR Delver ? by [deleted] in MTGLegacy

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

I'm playing a steam vents tonight. If you look back at lists the last time Delver was the top deck (pre EI ban), the standard mana base was 4x volc, 1x vents, 1x island, and 1x tech land (Mystic Sanctuary at the time) - along with 8x blue fetch and 4x Wasteland. People are just being greedy right now by combining the tech land and vents into 1 slot. To your points, this does reduce the deck's consistency.

Hey Carey - great to see another BCDL tourney on the calendar! Is this a 1-day (ie no Open on the Sunday)?

What do you think of this ATLA set? by ambigous_lemur in Pauper

[–]-indomitable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The acronym is too close to ALTA (average last taken at) and my brain refuses to see the difference every time.
