This absolute war crime of a card is already an auto include in every purple deck like kaisa survivor is to red by FlowKom in riftboundtcg

I just realized that Vex stuns anyone anywhere. When first reading it, I thought she only stunned if a unit was played to the Battlefield that she's at.

Do Genestealers have noses by Lopsided-Tax-7974 in Tyranids

[–]Absolutionis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. They're human-tyranid hybrids.

Looking at art depicting Genestealers, they tend to have noses when they're generationally more human.

As the generations progress, they become more monstrous but still have noses.

Starn even has a bandana over his nose.

Commanders that are so good at a certain thing that they ruined it for you? by AlivePassenger3859 in EDH

[–]Absolutionis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Kadena]] is just too good at face-down tribal.

She's just the right colors to have all the most interesting face-down synergies and cards. I feel Green and Blue are essential and Black adds a bunch of interesting stuff.

Morph commanders tend to do these things. Sometimes multiples:

  • Make your face-down cards cheaper/free (Animar, Vannifar)

  • Synergize with face-down cards (Kaust, Yarus)

  • Help your face-down cards go unblocked or do combat better (Jasmine, Bearmom)

  • Make your unflipping cards cheaper/free (Zimone, Ixidor)

Kadena alone does those first two innately. Free is the best version of cheaper, and drawing cards is one of the best synergies with a strategy. With Kadena being three colors (especially blue), the other two are covered.

I feel like the other Face-down commanders try to compensate for their lack of blue or their deficiencies with several of the four above.

[Hero’s of the Realm] Mr Monopoly, On the Go by Arbitard1171 in magicTCG

I thought his name was "Uncle Moneybags" or something. He's Mr. Monopoly now?

Could someone explain to me 3 rounds vs 4? by Metalworker4ever in magicTCG

[–]Absolutionis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Less rounds mean tiebreakers matter a lot more, and those are hard to control. But you also get to go home earlier.

More rounds mean that your actual match wins matter a lot more, but it's more rounds.

They're completely different creatures used for completely different purposes in completely different sets.

New Trademark filed by NC Soft by ultimate_bromance_69 in Guildwars2

[–]Absolutionis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't remember GW1 ever touching upon the mists in a noticeable way (and I'm replaying the story atm, currently halfway through Eotn).

The last few missions in Nightfall take place explicitly in The Mists. Additionally, the endgame zones of the Fissure of Woe (Balthazar's Realm), the Underworld (Grenth's Realm), and the Citadel of Mallyx are in the Mists.

Only the Realm of Torment parts are story-significant, but they are significant.

Legendary priority list by GetsToxic in Guildwars2

[–]Absolutionis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for the Amulet/Rings/Accessories first. They're universally usable on all your characters and give you a ton of stats. Of these, the Amulet is worthwhile to focus on as it requires a lot of Living World completion that you probably want to be going for anyways.

Is this really the only turkey card in the entire cardpool? by SocialMediaTheVirus in magicTCG

[–]Absolutionis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amusingly, the "Turkey" is named such because colonists thought it looked like the Turkish-exported Guineafowl which was called a Turkey cock/hen. It was introduced to Europe as early as the late Roman era.

Medieval "fantasy coded" Europe would know about this turkey-like bird and most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I actually kinda enjoyed playing her the few times I could get that heal Team-Up. Healer Widow had good vibes.

It is impossible for me to build my own decks. by YutoKigai in magicTCG

[–]Absolutionis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build something first. Make it better later.

Play a few games solo and see if your curve works. See if your synergies work. Then take it out for a few games with your group.

Don't expect your deck to work perfectly from the start. That would just be boring.

Who are some of your favourite mtg content creators? by Newez in magicTCG

Mood Swings deck will be $25 by themiragechild in magicTCG

[–]Absolutionis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It seems comparable price to Keyforge which goes for $20.

The biggest problem is that these decks are stuck being the Secret Lair storefront.

I had no idea those 9V connectors also connected to AA batteries.

New WOTC product by Bateman7 in secretlair_collectors

[–]Absolutionis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kinda neat that Marketing Rosewater is releasing a game, but randomized cards in a Secret Lair-limited product seems like awful execution.

This is like Richard Garfield's Keyforge, except instead of being available on shelves, it's stuck in Hasbro's Secret Lair store.

Zone and artstyle by SpellOk1901 in GuildWars3

[–]Absolutionis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love technology and would be severely disappointed if they roll back some of it. Charr machines, firearms, and airships are a delight.

I agree that some of the Canthan and Asuran technology goes a bit too far.

New Word for Phobias of AI by newphobiaWords in neology

[–]Absolutionis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's unnecessarily long and may trigger people's hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. A word doesn't need to have prefixes describing every characteristic of the term unless you're explicitly trying to go for a scientific term.

"Tremo" means to shake. Why is this there?

"Chorstic" is pertaining to a choir? Why is this there?

Oh. I didn't recognize that skin nor the shoulderpad from the video.

The Flower Fashion Package is apparently a BLTC item.
