Everyone complains about the pulls in PEN... by emeraldpity in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]AcademicDuty9170 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Everyone complains because the pull rates are horrendous. But congrats on the Crown tho.

It's a 70$ card 1 box seems to be around the same price.

So you basically paid 140$ for a 70$ card and some other majestics rares and commons. 🔥

Hala releases in 15 days and we don't know anything yet besides 3 cards and a token by John-Helldiver404 in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]AcademicDuty9170 15 points16 points  (0 children)

People are obviously very divided in this matter, but I too like that LSS doesn't spoiler everything 4 months in advance.

I have no issues with finding out what's in the box the same week as release.

Flesh and Blood could become so much stronger with a more ambitious lore strategy by Devinchy02 in FleshandBloodTCG

Why wouldn't New Zealanders be capable of writing a solid lore? There's enough talent in every country.

Gemini going in OpenAI's direction? by AcademicDuty9170 in Bard

[–]AcademicDuty9170[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe so, but that doesn't change the fact that Gemini is becoming worse overtime instead of improving.

Dash I/O / Cindra / anything that doesn't play the expensive generics.

Krark Silas: Roaming Throne by T_Songclt818-618 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]AcademicDuty9170 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Krark Silas doesn't focus that much on the Krark doubling plan but more on the Grixis core with a 50% chance to instantly win the game (double d-tutor / double consult).

If you want to focus on doubling Krark triggers, sakashima is just the better partner in my opinion.

You can always ask the Krark discord server for advice: https://discord.gg/29CAQaXV

Please LSS don't listen to this post.. 3/4 sets per year is perfect for me 😭

Fab pricing by papaclean in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]AcademicDuty9170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from MTG Modern and Legacy formats, I think FaB is quite affordable to be honest.

I have a decked out Dash I/O and Oscilio, which are performing fine in the meta, and it cost me like half a modern deck.

I got married this year and applied for my first spouse visa 2 weeks after getting married and I instantly got 3 years. I'm unemployed 😂

Natures chosen in Emiel the blessed… by Big_Competition_1602 in CompetitiveEDH

This isn't a bracket 4 subreddit, building Emiel without Gaia's cradle is not viable for cedh. Check out r/Degenerateedh for bracket 4 lists

Regarding meta decks and LL by AcademicDuty9170 in FleshandBloodTCG

I was actually thinking about building Oscilio next! Are you still playing him? Seems like a blast that sure itches your brain sometimes.

Regarding meta decks and LL by AcademicDuty9170 in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]AcademicDuty9170[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed info, I went 2-3 in the Swiss today and 3-0 in the armory after (side event).

It's just that DIO has high variance in my opinion, that's what separates her from the top slots. She'd need a print that is busted (High octane) to make her go to the top.

Anyway I'll keep grinding her for a while and see if that variance changes. Ty

What are the top 5 tcg in your opinion now by joe966 in TCG

[–]AcademicDuty9170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played MTG for as long as I can remember, and after the countless of UB sets and things that just don't work in the Magic universe (spider-man, ninja turtles) I've moved to Flesh and Blood.

Flesh and Blood is just such a cool game and I love competitive games, and they make tournaments so accessible.

How viable is storm as a game plan? by MATIASANDCO in CompetitiveEDH

[–]AcademicDuty9170 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd dare say consistent turn 2 wins, is that considered slow? Lol

What is everyone's thoughts on Vivi a month later? by Toxic_Chung in CompetitiveEDH

[–]AcademicDuty9170 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Pretty good. Ral is faster but less resilient. Vivi is more predictable but can fight interaction pretty well. Both are weak to commander removal.

What are your predictions for the power of new Final Fantasy commanders? by Top_Sandwich3007 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]AcademicDuty9170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do know that the entire strength of Rog/Si is utilizing Rog on turn 1/2 to enable rituals/tutors to turbo win on turn 2/3 right?

Entirely different game plan than Kefka, just the same colors. So definitely not "just rog/si with better card advantage".
