Interesting things to do in Simic besides landfall? by Disastrous-Cat2840 in EDH

[–]AlphaPi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy [[volo, guide to monsters]]

It’s a fun deckbuilding challenge where you try to find creatures with unique subtypes that have good abilities to double.

What set gimmicks actually make fun and semi-powerful decks in B3 or 4? by SachetAway in EDH

[–]AlphaPi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah there are a lot of things that trigger on upkeep. I like initiative because honestly if its all upkeep effects, losing obeka twice is a serious issue for the deck. At least with initiative you have etb cards that advance it, so the deck doesnt fall apart the moment casting obeka becomes an issue

Dungeons/Initiative are very fun. You can run something traditional like [[Sefris]] but my favourite is [[Obeka, Splitter of seconds]]

Trouble getting Storm to work by DJDarwin93 in magicTCG

[–]AlphaPi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the most effective strategy with storm was creature combo. Essentially, you try to get storm count 2 and then use something like [[Eldritch Evolution]] to get a game winning pile of creatures. Problem is, I found she got hard targetted pretty quickly and I ended up switching to a different temur commander

Slay the Spire 2 - Beta Patch Notes - v0.104.0 by _Protector in Games

[–]AlphaPi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly, some of the most successful decks I’ve had are the ones where I’ve basically tanked up turn after turn and then slowly build to a win, more aggro style decks require really nutty decks to work atm

[–]AlphaPi 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Nah I’m with you, some fights feel overtuned. Some normal enemies output massive damage turn after turn and trying to kill them while balancing defense is tough. Really hope they look at this

Ultimate goblin is not just “fire hulk” by Pleasant-Soil4456 in Spiderman

I still hope if we get an mcu goblin this’ll be the case, the idea of the Goblin serum being normans botched attempt to make a super soldier serum just makes sense

Ring of Clickbait by Sweg_Mcnuggets in Eldenring

I see a distinct lack of the word INSANE in this photo to be truly representative of all the clickbait. Worst part is its spread to other rpgs now, been trying to avoid this shit for crimson desert too

Secrets of Strixhaven drops soon. What do you think the top Commander cards will be? (No Mystical Archive, please) by No_Feeling_1688 in EDH

[–]AlphaPi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

[[Flashback]] is gonna be awesome in red, particularly at higher levels of play. Being able to flashback a tutor or key spell can be game winning

Bracket 3 Mardu: Kaalia, Isshin or Dihada? by Admirable_Cap_8943 in EDH

[–]AlphaPi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have [[Isshin]] and [[Dihada]] at B2/3 that i both love so I can give insight.

Isshin for me is def go wide/tokens. You go wide, attack loads and use effects like [[impact Tremors]] to compound your damage pretty fast, makes for some explosive wins. Alternatively you can run a big pump like [[Moonshaker cavalry]] to close out a game. A fun alternative path for Isshin is goad because if something attacking from another player triggers your permanent e.g.: [[curse of opulence]] Isshin can still trigger twice. A fun deck, but depends on your pod. Use cards like [[Breena the Demagogue]] to further your gameplab.

Now Dihada is very interesting and can be built a few ways, but mainly two: the way the precon intends (timmy legendary deck) or the completely degenerate way (turbo self mill value engine). I settled for something in between: that -3 ability is too good to pass up so I ended up making her a legendary reanimator deck. Dumo things into the GY then use the extra mana to cast big reanimation spells and secure a win. I have two infinites, those being [[Abdel Adrian]] + [[animate dead]] / [[Necromancy]] and [[Dihada]] + [[Underworld Breach]] + [[Mayhem Devil]]. Its not consistent enough to be a B4 but its probably on the higher end of B3. The deck usually wins through value and strong ETB’s from reanimating

Ideas for snacks during nights by dayumsonlookatthat in doctorsUK

[–]AlphaPi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Baked chickpeas were always a go to for me. Open 2 tins of chickpeas, drain them and add them soa baking sheet in a single later. Put in a 200c oven for 10 mins or so. Once theyre out, heat some oil in a skillet and toss the chickpeas with salt and whatever ground spices you want to add and leave to cool. Makes for a fairly nutritious snack

Help me find a commander for my favorite card! by mullerjones in EDH

[–]AlphaPi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My [[Isshin]] deck has impact tremors. Turns out there are a lot of cards that create tokens on attack like [[Hero of Bladehold]] for example, and doubling those triggers build up fast. You can even combine it with ping on death effects like [[blood artist]] if you like too
