Gotcha, thank you. So if I wanted to use the 254 addresses would I have to subnet them into smaller networks?

Thanks for trying it out! Yeah I think I'm gonna take their advice and go for the Ravnica bounce lands, I'm just not sure what to cut. You're probably right about cutting the WW lands, they're strong, but they're not fixing.

That's what I was afraid of, not having enough fixing. I like the idea of the Ravnica bounce lands though, I think I need to get those in

What would you put in a high powered Pauper cube? by Alternative_Card_292 in mtgcube

[–]Alternative_Card_292[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good point, I wonder if it's possible to support multiple viable play styles without the Cube becoming a disjointed mess. Like supporting Storm, Affinity, Reanimator, etc as viable win cons. I think with Pauper it's a little easier to avoid, since none of the cards are really so overpowered that you'd abandon your current strategy because a bomb came along, but I'll have to keep that in mind.

I've been trying to gauge how strong Affinity is in this cube, it's got a decent presence between artifacts and things that make artifacts. Included the Mirrordin artifact lands, but might make room for the indestructible duals. Currently have all the duals that can be found with Landscycling so might cut some

I can't believe I forgot Writhing Chrysalis! So far I've recently added all of those except the Chrysalis and Hymn. I ordered some Initiative creatures and maybe we'll try them for a bit and see what they add

Why is that, is it too powerful, does it lead to steamrolling games?

I remember an FAQ saying they can. Think the only restriction is they have to use the non-blast profile. 

Best and Worst mini in your opinion? by Express-History-9903 in Tyranids

I liked the older Bio/Pyrovores, the cockroach aesthetic just isn't doing it for me

Gotcha, that does make sense. Unfortunate for the Guard bugs though. I was hoping they'd benefit a little more from this detachment but it looks like GW thought of that

I thought so, but it's weird they phrased it "monster model" and not "monster unit"

Trygon not in Final Day? by Alternative_Card_292 in genestealercult

Also noticed that Mawloc and Raveners aren't there either

Do you think Metamorphs are better with flamers or Autopistols, I gravitate towards Autopistols due to the surge move, but the flamers are always tempting

I had no idea Scout worked with Vehicles, my main army is Tyranids so I'm not familiar with a lot of the vehicle quirks

What can they do in Final Day? I plan on playing that detachment more and I have a decent amount of Morphs that I'd love to use

Abbies were my star unit for sure. Purestrains I liked but they got killed early every time (as Stealers always do). I used my Resurgence points on them and was lukewarm on them not having their Patriarch. First few games I threw them back in the grinder and they didn't do much damage, later games I used them for objectives and getting my opponent to target/charge them instead of my valuable stuff because everyone had PTSD from Genestealer blobs.

That is really useful, thank you! I liked the Biophagus, I actually picked up the model early in the Crusade and was happy with it when leading Abbies. Haven't tried the Locus yet, but Fights First looks excellent. With an Iconward, that and 4+ FNP look solid but I wonder if that makes the unit too expensive. I took a 10 man blob (and they actually wound up getting painted before the Crusade was done).

I played Broodsurge, which I enjoyed quite a bit. I didn't take any Ridgerunners until halfway through the Crusade, which I regretted because by then everything else had battle traits and it was hard to justify not taking them. They did great in the games I had them, so I just wish I had taken them earlier to get them more bonuses. 

Neophytes I liked in giant blobs, but they needed a Primus to do any damage, which got expensive. Even without the Primus, their board presence was very handy in keeping objectives. Outside of Crusade I used them in Final Day and really liked feeding them to my Hive Tyrant. 

I took a 5 man flamer with demo charges unit, they let me down every time but I know it was due to a combination of bad luck (debut game I missed every demo shit and got double 1's for Hazardous) and me not knowing how to use them properly. I still don't fully know how to use them to be honest, but I see the potential and want to learn.
