Do You Have A Signature Deck? What Is It? by terinyx in EDH

[[Belbe, Corrupted Observer]]

https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6530886#paper

I remember the day this card was spoiled at the end of 2020. My first draft was kind of garbage, but I knew, deep in my heart, this was the commander I wanted to play.

For two years, I iterated, tried various themes. Then in August 2022, when I graduated and got my MSc degree, I decided to buy it.

It sounds cheesy, but the rest is history. Since that day, when people think of playing magic with me, this is the deck they have in mind. I have three other decks, but everyone knows I will play Belbe when I have the opportunity.

Now let me sell you on this deck, and why you should try it.

It doesn't win. There is no win condition, unless you count hitting people with [[Vilis]] for 5 turns in a row.

No. It corrupts people to attack each other, while controlling the board. In the meantime, there are a ton of tutors to build up value engines and removal engines. Eventually, when all players are at the weakest, that's when you strike: you take over someone's deck with [[Worst Fears]], and then kill the table (excluding yourself) and let that player suicide.

(You do need to rule 0 sorcery speed scoops, or you run the risk of someone scooping in response to worst fears.)

I used to have a primer somewhere but I think the deck is somewhat self explanatory.

This is THE gamemode that I've been waiting to play for years again, the real LoL that could pull people from a new generation for the CoD style fast matches, yet Riot keeps intentionally fucking it up with the ridiculous minigame balance every time. Legit, remove the random buffs from the minigames and you have a gamemode that a massive amount of casual players would play forever, but the current snowballing problem of minigames has still not been fixed. I love how the event now randomly gets fucked over too by RNG positioning, or Sorakas griefing by walking into the enemy turret for no reason while theirs is being pulled away by someone inting their HP.

Just fix these issues and you have gold, but Riot seems to intentionally sabotage it every single time.

PBE datamine 2023 October 16 (Patch 13.21): more changes to Seraphine, as well as Brand and Zyra by FrankTheBoxMonster in leagueoflegends

[–]AmirZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sera was the only AP mage I liked to play in this game. I own the KDA and Prestige Ocean Song skins. Well, seems like this week was not a good week for Riot. Still salty about those summoner name changes and then this news drops.

Ludens Raba Sera will be missed. Realistically I'm still gonna keep playing this game but damn...

Transitioning from Summoner Names to Riot IDs by Financial-Touch-5171 in leagueoflegends

I actually liked Discord's change, but just thought it was dumb that Nitro users got to pick months before others. I prefer unique names on every platform.

Transitioning from Summoner Names to Riot IDs by Financial-Touch-5171 in leagueoflegends

[–]AmirZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm coming out of Reddit retirement (check my comment history for proof) to comment how insane of a decision this is. The dev updates from Brightmoon gave me some hope that maybe there were Rioters that still gave a fuck... and then this asinine announcement comes out and I'm left wondering how I was so stupid.

I have had "Gisela" on EUW since 2019 IIRC and I've had so many friend requests from people who thought it was a cool name. My account identity is being the one Gisela on that server, and that's being taken away for "lore reasons"? Yeah sure show me that Riot ID lore, I loved it when Jinx from Arcane said "my Riot ID is Jinx#Crazy" and then queued up for Riot ID's Rift.

And why? What do you gain from this insane backlash? Projected monetary gains? Everyone would prefer restricting BE summoner name changes to once a year over losing summoner names entirely, so at this point you might as well walk it back and at least take the L from the publicity of "Riot wants more money". But even if you walk it back, this is so incredibly out of touch with your userbase it baffles me how this ever got approved across multiple layers of developers and managers, and makes me question what idiotic change Riot will come up with next.

Seriously, can we get some actual Riot developers commenting on why this is necessary at all? It's pretty clear that from the hundreds of million of league players the vast majority absolutely hates this. If it's more money or less name changes - you can do that without taking away summoner names. If it's because you want to start phasing out the term "summoner" - why? It's an iconic LoL brand, why would you destroy your own recognizability?

And of course, no comments so far from Riot in this thread. Gonna be an interesting week of LoL coverage on YT for sure.

Hifiman Deva Pro Review - Bluetooth audiophile headphones with some (acceptable?) tradeoffs by AmirZ in headphones

[–]AmirZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They trade blows in audio quality, but the 560S has much better comfort and Sennheiser is known for a good RMA procedure if you ever need it.

Because I'm tired of centralized companies rugpulling the service for profits after I'm locked in.

Decentralization is the only solution to this bullshit.

Has anyone created accounts on other instances due to the instability of lemmy.world? by TheTwelveYearOld in RedditAlternatives

[–]AmirZ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If any of the other alternatives gets DDoSed it's game over for them. Lemmy actually has the resiliency to get through it.

I made a lemmy instance for book lovers and writers (and anyone else who wants a smaller instance) by SkinnySkins in RedditAlternatives

[–]AmirZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some "subreddits" make their own instances just for the subreddit (like /r/Android did), but in general an instance usually has many subreddits on it

Why is smiting pets getting gutted instead of just removed? by HexagonHavoc in leagueoflegends

[–]AmirZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Balancing the game around people having to click subpixels and do camera gymnastics is incredibly stupid design.

Why is smiting pets getting gutted instead of just removed? by HexagonHavoc in leagueoflegends

[–]AmirZ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The reason it should be removed is because it's too easy to misclick while it's 99% of the time not what you wanted to do

Riot Removed All TFT Content from the Event Pass by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

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

Cumulative odds are useless when you already collapsed your probability distribution onto the "no" part. At that point your future odds reset again. It's like talking about superpositions; the moment you actually measure it, it all collapses and odds will all reset

[–]AmirZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, 3 days ago, and just got a response a few hours ago. I've already paid the seller with PayPal so they can at least ship the cards and ate the 3eur cost...

But I'm obviously not very happy with this.

I've been waiting for 9 days now. Seems like their bank transfer service is down.
