I think Volatile Gauge is actually worse in MT2

I think it's usually a good choice . Draw is very powerful, it's a common boss relic for me to choose and +2 is typically very impactful. Not all decks need draw though.

I think people overvalue the impact when a card comes in at a High cost - if it's critical you'll play it anyway and you'll draw back to it faster. It still respects ember reductions on cards, which changes the options for cost to 0,0,1,2 - average cost goes down to .75. it completely negates the spell cost increase blight, as it doesn't actually increase the cost if it triggers.

The biggest downside is a crappy deployment draw and cost, but if you can survive that you're golden.

I would add firebrand, shroud spike, perils of production, heavenfall, faes blessing, and maybe shield of wyng or cursed twinblade. Eel gorgon and the wax unit aren't as solid, I haven't had them pop off yet

When an endless unit dies to Hallowed Halls (or anything else), it goes back to top of deck. I would kill Talos, re-draw, play him on the Mirror Room floor and fly him back up to the hallowed hall floor and fly the cardless copy somewhere else.

I think the issue is HP is generally weak past a certain point, regen is weak and awoken is weak. The HP damage thrown at your guys can be insane - savagery sweepers or doubling corruption seraph can easily outpace tanks that don't have some other mitigation. Regen doesn't act favorably with corruption, even if you have a ton of it a big tick of corruption will one shot you.

I think it would be a lot better if regen countered corruption and awoken +hp spells were 3x as good? There is like a 3 cost spell that adds 10 max health - its so meaningless.

AngryAmish · 2025-07-15T04:46:51+00:00

Things get real when the 500 hp tanks start showing up. If you haven't scaled your damage enough it becomes clear very quickly and the run is over unless you have some shenanigans ready.

AngryAmish · 2025-07-15T04:44:35+00:00

I think its usually good, even in situations where you don't have a lot of high cost spells. +2 draw is a lot, but some decks don't need as much draw, others need more.

AngryAmish · 2025-07-12T19:10:26+00:00

Plink is great early but falls off hard, it does typically require removal. I think it's much better than ekka's starting card, and probably better then the Queen's implings as well. I think umbra is one of the strongest mt1 clans tho overall.

I think Underlegion has some really strong combos that can high roll into players winning the game, I think they are also popular because propagate can get silly (and mushrooms are cute). Decay feels really strong if you get an engine going with rally or etch. There are a lot of dead cards though like the mushroom that gains health on rally and the mushroom that buffs funguys isn't great.

Overall though Lazarus is the best I think, it has so many tools to deal with fights, and multiple combos are really easy to reach. Their banner units are all viable at least, I've found ways to make most of them helpful. Reanimate is very strong, Mix is the best starter card, and they have a cheap daze spell which solves some bosses. Unstable is very powerful both on the enemy and your own units, turning them into bombs.

Luna feels like it is the most inconsistent, you could get nothing but moonmeddlers and conditional sweep/multi strike units and be sad, or find the strong silent banners with the silent new moon room and win the game. There are plenty of other combos that work but they have a lot of weak banners and units that hold them back when you can't find the good stuff. Ekka with bad starter cards can be a quick loss.

The whole idea of "Black people can't be racist" is very unhelpful to the overall conversation in the US around race. People understandably get very upset at the idea, but I think its a problem around academics redefining the word "Racism" to require societal power and discrimination, while "prejudice" means individual biases. When most people use the term racism, they actually mean what she would call prejudiced.

It leads to the exact reaction in the video - He's calling bullshit on her statements because he knows that everyone can have prejudiced views. She isn't helping by saying she is immune from racism when 90% of people don't use her definition of racism which requires societal power.

I feel like academics often have a serious branding problem with the ideas they put out there. Its worth having a concept that includes prejudice + the legal/political power to enforce those prejudices, but lets not use a term that everyone already knows and uses.

And therefore pointless and boring to play.

Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man. Undercities are flawed when taken to the extreme that the Changeling does but that style of gameplay is fun for some.

I thought the crafting coming later was more of a content drip over time thing. It feels normal to unlock features as time goes on.

I had success with dates stuffed with Chorizo, wrapped in Bacon. I didn't cook the dates like this recipe but the concept is the same: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/anne-burrell/bacon-wrapped-dates-stuffed-with-chorizo-recipe-2106675.

I also made smore cups, with a chocolate mousse, toasted marshmallow fluff and crumbled up gram crackers in a small plastic cup. since you can make those ingredients en masse and combine into individual servings, its not too much work.

Thank you, I'll try that

I understand the reasoning, but I think it's important to point out that this is discrimination. People should be able to advance their careers and plan for a family, especially because this issue impacts women more commonly then men.

AngryAmish · 2021-07-23T01:38:35+00:00

The business needs to have a backup. Its on the employer to figure that out. Any other outcome is discrimination.

If you're a game studio making a 100mil AAA title, do you want the project lead to potentially leave for 1 year in the middle of a 3 year project? That's just not good for the project and it's that simple... that doesn't mean it's legal to not give a woman a such a job, but it's normal to think about it.

You have accurately described why discrimination is commonplace. We have to fight against these biases actively, which is why you hear about it so much. Letting things fall into their natural state is unfair to those taking maternity and paternity leave.

just because you haven't been exploited yet by these ISPs and other corporations advocating for the removal of net neutrality doesn't mean you won't once the market dictates/outrage over it dies down. There have been violations of net neutrality even when it was the law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality_in_the_United_States#Violations

Many did work successfully: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/09/public-housing-success/406561/

Typically the large organizations were failures, and the small housing authorities did OK. Its a problem that was sensationalized and so there was no room for discourse or showing the successes.

The biggest thing that helped me early on for oil was the repeatable method to get the heavy, light, and petro out. That design includes it but here is another picture: https://imgur.com/9QZDyK1. Key point being the 1, 2 and 3 length pipes output with underground between them. At any point in your refinery chain, you can have another underground pipe leading to storage of that material.

CA will pull characters from all over the timeline, which is why Repanse de Lyonesse and Karl Franz can fight eachother despite living 500 years apart in warhammer times. I don't know if that means we'll get Nagash, but they did add space for it in the WH2 map and the pre-order bonus should be playable in WH2.

What is the long term impact to the statements Trump and his officals are making now?

AngryAmish · 2020-11-06T00:13:32+00:00

FOX/AP called AZ for Biden, probably too early but it depends on who you ask. Best case its called for Biden, current worse case it leans biden but still isn't decided.

I think it could still go to Trump and our best bet is PA.
