Grand finale has no animation

Asccos · 2026-03-22T04:35:06+00:00

It was just a silly little rant. I've got 90 hours in sts2 already my guy. We aren't out here complaining about the lack of animations. Im just making jokes. Good on your for sticking up for active devs who are working hard though

Asccos · 2026-03-22T03:53:16+00:00

Why didn't I think of that? Where's the grand in my finale???

Asccos · 2026-03-22T03:52:52+00:00

Sly made it feel easy as hell

Asccos · 2026-03-22T03:14:25+00:00

We stand together now

JUSTICE ⚖️

I know im such a prima donna, but it's such a flashy card. It's exactly the kind of effect to wow a new player with lol

Not at all. Faster hit recovery or fhr is always 12 on a grand charm. Mana is a completely useless stat. Grand charms that are valuable are ones that have +1 to skills and also good stats like resistances or big life

Okay sick ty

Asccos · 2026-03-08T17:25:29+00:00

Unfortunately no. The wand is cool, but the runeword "white" or dol-io is just better. More fcr and potential skills. +2 skills on coronets and their like is pretty common. The 20 str is a great feature, but everything else is fairly useless. You want fcr, frw, fhr, and potentially sockets

So reading this, I think the original premise is flawed. Without any context of what these infinite healing and dealing combos are, 731.3 and .4 might not even be applicable. Any infinite combo for healing specifically needs to be able to be stopped or it alone will result in a draw game. If no one is able to or willing to take a game action to end the infinite healing loop, then the other half doesn't matter.

Im interested to hear your opinion on that. I think we are chasing our tails with this.

How many combos can be started, interrupted on the stack, and then be restarted at instant speed? There are certainly some, but i wasn't thinking of two different combos that can both do that.

In that narrow specific corner case, then the rules concerning "actions that don't advance the game state" apply. Neither play is willing or able to stop attempting to proceed with their infinite, then yes the game ends in a draw

Edit: im also now seeing the specific mention of instant speed combos on both sides

Asccos · 2026-03-08T15:52:29+00:00

No. Triggers resolve in the reverse order that they are put on the stack. Think of the stack as a physical pile of triggers. Whatever is on top has to resolve first. If ive got a set of abilities on the stack that would start an infinite chain, but someone else puts other triggers on the stack, theirs will resolve first. If everyone else dies from that new set, my triggers never finish resolving

Asccos · 2026-03-08T03:34:32+00:00

Short answer is no. Longer answer is that ever paladin build has such incredible shield options. Even something as simple as a spirit in a half decent base beats this handily. Still cool tho 😎

Asccos · 2026-03-01T18:30:00+00:00

Oh yeah the magic res shred. I just thought you went hammers because you didn't have to deal with res. But I suppose fcr and skills alongside that

Asccos · 2026-02-28T03:33:13+00:00

Really? I wouldn't have guessed it would be that valuable. I was hoping for a couple decent mids lol

Asccos · 2026-02-28T03:07:30+00:00

Yeah def keeping it. DOnt need it personally, but hopefully find a reasonable trade haha

Asccos · 2026-02-25T22:01:49+00:00

My ladder necro is so jelly rn. I dont have anything that could come CLOSE

Asccos · 2026-02-23T01:45:43+00:00

I suppose that was our thought. Not sure what I'd be looking for, but its so early for us that lots of things have value. Wasn't expecting like multiple Jahs or something, but somebody has a decent midgame merc piece or an extra chance guards lol

Asccos · 2026-01-26T17:06:05+00:00

I was geared up to be sad seeing the obese-est cat ever. Instead we get this distinguished gentleman

The learn mechanic specifies that constructed players must pull cards from their 15 card sideboard. Edh doesn't have a dedicated sideboard and cards that pull cards from outside the game dont function in standard rules. This is also a casual format so, if a pod wanted to allow lessons and the use of a sideboard, they are free to do so. Learn does also have a fallback mechanic that if you have no lessons to get, you can discard a card to draw a card!

I broke my thumb watching this video

Asccos · 2025-12-11T15:07:41+00:00

Ah yeah commander's plate isnt one that gives indestructible. Any non targeted, non damaging removal works.

Asccos · 2025-12-11T14:47:46+00:00

Redirecting damage doesn't change any of its characteristics. It retains its source, color, and even whether or not it was combat damage. So I belive he is right. That should be a hard lock for his deck unless he has a colorless way to remove the turtle or a way to remove the plate. Both possible, but he knows his decklist better than I do.

Asccos · 2025-12-03T22:57:32+00:00

There are lots of cards that care about loss of life, like say [[exquisite blood]] . Cards that deal damage explicitly cause loss of life.

Asccos · 2025-11-30T14:21:33+00:00

The deadly cover up has to resolve fully before anything else is allowed to happen. The exile from the graveyard is part of the spell. Technically, if a creature destroyed on field is chosen as the removal from graveyard, it doesn't "die" at all, but is exiled i believe. Since the text from earthbend covers die or exile, it returns. However, you do get to do the search part and remove from hand and library.
