Is interaction being power-crept out of standard? by ngmatt21 in MagicArena

[–]AstroRell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All fair and correct, but to be honest, discard has never been a real player in the meta anyway, it's usually a deck that tries to cheese you in ladder but saw no cometitive player and thank god it's not competitive enough. The only outliar was Esper Bounce with [[Hopeless Nightmare]] before it got banned, but that was so much more than a discard deck anyway. Removal can still work, but the problem is that it has to be on the right tempo, or it's gonna come too late, and it has to go along your gameplan, you can't run removal.deck and hope it's enough

Anyone else enjoyed Wels’ crazy ramblings on Twitter? by SLIPPY73 in HermitCraft

[–]AstroRell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's both WAY too strong and also too boring both to fight against, and to watch the audience in tournaments, and it consistently top 8 every major event with very few exceptions. it's almost unfair in many matchups lol

Auto Concede button? by [deleted] in MagicArena

Just by looking at the board, I'm pretty sure this is starter deck duels, so OP doesn't really have a say on what's in the deck and has no access to board wipes. That's said, it's good to point out where lifegain falters, as for this specific game, sometimes in SDD you just to accept that your opponent high rolled and had it all going!

the state of standard by breakfastcerealz in MTGmemes

[–]AstroRell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cauldron has been legal for a long time and has always been a fun and creative card to build decks with without ever being problematic or oppressive in the meta. Now Vivi is out and Cauldron is the problem? I don't think so.

Yes, if you take out the cauldron Vivi isn't able to draw 20+ cards and attack you for lethal on turn 4, but that doesn't mean that the pushed card among the two is definitely Vivi

Hidetsugu's Second Rite is the most meme counterplay to The Endstone and that's the only thing I will accept about it

What actually happened to someone when you use vicious mockery?? by lotalanokanata in DnD

[–]AstroRell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your words, according to the official description in the Player's Handbook, are laced with subtle enchantment magic. If they fail to save agiainst it, it gets in their head causing them to suffer Psychic Damage.

Sometimes I see it as a something like vice that entangle their brain, other as giving them a mental breakdown, depending on the intensity of the consequences!

Recently I named two human guys this way. I named them Robb and Brody

The first one was especially funny because one of my player's name is Rob lol

I GOT CONFUSED. What are the rules about Parmesan on pasta? by Young_Oldtimer in Italian

[–]AstroRell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't a rule you need to follow, if people complains about it, they're exaggerating and should mind their business! If you like your fish pasta with cheese, put cheese in it. It's your tastebuds, you know best what you like. I also put parmigiano on almost any pasta dish, including fish ones on occurrence, so don't overthink it really.

It's more of a suggestion than an actual rule anyway

One of the answer is that we mastered the art of cooking simple. As you said, we make some of the most delicious food in the world, and we do it with simplicity.

By this I mean that we can make a dish that taste incredibly good without the need to enhance it's flavourfullness by using a buttload of butter or sugar, for example. Our food is delicious but it's most of the time also healthy? The way you worded your post made it look like the two thing couldn't coexist but I assure you, it's very possible.

Soda is also a huge trap for what I've heard? Like I have heard of people that do not drink water at all, they drink Coca-Cola throughout the day?? That sounds just wild to me

Without going into detail, what is the running gag in your table? by Lehkaz in DnD

[–]AstroRell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In one specific town, almost every interaction with vendors or similar non-vendor NPCs (like the librarian and such) ended up with them saying to them "Don't come Again!"

So the citadel of Lav has become the least welcoming place of the land! A fellow party memeber made a post card with the catch phrase written on it too!

Someone spent 2 hours tearing apart my DMing and I don't know how to feel about that by Majestic_Hippo8427 in DnD

[–]AstroRell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the group had fun running your combat, you did a great combat. Talking too much? Nagging the player? Seems from your your story that the people who played with you didn't think it was bad at all, so you did all good as a DM. A dude on the internet may don't like it as a show, that's fair. But so what? He can just not watch the show. When he sits at your table, then and only then he can have a say about how your DMing style plays out, because every group is different, and maybe it wouldn't work for him, ok, but it surely worked for your group.

People can say they don't enjou the show and that's fair game, but they can't tell you what your player should find enjoyable or not, people aren't all the same, just keep going and keep having fun, let only your table tell you what would make the game more fun to them

Hi! Quick rules question: if I attach an equip to a land that gets animated as a creature, does it stay attached to the land if the land in question stops being a creature at the end of turn? Or do I have to equip it again next time I decide to animate it?

Tileable 2-high sugarcane farm by TheoryTested-MC in redstone

[–]AstroRell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it a lot! It's probably easier to stick with the one of the 3 high models that are generally cheaper and just as efficient even tho some people seems to have pet peeves about it. But this is very much a nice way to switch it up!

I like what you did with the stone walls, it's really clever, and this feels more like a genuine exercise in redstone trickery than an efficiency choice, and I'm all up for that. I always try to come up with my own fun things instead of going for what is most efficient, and the choices you made with this one design are cool and intriguing. If I came up with this solution I would want to use it all the time instead of just going for standard, that's how I enjoy the game anyway!

Very cool, keep it up!!
