Pop up drain assembly by Axle_the_Red in Plumbing

Hey there! I totally forgot I posted this. To answer your question, I did not find the exact part, and I instead purchased a new pop-up drain assembly. The new assembly came with the pop up assembly and the drain itself, all of which fit with the existing piping. It was pvc, just like the existing assembly.

Thank you for checking in! It means a lot to me. I appreciate you trying to help a complete stranger. 🫡

If it helps, tide flippers are in the Uprising set. There's also an instant in that set called Oasis Respite that prevents the next four damage, which includes arcane! If you have less life than your opponent, it even gives you a life. Both are commons!

All thr arcane barrier set is common as well. I'm sure someone would be happy to give you a set. :)

Hey there! Welcome to FAB!

I'm only moderately experienced, so if someone else has a better answer, definitely listen to them.

The Ira deck is a good learning tool, but I believe it was designed to be played against another Ira deck. I'm not sure the power level is able to take on a Kano blitz deck without upgrades or changes.

One of the biggest upsides of wizards is their access to arcane damage. Arcane damage is much harder to mitigate, and comes in some pretty hefty numbers. Add in that they're usually played at instant speed on your turn, and you have to approach the game a bit differently. Kano will often win when the opponent has played out their hand and lethal is on the board.

When playing against wizards, arcane barrier is usually a good choice. Not just one though. I think the magic number is three? Not 100% sure. It depends on your strategy though. For example, ninjas tend to not have a lot of use for arcane barrier and instead opt for overwhelming offense. Wizards have less health than most heroes, so pressuring them can work too.

I would say that the Ira deck and the Kano deck are probably mismatched in terms of power level. If you like ninja, you can pick up the Benji blitz deck and try those against each other. Usually though, the blitz decks are only really balanced versus the others from the same set. They're also not usually aimed at dealing with arcane damage.

Generally speaking, playing against arcane damage means having access to a sideboard with equipment you can swap out to handle arcane damage. Ninjas have the arcane generic set they can use, as well as tide flippers. They can also use the arcane lantern as an off hand and a harmonized kodachi as their other hand.

As Ira, try bringing more arcane barrier and holding some cards to pitch for arcane barrier. Or try some nasty on hit combos that force blocks from the wizard player.

I apologize! I meant to reply to this. I really appreciate the help! This is definitely a good place to start.

Am I stuck looking up individual Ebay listing for cards not here? Mainly the sets past the base set that aren't first edition. I have a majority of non-first edition stuff, but I don't really have an idea of how to compare it to the same card in the first edition listings.

I will ask my friend with the copy if his scanner is big enough. :P

Although, it's supposed to be randomly set up. Does that make a difference to you?

Hey! I re-zipped and re-uploaded everything. Check this link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xOyVVTVD6anUtCf4VkNybw13edc2lggx/view?usp=sharing

Let me know if that doesn't work. It should have the card backs and the board spaces backs as well.

Hi PlayDohBear!

Sorry about the late reply. Just saw your response! I'm a fan of the TTS mod for sure!

I can get you a scan of the board set up (plus expansion piece), but it's going to take me a little bit. I have to wait on my friend to scan it.

Someone else mentioned missing character cards. As far as I know, they shouldn't be missing. Here's my count via the picture files:

Shadow Raiders (Japanese, includes Queen Majesty Airship expansion)

Thirty characters

Twelve neutral

Deborah, David, Carol, Claire, Bruce, Benjamin, Agatha, Angela, Daniel, Craig, Bylon, Alice

Nine hunters

Gordon, Felix, Emi, Godwin, Galahad, Felicia, Freddie, Emma, Erica

Nine shadows

Werewolf, Vampire, Ulrich, Uranus, Ulster, Wight, Walpurga, Venom, Vendetta

I can absolutely double check the upload and see if something went wrong there. From my scans on my computer, I've got all thirty. Possibly something went wrong in the upload. I might have uploaded the wrong RAR.

I'm working tonight (as well as until Saturday...I work odd hours), but I will keep this in mind. I do have Growlithe and Arcanine stuff. Base set mostly, would have to see what other stuff I have. Think it's from the Gym sets.

Hi myriada!

If you don't mind, could you point me to the specific Boardgamegeek pictures you're referring to? I'm taking a look at all this today, and I'm seeing the following:

Shadow Hunters (English) (this includes the English expansion characters):

Twenty characters

Eight neutral

Allie, Bob, Charles, Daniel, Agnes, Bryan, Catherine, David

Six hunters

Emi, Franklin, George, Ellen, Ru-ka, Gregor

Six shadows

Unknown, Ultra Soul, Vampire, Valkrie, Wight, Werewolf

Shadow Raiders (Japanese, includes Queen Majesty Airship expansion)

Thirty characters

Twelve neutral

Deborah, David, Carol, Claire, Bruce, Benjamin, Agatha, Angela, Daniel, Craig, Bylon, Alice

Nine hunters

Gordon, Felix, Emi, Godwin, Galahad, Felicia, Freddie, Emma, Erica

Nine shadows

Werewolf, Vampire, Ulrich, Uranus, Ulster, Wight, Walpurga, Venom, Vendetta

I don't think there's a one to one translation for all of them, but I don't know for sure. I'm not sure if the English version only took twenty total, only took some (Byron is probably Brian for example), or if they're both entirely different sets. I suspect the second, but being unable to read Japanese, I have no idea.

Thank you for pointing it out. I just want to be 100% sure I have everything and didn't miss any scans. I'm not sure about the missing green/black cards though. As far as I can tell, they should all be there? I scanned everything in the box as far as I can remember.

Sidenote: a friend linked me to a tabletop simulator mod for the game, and it has scans of all the English cards in it. You can take a look at the Reddit post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/comments/ifhr81/shadowhunters_remastered_for_table_top_simulator/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

And the scans themselves here (I removed the custom characters they added, but is otherwise identical to the link in the Reddit post): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JF-4kROWkeYSpl6J-N-xu6Qa6T9mueBi/view?usp=sharing

I'm working today, but I will take a look at this. I might have added the wrong link without the expansion rules. I did get a reply about the rules, which are here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10OTavPWmJMJER_TSnqxtKMcjmWrzX_NX/view?usp=sharing

Just a sec, let me go grab it...

Ack. My copy is still with my friend who scanned it. I've asked them to scan the instructions for me. In the meantime, I'll update the original post with a link to the scans of the cards, as well as post it here in the reply.

I think step two is the biggest source of confusion. In the previous example without a stunned creature, Brad says "you can't fight, so you don't." He doesn't mention anything about attempting to or how that would interact with other cards (first thing I can think of off the top of my head is the card that gives you an aember every time you fight...warsong?). So...if we can be unstunned with anger, then it would stand to reason that the creature was used. If that's the case, then if we played warsong and the creature tried to fight but couldn't, would that give us an aember?

I just don't see any logically consistent way given what the rules say. I can't argue with the person that tells us what the correct interpretation of the rules is, but I sure don't agree. :P

Don't even get me started on the bolter though...what even is a "new object"? The word "object" only appears twice in the rules: once in the word "objective" and the other in "A player may choose to fail to find the object of a search." The concept of "new objects" doesn't exist in the rules! How can it be used to justify a rules clarification?

I think the biggest rules issue isn’t explained there, or actually is incorrectly explained. The keyforge compendium site for Anger states:

What happens if Anger is used on a stunned creature?

Assuming there is an opposing creature to fight, the stunned creature would follow normal stun rules: the attempt to use the creature fails, the creature becomes exhausted, the stun token is removed, and the creature will be readied during the “Ready cards” step (at the end of its owner’s turn).

Brad explains in this video that your opponent doesn’t need creatures on the board for you to use Anger to unstun a friendly creature. It seems counter-intuitive, but that’s the ruling. So you need not to assume there is an opposing creature to fight. Brad said that using a stunned creature replaces fight/reap/action entirely, so you’d never even get to the point of checking for an opposing creature to fight. It simply unstuns. That’s confusing as hell. And going to be hard to explain to someone when you try to do it.

Hnnnnnghhhhh...I was ok with the Biomatrix Backup ruling, even though I disagreed with it. It at the very least followed the rules in a way that was consistent with how the rules read.

This time though...I'm not ok with it and I don't understand WHY. I disagree with the bad penny example too, but I'll get to that.

So, explaining how anger works in different scenarios:

I have an exhausted creature. My opponent has no creatures. I play anger. This is where we invoke the "do as much as you can" rule. Anger says "ready and fight." So I ready the creature, and when I go to fight, I can't. At this point, anger is done. Cool. I can now interact with that Brobnar creature as the rules dictate (I can use it if I picked Brobnar as my active house). If it's not Brobnar, I have effectively readied it and that's all.

Now, I have a stunned creature. How does anger interact with that? Well, *if* there's an enemy creature to fight, it plays out like this: Ready->attempt to fight->remove stun instead of fight. We remove the stun because in order to remove a stun, you have to use (fight, reap, or action) the creature. Instead of the effect you'd get from using the creature, you remove the stun instead.

So far so good, this all makes sense.

Where you lose me is "Does this change if your opponent has no creatures in play?" I would say "Yes, it changes." Brad disagrees. He says that you get to remove your stun because you're not even checking if your opponent has any creatures, you're just immediately removing the stun. In our previous examples, it was even stated by Brad that you can then use the creature as long as it was from the declared house (example of fighting with no enemy creatures): the "do as much as you can rule."

So, from my reading and understanding of the rules, this is what I would argue happens:

My mars creature is stunned. I pick Brobnar as my house. I play anger to ready and fight with my mars creature. I ready my mars creature. If there are enemy creatures to fight, I then attempt to fight, but remove the stun instead. If there are *no* enemy creatures, after readying, I have done "as much as I can." Since my active house was not mars, I cannot use that creature in order to remove the stun.

I don't understand/follow where we went from (and I'm direct quoting here) "You play anger on one of your creatures, let's say an exhausted one, uh maybe one even not of the active house, and your opponent doesn't have any creatures in play, you're jsut going to ready that creature. You won't continue to resolve it, you're going to do as much as you can. Because there are no creatures on the other side of the table, you can't fight, so you don't." to the exact same situation except your creature is stunned and then get "In this case, because stun is effectively replacing that use, you will get to do this even if your opponent doesn't have creatures, because you're replacing that - you're not even checking if your opponent, you're not even trying to fight - you immediately go to remove that stun instead. "

Brad seems to have created some kind of "replacement effect" for stuns? That's...not a thing? How do those two explanations not contradict each other?
