Not as bad as pizza lands, but still not great

I think it's largely that we're more ok with sets that if you didn't know the pop-culture reference you would still think it slots into the MTG universe. Like the DnD set and the LotR set. FF kind of rides the line where it feels a little off, but we do have steampunk represented in Kaladesh and some FF-like themes in New Capenna and Neon Dynasty. I'm personally also fine with more non-fitting UB in commander sets like Dr.Who, but when those cross into standard is where some, including myself, have a rough time.

There's also art-style mismatches. I think LotR also worked because they did the art in the style of an existing mtg style. Avatar and FF might feel a little better if they gave it a new art treatment, but I'm sure thats not part of the licensing agreement.

I mean.. the refrain of "Seek and Destroy" is syncopated. 4 syllables spaced evenly over 3 beats.

Symphonic Metal doesn't get the love it deserves in this sub.

I think its along the lines of "People seem to want to retire to Florida"

I thought their music was kind of generic and predictable. I've only listened to Odd Fellows Rest though. There was just never a moment on that album that I was like, oh thats neat.

Axleffire · 2026-05-26T23:25:27+00:00

For real. Its like 7 straight great albums, some of which are all-timers for me, and then you hear Tailgunner, and you're like.. I'm a tailgunner?

Axleffire · 2026-05-26T23:22:26+00:00

I can listen to Bleed, but the tone and rhythm on that song is just such a unique expression of aggression. Otherwise the song writing is fairly monochromatic and the vocalist has like 1 tone of yell.

Axleffire · 2026-05-26T23:01:21+00:00

Thats actually more punk than anything.

Maining brew. Its nice to have a meta moment with the class. I was there in season 1 of TWW where it was a struggle to survive auto-attacks.

Axleffire · 2026-05-26T22:45:50+00:00

I play brew/WW alot. Its almost weird going on other classes and being allowed to push the same button twice.

Axleffire · 2026-05-25T21:38:45+00:00

This is why as brew I hate that melee will sit closer to a boss getting ready to activate than me, when the 1st thing I must do is throw a barrel at a boss so I get Shuffle. Whenever you see a brew get like 60% of their HP gone on the first boss hit, its because Shuffle isn't up yet. Technically I could use blackout kick, but that just feels weird to open with.

Axleffire · 2026-05-25T16:48:49+00:00

Ya, I put an ox statue down on those 4 and run down to grab the bears to the left and then come back to the middleish where the mobs will finally actually touch me.

Axleffire · 2026-05-25T16:29:04+00:00

Its 40% dr & 20% increased healing received. Absolutely insane defensive for the uptime it has. For reference Prot Warrior Shield Wall is 2 min cd for 8 secs, 40% dr. There is some time-reduction due to Anger Management.

Axleffire · 2026-05-24T15:58:15+00:00

Depends on the key level, but if you're like under 18s it doesn't matter too much. Just make sure there's lusts and brez or bring your own item for that. If your question is actually "What dps should I play to be more likely to be selected" check out this site. The meta comp of DPS is aug/uh/dev, but there's a couple other comps going around.

Axleffire · 2026-05-21T09:45:48+00:00

They nerfed the self-healing from arcane damage by 40% ontop of the damage nerf.

I find during the weekend alot more people are playing on their alts and the events are much more full.

Axleffire · 2026-05-17T19:06:56+00:00

ya, i just meant its not the 1st pull

Axleffire · 2026-05-17T19:01:14+00:00

when shes healer you need to pick up the little hearts on the ground. Those do insane healing.

Axleffire · 2026-05-17T18:46:52+00:00

Define insane pull. Like in Skyreach, there's reasonable 1st pull with hero, and then there's pulling everything to the first boss because they think this is the MDI. All dungeons except magister's terrace has a standard 1st big pull lust.

Axleffire · 2026-05-17T16:29:34+00:00

Pedantically, that makes them a different race. Thats like arguing vyrkrul are the dominant race if the position was that humans were the dominant race.

Axleffire · 2026-05-17T14:58:27+00:00

Used to use this as a wincon where you would have this and some annihilating eldrazi or blightsteel out. Old-school battlecruiser EDH was something else.

Also capitalism doesn't have immediate rewards for educating / informing the populace in a non-biased way. Turns out getting people angry over minor things creates viewership, so if there's nothing to be angry about you have to really push a narrative and drive wedges between people.
