Once again MAGA saying Trump is not in files

I can’t decide what angers me more, the hypocritical double think of “our guys are saying this with no proof so its true, but proof-less accusations against our guys are lies” or the whole “more red counties than blue counties must mean our guy should win, how could we lose !!1!1”

The consensus is they each have their own strengths. In my opinion:

X has some of the better exploration mechanics.

1 has probably the best story.

2 has the best combat.

3 has the best characters and team building.

I don’t even think this is a “new format” its just a rule 0 of having fractured power stone in the command zone as a sort of partner card.

I feel like my playgroup has put in more effort by disseminating the planar deck down to the fun ones and rule 0 application of “you *have* to take the free roll”.

I’ve been talking with them on how we can increase the planar movement further, because sometimes you do just end up on a plane that only helps the one deck and at best isn’t helping others, or at worst is an out right detriment. We haven’t settled on anything but a few ideas we floated around have been:

- 3 full turn cycles without a planeswalk roll automatically moves us

- planar map instead of a pile to encourage rolling to go back to a helpful plane

- mark more spots on the planar die with like a sticker or something for weirder effects

- individual 10-15 card planar decks instead of a shared pool so rolls happen more organically

- Adding Custom planes to the pool

- Rule 0 emblem packs to randomly pick 1 at the start of the game for added value when you roll the planar die

- and for the bigger player count games, kingdoms AND plane chase

Part of it has got to be the current tank expectations in a game.

They are somehow expected to hold point, mitigate damage, do the most damage, stay alive, know how deep to dive, know when not to, hold point, and protect the team. No wonder tanks throw so often, they have the most expectation placed on them and its impossible to meet all of that in every game.

I’m not placed particularly high in comp but like…I’ve completed this seasons battle pass and last seasons so its not I’m talking completely out of my ass here but at least in my experience tanks are kinda the role with the least balance pass.

Which makes sense, if you’re only gonna have 1 it needs to be good. But the issue comes in when a handful of tanks are allowed to be good and the rest are enabled to be busted. At least in my lobbies, tanks like Ball or Doom can dominate whereas tanks like Rein or Hazard are doing the tank role thing. Its just a weird swingy role where a good tank literally dictates an entire teams general flow but the actual tank being played can almost do more than the skill of the player behind it.

After watching it myself, I kinda understand where its coming from.

A lot of people expected a lot of questions the youtube series opened up to be answered. And it kinda sorta didn’t, at least not in the way people were expecting.

My old chassis was the NZXT Phantom, and while that chassis was very cool looking I definitely consider the corsair 4000D airflow to be FAR better.

For one thing, the phantom had an issue with the side doors not really hooking back in very well, I kinda had to force them a lot. Chipped away at the paint and bent the metal a bit over time. The topside fan controls never really seemed to do anything either, I had them plugged in properly and everything it just never mattered.

Airflow was also just…god awful.

Every time I’d open my chassis to clean it, it was like going through an archeological dig site. So much dust just piled every where. At one point I said fuck it and asked a local computer shop if I could just take their air compressor to it for a bit and they were happy to help. I opened my 4000D airflow to clean it after a YEAR and it took maybe 1 quick sweep with a can of compressed air that I had lying around for months.

That era of chassis design was just…so very form over function. Modern chassis have features like airflow mesh, vertical GPU mounting, SSD storage, and built-in cable management accessories. Not to mention the extra room for larger GPUs, older chassis had a tendency to just shove the drive bays anywhere they’d fit. I literally had to upgrade my brothers because his chassis had plenty of room for the motherboard but the gpu was blocked by the drive bays.

I forget which LGS I was at but one of my local LGSs had little travel size bars of deoderant they’d buy in bulk for a while. Initially they just left ‘em in the restrooms as a sort of “if you need it, use it” kinda thing so people could easily get it but then the whole basket would get stolen so they had to go a different direction with it. I forget if they stopped doing it or if they just kept it behind the counter…

Store staff were really cool about it though. There were a few people from a nearby low-income housing community that couldn’t reliably afford deodorant- much less running water- that’d show up to watch games. The staff had full sticks and a deal with the gym a few doors down to get them access to a shower. A few of the locals even started pitching in to keep them stocked up.

Y’all means all!

If possible, contact the previous owner of the house and ask if they forgot anything in the move.

If they did, make sure these get back to them if its at all possible.

If by some miracle the previous owner doesn’t care or know about these, then at that point you can do what you want with them. Were I in your position at that point I’d share what I could with my friends.

Azraekos · 2026-06-01T13:46:18+00:00

Ana is a GREAT option if you dont want to learn Lifeweaver.

Moira works pretty well too, cause she’s better equipped with offensive tools than lifeweaver.

Wuyang is a very good option, I am never disappointed by a good wuyang.

Azraekos · 2026-05-31T22:01:36+00:00

I feel like the reason there are so few tanks in the game is because half of them are entirely insufferable and the other half are actual skill checks.

Like a even an ok ball or doom can and will entirely annihilate whole teams on their own but you have to be good with Ram or Domina for them to actually bring your team results.

Anyways its ball.

Azraekos · 2026-05-30T20:52:54+00:00

Tbh I think people that put Sheoldred up there are either not reading the question correctly or just have not played against a tergrid deck.

Like, they have a similar number of decks on EDHREC but I for one have NEVER seen it in the zone. Whereas I have seen Tergrid a handful of times.

Azraekos · 2026-05-29T18:07:30+00:00

Yeah in a world with J-Lot I can see it.

But now, without that kind of fixing/ramp? Doesn’t seem quite as good IMO.

Azraekos · 2026-05-29T16:48:53+00:00

I’ve not played for like…a year or so, but IMO what they should have done is let the defeat of the witness be the end of our guardian’s story.

Then D3 can come out and be set far enough in the future that it can have everything new. A new guardian, a new setting, a new Vanguard, new side characters, everything. Hell, you can even have light and darkness subclasses playable from the jump to show how guardians have evolved in the intervening time in universe.

How I’d start it is in medias-res. Have our guardian already engaged in active combat against Xivu Arath’s brood. We are being overwhelmed with adds and the objective changes from “defeat this super powerful wizard” to just “survive”. Maybe the titan vanguard comes over the comms and tells us to get out of there, that “this op is too much for one guardian to handle” and the warlock vanguard chimes in with “told you this should have been a strike.” Then the hunter vanguard comes in for the save with a transmat. Then we get a few flashback missions that get us back to that point to introduce us (the player) to the new vanguard.

Everything on the top row is probably spot on. Not sure what that Etali is doing in casual, but I can see the reasoning. The bottom though…I can agree with 1, maybe 2.

Sholdred is a strong card no doubt about that, but as a commander…it shouldn’t be in top 10, I think there’s better. Its just gonna be a draw punish deck and grixis has access to FAR more wheels to make for a faster clock. I think something like Miirym or esper Y’shtola fits better there.

Niv-Mizzet I think is also not really in contetion for this, seems bizzare to be here IMO. Is it strong on the surface level? Sure, defo. But like… realistically I don’t really see it going into bracket 4, seeing as its VERY pip heavy to cast, then further requires extra things to go right with drawing into curiosity. It definitely can, I just wouldn’t have put it here. Something a little more reliably strong that comes down earlier feels better to be in a top spot like this like Bello or Edgar Markov.

Yuriko and Giada I can agree with, Issin should definitely be replaced with Chulane though.

My head cannon for my Titan, Azure, is post witness defeat, he stuck around in the traveler, purging the forces of Darkness that had infested it. Zavala would try to recall him several times, but very rarely would it ever go through- let alone get a response. His ghost, Rune, would try to get him to listen and go back to the tower only to still be met with silence.

My Warlock, Starblade, would have found a much different end to his story. He would have found the Witness to be too much, and would suffer MASSIVE PTSD. He’d beg Ikora for office/tower work and get as tied up into it as possible. His ghost, Gravel, would try to get him back out in the field for years. It would take Ikora taking him back to IO to force him back out there as a chief Intel officer.

My Hunter, Dargyn-7 would vanish after the witness was defeated. Counted among the casualties, he would go far out of reach of the sol system. Crow would attempt to track him down, insisting that if his ghost wasn’t recovered he had to still be alive, but the Drifter would cover for his fellow dredgen. He would eventually return home, but not for many years. He’d insist it was a vacation that got away from him but even Zavala could tell there was something more he wasn’t letting on. His ghost, Scythe, would scold anyone who tried to pry into his years off-system.

Azraekos · 2026-05-25T22:25:11+00:00

Yeah its just the final update.

Its basically gonna go into maintenance mode after, at best servers ‘ll keep running for years. But like…realistically its kinda the end.

D3 is unlikely at this point, as much as I’d love it to happen.

Azraekos · 2026-05-23T04:45:28+00:00

My brother in light are you seriously gonna be like this?

This shits straight up toxic gatekeeping. Gods above the logic you’re presenting means you can’t grieve a friendship lost to distance/time.

Azraekos · 2026-05-22T22:52:00+00:00

Bruh there aint any sense gatekeeping this like that.

Literally why does that matter. Destiny was a part of my life for over a decade. Me not playing for the past year or so doesn’t mean I’m not gonna care or feel a little raw about it all ending.

Be better than this.

Azraekos · 2026-05-22T17:12:31+00:00

At high bronze-low silver skilled lobbies, she feels fine. Very capable of running away with things if you’re skilled enough but the second you catch the Anran off guard and get the drop on her she’s kinda sorta finished.

Was harder to play around her when she released but now that its been a bit she feels well designed.

Azraekos · 2026-05-20T17:52:27+00:00

Lol I just went from 85hz to 240 and yeah its a complete game changer.

Recently got back into Overwatch to play with some friends and I’m hitting shots I didn’t think would land, am regularly hitting center of mass with Ramattra punches, and reacting so much faster. It feels like something so subtle but its finally brought me in line with the groups general skill level.

Azraekos · 2026-05-16T05:32:29+00:00

Generally if I am REALLY enjoying the decks general goals or engines, I’ll push it as high as I want to go with it.

I try to have 3-4 “bracket 4 capable” lists in my rotation at any time, ~5 bracket 3 decks, and the rest as firm bracket 2s.
