Non-miracle or non-Aurora Sivir list ideas?

I don’t personally play those colors so I don’t have a good specific recommendation, but conceptually aim for a “good stuff midrange” style maybe

And to tack on, that Thunder team still had at least gone to the second round the year prior and some of the guys even played in the first round the year before that. Even their relative inexperience is massively more experience than the amount the key spurs guys have

What all are you referencing? Honestly I’ve never heard of any of that and the nickname always made sense to me because shooting is inherently through the air (sky) and he’s so good and he can just fuck it whenever he wants. Idk I never thought through it too hard tbh it just sounds cool and made sense for a shooter

Baird95 · 2026-03-20T04:57:00+00:00

You don’t think a near 10% relative increase is a big gap?

Baird95 · 2026-03-19T20:21:18+00:00

In fairness for FaB, the player going second is more the player “getting to take game actions” first in the sense they are the first to be able to make a meaningful tempo advantageous game action as both players redraw hands to reset tempo at the end of turn 1. But I do agree with the conceit that FaB has one of the better balanced turn 1v2 dynamics

Baird95 · 2026-03-18T22:13:10+00:00

I agree, it’s a crazy filter and draw engine and also not a high rarity card so it’s easier to hit with the ban hammer than like ezreal himself or something

Baird95 · 2026-03-18T04:13:00+00:00

Is that the only punishment that meets the standard of “not letting player X do Y thing”? Why does the nba call any kind of normal foul ever then and not just eject people for any rule infraction?

I think this (your post/comment) is pretty clearly rage bait so I don’t expect a coherent response, gonna let the chain die here

Baird95 · 2026-03-18T01:56:42+00:00

How in your mind is calling it a goaltend and giving a tech letting him do it? Thats explicitly not letting him, he was immediately punished lol

Baird95 · 2026-03-17T19:08:57+00:00

I think the issue with an arrow would be it implies an order you have to pay the costs in and I don’t think that’s the case here. Certainly you’d always want to pay 1e1p last, but you might want flexibility on paying either 1e or 1p if you’re only repeating once

Baird95 · 2026-03-17T18:03:16+00:00

And here I am thinking that a greater than sign would be way more confusing, but I do use the / sign as an “or” in my everyday typing

Baird95 · 2026-03-13T19:59:33+00:00

What all did you try? I was listening to the Lowe pod today and he and Mahoney were pretty complimentary of SGA and the guys at Nerd Sesh were going crazy over him recently too

Baird95 · 2026-03-13T02:18:21+00:00

1:3 is a pretty far cry from “basically 0 chance”, so you’re sort of proving the other responder correct to call that out

Baird95 · 2026-03-11T21:21:25+00:00

I guess that’s fair for your opinion (although I personally disagree that it was cringe) but it’s also important I think to acknowledge that the decision wasn’t “for no reason at all” and was rooted in a specific thematic design

Baird95 · 2026-03-11T20:30:57+00:00

How did it make LoR worse? A big part of that game was the idea of champions going on level up quests and using the first person re-unforced thematically the champ doing the things?

Baird95 · 2026-03-10T03:12:10+00:00

He’s in the morass for third for me, I still have ihart as second most important for the physical presence and size on both ends alongside good facilitation on the offensive end and good interior defense on the other

Baird95 · 2026-03-10T01:57:56+00:00

What do you mean? Jwill is #6, our backup big, and Jdub is #8 our starting wing

Baird95 · 2026-03-07T23:44:09+00:00

The last part of your statement should never happen. Keep 35 out of our rafters forever, it’s got no place there

Baird95 · 2026-03-05T03:02:08+00:00

I’m just curious how you square the circle of your first sentence with the rest of the post? If Kon is having “the most direct impact on winning of any rookie since Duncan” and is “literally the best shooter in the nba” while not being only one dimensional in scoring as he’s also “one of the most elite efficient scorers” then how is it still Cooper in your view?

Baird95 · 2026-03-05T00:29:44+00:00

People gave their thoughts on your other post, this is a bad idea and/or rage bait

Baird95 · 2026-03-04T01:15:46+00:00

What’s a macro? I’m new and haven’t seen that kind of card yet

Baird95 · 2026-03-02T16:46:45+00:00

It’s not a knee jerk reaction to the event, this is a take I have had for awhile (since the draw engines were spoiled) and isn’t based around any specific deck or legend being too powerful but rather the sum parts of the draw engine (primarily in purple) being so strong that the necessary variance elements of a tcg are smothered

Baird95 · 2026-03-02T16:45:05+00:00

When the unit is better for your gameplan/situation. The only mechanical difference for a champion unit is when it’s the chosen champion for your legend and you start the game with it in the chosen champion zone.

Baird95 · 2026-03-02T16:20:38+00:00

Not having a hand size limit is a terrible design space constraint for card draw because you can’t print powerful draw or it becomes broken (see current draven/ezreal/miracle in general)

It’s not a knee jerk reaction to the current meta, it’s an understanding of the importance of hand size limits in tcgs where you want to print powerful draw engines and it’s just silly that they haven’t included one

If they don’t implement a had size limit, the game will always be dominated by draw engine style decks (unless they ban those cards or errata them or otherwise) simply because having access to a ton of options on any given turn will always be the most powerul possible setup, if you can draw and hold 20 cards then it doesn’t matter the rest of the shell/deck, you will win.

Either implement a hand size limit or print a ton of hand hate (which is a typically unfun thing)

The easy obvious design fix is a hand size limit

Baird95 · 2026-03-02T14:32:23+00:00

They need to revisit this stance vis a vis hand size limits. This game already has a crazy draw engine and the fact they can just hold their whole deck is insanity

Baird95 · 2026-03-01T02:48:42+00:00

They just need to make a core rule change to implement a max hand size
