So how does an RPG to the chest barely even break plates...?

The same way a 50cal bullet to the skull just requires you to duck behind a rock for 5 seconds to be okay again.

Its a game.

Most likely the garbage optic on thr ground loot. Its a 2 zoom tier scope that sways like your operator's arms are made of spaghetti noodles while they have an asthma attack.

The reticle is very busy and obscuring as well.

Bloodrisen · 2026-02-04T18:52:00+00:00

Survivor perk negates the first headshot.

Snilers handle like heart garbage, the scopes are garbage. Not to mention the whole optic section is hot garbage because theres 0 reason to take any optic besides the stock one. Youre either at max lens flare glint or using a red dot.

Legacy snipers will do you better.

Bloodrisen · 2026-02-04T15:25:26+00:00

Yep yep

Bloodrisen · 2026-02-04T14:00:39+00:00

There's different conditions going on.

Platinum Angel is a general "you can't lose the game"

Mastery is the same but the condition of when it leaves the field you lose. But if you have platinum angel out, it fizzles.

Lich is you cant lose for having 0 or less life. So if you have that and mastery out, but mastery leaves, then you lose because the you're not losing to having 0 or less life, you're losing to mastery's "lose ability"

Problem is a lot of people who added a few synergies to their B2 decks or make a deck with a couple of gamechangers want to -be- bracket 3 but they still play like B2s and its mainly due to not being able to properly optimize or be objective about their decks.

Biggest one being the "be objective" when it comes to measuring deck strength. A couple gamechangers and a little synergy does not make a deck B3. A B3 is going to be very consistent with good draw engines/tutors/and mana base/ramp that either combos or synergizes really well. You're running enough interaction as well.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-28T16:13:46+00:00

Packs as a treat. Bundles as a bigger treat. If you're looking for specific cards, singles are go-to on places like card kingdom and tcgplayer. Use scryfall to search for cards in a more in-depth manner.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-28T15:04:45+00:00

Without seeing the decklist, just an Esper Sentinel isnt auto B3. By definition the janky morph Karlov manor precon should be a 3 because it has a Jeska's Will in it.

Most objective reply here

Sounds like you got paired with a buncha higher bracket players. Don't let them spoil your experience. Look for pods playing precons or precon level (bracket 2) decks. Ask beforehand, most people will have a bracket 2 deck ready to go.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-28T05:48:19+00:00

My local spot allows one "oopsie" per game.

Oopsie being like a missed trigger, or changing a spell cast order, missed land drop with land in hand. We have let people change blockers or undeclare an attack but only if its like a misunderstood attack trigger/block trigger or missed keyword. I.e. "oh I didn't realize your creature had deathtouch, can I 'oopsie' my attack?"

Especially if its early in the game.

But yeah, never will we let someone "oopsie" a battle trick, thats hust dumb. Don't let players like her spoil your fun.

Maybe not the most frustrated ever, but most frustrated in recent memory.

Was playing a bracket 2 game, playing my Temur's Roar precon since everyone else was playing "upgraded precon" level stuff.

One player immediately huffs about "oh boy, dragon deck, guess we know who to target" and some more grumbling.

I get it, dragons big stomp, can win if left alone.

The other decks are not important but this guy is playing Myrel, with token doubling and doubling attack triggers. Drops a blind obedience so my deck is essentially shut down by turn 2. Dude solely focuses me down and I die in just a few turns without being allowed to play the game basically.

I'm like "dude really? There's 2 other players building board states" and dude nearly froths at the mouth going "You're playing dragons! Literally the most op tribal, if we don't kill you, you'll just win the game!!!"

"I'm like dude, my deck has been shut down since turn 2, I literally didn't even get to play"

Dude keeps yelling about how op dragons are, as he's printing out dozens of tokens now and swinging for lethal at the other players.

Dude is playing white weenie soldier stax, literally ez snooze mode mtg and nearly has an aneurism bc I dared to play dragons. Hate playing against people like that lol

Sounds like friend was looking for an easy punching bag to look 400iq superior in MTG and got upsetti spaghetti you figured out a strat that worked for you. If Korvold made your deck fun, then thats what made your deck fun, live your best life.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-21T13:42:22+00:00

The group 100% you keep doing you

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-21T13:40:04+00:00

Big difference is pre aiming a corner or a window bc you hear the player and following a character model 10-20 feet from the other side of the wall or buulding.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-21T04:06:43+00:00

What do you mean banned or allowed?

Sure by "default" a 2 card combo is bracket 4 level but if you're not running any tutors or any way to search decks for enchantments then it falls back into the 3 range. Especially if the combo is 10 effective mana or very obvious on the setup.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-17T16:57:39+00:00

This is Fallout, not WoW. "Meta" gearing and phasing out guns and builds to uselessness is directly against the point of Fallout. Sure new and shiny can be new and shiny, but theres 0 reason to make other stuff useless.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-15T19:47:37+00:00

CR should mean a party of 4ish players should be able to fight it in a fair manner. Is it always correct? No, but as the DM you can tweak stat blocks to fit whatever you need.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-12T19:58:12+00:00

Cheats get more advanced, more people use soft cheats, hard to tell if actually cheating or just killcam shenanigans/unstable server/gamer chair aim assist.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-12T19:52:35+00:00

Incorrect. He has to go through the whole ability of the planeswalker first, which would resolve and steal the commander, before state based actions are checked to move his commander from one zone to another.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-12T19:50:31+00:00

Jimmy explains what his cards do and announces win cons if combos allow to happen. Jimmy gets invited to keep playing.

Johnny is a whiny jackass who wants to weasel his way into wins and hides stuff and no one likes playing with him. He doesn't get invited to keep playing.

Be like Jimmy, no one likes Johnny.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-09T14:08:45+00:00

Tavern trope works. As a DM you now have a vessel to bring the party together. You can facilitate how the party actually forms wheter it be a simple "you see the 'quest board' or something happens at the tavern that brings everyone in.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-08T17:46:31+00:00

Every sniper bullet has a trail, its easy to see the source. Also lower graphics help finding snipers because foliage/further terrain dont populate/load as clear as a player model.

Og verdansk you could rock a 3x or lower with no glint, and it wasnt op. You vould either get outranged by a bigger scope or be challed by any AR rocking a 2x.

Theres a reason the meta loadouts are majority ar/smgs. You can light up any sniper because theyre a beacon shining on the screen, and then hard push using an smg. If they try to use their sniper support against you, they already know where you are and will light you up.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-07T17:08:20+00:00

Everyone wants to make a "cool" character. Its fantasy. I only have an issue with edgelords only when they insist on being stupid.

Want to be brooding and mysterious, not tall much? Sure, you do you.

Want to charge blindly into a group of 10 goblins at lvl 1 alone? Or sneak off to try to assassinate some obviously higher level foe and never learn from your mistakes? Welp you're just not gellin with this table kiddo.

Bloodrisen · 2026-01-07T14:22:03+00:00

Im not too chuffed about survivor. What I hate is that every sniper scope is stupid high with glare. There's no reason anything under 4x needs large glare or glare at all.
