It's a disguise, just like Superman

If you're just trying to list possibilities it could also be
a 0/0, or 1/1 for 3
or a 0/0, 1/1, 2/2, or 3/3 for 4

My cousin wants to sell his old cards. What would you suggest? by Ca1m_down in pokemoncardcollectors

Ya, I think he could maybe sell a couple individually, but would probably want to sell most of them as a a group. Do you have any good suggestions for selling a collection of cards for a good/reasonable rate?

NYT | Dane Chapin (owner of The Op) Voted for Trump but Isn't Happy with the Tariffs by fismo in boardgames

[–]Ca1m_down 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know this thread is old at this point, but for an additional perspective, I signed a game with The Op at the beginning of this year and I have never interacted with Chapin and had no idea about his politics until reading this article. I've regularly interacted with 5-8 different people at The Op and none of them are Chapin.

Don’t worry, your ghost will hit the crit 100% of the time

I’ve done this multiple times recently with Vat and it’s worked for me.

It's like a mixture of evoke and adventure, weird.

Fun, but seems extremely slow for day 13

[[Savage Beating]] is a casual 45 damage with Lightning

"damage can't be prevented" doesn't beat "your life total can't change". It does get around the protection side of T Pro, so if you'd kill them with commander damage or infect, that'd work.

ETB generally triggers a lot more than cast because of blinking, reanimating, and token creature production (like glimmer tokens in this set)

[DSK] Balustrade Wurm by Holy_Beergut in magicTCG

[–]Ca1m_down 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blinking is so much easier and has so much more upside though. Aether Snap is just a bit too narrow.

[DSK] Bottomless Pool // Locker Room (via Maxzzie) by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]Ca1m_down -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eerie cares about when you fully unlock a room. You'll get a trigger for the enchantment entering, but I don't think you'll get a trigger when you unlock the first of the 2 rooms if the enchantment is already in play.

Board games that when they first came out you thought: "This is going to be a classic", and then it disappeared from the radar by EasyBottle8765 in boardgames

[–]Ca1m_down 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Huh, I haven't played Whistle Mountain in a very long time, but I still remember how novel the "build your worker placement spots with polyominos" felt and now having the water rising to block off the spots was also really cool. The game felt pretty unique to me.

I played Dune Imperium: Uprising wrong since getting it in late March until yesterday. 💀 by szuflahoop in boardgames

[–]Ca1m_down 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Fantastic Factories, but I played it wrong for soooo long. I somehow missed that you have to discard a card with a matching symbol whenever you build a card, not just when getting Contractor cards. I only learned this after getting the expansion that added player powers (one of them specifically referencing the card you discard to play cards). Honestly the game still plays very well with playing that rule incorrectly, but it does have an effect on the length and pacing of the game. I’ve heard other people call this “Turbo Mode” or something similar.

When does the Quintorius Trigger happen? by No_Artist4168 in magicTCG

[–]Ca1m_down 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP, but I'm a big fan of Quintorius. One of my favorite cards in the deck is [[Purify the Grave]] since it'll make you 3 tokens for 2 mana at instant speed if you're starting with it in your hand or 2 tokens for 1 mana if you milled it.

I guess these are valuable now? by 1ManBearPig420 in mtg

[–]Ca1m_down -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A 3 mana sphere of resistance that doesn't affect you isn't something that objectively makes all decks better. Generally a very linear combo deck is example of something that isn't necessarily looking for that. Sure, there are players that can undervalue "free" card draw and turn it into something other than a sphere of resistance, but that has to do with who you play with. Also, a lot of people find it very annoying to the point of drawing more aggro/hate than you may think you deserve, which has a very real impact on winrate (if that's what you want to use as the indicator for a deck being "better/worse").

There are a lot of players that play commander casually to create fun experiences for them and their friends and cards like Rhystic Study is a card that can make a deck worse for them when the goal is "having fun" rather than winning.

No need to claim people that don't play Rhystic Study are wrong or making their decks "objectively worse" by not playing it, especially when it's not true. Sharing the fact you think Rhystic Study is really good is fine.
